The Fast Lane Truck lol that's off road?

[@marco74austin62]

Drama queen's! !!

[@gerrylee4141]

The Fast Lane Truck i will-put my 2015 rubicon against your hummer h2

[@duncanpaisley5290]

That really wasn't a fair comparison. You should have had those tires swapped out and went right back up there on the same day under the same conditions. At the very least the very next day.

[@robh8079]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@GusgusA1]

For sure

[@trevormangus7832]

Ditto

[@Monarch15w]

Was thinking the same thing

[@wildman8250]

Pointless test

[@Hunter28Swag]

Love to see the HUMMER brand still getting some love. Keep the H2 content coming!!

[@RealWorldCarReviews]

Another excellent video guys. Absolutely LOVE the H2. The TFL channels are among my favourites, and I'm subscribed to around 72 channels! Keep pumping out that great content!

[@Tully3674]

Nathan & Andre have a strange chemistry. It's like Abbot & Costello meets Penn & Teller...and somehow it works!

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

I must say, it's rather dismaying to see so many people in the comments getting pissy about them asking for donations. Y'all come here to watch the videos, and either be entertained or learn something, like the videos and leave comments, but then when they ask you to show a tiny bit of tangible support, people get up on their high horses and preach about the sin of crowdfunding and how by asking for a little help, TFL is "trying to suck every penny from us." Come on people. Grow up and get over yourselves. I'm one of their Patrons, and I give them an amount several times their highest tier. Why? Because I enjoy the content they produce, I believe in the people who produce it, and I believe that people who have something worth creating deserve the chance and the ability to create it. It takes money to make things happen. The hell's so bad about giving them some so they can keep making good content, which, after all, is why we're all here in the first place?

[@jeffkneifl169]

MultiPurposeReviewer to advocate for those who are complaining, there are ads at the beginning of the video. There are ads throughout the video. There are product promoting portions for sponsors like dollar shave club unboxing. Where does it end? We are constantly inundated with ads. I can't imagine what running a 3 person team KZbin channel costs where I would guess all 3 are pulling their primary income from, but there's a lot of ads in the viewers face and its apparently not enough.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

Yes, we are inundated with ads. And how many of us actually watch the whole ad, or click on the popup link? Probably close to zero. Did you know that they only get the money if a viewer watches the whole ad or clicks the link? Given how few people do that (except when it's impossible), is it any surprise that they need Patrons?

[@ronaldspins]

@16:15 "We don't do goats" Every channel has a weakness we just discovered yours!! This channel has it all and is well worth supporting.

[@regsparkes6507]

Perfect,...almost, but really good and entertaining as heck. Thanks to everybody at TFL.

[@cute_smol_kat]

I want more Nathan and Andre, you guys are the best duo.

[@kingpin3919]

Became a patreon member yesterday. You guys definitely deserve it. Come on people pony up for the best auto channel out there!

[@bradanderson1065]

Great video and I like seeing all builds. I'm local and have done these trails so I enjoy watching

[@blacksharkswimmer3729]

Love the channel. Always raw. No sugar coat.

[@michaelking1869]

I used to send donations to 1320 video years ago when they had it because they were so new that there wasn't a lot of money in it yet. I liked it so I had no problem kicking some money their way. For the shows you like on KZbin you should also be letting the commercials run. They don't take long and from what I understand help bring money their way.

[@macbookpro57]

Just got KO2’s on my truck and love them. Can’t wait to take them off road 👍🏻

[@anthonydeshong5730]

From the NYC AREA love you guys, keep up the great work....😀😊

[@islandboii6706]

I appreciate y'all💯. Please don't stop doing truck tests I and alot of people adore TFL 💪🏼😎💯💯

[@scottb8907]

Leave it up to TFL to use two different drivers, on two different days, with two different conditions to compare a before and after..... jfc.

