Now I think we are up to date. Everything else with the exception of one or two items is sitting here and waiting to be installed :sigh:.

Got a little present coming Saturday after two months of patiently waiting. Huge thanks to Amanda for the heads up on a deal of a life time! :link:

Thanks BW. My uncle lives in Indiana and meet the seller half way for me. He is visiting this weekend and will be bring it with him. I been looking for a BA for over a year now, missed out on one or two but I guess this one was meant to be :). Going to test fit it this weekend and then I will sand blast it and weld the brush guard on. Then it will be sent out to be powder coated to match my Thorparts rear bumper. As for the hordes of parts, its about time they go on...instead of spending there time in my closet :wink:

Can't wait to see it go on! Your truck is going to look so good once you get the parts on. Can't wait to see the rest of this build!:corn:

Looking great so far, I can't wait to see it with the BA and some dirt. :thumbs:

I love the black and orange combo! It's perfect. You plan on painting black the silver bumper center section? That was the first thing I did when my H3 was stock.

Do you have the part number for the matt black HUMMER letter? I've only found cheap knock off that shrink with the heat.

Al, its actually orange but in some pictures it can look redish. No plans for painting the silver part as it will be coming off anyways when I put the Boulder Accessories bumper on.

The matte black HUMMER letters are just that, knock offs but the quality is good. They never made anything like this for the H3, only H2's.

With that being said, you might be able to locate a set of grille emblems from an H2.

Who ever said red? ;) Thanks for the link. Actually, the owner of Big Black let me have his off of his H2. Just never had the time to swing by and pick them up.

Not much of an update but meet my uncle today and picked up the bumper. Overall good shape, just needs to be blasted and powder coated. Would love to test fit it today but feeling a little under the weather.
