58Bisc's 2006 H3

Picture time!


New Hummer H3 built July 2005:





















I keep a book that has every receipt and document I've ever gotten. It also has how to's I've printed out:

Ok, that's it for the bone stock photo's... Now the modification begins...


K&N filter:



AirDoc's intake:



Completed:



Ported throttle body:



Installed, I also did the PCM tune with shift level 3 for the trans (upper left of the picture):



Coil spring deletes:



Installed with the boot still off:



AC Delco IRIDUM plug upgrade:



315/75/16 General Graber Red letter tires:



Installed, this is a four for one special picture! Tires, Tbar crank, running boards & fender flares:



I don't have any pictures of just the running boards or fender flares with splash guards or the Tbar crank for that matter. I have since removed the running boards in favor of a custom set of rock sliders (built for my 1 inch body lift)


Here is one after the body lift:



This is the GOBI ladder installed:



2008 Championship edition stripe:



Thor bumper & bull bar with a 12,500 winch:



Lights for the bull bar:



Parts for the dual battery set up I installed. Tmax control, dual yellow top Optmia's:



Tail light gaurds:



Installed tail light guards. You can see the window vent shades in this shot also:

Here is the finished sliders ready for shipping:


A couple more of tail light guards:

Now for the under caridge. You have seen the sliders, so I'll start with the body lift.


Here is a shot of one of the body mounts:



Frame exposed after the lift:



Hummer UCP:



GM touring exhaust:






GM H3 tips:



Trail Duty extended bump stops and front Bilstein shocks:



New rack with 16 mm tie rods waiting to be installed:



Rear Bilstein shocks:



Spider diff guard:



I like this shot of the complete under side. Still waiting for Hunner to find a place to make the shock/spring sliders, but I have an NOS set of BA shock sliders to use until he does. Of course the Scharttzy rock sliders will finish off the underside:

OK, so I gave you a shot of what the interior looked when I started (see the first thread).


Here is the stock dash, just like most of you have:



Here is my personal touch:



The wheel cover and H3 emblem are color matched:



Front and rear control panels, cup holder, shifter base, center console, air vents and guage cluster are all wrapped in red:



I added a harness to the stereo that lets me play the iPod or phone through the XM band:



Here is the iPod installed:

I really think this cleaned up the Thor bumper install.


Before:



Done and installed:



Shot with the KC lights:



Taking on a bit of a Baja look, which I like.

Dual batteries install:



Side view:


Tmax controller installed and working:



A close up view of the Tmax controller:


Home made bracket:

Very nice writeup. I really like what you have done with your truck. How do you like the road manners of the grabbers? I like the ipod port in the center console, something GM should have put there in the first place.

Victory Red grille with black Hummer letters is completed and ready for install. I have a set of BA shock skids that I bed lined and they are ready for install. My set of Schwarttzy rock slides custom built for my one inch body lift will be delivered on Tuesday and I have a semi locally built GOBI stealth clone roof rack being delivered on Wednesday.

Great looking H3! What are we gonna expect in the future?

Thank you. I really wanted a Knight Metal Works roof rack like yours, but I figured shipping would kill me, so I went local. I love the Grabbers. I've used them on the highway, snow, ice and rain. I have not had the chance to take them off road yet, but that is comming.

After I get the sliders, roof rack, skid plates and grille installed, I'm looking at some type of rack lights, high lift jack with a rack mount, slotted and drilled rotors with ceramic pads and a sound system upgrade with built in nav system. Not sure yet after that.

:corn:

Nice writeup! Love the evolution of your truck.

Sweet lookin rig! What iPod plug in thingy is that?... I need one of them haha

Same here!!!

This weekends adds...


Victory red grille:

















BA shock sliders bed lined and ready for install:



Made up a harness for the driving lights, then wired them in:



Factory switch is a two week item, so I mounted the KC switch in the same location:






Of all of the upgrades I have done to my truck, this $3.00 item works the best. I put one of the convex mirrors on both sides pointing down. I can see my tires and the bottom half of the H3 now:



I took the time to unspool the wintch and tried both the cabled remote and wireless to respool with some tension. I'm hoping to do some more work on it this week if the parts come in.

There are many options for doing this, but I had a guy from a vett forum make it for me. It taps into the XM audio line to allow the output of the iPod or phone to play through the radio's XM band.

Love the interior! Who did you go through to get that done?

It was in the truck the day I bought it new. It turned out the interior was a Katzkin custom and had been ordered for a client that never picked it up. I added the rest. Vinyl rap on the dash, etc..., steering wheel wrap I order in those colors from JCWhitney back when I first got it.

Couple of quick updates, roof rack in progress:



Sliders need a little adjusting to get them to fit correctly.


Very beefy:



Sliding them under for the third time...

Not going to bore you with too many shots of the roof rack build. Just a couple to give you the idea of what it looks like.


The rear with light cut outs:



The outline of a stealth:



The builder should have it completed and ready for paint tomorrow. Floor, tie down hooks and light bar are all that are left.

The rack looks like a gobi, really good job :thumbs:

Looks great 58Bisc, keep the updates coming!
