Proving — or at least attempting to prove — the H2, H2 SUT and H3 aren't just suburban soft-roading sissy-mobiles. Jalopnik superfriend, Mike Levine of Pickuptrucks.com, was embedded with Team Hummer, documenting every step along the way. Starting with a stock H2 SUT, the crew painstakingly prepared the truck to compete in the, err... Stock Full-Size Truck Class. OK, so that's actually more work than it may sound. "Stock" may have been bastardized as a term by Nascar, but on the craggy Baja trails it actually still means something. Mike got to ride along for the race, and as you can see above, we've got some footage of the beast in action to prove it. And by beast, we meant the H2 SUT. Check out the crazy Mexican adventure in it's entirety over at Pickuptrucks.com.

There's no doubt that there are few better sources of Truck-related news on the web than PickupTrucks.com, and there are also few automotive websites that spend as much on television advertising as Cars.com, meaning that the combination of the two is a match made in heaven. Fear not as Mike Levine, the site's editor and longtime Jalopnik super friend, is going to maintain editorial control of the site until Rabbi Dave of Kicking Tires stages a bloody coup later this summer... but perhaps we've said too much. A press release officially announcing the deal will probably drop tomorrow.
