I've had my H3 for a bout 2 years now and love it, finally got rid of the stock wranglers (265/75/16) and got some new ones, Firestone destination A/T (285/75/16) I needed new tires and couldnt beat the beat the pricing for them. BIG MISTAKE-- I really wish i would have saved my good money and gotten 33's with 20's

My spring break was 2 weeks ago and i saw some really cool H3's now i kinda leaning toward doing a 4 inch lift with 335/55/22 SICK COMBO LOOKS GREAT
Problem is i'm a high school student and don't have a lot of money.

DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS WHERE I CAN FIND WHAT I' LOOKING FOR IN A REASONABLE PRICE RANGE

Keep watching Ebay. I just bought a set of Hutchinson two piece dual beadlock wheels with GSA tires on it for about 15% of retail on Ebay. The wheels list for $2100.00 each and the tires about $400.00 each. You just have to be patient.

Not to hijack the thread......but I don't know how many times lately I have seen threads that High School students are driving Hummers. Go figure........

LOL At least that is better than the '75 Vega I had!

Later I upgraded to a '79 Sunbird . . . but a friend and I took a hot wrench to it and made it off-road capable. Yeah, I grew-up in a hick town.

REEF_H3- EBay and Craigslist . . . CL is a little more risky, but you can find some good deals.

Got you all beat!! Sported a 52 Ford 3/4 ton 4X4 W/Wood bed, tar paper floor boards (to pass PA state inspection) & no heat to school. Dad said take the farm truck ot the "big yellow thing that goes past the drive every day", it was my choice!! If he only knew all the things I did with that truck.

at 19 I was driving a 76 Plymouth Duster (Powder Blue), Slant 6, Standard with NO floor boards (no state inspection in OH). Used to run over puddles on purpose to get my buddies wet. LOL
With holes like that in the floor boards didn't really matter if I had heat, you couldn't feel it!

Sorry. LOL

I personally don't see the need for a lift, but alot of people on here do. Personal preference. Just crank the front up, change out the shocks and put some good tires on it.
