Default New H2 Enthusiast Here

Hello to my Hummer brothers out there.
Had mine for some years now; never really been part of an automotive forum ... well, until now. Just been spending my Sunday morning trying to figure out what my next upgrades will be..
Just from reading 30 minutes worth of posts, I can quickly see that you guys are a much tighter community than the Chevy/ GM forums ... thought I'd join! Super excited about sharing, reading & exchanging ideas.

A little about my rig:
2003 H2, Fabtech lift, Dirt Logic shocks, miscellaneous Hotchkis & Rancho suspension pieces, Fuel wheels w/ 38 Nittos. Some mild engine upgrades, full exhaust, headers, ECU tune.. roughly 85k miles.

Thanks for the warm welcome Hummerz. Can't wait to see your rig .. so that I can critique it and tell you what I think about it.

Welcome to HF. Only observation/advice,yet you may have missed it, you increased the load weight on your bearings, causing premature failure+damage to the axles.

Thanks Hummerz, appreciate the welcome. Thanks man.
Yeah, I'm completely aware of the added stress on the bearings and the downsides of running such a wild offset.
I have a 2015 2500HD on about 14 inches of lift on 40 inch tires with a radical offset as well. Been down the road with bearings, bushings, you name it. It can be a bit of a pain and it definitely isn't for everyone.
But I do love the look and it's what makes me happy.. If you don't mind paying to play - and if you don't mind wrenching on your rig it isn't that bad. Like I said, for anyone down the road reading this post and admire the look...
*** Hummerz it totally right. Like I said it isn't for everyone! The advice above is completely relevant and something to take into consideration if you're thinking about the extreme offsets.

Default Predator Motorsports Brush Guard w/ Rigid Light Bar

Thanks wpage! Really appreciate it brother!
Here's the newest addition as of last week. I bought the Predator brush guard a few years ago, finally put it on. Also added a 20" Rigid radius light bar..

That 'LOOK" will get you a ticket from law enforcement in MI, a pile of other states, and the Province of Ontario that require tires to remain inside the fender and stick out no more than 1".

Glad you like it.
