So I bought my H3 about a year ago. After looking at multiple other H3s I finally settled on my 08 base. This is my first car, worked for 3 summers day and night, and even bought and flipped a jeep [emoji23] to make enough so I could buy my dream truck. A lot of kids growing up want lamborghinis and ferraris but I always wanted a truck with big tires! A few years back my dad found a H3T he wanted to buy out in Texas, so we flew from NJ out to Texas, picked it up, and drove it back. Ever since then I knew I wanted to get my own 3. so 4 months before getting my license at 17, I brought home my black h3, and my build started the next day
it came with a different grill because the previous owner I guess hit something in his driveway and broke a couple clips holding one of the blinkers
so I plastidipped everything (grill, emblems, you name it) and swapped out my rims and tires for 20x8.5 rockstars and 33" nitto terras off of my dads T. while I had those rims/tires I didn't do much with my truck other than fixing loose heat shields and shocks which were making tons of noise, doing a muffler delete, and tinting my windows over and over trying to perfect it.
I threw on some spacers and that lasted 3 days before I got pulled over for "tires being too wide" so I went back to the oems which recently had new 33" Toyo at2 extremes and cranked the t bars the same day I put those on
my dad sold his T a few weeks after we swapped our wheels back and got a new f-150
Bigger things: recently I got a 50" curved and swapped fog lights for cube spot light LEDs, and 4ft CB antenna just for show
just bedlined the grill and wheel wells
stripped the plastidip off the rims with plans of painting them gloss black permanently (but I am really liking the silver look right now) and just threw in all new door speakers
I can't wait to be able to wheel when I am at school, the Jersey Shore is very very limited with tons of jeeps around aka mall crawling
upcoming plans
new headunit and 2 12"s (done)
new driver and passenger tint (done)
roof rack (done)
hids in reflectors (done)
future plans
hids in projectors
extended rear shackles (done)
matching spare
bedlined fenders (done)
35s (done)
Rock sliders (done)
rancho
on board air/train horn
Underbody protection
possibly a new bumper (did bumper mod)
