With a renewed focus on recreation and off-road racing performance, HUMMER comes to Las Vegas and the 2009 SEMA Show with a group of four special trucks and SUVs demonstrating the purpose-built nature of HUMMER vehicles.

With a renewed focus on recreation and off-road racing performance, HÚMMER comes to Las Vegas and the 2009 SEMA Show wîth a group of four special trucks and SÚVs demonstrating the purpose-built nature of HÚMMER vehicles.

HÚMMER introduces two concepts, the H3 Moab, outfitted wîth a host of off-road performance accessories inspired by its namesake, and the H3T Sportsman - a proposal for the ultimate outdoorsman's truck. In addition, Rod Hall Racing's two-time Baja 1000 full stock-class winning H3 Alpha and Robby Gordon Off-Road's Dakar-proven HÚMMER round-out HÚMMER's 2009 SEMA Show display.

'HÚMMER is refocusing on what made the brand successful, which is building rugged, all-terrain vehicles wîth capabilities that meet the needs of our customers,' said James Taylor, HÚMMER CEO. 'These concepts not only highlight the off-road performance technology built into our models from the factory, they are inspiration for enthusiasts who want to express themselves via their H3 or H3T.'

While none of these specialized HÚMMERs are currently targeted for production, they incorporate Genuine HÚMMER Accessories and other aftermarket parts available today, allowing owners and enthusiasts to replicate much the concept vehicles' enhanced capability and performance.

H3 MoabHÚMMER is the ultimate vehicle for the independent spirit, and the H3 Moab is no exception. Inspired by trails like Steel Bender, Moab Rim, and Poison Spyder, the H3 Moab pays homage to one of the world's greatest landscapes and off-road enthusiasts' playground.

Beginning wîth the solid off-road foundation of a 300-horsepower, V8-powered H3 Alpha wîth factory-installed front- and rear- locking differentials, the H3 Moab features a combination of production equipment, available aftermarket components and specialized modifications.

At the heart of the H3 Moab's design is the combination of a Rancho four-inch front suspension lift and a custom rear spring-over conversion inspired by current HÚMMER engineering test vehicles. The suspension modifications are supported by Rancho shocks and sure-footed performance is provided by its 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain KM2 tires mounted on custom 17-inch 2-piece Monster Black Competition Beadlock Raceline Wheels by Allied.

The H3's standard underbody protection has been augmented wîth additional custom shielding and a HÚMMER Genuine Accessory brushguard and rocker protection provide the Canyon Metallic exterior paint wîth defense against the elements. Mounted atop the H3 is a Gobi Ranger roof basket to increase cargo carrying capacity for long overland journeys. The H3 Moab also features HÚMMER Genuine Accessory lower grille mounted lamps and six Delta Xenon roof basket-mounted off-road lamps to provide lighting in all conditions.

Rounding out the exterior enhancements are a Predator Motorsports H3 winch mount system wîth a Warn XD9000 winch and Viking Off-Road synthetic winchline to deliver an integrated recovery solution for any situation encountered on the trail.

Functional additions to the H3 Moab continue into the vehicle's interior wîth the addition of custom all-weather flooring, HÚMMER Genuine Accessory all-weather floor mats and cargo area mat. To aid in trail visibility, front- and rear-facing cameras have been integrated into the vehicle bumpers and display the terrain fore and aft on the navigation radio screen. Integrated into the rear cargo area of the vehicle is a Warn Air-Power SPI, ideal for airing-up tires for the trip home after a long weekend on the trail.

Restoration for Recreation

HÚMMER engineers have used the natural proving grounds surrounding Moab, ÚT since the introduction of HÚMMER vehicles. As such, the brand and its owners have been an ongoing partner of Tread Lightly to promote responsible recreation to ensure open access for future generations. To continue this relationship and in conjunction wîth the introduction of the H3 Moab, HÚMMER will make a donation to Tread Lightly for every photo of HÚMMER vehicles in Moab posted to its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/hummer. These funds will be directed towards projects in Moab under the Tread Lightly Restoration for Recreation grant program.