[@DIZEMANPHOTO]

If you get 10 miles per gallon, you have something wrong with your truck. I have owned my 2007 Hummer H2 for 10 years and once a year I drive it from my home in Las Vegas to the Atlantic Ocean and back. Often I take I-10 in the south, but now and then I take I-40 in the north. On I-10, I AVERAGE 19.1 miles per gallon, driving at 70 mph, which is the SWEET SPOT on my truck. I have tested it an on the freeway, 70 mph seems to be that speed in which inertia is overcome, the truck is no longer dragging 6500 pounds around, but just maintaining the speed. I use the cruise control at 70 mph to get 19.1 mpg. BELOW is a video of my wife and I driving from Phoenix, AZ to the Chiricahua Apache Rez just outside of Globe, AZ. I was getting 17.3 mph AVERAGE, of course going up hills causes the mileage to dip, just like any other truck. Around town I virtually always get 16 mpg, on a bad day, lots of starting and stopping I can get as low as 14.9 mpg. My truck is maintained on a regular schedule. I have the transmission fluid flushed every two years, just to make sure I keep the tranny cool, always runs about 100 degrees, uphill 150 degrees. So, I don't know where or why Hummer H2 owners are getting 10 mpg and LESS from what I hear and why MY TRUCK does better than I ever expected and I drive it A LOT. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCvcn-bqKeiopY --- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGe5n5-YlJx5f5I --- kzbin.info/www/bejne/i37IZ62YjNpoobM --- dizeman.myportfolio.com/ ------------------- This Hummer H2 is my 54th car and has probably cost me less to own than most of those vehicles. The only issues I have had are the electric window regulators... I have replaced TWO, driver front and pass rear. Changing out the window regulator has to be easier on a Hummer than any vehicle on the market, a 15 minute job, no cursing or throwing wrenches. I do not possess a FANatic Gene, I don't own Hummer T-shirts and it is NOT MY BABY, just a truck, but it has been good to me, never left me alongside the road and has always started when I turn the key. I do go off road and I take it easy, even when climbing the side of a mountain and it always brings me home. Is the tie rod weak? YEP! But so far, I have not broken one... my truck is entirely stock, except for extra roof racks and kevlar tires. I have NEVER, NEVER ONCE in 10 YEARS, EVER SEEN A 10 mpg reading on my fuel computer. NOT ONCE! Hell, I have never seen 11.9 as shown in the video. I will say, when I had the 90,000 mile turn up, where they do a complete tune up and belt change etc. The day before the tune up, 19 mpg on the freeway. 16 mpg in and around Vegas. The day AFTER the 90k tune up, my highest mileage is 16.9 on the freeway and 12.5 in the city. I don't know what they did during that tuneup, but I wish they had not done it. The truck was running GREAT, before the tuneup and now, it still runs good for a 6500 pound truck, but not as good as it did before the tuneup. (Dealer tuneup.) My two cents worth, I know someone can't wait to throw change back at me.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I would just clean the filter again reoil and let the filter sit for a day or two. I keep a paper filter handy during this time to avoid down time.

[@j.martinez111]

Great video guys, I like my H2 learning ALOT from you guys

[@jabroni6199]

That was more of a Snow vs shallow mud comparison than a tire comparison.

[@LeshVAuto]

I recently changed my K/Os to the K/O2 on my H2. Its isn't bad at all. I was impressed by the longevity on the K/Os. I did a normal drive on the highway and video is on my channel on them. Traction is lot better than I thought when I drove in the rain and braking has improved.

[@tclg1]

Why did you guys stop with the Hummer? Anything happened to the vehicle?

[@MyKawasaki2011]

I've got k02s on my h3 and h2 great on road performance. Can't wait for more vids great content👍also those steps are easy to shear off and very rare.

[@kermiirani3809]

The Hummer just looks intimidating

[@blacksharkswimmer3729]

Kermi Irani I'll put my 03 JGC 4x4 against hummer any day

[@hungryhungryhummer]

Black shark swimmer yeah it depends how you have your Cherokee set up. Just keep in mind the h2 comes with factory center/rear lockers and 35s STOCK. This h2 is pretty much stock. And the h2 is way better on road and comfort wise as well. Don’t get my wrong. I love the XJ but the h2 is the right vehicle for me.

[@cricry]

H1 is more intimidating

[@savetriceratops9484]

Should get a 2008 or newer H3 with off-road package to review. These are really great off-roaders ! I think later years had 4.56 gear versus 4.10. Front/rear lockers and 4:1 low range transfer case and of course Alpha had V8 5.3L. 300hp/320torque. Only down side to H3 are window design, more form over function for visibility.

[@gerrylee4141]

Rubicon all the way plus they dont have a budget for that they cant even keep they’re youtube channel going without donations

[@gerrylee4141]

Hey just an idea donate yours to them lol they would be so happy Hahahaha go get em boi

[@catfish242]

You guys are why I bought my 2005 h2

[@michaeldierks3708]

You probably should have tried to clean the MAF first. They make a special cleaner for it. Might’ve saved you some money.

