1996 only VLCO (soft top with metal doors + last year for VLCO & first year for the 2-piece black steelies) |

As it has full doors... If a VLCO then it can only be a 1994 (30 1994 VLCOs were built in this configuration). If a 1996 then it has to be a HMCO (this designation was used for full door open top Hummers from 1995-04). A decent view of the other side would narrow down an ID a bit more. At the moment we default these full door ones as HMCO. I'm not convinced by the two piece wheel info, they look the same as the wheels on Hummers from other years... -- Last edit: 2016-03-09 21:18:21 |

The steel wheels introduced in 99/00 had a larger and more prominent triangle part than the ones seen here. |

Yes, but that doesn't rule out earlier models? This is a 1992-93 model and it has similar looking wheels: /vehicle_47756-Hummer-VLCO-1992.html |

That one has simple steel wheels without the triangle. |

Check again in the first and last thumbnails... There are triangles on the wheels All the black triangle seems to mean is that the Hummer has a Central Tyre Inflation system fitted to almost all Hummers. |

All right, learned something new! |

I have investigated a little more (I got a bit intrigued after I spotted a few 1992s without triangles), seems like CTIS was an optional extra from the start so might not be on as many as I thought. There does seem to be a slightly different design of wheels used from 1996 though it is more difficult to spot than the triangles (only really visible with close/HQ pictures). Will investigate further. |
