What is that, a perforated hole saw flash suppressor??
Have you weighed that rig? Just wondered what it ended up after your mods. Maybe you posted that way back and I missed it?
Just saw a bumper sticker on a cowgirls pickup. "Tears are not the only weapons women have"
Don't mess with an Arky Cowgirl!!

It's a stand off breaching choke. It's for blowing up door hinges and locks.
Haven't had a chance to weigh it yet. I really want to though.

I've had a ton of inquiries on the seat covers, so here is the link to their page:

The options and colors are endless.

Not any time soon unfortunately. I've had to put it off in the back burner for now. Have more important priorities. Both personal and Hummer related. The local fabricator moved to Charlotte (3 hour drive). Will have to organize something else.

ABS Sensors
Is it possible to post a shot of your ABS sensor mounting locations on your Dynatrac axles? Did you run stock OEM H3 sensors? I am getting ready to put axles under my H3 alpha. I am going to run a AAM rear axle from a 2003 2500 GMC in the rear and Dana 60 front axle from an 86 Chevy 1 ton for the front. I have been looking at the tone ring install from Dlux Fab seems to be what the guys are running on newer body style SAS on CHEVY and GMC trucks. Also you mentioned you figured out how to get the rear locker to not throw codes anymore. Can i get more info on that also? How are those 5.38 gears with 40" tires? Thanks

I'm away from my truck for some time so I can't take pics. There are some pics in my build that you can look through in the mean time. The gears are perfect for the 40s. Speedo is spot on right now.
The rear OEM factory locker delete is simple. Find the wire that plugs into the factory locker, and just bridge the two cables. You can do it three ways. 1. Put a piece of wire from one pin to the other. 2. Cut and wrap or solder two cables together. 3. Get one of those cable taps that stereo stores use to connect to factory harness. That bridges both cables together.

Forgot to answer one of your questions. The factory tone rings and sensors were used on the axles.

Slowly but surely, I'm finding some time to do small pending projects here and there. I had a couple of gigs cancelled so I took advantage to tackle the MFC carrier. I drilled and tapped the holes for both the license plate and the LED plate light. Used my old Cali plates to align everything. Wired the plate light and added the same plug I have on the spare tire license plate light. So now it's just unplug and unbolt spare tire carrier, and plug and bolt on the MFC carrier.
One down..... I don't know how many to go. Will probably tackle the hood vent conversion next. Ex Umbris Venimus

Thanks. Hope to have some spare time to give my truck some much needed TLC.

Rear ABS rings...
The factory H3 rear ABS rings are inside the 10-bolt axle tubes. The rings come from GM with a rubber-like liner bonded to the I.D. and some nasty black glue. They are designed to get tight at the correct position as you slide them down the tapered axle shaft...approx. 6" from the flange. Depending on your new axle shaft diameter, you might have to put the rings in a lathe and turn some of the rubber liner off the I.D. to fit the larger diameter. Also if they are not tapered, you might have to add a set-screw or come up with a way to keep them from sliding back & forth on the shafts. You got about a 1-1/2" width to work with, and as long as the sensor tip is anywhere along that length you should be good. You'll have to drill the axle tubes and install the sensors...somewhat like the 10-bolt comes with. The only change to this I would recommend is locating the hole on top of the tube, instead of the rear (so it doesn't leak as easy).
Front ABS rings...
The factory H3 front ABS rings are sealed inside the unit-bearings. Apparently Recon found a way to re-use them but, I could not. Instead I used some from another GM application and they work fine. They are external rings and must be mounted to your hubs. I've done a bunch of Dana 44 hubs and I'm sure the Dana 60 is not much different. The front sensors must be mounted to your caliper brackets so the tip can properly read the teeth.
Instead of re-inventing the whole enchalada...focus on relocating all the stock stuff. I've been driving mine for over a year now, and the computer has no idea I'm running a 30-year old solid axle. The electronic stuff works perfectly, and I have zero code issues. It works so well that I actually made a bunch of them. I currently have a pile of H3 SAS Dana 44 hubs ready to go. They come with caliper brackets that adapt the 4-piston Hummer brakes, rotors, and ABS system to the 70's era Dana 44 axle. They also have the factory bolt-pattern, and metric lug-studs so you can use all of your existing wheels, lugs, etc. and just move them over to the Dana axle. I sell these hub swap kits for $399. Obviously, these won't work on the D60 but, I'm sure you could do something similar...
I got nuthin on the rear locker code...mine came with a locker and I've never had an issue with it. I added a front E-locker, and its wired direct (not interlocked with the rear like 2009-up models). Like the rear locker...I only use it in low-range when Stabilitrac is disabled. I cannot say for sure but, I think any sort of limited slip or full-time traction device will play hell with the Stabilitrac. Perhaps this is why GM only allows lockers to engage when Stabilitrac is defeated (in low range).

Anybody interested in putting ABS on older solid axles might find this interesting...

Dana60H3...if you plan to keep the 8-lug 70s-era rotors and calipers, then this is all you need to do.

Sorry but I don't recall the info on the precleaner. I do know that the safari snorkel tube is 3.5". The precleaner has a reducer since I got the one with enough CFM for the V8, and it's larger than 3.5". I tried digging up the purchase order but couldn't find it.

Unbelievable rig. I worked for Jim At Dynatrac from 2001 to 2004. He is without a doubt a genius.
It's interesting to see that you use Bernt to do the bodywork. Another absolute master.
What a wonderful build. Makes me want to head north a few miles just to gawk.

Here's a couple of small mods I've been doing.
The Panavise phone mount I've had for a while but never posted any pics. It's incredibly well made and completely removable without leaving holes on your dash. It's specifically made for the H3. They have it for just about every vehicle out there. The base can accommodate just about every smart phone or GPS. You can use it with any protective cover out there. That's why I chose it. All the others were for non cover phone specific type. Also installed a Brunton boat compass. I got the boat compass because you can compensate for all the metal and electronics. Took a while to get compensated right, but now it's spot on. Reason I have it right in front of me is so I can do line of sight navigation if I ever need to. Even though I have a great Garmin GPS, I like to keep my old school gear at hand.

I just got the panavise mount but need the iphone mount to bolt onto the panavise mount. Where did you get the iphone one?
