Hummer H3For the Hummer driver who wants the rugged look and off road capabilities of the Hummer, but in a smaller size and with a more fuel economy friendly engine.
Many years ago I removed the spare tire, and installed painted bolts with sealer to cover the holes. I noticed the bolts were rusting, and the seal around the cab vent was cracked beyond repair. I pulled the vent and the seal crumbled, cleaned it, and reinstalled with silicone clear caulk. Today I installed
I got way to many, yet they were cheap, and I installed with silicone clear caulk. I also removed the wiper motor and washer, and installed a 1-1/4" round stainless steel panel cover, and a black body plug(from my tool chest full of hardware) sealed with silicone. More parts on the way(led lights), to change the wiper motor/washer holes, and eliminate the cab vent, plus another hitch cover, that needs replaced again.
Sorry....just not feeling it. In MY opinion, (and I know everyone has one), a spare hanging on the rear is part of a Hummer's character just like the hood vent.

I've never had a need for the spare! My oem spare tire and rim is still planted in the back yard. I do construction/remodel/renovating and use my rear door a lot and carry loads of material on top. Easy open/open close on the cargo door, and easy to tie down a load of material stepping on rear bumper, with the tire out of the way. Same with the rear wiper, I've probably used that a handful of times, yet I've replaced the wiper blade many times, since the rubber deteriorates and hangs down. I have great rear view now! My tires on the ground are just over 5yrs old, yet still have 14/32nds of tread remaining inside/center/outside on all 4, and I will replace them at the 6yr mark, maybe sooner if a tpms decides to finally fail?

Decided to give some attention to my front trim panels. Pulled them, washed with dish soap, a few minutes with a heat gun until they turned all black, then a coat of turtle wax trim restorer while still warm. Approx 10minutes total time involved for each piece.
Giving some attention to the rear
It looks NUDE without a spare.
