Default new H3 owner in WV

Hey everyone. I just got my first hummer 2 weeks ago, I love it so far except the gas mileage lol. The dealer told me 18city/22 highway..

Anyways, I'm looking for a few things to add on to h3. I have a black 08 h3 adventure.
I'm wanting to add the following:
1. Black bull bar with pre drilled holes for 2 off road lights.
2. Roof basket with extension to go from front to back, with pre drilled holes for 4-6 off road lights ( I have no sunroof).
3. Running boards, I've only seen the set I want one time. They are rocker guards with steps that come down at each door.

Any help on finding this items, new or used, is greatly appreciated.

1st off, welcome to the forum. You'll have to baby the sin outta her to get those type of mpgs, downhill on the highway is about the only way you'll be getting 22mpgs!

Some interesting accessories right off the rip... Sounds like:
1.) Westin makes a bull bar, but its cheap and flimsy, I would look into the Thorparts front bumper replacement.
FRONT BUMPER
I can be ordered w/ optional bull bar....

2.) Gobi is the rack of all racks, full length and made to last in the USA!

pricey yes, but the best of the best of the best...

3.)N Fab makes some show style bars, but OEM GM made rocker guards w/ intergrated steps... However Brodie offer steps for his rock bashers! Also the best money can buy!
Ridge Demon
OEMs are gonna be hard to find, but not impossible...

What are your plans for her?

Welcome.
Just to be sure, people interchange the terms, are you looking for a Bull Bar or a Brushguard ?

There's a discussion about bull bars here:

I'm wanting a bull bar or a wrap around brushgaurd.

I'm wanting that mean off road look, I live in wv so the protection is nice to have in the winter time. The winters are cold and slick, lol.

I have a friend that works in a machine shop, I think we are going to try and make a nice roof basket. I do not have the roof rack cross bars, are they needed?

The roof racks are not needed, utilize the channel, lots of people have fabbed some look on the forums... If your going to make a roof rack than you could easily make a brush guard or bull bumper...

Hello and Welcome from MI! Post up some pix of your rig.

1. build your own while building your Safari Roof Basket.
2. build your own with your fab shop buddy. Less cost, Kustom fit for yoru needs and you can say "I built it".
3. "They are rocker guards with steps that come down at each door." No such "true" rock rails, the "steps" would catch on what you are sliding over. Only 2 brands of true H3 Rock Rail choices out there at this time: OEM & Rocky Roads Super Sliderz. Ridge Demon Rock Bashers are out of production right now.

Does anyone have a pic of a front and rear bumper guards, that has interchangeable winch slots?? Like where I can use it on front or rear by sliding it in and having a pin to lock it in?
