Default A few changes to my H3

So my H3 was looking kinda plain. I bought a rack/basket off of craigslist for $80, I needed cross bars and bought those off of Ebay from nana outpost. Shipped to my door for $99.97. Leveled the front end today, shocks and alignment happen in the morning.

I think I may remove the step bars since all they are good for is getting your pant legs dirty!

yeah, I'd def move the basket forward. Perhaps center the crossbars over the rear door? Looks good and you got a good deal on the basket. How is the quality of the cross bars?

The basket right now is even with the door gap, but I still think it may be too far rearwards. Ill try to get a pic of the front up soon. The H3 is just the adventure version. Tires are Bridgestone Dueler A/t 285/75/r16. As far as the crossbar, I think they are pretty good. They came with chrome "hummer" letters to put in the little squares but I only like chrome on wheels so I left them off. For $100 I can't complain. I may be out of town tomorrow but Ill try the basket in different places and post a pic of the front as well.

I have to agree with Bunger. I did it myself, it took maybe 15 minutes. I had one side about a half inch lower than the other to begin with. I can feel the difference in the way I sit. Stop lights are easier to see, and feel like im higher. The ride seems to be a little better than before. I had to go out of town but the alignment will get done in the morning. Here is the front pic you asked for Dareh.

Not sure where I like it, so for now Itll be all the way forward until I decide to move it again.

Looks great and that's not a bad price at all.
