Hello everyone. So Acer4LO and I went wheeling a few times and now I am addicted. I wanted to get a vehicle of my own so we began to search. After looking at all types of vehicles, I decided that I wanted to get an Alpha. Long story short, this is the one I went with:
2008 Hummer H3 Alpha at 164k
W/ Luxury, Tow, Adventure, Monsoon, Tan Interior, & OEM Rear View Camera
Late Model ’08 so it has the Cast Iron 8.6”
Motor and Transmission were both rebuilt at 136k.
Here are some photos that I grabbed on the way home:
The previous owner was definitely a car enthusiast. The 3 was very well maintained and had numerous performance mods.
- 5.3L was boared over to 6.0
- Turned Crank
- LS6 lifters
- Chromoly Push Rods
- Upgraded Rrunion gears
- Stage 2 Cam .553 lift .553 Duration
- ARP Head Studs
- Ported Heads
- LS2 Timing Chain
- LS2 Oil Pump
- LS6 Forged Pistons
- LS6 Springs
- Magnaflow Exhaust
- Deleted Catalytic Converters
- CFS Radiator
- HP Tuners Tuned
Trans:
- Upgraded Sunshield
- Upgraded Sprags
- Corvette Survos
- 3 in Hardened Clutch Packs
- 2200 Stall Converter
More Mods
- Rancho 4inch lift kit w/ 9400 shocks
- 18" Ballistic Hostel Wheels
- Nitto 35" Trail Grapplers
- Pioneer Double Den Sceen
- Front Tint
- Gobi Ladder
- 4 Led Pods (Don’t Work Currently)
- Color matched grille, door handles, and front bumper
- Blacked out
Obviously this 3 looked more like a show truck than an off road rig. So there is some work to be done. I think I want to make this multipurpose type truck where I can take it wheeling for a couple hours at an offroad park but also be able to go over landing for a few days. Anyway, the first thing I had to do was remove the stickers and chain. Then Acer and I went wheeling the next day to test it out.
