Personally, I think there should be a law limiting blatant stupidity like this excellent example here.

[godspeed06]

did they take a Hummer and make it look like an Escalade, or did they take an Escalade and make it look like a Hummer? i think they took a Hummer and made it look like an Escalade... but why?

[phatlee]

Obviously they did the crossover look to show off their *bling bling* prowess. Also, you might notice that the rims on the left side do not match the rims on the right side. Yet another example of just horrid stupidity. I have yet to figure out the two different sets of rims, well, the only time I really see that is when ricers cant afford a set of four rims so theyve got aftermarket ones up front and stock ones out back.

[j703]

haha thats great ! bet its owned by a 'rapper' LOL

[hemi_fan]

Dude, this thing is from the sema show. Its not some poor ricers car. This thing was built to display a comanies conversion talents, and also some of their nicer Bling Bling rims. Obviously they did a good job because its a very good conversion from H2 to Escalade, even if it is sort of pointless. I actually like this truck it takes the overall look of the hummer and mixes it with the more appealing escalade to end up with a very nice truck. But as usual u guys look for the bad points and categorize it as a stupid gangsta bling bling POS truck... o well maybe next time.

[phatlee]

Not so much looking for the bad points as I just dislike the whole idea of having a 6000lb behemoth of a *car* barreling down the road with a callous disregard for other drivers on the road. Im not really categorizing it as stupid gangsta bling bling, but just unnecessarily worthless. Worthless implying that it has no functionality other than to assuage the ego of the person that drives it.

[hemi_fan]

That makes sense, but the way I see it... no-one really drives this thing. Its a promotional vehicle and as such it does a really good job. It would be extremely pointless for an everyday driver because all you are doing is totally destroying the off-roading capabilities of the hummer. Its on-road manners might be improved but it probably has airbags which wouldnt make it the best ride. But as a show car it kicks ass. And I wouldnt mind driving it around on weekends. Im sure you could turn some heads.

Those wheels are freakin huge! You can thank Yokohama for that, they are the ones who made a 26" tire and wheel.

Whoever did the work is pretty damn good though, it can't be easy to graft the front end of an Escalade to a Hummer!

Just like you guys, I hate the huge wheels. I think it looks pretty dumb. Especially on trucks.

[TT]

No no no.... this is huge.

thats gonna be expensive!!

[geekdiggy]

i wish jabbasworld had a pictures and video forum

[geekdiggy]

actually, at first glance the title of this thread looks like "unnecessarily huge boobs" so i was like hmmmmmmmmmmm what's this about

[phatlee]

Haha, I bet the guy that drives that LX470 (or is it a Landcruiser?) had to cut his fenders all hardcore style in order to fit those dubs. Jesus christ, you can run over a small village with those things.

[BADMIHAI]

Damn that's stupid. IT just beats the heck out of the point of having a Hummer (or SUV in general).

[sikx5]

i read that the h2 and escalade run on the same chasis, so it was basic bolt on job and there both owned by gm so. and that is a landcruiser and it said it had 40" wheels...the truth of that i do not know....

[hgt]

But don't you think this is a fake photo? I mean the Lex not the Hummer. I guess it's not real. Look how far the wheel bolts are away from each other. It might be simply photo-edited. Anyway, is there any producer of 30 inch wheels?????

[Zonda11]

Wow! I've never heard of anyone combining two cars before.

[TeflonTron]

LOL. I hate this passion for Bling-Bling and huge wheels. I'm more into understated chic. That way, they think I'm a (young) fart and I can blown them away at the lights: not that these whales are designed for racing!

[ferrari550]

Those two pics are just insane, the second pic looks like a lexus or a land cruiser. but the rims are huge, kind of funny though all the same.

[pimrusis]

I hate both the hummer and the escalade. So there!

[jwar]

No no no.... this is huge.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~denton/30wheelz.jpg

I'll bet these are 35"+ rims. Haha. Can you even turn the wheel?

[TT]

They're 30" rims. So unbelievably stupid. I dont even wanna know the cost.

Pimrusis... share your apathy for the H2 with these guys: http://www.fuh2.com/ Kinda funny.

What do you think I said?
That exactly what you said. You have to forgive the blind man in a hurry...

[stradale]

Usually I get mad when I see these displays of complete lack of taste, but this time I just laughed... and laughed... and laughed... :lol:

[hemi_fan]

Even if the H1 and H2 are on the same chassis, they are not comparable. At the Toronto Auto show this year, I sat in both, and the H1 is just SOLID steel. It has that old 60s car sound when you close the doors etc. and its so much more solid feeling. There is not one tiny piece of plastic in the entire truck. The H2 on the other hand is completely opposite. It seems very cheap and poorly built. The difference is amazing if you ever sit in each right after the other.

[TT]

as a graphics designer...and a damn good one (shameless self-promotion)... i am pretty damn certain this puppy isnt photoshop'd. No altered pixels in there from what i can tell.

[callen]

those wheels on the lexus look photoshoped. i though the biggest wheels available where 26 " and they only fit into the wheelwell off the gmc denalis ,tahoes, suburban. those wheels look like they are 30" or somethin stupid like that. as for the cadillac hummmilade there, ill take the rims on the driver side as 21" and thats the nicest truck out there. great conversion sick truck. cant wait to see what else this company has in store for the aftermarket. give credit where its due folks even if it aint ur style! :D

[TT]

Ya, hey, sorry brembo... what the hell do I know??

Under your advisement I have decided to quit my firm, stop teaching, and devote the next 7 years of my professional life to becoming a full-time alcoholic. Thank you for showing me the light. And hey, if you can find time away from insulting the professional integrity complete strangers, you can always come and kick my dog.

:wink:

We all have our own opinions... just make sure to leave it at that... Its all good bud
