Well the HUMMER Club is obviously geard towards HUMMER vehicles and getting HUMMER owners to use their vehicles for its intended majority purpose.

Because of insurance reasons our events are supposed to be limited to HUMMER vehicles only. Our insurance policy covers members of the club from beeing sued or sueing others etc....

Also at our events we have technical support from AM General (Semi truck brings 2 H1's and a trailer that is a mobile shop full of parts and tools) And the a local dealer who brings a parts/tools truck in the same fashon. The spare H1's are typically used to go into the trails to bring in spare parts and mechanics to fix trucks on the trail if the group is not able to self sustain or extract. (Most of the time the AM General H1's do not leave the lot). We are very prepaired to service HUMMER vehicles...So we only market our events to HUMMER owners.

HOWEVER........ We have club members who have kids that have Jeeps, buggies etc... And we allow them to bring those 4x4's as well. And if you just happen to be in the woods at the same time and want to wheel with us we are allways willing to accomodate!

Funny Story
A couple years ago at our Windrock event there was a guy who just happend to be at the same hotel we had our event based out of. He had an old Trooper that was pretty well built. He towed it on a car Hauler with an H2. Naturally we had to give him hell over only using his H2 as the tow rig. He quickly rebuted and said his trooper will go way more places his H2 did. So as the night wore on he got a lil cocky and stated that he would bet a round of drinks for the whole club that his trooper would out wheel any H2 we had at the event. So we invited him to go out with the "Hard" group of H1's and
H2's to put the bet into play.

Needless to say his Trooper (wich was a nice offroader had a ton of upgrades mods etc....) Had to be strapped over the very first obstacle that Stock H2's were able to get over.... Apparently this was actually the theme of the day but the HCI boys stuck with him and did not leave him behind.

His bar bill at the Hotel was pretty hefty that night. lol

So yeah if you just "Happen to be around" when a HCI event is going on and want to join, we always welcome other wheelers. But if you break it....Your kind of well, on your own....

So we try to embrace all wheelers. In fact HCI is very active with supporting/funding Tread Lightly, The Blue Ribbon Coalition, and Friends of the Rubicon amongst other "sport wide" off-road groups
