Finished installing Hutchinson Beadlock wheels on the Alpha. Now the H3T and SUV match! Still missing one for my spare if anyone has a line on a single wheel lol.

Thanks! She's a work in progress. Not sure what I want to do next. I kind of like the way it looks now. Simple and clean.

Second that, I would also keep it just like it is, with black wheels

Installed NOS OEM H3 U-Steps today (GM#12498473). Need a total of 6 more steps to finish out the SUV and H3T if anyone has a line on more in good nick. (If you look closely at the rock rail on the last picture you can see the sole spec of reddish-brown mud on my H3 lol)

-Drawer (as far as I know) was never put into production.
-Boulder Accessories Poster
-Found inside BA drawer.
-Rod Hall Signature Series RR Fox Shocks
-Also removed from the AMSTAR Show Truck
-Will post pictures of these after I get a chance to clean up and
install.

Installed Rod Hall Signature Series Fox Racing shocks; also from the AMSTAR show truck. I got them in a parts deal with the Boulder Accessories drawer in the post above. So far, these are superior to the OEM shocks I removed. The Fox shocks are better at absorbing impact and controlling body roll, yet the dampening isn't so sharp you snap your spine.

Made a divider system for the toolbox. Will go back and add sound deadening material/carpet at a later date.

Installed pinstripes to match the H3T. Last post for a minute since deployment things are happening. *heavy sigh*.

Bonus Engine Bay Picture

Wow, that engine bay photo looks like it was taken on the showroom floor.

Thanks man. Elbow grease goes a long way. Believe it or not the orange H3 has 104xxx miles on it.

Oops, I fibbed....one more post!

Added some sound insulator mats to the inside of the toolbox in an attempt to muffle the sound of rattling tools. If y'all have any further suggestions on how to quiet down tool noise I am all ears.

Had privacy window tint installed. Should make a big difference with interior temp control, and make it harder for peeping toms to see stuff on the inside.

 

[H3Hummer]

Wow, looks like new

 

[H3Hummer]

my tools are all in a box, but there's a little noise here and there, tools can't be quit

Nice set up! The sound insulator pads helped a decent amount on my toolbox. You can still hear them over big bumps and such. I don’t think there’s anything I can do about that lol.

 

[H3Hummer]

No i don't think that to, tools are knocking around on each other

Installed Seaport Hummer H3 seat backpacks. These latch on in place of the OEM seat back nets (replaces GM#15875355). Now the H3T and Wagon match!

OEM (useless) map pockets. ^^

Well folks, it happened again. The inevitable. I bought another Hummer lol. This one will be my daily/camping vehicle since the H3T is basically for preservation at this point.

Introducing "Angry Orange", a Solar Flare Metallic Orange 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha with 90,000 miles on the clock. One owner, originally sold at Lynch Hummer. Jim Lynch sent me some Lynch Hummer license plate bezels and paper tags, of which I will post pictures later.

I purchased them from a private seller on Facebook Marketplace.

I'm going to hold on to them for now in case I decide to take the backpacks off. I appreciate your interest though.
