Hummer H1 Parts
Retired in 2006, the Hummer H1 plays a part in history as being the first-ever commercially available, military-styled vehicle. Due in no small part to the widely publicized success of American Motors' High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (or Humvee) in Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s, the company created a civilian version of the heavy-duty armored vehicle. The first Hummer was available to the auto buying public in 1992, and the rights to the vehicle were sold to General Motors soon after. In 1994 the huge SUV underwent an overhaul and was renamed the H1. In its earlier years, the vehicle was a status symbol. Driven primarily by celebrities and other wealthy individuals, the 3.5-ton vehicles were gas-guzzling road hogs made on the same assembly line as their military inspiration. Comfort took a backseat to excitement as the thrill of being able to climb a two-foot slope and ford 30 inches of water took hold. The H1 afforded off-road enthusiasts a way to take their adventures further off road than ever before. Buying Hummer H1 Aftermarket Replacement PartsThe unusual features that make the massive vehicle an off-road monster are unique to this Hummer. While the later-generation H2s and H3s have body frames more like large-size SUVs and pickup trucks, the H1 has more in common with the military Humvee, making repairs costly. AutoParts123 offers a wide variety of aftermarket replacement and performance parts for the Hummer. The online store carries accessory components and replacement items at affordable prices.
