Hello everyone,

I’m very glad to join your great community and wanted to introduce my SUT and the work I’ve print into her so far. I’ve had my H2 for a few years now, but only in the last 12–18 months I’ve really been able to work on her. Bertha’s gone from a tired truck to something that feels better than ever. Here’s what’s been done so far:



• Melling oil pump, GM pickup tube/brace, FEL-PRO O-rings & gaskets, → steady 50 psi oil pressure
• GM timing chain, guides, tensioner, related seals
• EVAP purge solenoid replaced
• New AC Delco water pump & thermostat
• All fluids flushed and replaced with GM, AC Delco, or Mobil 1
• NGK plugs, JDMSPEED wires, MSD coils

• K&N cold air intake + AirAid spacer, throttle body & MAF cleaned
• Injectors cleaned

• Roof marker lights resealed
• 7” headlights (OEM harness, DRL + startup animation)
• DRL halos + projector lights in grille
• 2x 7” white grille bumper lights (high beam tied)
• 6Χ 6” amber roof rack lights (manual switch + tied to grille ambers)
• 2Χ rear hitch lights (manual switch)
• LED taillights
• All high-current lights fused/relayed in custom waterproof relay box, fed by an Odyssey battery
• All roof marker lights upgraded to led and resealed

• New OE windshield
• Rust removal + undercoating
• AC Delco brake booster upgrade (2011+ GM full-size truck)
• AC Delco OEM rotors + Brembo ceramic pads

• Kryptonite UCAs
• Bilstein B8 5100 shocks front & rear + Bilstein steering stabilizer
• Supreme Suspensions 2–3” lift kit w/front shock extenders
• McGaughys rear shock extenders
• Spohn adjustable panhard bar
• Cognito sway bar links and tie rod sleeves
• Moog bushings
• Toyo Open Country A/T III 37X12.50R17

• Dorman window regulators
• Sony head unit w/ CarPlay, OnStar delete
• Baby monitor/camera hardwired
• Rockford Fosgate P300-10T powered sub into OEM Bose system
• Pair of JBL Club 64c (front)
• Pair of JBL Club 64 (rear)




At just under 200k miles, she’s running better than she ever did.

Hope everyone is doing great and I would be happy to answer any questions and very open to any suggestions or comments, thanks for having me here.

Welcome to HF.

That is quite a list of mods. You can remove the TB Spacer as they do NOTHING and make a half decent paper weight.

congrats on your SUT . I wanted an SUT, but it wasn't within my budget, so I got an 07" H2 SUV. from the build specs, your truck looks insane.
I originally asked 17s black rhino armor with 37x13.50x17
But I got 20s black rhino arsenal with 37x13.5x20.
Man I wish I can see your build. Congrats
