Cropped, dropped, and swapped – introducing this seriously modified 1993 Humvee.
This Hummer rat rod is an award winner.
It needs to be seen to be believed.

The 1993 Humvee
Per automotive content creator, Jeff Sutton, the behemoth was built by Micah Wolfe Parsons as a highway cruiser that can reach speeds of 129km/h (80mph) – a considerable improvement on the original.
The ex-Marine has been dropped and its roof was chopped by 14cm (5.5 in).
Its custom wagon-style roof features a rear-side scoop.
It features custom doors and, per its creator, ‘aggressive body lines that have a progressive curved outward appearance’.
Beneath the sheet metal, a chassis from a ’12 Chevy Express 2WD van has been narrowed, shortened, and Z-framed front and rear.

Power turns a set of 20×9 U.S. Wheel Rat Rod rims that have been powder-coated in OD Green.
Step inside, and the dashboard and console have a custom Kicker audio system incorporated into them.
Under the hood is a big block Ford V8 paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a drive wheel modified to a two-wheel drive.

It’s divided opinion

The High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle, HMMWV, or Humvee, is a ‘lightweight, highly mobile, diesel-powered, four-wheel-drive tactical vehicle’ per Military.com.
“It uses a common chassis to carry a wide variety of military hardware ranging from machine guns to tube-launched, optically tracked, wire command-guided (TOW) anti-tank missile launchers.”
Put it one way – you either love it or hate this modification.
Some weren’t fans. Saying: “The idea of the vehicle itself was to get through the toughest terrain in the world. Not with what was done to this one. It’s worth scrap.” Harsh.
While others raved about the creation: “I’d definitely rock this as the Humvee and Hummer H1 is one of my dream cars.”

Judges of the 2023 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Battle of the Builders seemed impressed – it won the Hot Rod/Hot Rod Truck category.
Others simply realized that they’d seen it somewhere before: “She’s from my town and she actually daily drives this thing.”
Up for more hummer hilarity? These guys built a DIY Hummer boat and the results are hilarious.
A slicker take is the H1-Panther, a Hummer that transforms from boat to truck in seconds.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
