Bishops H3 Build

[JonBishop]

since everyone has one going ill go ahead and make one i guess
well i bought my H3 September 9th, 2008, Luxuary package with 25k miles, and lots of chrome
scary, i know.... and stayed jus like that, ill bout, 2011.
so the first step to making my H3 look good was a new set of rubbers. Bought 4 BFG All-Terrains 35"
next was the intake, so ordered a K&N and slapped it in
next was my black out process... grill was first and fuel cover
next was hood louver handles and skid plate next on was a pair of Tsnami Battery terminals then i seen a thread about the wonderful world of plasti dip, so i dipped everything i could.. finally got to switch out the shocks, bilstein 5100s all corners
survival axe thread gave me the insight of having a good axe, so went an got a SOG for xmas, decided to upgrade the entertainment, got a BOSS touch screen headunit and back up camera
the lights needed a upgrade as well, headlight and foglights, 35w 8000k HIDs, with a led strip on each side then the last thing ive done is 4 Hella rallye lights all converted, HID 55w 8000k alot more to come, A-LOT!

Great start.

My hood louver handles look kinda like your old roof rack handles. Wondered why I hadn't seen more that look like mine

 

[JonBishop]

got a killer deal on a Rigid Industries "40 E-Series(Amber Color) LED light bar from a co worker, tried putting it on today but the mounts i made need adjusting so itll be completely installed this weekend

this is where itll be mounted


and heres all 80 LED bulbs going havent gotten a night shot yet, cant wait to tho!!!

 

[alrock]

How are you mounting it?

 

[Zach]

Guess we need a night run show you can show us the way

 

[JonBishop]

Gonna mount it straight to the roof, thinking of moving the headliner and nut bolt washer it down, jus can't wait to finally get it mounted on and going, feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning haha

 

[JonBishop]

Got it mounting finally, was easy install, love the wiring on these, so easy

Mounted it to the dome light bar

Loving the amber color, hesitant at first but love it now

Then the inside the cockpit view

Very nice 40"!!!! Is it true the amber lights work better in the dust?

 

[JonBishop]

Haven't tried it much is dust but super bright none the less, wish I had a roof rack to mount it to that tho, that's in the near future

I know the feeling but I mounted my lights on the SMA light bars and they really came out great. You have a sweet set up!!! Now that you have the 40" up front you ganna want to light up the rear end and then the sides like me lol.

 

[JonBishop]

I'm already thinking of where to put a back light!!! You have a sweet set up, I really need a roof rack on my 3

 

[JonBishop]

Went out for a little drive in the mountains an took some pics

The one hella not on was going on and off so somewhere the wiring isn't connecting right...

Then I found a rock to park on

 

[RamRod]

haha very cool!

I have always said there can never be too much light mounted to a truck!

Well, from my experience, yes it's true. I use 2 lightforce 240 blitz with amber lenses when I go out to jawbone canyon and California city at night. The wind blows out in this desert 50mph+ most of the time and the dust is like a fog. When I hit the lights, I can see a lot clearer. It gets really bad out here at times, the paved roads have sand all over them like sand dunes.

[High Five H2]

that's awesome. my brother was giving me a hard time for putting some off road lights on mine, and i told him that if you're going to go off roading you need as many lights as possible - all over the front, on the side, it didn't matter! lights everywhere! your picture reminded me of that.

 

[Kyle]

i kno!!! ive been wanting to make a trip up there hopefully soon!!!!

just go for it sometime! just hit me or 06H3 up and we can plan a meet. theres a car show every friday night that i want to start bringing the hummer too! you should bring yours so we can all have h3s show up!

 

[WillieMo]

[WillieMo]

[JonBishop]
