Blackie the 07 H3

Hey, all. Long time HXC member but since the club and forum are pretty much dead I figure it is time to move my build threads over here since it appears the HXC website's days are numbered. This was my first Hummer! MTF.....

Have at it buddy. This is the permanent home for a lot of us.

Thanks. I have been on this forum for a while too, but never attended an H4O meet! Lots of good content on here too.

Hello all! Watch the transformation of my 2007 H3 from a sad, bald tire, barely luxury package, into a full blown Adventure-Luxury package. (Factory correct and dealership options only.)

Here she is on the day I bought her with 127,244 miles on the odometer, and 4 bald highway radials . Fresh from MA.

Bought new tires today! Cooper Discoverer ATP 265s. In addition, I removed the running boards and that damned plasti-dip and shined up the chrome, for that brilliant shiny glow. Also gave her the first Porterhaus detail, and dropped by the Hummer dealership for a check up. They let me play on the old display outside the showroom.

Vehicle sold in the interest of purchasing my next project...an H2!

Thanks! Not many Hummers in South Korea where you are now.

I saw two young service guys at the bar of my hotel in Seoul, the Aloft in Gangnam. They read on the Internet it was a good bar but I never saw it with more than 3 people in it, and that was the three of us. They were a bit disappointed with the location. I sent them over to Hongdae.

Wish we were allowed off post. It would be more fun. The H3 and H2 builds are from my pre-Army days. There are a couple H3s snd one H2 on post here. Low key jealous! I will be back soon enough
