Sounds like the pure dealer profit to me. You could do it yourself for far less and know it's done right.

Sounds like you bought from Lund, Legends or Kachina here in Phx with their legendary Desert Protection Package.
Bought it from Kachina through Costco. I live about 3 hours away but had to go to Phx to get it because Kachina had a rep that worked with Costco customers.

If you read the manual on resetting the TPMS, you'll see you only mess with the four tires on the ground. Hence, it is not monitoring the spare. Your spare should be able to be flat and not have the TPMS go off.
Well, according to the all knowing service tech rep it was the spare causing the light to go on and off intermittantly and all four ground tires were fine.

As for the desert protection package, heck to be honest all I know is that I MUST take it back to Kachina and no other dealer as they put it on. I have to admit that after they cleaned / recoated the H3 it looked nice but it was also $900 and I was told I had no choice, they put it on all their vehicles.

I am sure you are correct about that.

It sound like just a good coat of wax with some some clear coat UV protection?

Maybe like a suncreen with SPF 30+


$900 sounds kind of high to me

Three hours? What direction? I do some wheeling every now and then with the local X club. If you like to go wheeling we'd love to have you out, especially if we're headed in your direction. Even better if you have a well stocked beer fridge!

I live in Sierra Vista, about 3 hours Southeast of Phoenix, I am basically on the Mexican border as the crow flies.

There are a lot of wonderful areas to off-road around here. So far I have not been to to many because my wife is at 27 weeks in her pregnancy and I have been working so much I just have not had time. I have been off road a few times, I even have some pictures of my last jaunt, I should post them.

Are there any other people or Hummer Clubsin the Tucson/Sierra Vista that anyone knows of?
