Hello everybody, I'm Bradly. You probably wonder about my profile name as being FX4. It been stuck with me since 2006 as owner of 2004 crewcab F150 FX4. Have had it for 9 years. Leveled it, changed gear ratio to 4.10, ran on 325\65\18 on both Nitto A\T (3 sets of them), blew transmission five times. Torn whole top end to rebuild it. Broke transfer case twice and rebuilt it myself, ran great for last 5 years (75,000 plus miles). Stripped gears in front axle and rear end at different time. Broke just basically everything on it. Until one day motor finally coughed, shuttered, and died. Broken time chain, head on driver side blown to pieces, #1 & 3 pistons shattered. I was like it's time for new truck. I wanted diesel 4x4, I went out looking for it. My mom's husband has 2006 Hummer H3. When it first came out, I thought it was ugly and piece of s**t for being called Hummer..... That was years ago. Anyway, mom and her husband brought his H3 for me to drive (one of 20 something vehicles he owns), I was like great, H3... I'll just suck it up until I find myself a bad as a diesel. Or at least jeep. Turned out my credit is just OK.. And out of my price range. I got stuck with H3 though winter about 4 months. I eventually became attached to it. I decided to research on H3, read hundred of hummer forum here and there. I was impressed. I started visualizing what I could do with it if I had one. I started looking for Alpha, I have to have V8. I have had few vehicles with v8, wouldn't ever go back anything lesser than 4 pistons on each side of 45 degree engine block. But now... Loom at me! My H3's i5.... I looked at several diff H3s, like this one and that one but price not right. One day, Grant, my mom's husband came to me asking how I liking H3. I said I never like H3 until I been driving it for months so it's your fault. He laughed and offered me to buy his. I couldn't turn his offer. So now, I have had it for almost a year now. I finally started working on H3 to get it where I like it to be at. One part at a time! Anyway, about myself I'm from Oklahoma, and I'm deaf. I uploaded pic of H3 earlier today. Seem I'm having trouble to get it works.
Anyway, have a great Hummer day!
Bradly

I'm having trouble with upload the pictures. Is this forum programmed for laptop\regular to upload because it won't go through my phone or tablet. Do I need to install tap talk to get it working?

You have to host your pix on a server like photobucket etc. Then link them here.
