RE: LIFT KITS ????
Injun - a little off topic, but I saw you were planning on going with a 39.5 Irok down the road - depending on how many miles you put on your rig, thats a really soft tire for something as heavy as these are. I had a set of 37" bias ply iroks that I got 8000 miles out of followed by a set of 37" radials that last for 12000 on my last dodge diesel. They are great offroad though... I still run the 42" Bias plies on my rover, which is about as heavy as the H1. Its an offroad only vehicle, though. Just an FYI.

3Hummers I have seen a few of Injuns videos and his truck does get worked to say the least. LOL
My 03 is a little to pretty for me to do doing all of that. I stick to mud/Water pits that don't go over my hood LOL
I am actually looking for a 2 door pick up to build as a serious off road machine.
I am having serious trouble finding one anywhere???????
Any idea's???

there was a 2dr for sale when i was shopping around for my H1... it was mid 30's I almost ended up with that, but decided 2 pass is not enough...
And im not that bad to wheel with i keep it tame if need be...
Also fsr I heard that the Iroks are pretty decent life span wise on H1's but yea I am currently running Goodyear MT's 37" also have 8 rims all together so i might run 2 sets of tires one for wheelin and one for daily driving. I was hoping to get some boggers for wheelin but the 39.5's are too wide for my rim and dunno if i would like the idea of going from 39.5 street tire to 38.5 offroad tire...

Clearance. When doing trails with large rocks, one of the most common ways I have seen Hummers get hung up is by dropping the rear bumper onto rocks on departure. I have even seen one truck get hung up very badly by getting a rock wedged between the rear tire and the bumper.

I plan to do similar thing when I do my body lift.... look a whole lot better and definately functional... but just curious why didnt you extend your bumper totally across? I know full length bumper is what saved my body from sliding back into trees

...I closed the gap by modifying the frame after doing my body lift, but that is a bit extreme for most regular Hummer folks, since it involves cutting and welding...

Yeah, I was thinking that was the reason. Have you ever considered an exocage around your rear area? I have been considering it lately I have smacked the driver side rear panel twice in the same place now due to trees... I would have really messed up the rear and tail lights etc if it wasnt for my bumper.

3 Hummer I cannot find a 2 door anywhere right now. I found 1 really really cool x military hummer on "XHummer.com" but the guy wants like 80K for a 95 because it has been restored, that's crazy!!!!!!
