No, but I have been down the Canning and I reckon the width of the wheelbase would make it slow going due to the "normal" wheel tracks. It just means you will be pushing through loose sand on one side of the track.

No reason not to do it though, the top end has trees right up to the edge of the track so you will end up with a few scratches.

The H2 is just a chev truck with a Hummer look alike body on it. Most of the drivetrain etc is from a Chevy Tahoe from memory.
Yes it is very similar in size to a 100 series so should have no probs but will accumulate some pinstriping.
My Humvee (civilian version is called Hummer or H1) is 200mm wider than a 100 series.
In sand I've compared the tracks and I'm running the full 200mm wider on the actual tyre track as the tyres are right at the extremities.
I'd reckon that fuel will be the biggest prob as it will use a bit, at least as much as a petrol (carby) GQ.
Just checked the specs, overall width of a H2 minus mirrors is 2.062m and track is a tad under 1800mm which would be very similar to a GU or 100 series.

Looks like this. Apparently popular in the US

H2 Hummer -- probably the best marketing ploy ever thought up by General Motors - take one of the worst 4WD's chassis available and put an ugly square box with half size windows on top of it with the aerodinamics of a brick outhouse.

Anyone one who would take one down the Canning with need a support team of Togos or MQ's to tow in their fuel supplies for the hourly fillup.

Jeff, As some one who peviously worked for the Melbourne agent for Hummer I drove the v8 diesel on many occasions.
The fuel economy was woefull,and the tank much to small.
Driving to Albury for a trade show we could not make on a full tank ex Melbourne.
In the High country the wheel base meant that one wheel was in the ruts and one out,this meant your were driving at a severe angle most of the time.
Often squeezing between trees was a problem also.
The dealership sold 6 machines before opting out, and the warranty returns were very regular,one returned over 20 times for repairs.
However in fairness most of the problems were with the right hand conversion done in W.A.
They are fun to drive,I liked it when you stopped at the lights and the body just rocked on those massive coil springs.
The diesel performance is similar to a GQ Nissan Diesel in standard form,not bad considering its weight.
Very little usable room in the cabin though for its size.
As for the Canning,Okas do it so you should be Ok but another correspondant is correct about the srub at the edge of the road,lets just say I would not mind following you to protect my paintwork.
