Hummer change

Curious reporter really can not stand some of these units like tanks converted Hummer H2 temptation, believe that you will be stared at this moment, right? All four wheels car completely gone, replaced by four wheels are driven crawler “round” than almost any off-road vehicle track tire but also wide, I believe that this outfit is definitely not used to open the highway.

Hummer change

Precision of the track in the four wheel brakes and the axle inside and suspension systems are still, so if there is a need that Hummer is also able to smooth Taiwan in exchange for the original wheels kept running. Axle to the engine’s power transmission to track-wheel-drive vehicle is, I really would like to have such equipment will not have any way to block it.

Hummer change

Test off-road vehicles by nothing less than the nature of these water-related indicators, mounted on four sets of track wheels Hummer H2 will be no doubt of the cross-country has increased significantly. Higher ground clearance that allows the vehicle to wade across the engine and the exhaust pipe is not easy when flooded, and Crawler wheels will increase the evil by nature under the road slightly.
