Joining the Hummer Club!!
So I have been on the lookout for my next daily driver/adventure rig, fist thought about getting something similar to what I had for the past 5 years, an Xterra, then I realized that I had many short comings and that it wasn’t going to be enough for my towing needs amongst a few other smaller things.
So then my mind went to a Ford F-150…. But they are everywhere and there is nothing cool about that…
Then I got looking at a few Jeep Rubicon’s, they were good for a majority of my needs, but finding a used one with the “right” mods was proving to be too difficult! Many of the owners were posting up for sale pic’s of dirty rigs, which just led me to believe that they were not well taken care of.
Then I got to wishing and wanting the Double Cab Brute or the Six Pack made by AEV, yet to be available to the general public…… Then it just hit me… the H3T is prob the closest thing to the AEV Double Cab as anything else on the market! If the right package was up for sale it will already be equipped as a trail ready rig with front and rear lockers as a factory option.
BOOOM :whaa: first search I do locally on Kijiji show this beautiful 2009 Hummer H3T Alpha (w/ cloth) with a custom paint job, the 5.3L V8, supercharger (approx 435Hp), lift, tires, lockers, snugtop canopy, custom exhaust, touch screen media console yada yada yada…. I fell head over heels for the thing!
The very next morning I drove over to the dealership, checked it over, and took it for a test drive…. I knew before I was done and out of the truck I that she was going to be sitting in my driveway before the end of the month!
This past Sat I picked her up!
Here are a couple of pic's from the dealer:
Now before anyone says anything about the 20's please note they will be switched over to a 17'' rims and tire combo (still with 37's) once this rubber wears out.... & its white not pink the red curtain in pic 2 on the left is just giving pic 1 hint of pink
I am getting 12MPG if I am mostly easy on her and only punch it a few times per tank, haven't gotten a milage rating for being easy on her or all highway yet.... what would be the point of having a Super Charged Hummer if I am worried about getting goo milage!!
I am looking forward from learning from you guys and trust me this this is far from the way I want it set up, but its a real good start!
(Trail pic's coming soon!)
