THat looks sweet!!! I posted on a couple other forums as well. I'm hoping you can answer a couple of my questions.

Is you H3 an 08 Alpha? If not, do you know it they made changes so that this bumper will fit the Alpha? If they have, I'd be interested on getting on their list to get one of these.

Do you work for ARB? If so, could you please send me a PM with your contact info.

If your gonna bolt that big hunk of metal on your Hummer be prepared to upgrade your suspension or you'll start sagging. Most vehicles I've seen with an ARB Bumper needed heavy duty springs/shocks.

Actually it's not that bad as you can see in the photo of my H3. It did drop a bit, but it is a pretty light bar. We cranked on the torsion bars slightly to restore it to factory height and I have had no sag issues since.

Tried to vote, link not working correctly. Black. Nice looking guard, but I do think a bit pricey.

Compared to other winch bumpers, and especially bumper/brushguard combos, for the H3, that's a competitive price. The only ones that are close to that in style are the Rough Country and H2O, and they both cost more.

The Sway-A-Way or Alpha t-bars are an easy upgrade, although obviously more $$$. They definitely help though. Also, switching to synthetic line and an aluminum fairlead will lighten things up by 50-60 pounds.
