Simple, rugged, and capable. Ready for any emergency that should come it's way. (No more fancy frills, took the light bar off because someone up at college thought that it would be funny to butcher the wiring that I'd replaced...)

relocated my CB antenna to the driver's rear bumperette or whatever it's called.

Looking good. Cant stand haters. At a snow bog this winter I had someone bend my antenna... Would have liked to catch them in the act, and I would have broke the hand that did it. Nice job on your rig. Looking good.

Yeah, it REALLY pi$$ed me off when I went to leave college and had bits of wire flapping here and there, looked like a preschool kid had cut the wires with those tiny arts and craft scissors... took me a couple of hours to get the wires ran and to get it clean looking to begin with... Always gunna be idiots out there that have 0 respect for not only a Hummer but an "American" made SUV... just sad how bad the automotive world has become where the vehicles become the target... but thanks Pappibri. Your white 3 looks great as well. :thumbs:

Did a couple of little things today...

Changed the fried license plate bulb, relocated my backup camera closer to the trailer hitch and under the bumper to help with rear visability and to keep the camera semi dry, got it cleaned up and waxed, re-cranked the T-bars up to 23.75-24ish", got some touch up Victory Red paint to fix the peeling paint on the Driver's rear door, and relocated my spare tire inside the back and ratchet strapped the sucker down. (I know the look isn't for everyone, but I wanted to try something different without spending any money) Now I just need to get the transmission seal/gasket fixed... (Leaks all over the place right now) :no:

Thanks guys.

jbrand11, I had the spare grill bedlined by Line-X. (Still have the stock chrome one in the basement should anything happen to this grill) but I did the Handles, Guard and Mirrors in Duplicolor Bed Armor with Kevlar, roll on paint... turned out pretty good, just sanded it down and slapped the goopy mess on... They really have a ridged texture now, soo no more slipping when grabbing the handles in the winter.

Did a little refresh here and there over the past few weeks...

attachment.php
Mounted my spare back up and got a 35" spare tire cover on... Also blacked out my exhaust tips with Plastidip, still holding up after a week .
attachment.php
Pulled my KC's and slapped on a set of Rough Country LED's (Wanted to go with something more down-played but bright.
attachment.php
These suckers are BRIGHT, never expected something this small to put out soo much light.
attachment.php
Decided to put the grill guard back on... also might see the relocated winch control box behind the grill now.
attachment.php
Picture with my mom's Wrangler... I don't know, I think that the H3 has turned out pretty good soo far...

Also have a prediciment... H3 has been throwing the CEL for the past month and some change now, Code P0128... Coolant Thermastat... Goes off after a few days, then comes back 2 days later... Read that it's not detrimental to driveability, just a slight drop in engine "Performance"... but ironically ever since the CEL has come on, my MPG's have gone up... :huh: (Went from about 14 up to 15.5) I haven't changed my driving habits at all either... It's weird, maybe I shouldn't fix it just soo I can keep the higher gas mileage... :giggle:

Added 1.25" Motorsport Tech Hub and Lug Centric wheels spacers that I had custom built to stop the tires from rubbing my front sway bar raw. Has a much wider stance and extremely aggressive stance now. :)

Looking good bud.


Did those 1.25" spacers require any modification to your stock wheel studs? I've heard that somewhere around 1"-1.25" you had to cut off the ends of the studs to keep them from hitting your wheel. Just curious, as I've been considering some small spacers on mine.

Thanks adventr.
Nope, my wheel studs are about a quarter inch (Maybe slightly less, below the face of the spacer... Also my wheels have 6 small oval shaped opens on the back, between the lug nut holes, to compensate for a stud protrusion in-case of spacers... but I lucked out and they sit flush, plus I don't get any vibration, which is nice. But I think any less and you'd definitely have to cut the studs.

Added a set of HID/projector lens fitted Fog Lights to the H3. Had to do some creative cutting/modifying to the ThorParts bumper light pods and the grille but in the end I think that it turned out pretty sweet. Thanks a million Derian!... Now I just need headlights to match. :shifty:

Funny, I recently joined and have just been going through the build threads... Wasn't really paying too much attention to anything, just cruising and looking at pics. As your rig got more complete it occurred to me that I recognized that H3. At the time, I lived in Britton. Small world. :)