[@akatrauma9686]

I am suggesting the same thing. It worked for me, a $7 can of cleaner and I have the exact same MAF as the H2. I now have 174k on the original MAF.

[@brandonm6117]

Noah Dahl Most of the time cleaning the MAF is all you need. Unless its physically broken. There expensive to buy so always try to clean it first

[@sugonmaballs]

Exactly what I was about to post as well. It's too easy to clean; just spray the cleaner on it generously and let it dry out for a few mins.

[@sonictech1000]

Agreed. It doesn't take much grime to make them act up but they rarely break.

[@mcfero1]

These guys know nothing about cars. That’s why they didn’t get the cheap mass air flow cleaner first

[@Luscious3174]

Very nice job getting the bugs fixed. Love the new rubber. Two thumbs up for you guys!!!

[@bobbynjoy]

Keep up the good work guys. Just became the half ton patreon. Good luck. Thank you.

[@djisar]

Thanks for the videos!

[@Jupiterider1]

Personally, I would never own an H2. All the negative stereotypes ring true. I also think the H2 doesn’t make a good overland vehicle. It’s too big, too heavy, and too thirsty for any serious,lengthy off road adventures. However, I also believe it could be a pretty good light off road vehicle for the occasional day or weekend trip. Let’s see how far you guys can go with it, enjoy it for awhile and then just sell it to help finance your next project vehicle. While in the subject of project vehicles. Please, please, please do one or maybe two projects at a time and complete them. I think your viewers and readers would appreciate seeing a completed project for a change. I really enjoy your videos and your website. I just became a Patreon supporter. Keep up the good work!

[@philtripe]

maybe some of the local viewers could help out by donating trail maintenance after mud season is done...overuse can lead to trail erosion that can only be fixed with heavy equipment. but for now shovels, picks, wheelbarrows can be used by a dozen people and have that area back to where it was a few years ago...digging culverts to divert water is important

[@trailrunnah8886]

Looks good with the new rubber! Those wheels though, not so much. I know you guys got stuck with them as that's how it was when you bought it, but it's a shame it didn't come with the stockers as well. I was disappointed that you didn't get back to the hill on the same day, obviously it was a lot snowier on the first try, with the AT's. I was curious as to who the MT's would perform in those conditions, I had a little bet going with myself that they'd be no better, if not a little WORSE, as MT's tend to have worse traction on packed snow and ice. Anyway, great video either way, and I look forward to seeing more videos on this truck as the overland project continues.

[@TylerCohn1996]

when are y’all going to take a JL up there?

[@ffhjvbuydb78eb]

How many miles do you guys have on that hummer? Did you even have the lockers on?

[@killintimeracing1368]

I hope you guys can keep it up you are by far my favorite Channel of any kind.

[@bicimotoworld4115]

why wear a seatbelt while driving up GoldMine Hill?? lol Anyway, awesome Video, as always. TFL Truck is the best channel!!

[@micaguidry1389]

I need help. I have a hummer h2 sut. I took it to get a mobile radio installed and we ran into a huge problem. There wasn't a place to put the antenna. Do you have any suggestions

[@hungryhungryhummer]

Im sorry but these tires are too different for the conditions you drove in to compare The KOs on the h2 much like the KO2s are significantly better in snowy/icy conditions than the mud terrains. But the mud terrains will do much better in the dirt and mud.

[@reednolantexas]

Hummers are great trucks.

[@luisbarraza9709]

Great catch Roman, I thought you were going down hard 😜

[@dond7908]

most airflow sensors can be sprayed with brake cleaner to clean the oil off FYI

[@tylerrosekrans8594]

What wheels are you guys using there?

[@GusgusA1]

For snow I love the at’s for mud mt’s grew up with bfg. 👍 Alberta oilfield roads duratrac is nice all around

[@florent9002]

The tekonsha kit ables an automatic brake control? So good. Didn't know it could be added so easily to a vehicle.

[@rockingarchangel]

Get a can of crc mass air flow clearner

[@rubenbrionez2329]

where do i buy one of the hats and some merch?

[@rrad3926]

What a bum comparison. The trail was pretty different between the two days. Would have been nice to have seen similar trail conditions or do it on the same day. However, I would expect significant gains given the new compounds.

