08SolarFlareH3’s Build, Motivation, and Discussion Thread

[Sennin]

I had a similar issues but mine was with the left rear section of the rear flare. It was boxed wrong and I ended up with two rights but the dealer ordered another. I picked it up Saturday while picking up some parts for Sennin.

On a side note, when I was picking up the pigtails for Sennin (who is located in South Africa), I glanced at the flare box and it said "Made In South Africa". :giggle:

He he, as they say this side: " Local is lekker" :wink:

Are those boggers 10.5s or 12.5's?

They are 10.5's (35x10.50-16 to be exact). They do not make a 12.5" wide in 35's for 16" wheels.

I vote BA if you can find one. A THORparts if you cannot.

I would love a BA, I know someone who has one and I just need to talk him into selling it :wink:. If I can't get him to sell it I will probably end up with a DOI.


Here is the winch I ordered, its the new Warn VR10000-S. It comes with 100ft of 3/8" synthetic line and an aluminium hawse style fairlead. I was initial going to order the VR10000 and add Viking synthetic winch line and hawse fairlead but with the new release of the VR10000-S it was less then $150 more and it would cost me well over twice that to add my own line and fairlead.

I like DOI's keeps the stock look of the truck.:horns:

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

I will probably end up with a DOI mount to keep the factory look, unless someone wants to sell me there Boulder Accessories bumper instead!


*edit,
DOI mount ordered :wink:

Got my Warn VR10000-S winch and DOI winch mount yesterday. Going to pick up some stainless steel (120,000PSI = Grade 5) hardware tonight for mounting the winch and fairlead. Going to assemble them together tomorrow. Also need to pick up some 2GA battery cable as I am going to mount the control pack under the hood and not behind the grille. Pictures tomorrow :wink:

 

[3Hummers]

Coming along nicely.

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

Coming along nicely.

I wish :wink: but at least the parts are here and ready to install. Hopefully come spring the heath issues will be fixed but I got friends and family that would be willing to help with the install if not
