H3T Roll Call

2009 H3T new owner
Hey all - new to the forum here. Picked up a 2009 H3T adventure + luxury package and started doing a few mods. Apologies in advance if this has been asked/answered already but can’t seem to find from the search function...anyone else found a bolt-on to roof rack LED ligh bar option that will fit an H3/H3T without having to drill into anything?

Picked up one of those "48" 2010 Alphas (with the adventure package as well ). Just bought some 35's and some 20's to be put on soon. I was holding off while researching lift kits. Any way to get a similar set up to the 4" Rancho that was discontinued? If I can get that kind of clearance I will most likely sell the 35s and get some 37s.
Thanks!
Thanks!
2010 Alpha OffRoad, 37s, 1" body lift, some slight trimming, Re-geared to 4:56, Lots of Outfitter Design Steering and Differential mods.
Sorry, 20s don't wheel well. Stick with 17s.

Outfitter parts:
Oversized tie-rods
Steering rack bracket (I also have a Scorpworks bracket kit and love it, very solid)
Front diff support bushing kit (absolute must, you will destroy the stock bushing in a month on 35s or 37s, and this can destroy your very expensive and rare front cast iron diff).
1” body lift (I think there are a few options out there, this one I haven’t done yet.
Level it (free, I recommend using the Hunner nut trick to reuse the stock front shocks, if they are still good)
Brakes (stock H3/H3T brakes are very good, but make sure they are in top condition before installing bigger tires)
Make sure to get your visual inspection points down. Stuff to check before/after each wheeling trip.

Picked up an 09 Alpha mostly for my wife. Her H2 SUT lost oil pressure and I parked it for now.
The V8 in this thing is awesome. I had the 5 cylinder in my last H3, what a difference. I just installed an ARB bumper and winch I had from my last H3 project a few years ago.

Good to hear. My wife is excited about the Gladiator coming out. I am hoping to steer her into a V8 upgrade instead.