[@cobrasvt347]

Can't tell you how many tie rods I've replaced on the h2 due to them bending or breaking while doing extremely mild wheeling. Ya definitely want to upgrade them the whole suspension under the front of the h2 is too weak for that heavy of a truck.

[@hersheljones9467]

What code did u get multiple missfires n how did u figure out it was the mass air flow sensor

[@bellwetherdental6070]

Just bought some new KO2's for my 06 H2 and they look absolutely amazing compared to the stock KO's. Just a beefy looking tire with tread blocks on the sidewall. Ride is much softer now too. Who woulda known tires could make such a difference??

[@janpur1417]

The oil type air filters are basically good for no vehicle. Those have wider pore size so more air will flow with dirt. A freshly applied oil can reduce the pore size but after few minutes the oil will sucked into the engine and bringing back bigger pores to suck dirt into the engine. I have 3 Toyota vehicles (4R, Cruiser and a car) and all uses OEM filters. Even after 16K miles, the intake air hose and the air box after the filter is literally dust fee. About the BFG tires. Their A/T tires are good until the threads are covered in mud. The New ones you put on got bigger drain channels and mostly those will stay clear to dissipate water or mud to gain traction. I am no expert in tires but just by looking at the threads I can feel how good the thread will perform in wet and mud conditions.

[@savedbydave]

Any update on Cliffhanger 3.0 and will Frank tackle it?

[@TFLtruck]

It’s still snowed in. We will make an update in a month or two.

[@chrisdavis1151]

I love your channel, hope your channel has a long lasting career!

[@cmusic52]

And I swear the manual said the message on the brake controller was cause it was idle, aka didn't have a trailer connected

[@mikaelrosendal6408]

did you not try to just clean the Mass air flow metter?

[@gerrylee4141]

Mikael Rosendal no they-need to rebuild-the fleet of theirs either donate the part to them or cash stop worring about how they spend they’re money if they want new give it-to them They need donations so they can keep making biased videos

[@psfphotography]

I am pretty sure that Motor Trend is still on KZbin, plus I just saw and add on Facebook for Dirt Every Day

[@mildtowildrc7343]

Man you guys have the same color H2 I have and Love mine❤️Had for over 10 yrs and 237k and never let me down🇺🇸💪About to do my 250k maintenance and looking for another 10yrs of love as well as some new goodies going on it❤️💪

[@lp6wo]

Should have tried to cleaning the mass airflow sensor before replacing. A lot of times on those you can spray them down with mass air flow sensor cleaner. Worked on my 5.3 Vortec, check engine light cleared, and was a lot cheaper than a new sensor. Its been fine for a couple years now.

[@marcusg9954]

Roman you guys need Nitto Mud grapplers or Toyo open country MT 2’s

[@googleuser1456]

Will Connor Why are you going to donate? They got those for free

[@marcusg9954]

Detecting is Therapy nope. A suggestion. Take your attitude else where.

[@gerrylee4141]

Will Connor that detecting feller is snotty like roman aint he for some one wanting donations they dont like ridiculed kinda testy

[@jedironin380]

Those DS tuners are great! :) New tires have many tractions! ROFL

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

you guys should get a truck parts co sponsor and post links to their websites. i buy parts here and there for my trucks all the time, maintenance/upgrades. try to get a sponsor that when you purchase parts using a link you have provided you get a percentage of the purchase. most of us buy parts on a monthly to bi monthly bases. I have seen this work for other youtube channels.

[@benjamingriffith4183]

Those are the mud terrains with Kevlar? If so had those on my z-71. The setup you have with those tiers, locking diff, and of course the LS 6.0 L almost unstoppable! only question, why didn't you put bigger tires? Looks like you could have fit couple inches bigger? Especially if you replacing the suspension with something more off road like? Can't wait to see it kill dare, love the vids thanks guys keep it up!

[@gerrylee4141]

Benjamin Griffith they were free duh as roman told others

[@ussenterprise5364]

RUSH! Great taste ,in music!

[@bm9074]

Very nice fellas very nice

[@TCEPSD]

Damn I wish I could’ve seen it tackle that same snow trail that Nathan couldn’t get up with the all terrains

[@icandoit20]

Strange that Roman went back instead of Nathan and Andre.

[@cmusic52]

What I wonder is did Nathan have everything locked when he did the first run up the hill, or was the biggest difference the lack of snow

[@johnmorgan1629]

Barnsley Tire Co. Did I hear that right, watching in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, UK.

