Bigunit's Build/Mod Thread

Well, we all have to start somewhere...so I'll start at the very beginning....

Ever since I was a little baby (for those of you who don't know, that was a line from "Basketball Jones" featuring Tyrone Shoelaces and Cheech & Chong)
.....I wanted a HUMMER!

Then, in November 2009 fate &/or destiny brought the Unit (an '09 base model, I5, black metallic w/color-matched grille H3T) & me together. Here's are pics of my rig taken the day I saw & drove it off the lot at Legends Cadillac in Scottsdale, AZ but before I drove it home, I had the dealer remove the chrome hood handles and replace the chrome D-rings with the OEM black D-rings.

Well, that's it for now...but at least I got my build/mod thread started...time to start the mods!

Questions: What are the first mods that I should do to my rig before I take it offroad and what size tires does everyone recommend? Will 35" tires fit or will they rub on the sway bar at full lock?

I think you know the answer to some of those questions hehe

So did you actually document the build then or is this going to be a reverse engineering type thread?

I see 2 tool boxes in the bed. I think I had Cheech and Chong on 8 track.

I'm going out and buying a lottery ticket -- I figured the day Big Unit started a build thread would be the day I win the lottery - the odds were about the same.

Looking forward to it

:agree: :giggle:

This will be a joy to follow, undoubtedly. :cheers:

And im tuned it

Hey Luis, throw some more money at that Hummer so we can watch. I'm getting tired of throwing money at my truck.

Pics of my first two T mods are coming soon! They are just taking a lot more time than I estimated, as they are very technical and complicated mods.
