Cool Gpcalero's "The Duke" H3T Alpha Build

BACK IN THE GAME BABY.

Been quite a while since I was last here. I sold my old H3 and got in to racing... and now I'm back again with an H3T Alpha!
Old Build >> Gpcalero's Lil' Sparta Build

To be fair, I've had the truck for almost 2 years now, just never bothered to post on the forums until recently. I've been lurking lmao.

Anyways, I've decided to start a build thread for my rig since it's getting kinda out of hand. It's a 2009 Hummer H3T Alpha with the Adventure package (front & rear electronic locking diffs) & luxury package. The previous owner already had a few mods on it before I bought it like the AMP Research retractable steps, 32-ish gallon auxiliary fuel tank, STARR HIDs, H3T specific fender flares & a 40 series cat back muffler.

Here she is the day I drove her down to FL from Atlanta.




Since I've had it for a while now, I have quite a few mods on it since then. And more coming! I will be slowly compiling my pictures and sharing with you guys. Image hosting seems to have gotten more annoying. What are you guys using to host?

Happy to be back to the community! I remember a few of the great people on here that helped with the old build like Doc and Wtfturner, and still surprised to have the old build featured on the mobile version of the site!




More to come...

Interesting. What is the production date? Also, do you have a pic of the service parts identification label, that you can post?

Perhaps your new build will be featured next to it then!

I am still driving and enjoying my 07 H3, now at 81K. Yes, low mileage by some of these guys on here.
Nothing major mechanical has happened, but it is not wise to speak that way too often.
Me, I getting older and I have many more miles than my truck.

Good luck with your H3T project, it's obvious you like the color "white"

Glad to hear it buddy.

LOL. I was looking at black or orange H3T's a long time ago. But after having a black car, I was really interested in getting another one. They sure do look great when they are all shined up, but hell are they quick to show dirt, swirls and not to mention heat traps!

Hummerz, looks like it was a late 2008 production date. Sept, 2008. So probably among the first 2009 models.


Service Parts ID label.




What are you trying to do?

Sent you a PM.

Pretty cool to know there was only 692 built in '08. With so few T's built overall compared to the H3, the only thing I worry about is the availability of T specific parts in the future if I should need them.
