Built for the H1 — the civilian Humvee
The Hummer H1 is the only civilian-market vehicle directly derived from a current military platform — the AM General HMMWV (Humvee). 1992–2006 production, with under 12,000 made total. Massive 86.5-inch track width, 16-inch ground clearance, central tire inflation system. Stock 37×12.50 muds. We size to factory and aftermarket fitments.
- H1 Wagon (1992–2006) — 4-door civilian wagon. Stock 37×12.50R16.5 LT or 37×12.50R17 LT (Alpha).
- H1 Open Top (1992–2006) — convertible / hard-top removable variant.
- H1 Slantback (1992–2002) — military-derived sloping rear roof.
- H1 Soft Top (1992–2006) — canvas removable top.
- H1 Alpha (2006) — final year with the 6.6L Duramax LBZ diesel and Allison transmission. Stock 37×12.50R17 LT.
- H1 commercial / contractor variants — rare commercial trims, same stock spare.
H1 owners are some of the most loyal off-road / classic-vehicle enthusiasts. Survival rate is high (the build is over-engineered) but they're now appreciating in collector value.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
H1 came before factory backup cameras. Owners who add one retrofit a wireless camera. Send us camera dimensions.
To add it, select the "with camera hole" option at checkout. We cut the hole during production — no special order, no surcharge, no production delay.

Choose your material
H1 owners are uncompromising. Marine Grade Vinyl is the most-chosen material:
Polyester — $69 (Budget)
Lifespan 2–3 years. Drawstring cord attachment. Skip Polyester for H1 — the trim deserves better.
PVC — $99 (Waterproof)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. Acceptable for daily H1 drivers.
PU Leather — $129 (Premium look)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. Premium grain that suits clean H1 Alpha builds.
Marine Grade Vinyl — $169 (Heavy duty, printed and sewn in Florida)
Lifespan 5+ years. Drawstring cord attachment. What we recommend for H1. UV stable, Florida-printed, 5+ years.
Marine Grade Vinyl Lux — $199 (Top spec, printed and sewn in Florida)
Same Marine Grade Vinyl spec plus integrated anti-theft lock — exclusive to Marine Grade Vinyl Lux only. Marine plus anti-theft lock. Worth it on rare H1 Alpha and collector builds.

Cleaning note: Pressure washing is not recommended for any Wheel Shell cover, regardless of material. Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Pressure washing can damage the printed surface and shorten cover lifespan.
Color matching note: Matte PU Leather and Marine Grade Vinyl reproduce factory matte black most accurately. Glossy PVC and Polyester read as deep charcoal under direct sun. For OEM paint-match, send your paint code at checkout — we calibrate the print and send a proof before production.
Color matching: H1 Olive Drab, Sandstone Beige, Glacier Blue, the rare Orange Alpha trim — all in our reference library. Send the code or photo.
How the cover attaches to your H1's spare
H1 carries the spare on the rear-mounted carrier. Soft cover wraps the 37-inch tire:
- Elastic band (PU Leather, PVC): Stretches over the tire and grips behind the tread for a snug, factory-style fit.
- Drawstring cord (Polyester, Marine Grade Vinyl, Marine Grade Vinyl Lux): Wraps over the tire and tightens with a drawcord. Adjustable for any spare diameter.
Aftermarket carriers (HMMWV-spec) don't change cover fitment.
