Default Amstar Off Road HUMMER H3

I really liked this article (even though it is old) and it answers a lot of questions we have had here like locking front differential, on board air, a real lift kit, etc... I'll see what y'all think.

I have seen that article in several places. Wish they had actually made that package available. That is one of my beefs with Hummer. You should be able to order the H3 from the factory that way and not have to go to a bunch of aftermarket guys.

I'm saying that you should be able to get the dual beadlock wheels, roof rack, under carriage protection, off road lights, etc by checking some boxes on the order form and not having to go to 10 different aftermarket providers. They market the truck as an off road vehicle so I think they should have a package of options that caters to the offroad crowd.

That cargo carrier is the cats azz, probably only costs around $ 2000.00 [sm=boohoo.gif][sm=headbang.gif]

Are the beadlock wheels street legal? Also can you use them on a daily drive vehicle or should you switch out the tires/rims for only when your on the trail?

Man I want that cargo organizer! I think I like the Adventure Accessories bumper better though. It looks lower profile than the one in the link above. So I take it, none of the stuff on that truck is available, or is it just a collage of several after-market companies?

Those look to be the DOT approved type . The face of the wheel bolts to the "body?" of the wheel not just a ring around the bead.

AmStar seems to be a joint venture between AM GHeneral and a company called TecStar. Here's some of their stuff:

From what I can gather from the net, StarCraft, TecStar and AmStar are all the same and MOSTLY only available through dealers. Which means you'll pay $600.00 for an item that costs $200 retail. Geeze, there just isn't much real 4X4 stuff out there for H3's. I guess I'm spoiled because you can get Jeep stuff at your local 7-11! J/K but you get the drift...

The dual beadlocks are street legal.