[@richardhernandez9598]

crusing Hollywood blvd with 22s lmao dude, i love this truck ever since i was a kid i want one sooo bad!! But the milage is getting higher on this used trucks and i dont know crap about maintenance lol but i would love to drive one around LA there aren't that many left because of the gas prices lol

[@jockosboy17]

I have the P3 in my F150 and its great!!

[@mperdue73]

My sons truck did the same thing when he cleaned the K&N filtet. You can just clean it with a can of MAF Cleaner. A lot cheaper than a new Sensor.

[@The_Osprey]

They make a Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner. It's a very specific chemical that will clean everything up and dry without leaving a residue. It costs about $9.

[@psfphotography]

You might want to check out videos on Telegraph Road (I think that is the name) in Australia - amazing what there rigs go through

[@kosfactor]

The authorized service center for our vehicle cleans MAS every time it goes for routine service using gasoline., Probably because the stock air filter has oil in between the layers of foam. It's a good idea to clean then regularly.

[@travisnoland7672]

What IS THE YEAR MODEL H2 ???

[@matthewschoenemann5021]

Did anyone else notice that at the end Roman didn't say ciao like he usually does?

[@dchawk81]

CRC makes MAF sensor cleaner specifically for this. It's rare to actually need a new sensor.

[@rickysafer2895]

Really enjoyed this video,tell Roman you guys need a bigger garage door opening.

[@TFLtruck]

Yes indeed we do

[@dchawk81]

Yeah man knock that wall down so you can get an H1.

[@BGCE69]

Motor Trend just posted 2 days ago...?

[@BullittKid08]

Sometimes my prodigy gives a "no brakes detected" message if i plug it in after the ignition has already been turned to on. Plug in the unit with the truck key turned to off next time see if that changes anything (unless your issue is the witing itself)

[@adequatejtm7371]

Is it just me or is it a different day and less snow with the new tires? How can we compare then?

[@texpatriot8462]

Why no winch on it?

[@scoobydoo885]

thanks

[@Tysonbarkes]

Wanna see more Ford's

[@harvbegal6868]

Can't wait to see the overlanding show.

[@jackhawk8952]

Love my h2... 37x13.5 is the best size tire for the h2.. you will need to re gear to tow heavy loads mine is a tow vehicle for our travel trailer and have been full time for couple years now... can tow almost anywhere even through sand...

[@MrMister1227]

First time I'mma donate to a youtube page definitely genuine content worth the money

[@vheypreexa]

The KM2s will get louder as you break them in. But they're still not as loud as the old school mud tires of the past.

[@PigMine6]

The mass air sensor can be cleaned and restored to like new with Isopropyl alcohol and a soft toothbrush, air dry and reinstall, save a lot of money and time!

[@buddyrebel_Garcia]

Hey Guys, do a Hummer H2 electrical fan swap. The fan belt driven belt sucks. It would be cool if you do a Conversion.

[@The_Osprey]

You should get BlueDriver App to sponsor you. They give you real time data in addition to trouble codes and suggested repairs.

[@TFLtruck]

We did and they sent us a blue driver and a coffee mug. We’ll give you the coffee mug is you support us😉

[@YTSTK89]

Would love to see you take a jeep commander hemi up there

[@amarsahinovic1347]

Hummer is so bloody wide and big overall it hardly fits in your garage good video btw

[@ffhjvbuydb78eb]

Amar Gaming Fits in my garage just fine

[@parkerbollinger7279]

Amar Gaming It's narrower than a raptor LOL. Hummers are excellent Vehicles Offroad

[@DudeThat251]

I thought they were going to swap tires and go back up same day, not really a comparison

[@RoverRacer913]

Will support you guys 👍

[@TFLtruck]

Thank you.

[@mcevanjr]

The mirrors on the Hummer should be powerfolding!!! Don’t pull them in you’ll strip the gears, just go to the mirror control, make sure the mirror selector is in the middle, press down on the square in the middle to adjust the mirror, and push to the right, and to unfold them press the middle down again and push to the left. If you can’t fold them in with that, than the button is on the dash near the headlight control.

[@setiawan7707]

Hi i am from Indonesia n i want become a patron but i don have a credit card or a PayPal account, is there another way to pay in a patron. Thanks..

[@brianwolf692009]

Now try doing it with snow
