so do you do all your mods yourself? impressive ****....like I mentioned before I just picked my 3 up about a month ago and really want to turn it into something more than a gangster soccer mom suv....so I might be hitting you up with some questions if ya dont mind!!
I have done everything to my truck by myself along with a little help from friends. I just had to have my truck towed to the dealer. It threw a CE light and wouldn't go faster than 20 MPH. Now I will probably be without it for a bit. Have fun and take it easy on the trails. It will make for a bad time if you break something. These truck have a very weak front differential and doesn't take much to snap it. I have done it twice so far, knock on wood... You will be surprised how capable it is even being stock. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will answer them the best I can. I had the same idea in mind with mine. No mall crawler for me!

I am very surprised to see how many people are surfacing from this area. I used to be on another forum until I got banned. Long story... But I was the only one on there from around here. Yeah, it is good to see there are others around here. It helps keep the name strong especially when we are in the same community. Also, if you have any questions on anything, please ask or use the search function. Chances are you will find it here.




Just shoot me a PM and I will answer as soon as I can. Also before you ask, you can fit 35" tires on your trucks with stock suspension with a torsion bar crank to ~23.5" with little rum on full wheel lock. Don't worry about MPG's and ditch the nerfs if you have them! Just some of the most common questions here that people tend to ask.

Funny how many H3's I notice around here since we got ours. I am not into offroading.....couple very expensive bad mistakes in my youth. But I also don't like having a "regular" looking vehicle. Will post pics when the new stuff starts coming in.

Her daily driver and your weekend wheeler! If you decide to take it off road when she isn't looking, take the steps off. They are the first thing to take damage. This way you can have fun with it without destroying the steps and she will have no idea you did! Steps will be just like she left them.
