Finally, My H3 Pics!

I finally had a chance to take some good pics, so here they are:

I'm sure they're lovely..But I can't see them


Never mind they're on now...Hay Man, that is a sweet looking ride... Nice job!...I'll bet the local fire dept. would love to have you for a mascot

One more thing would top it off..

Chrome wheel centers

Thanks! I was looking at those center caps on eBay, but because my wheels have been so dirty lately from brake dust, I actually didn't realize there was a polished finish to them and didn't think they would look right. Now that I see them on yours, I will definitely have them in a few months ;-) eBay had them a few times for $79.99 for four.

HummerGuy, Nice Rig!!!! The chrome accents really set it off!!!! How do you keep your tires from picking up the little stones that mine seems to always have it them?

I email the guy while I was buying them from him (same guy as your's I'll bet, cuz that's the same price I paid) and I really sucked up to him with compliments and praise to his wonderful deal....And he threw in a fifth one no charge.

Looks great. Nice pic's.
The chrome centers will look cool.


BTW, I could not see the magnets.

lookin' good, but you need more chrome!!

the pictures definately make more sense of your light bar than my squinting at your avatar picture did LOL, thanks for posting those up!

Thanks! I drive about 50 miles a day on the expressway so they probably fling off. I need to rotate the tires though. My front tires have about 40% more wear then the rears, except everybody wants $50 for that and since I don't have a garage yet, it's hard to do myself. Two more months and I'll be able to.

Nice rig I have the same trailer hitch cover on mine

Thanks again. Actually there are only a few more things I plan to get: The stainless steel brush guard, the chrome tail light guards, the chrome center caps, and possibly the stailness steel tow hooks. I'm a little weary about those tow hooks though. I know they look nice, but I wonder if they are really as strong as the factory ones. That's one thing where functionality is more important to me then looks. After all that, I'm done.

Next is the 2009 Camaro. Damn I can't wait for that

The Solid Stainless ones, like the ones you can get from StallionsCustom, are way stronger than the factory's.

Truck looks nice, Mike!!! Good job!!

Those exhaust tips will be toast if you take it off roading. Your departure angle is about half of spec. :)

Well, I'm starting to re-think whether I want to take it off-roading anymore. It's one of the main reasons I bought it, but now that I have it lookin all spiffy-like, I may just join the like of HummBob and say "Off-Roading; What's that?" ;-)

i understand that line of thought. My 2 has lost a grille, its steps (my fault for leaving them on), and a bumper to offroad damage.


nice choice & balance of bling, BTW

hahaha, that makes me think of my dad when I was younger & he just got a mitsubishi montero... he was at the gas station filling it up when some random guy comes up and says "hey cool truck, do you ever take it off road?" my dad had the quick response of "yeah, sometimes when I go to football games, they make me park on the grass"

Thank you. I honestly wanted to go the al blacked out/same color grill theme, but my wife started getting me into the chrome accessories. I found most of my stuff on eBay and was patient doing so. As much as I drive my H3, I'm starting to wonder if I want to take the chance destroying something by going off-roading. I really want to, but I also like my H3 being in good shape.

It's actually a little embarrasing if you tell people you haven't. Then they automatically assume you aren't going to. Not that I really give two @!$#$ what people think, but at the same time, it defeats the purpose of having a off-road vehicle. We'll see. Maybe I'll just buy a dirt bike ;-)

yeah, i understand that train of thought. I lucked out as i had a spare grille & the bumper needs to be swapped out for a winch bumper anyway. I'm going to try to handle it by putting repairable stuff on the lower part of the truck (line-X or something that i can touch up) and transfering bling and custom paint to the top.

we'll have to see how it goes.

yeah, you're right about that... I did it a couple times and my rear fenders didn't like all of the mud being thrown at them (mostly afterwards & driving on the road again). I think I did it initially just to say that I have done it, I'm not against doing it, I just need to find a way to protect my truck better before I go back again (I like it too much!)

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I at least would like to get the underbody cage before I go the first time, but I see how much fun people are having and feel like I'm missing out, but then again, I have the luxury of driving it every day. I figure if there is one thing I get to do every day to make it worth working so much it's driving the H3, so even though it's a little costly, I think I deserve it.

Now that the exterior is done for the most part, I'm going to finish up my interior. I'll post some good pics of that in a week or two when I get my new stuff installed in there.

Nice truck.. MAN you have to take it off road once. Thay are fun you don't have to beat it into
the ground. We have one think in common the trailer hitch.

Thanks! Did you install your hitch yourself? It was the easiest thing to do. I still am looking for a clip-on trailor wiring port instead of just the wires dangling. I used some wire ties to tie the wiring to the hitch bars and made sure I shrink-tubed and soldered everything securely. I only used it twice to two but so far it's awsome.

Looks good Mike those eye bolts do not go threw the roof do they?
Love the house congratulations.
