Default My modifications thus far on my H3T

1. all-weather Hummer floor mats
2. Roof rack and rails
3. Rocky Mount Utility Rail bicycle rack
4. Factory fork locking bicycle roof rack
5. Torsion Bar Crank to 23 5/8

Today I am installing the Cognito front shocks and 1/2" bump stops then swinging on down to Tire Kingdom where 5 BFG TA/KOs in size 295/75/16 await my black H3T. I couldn't pass up $195/tire.

6. Dark Smoke OEM H3T sidesteps: I love the look of the H3T w/o the steps but my wife and kids just can't manage to comfortably get into my beast and it's gonna be even harder with the new rubber. These arrive tomorrow. Once I start wheeling the beast, I'll just need to take the steps off.

Next weeks arrivals:
7. Pioneer Avic X710BT Nav Head Unit
8. Pioneer Premier 6.5 front speakers and 6x9 rear speakers
9. Pioneer Ipod Interface and GMOS-1 interface to retain On-star and bluetooth and rest of factory chimes, etc.
10. Defenderwerx black Hummer locking fuel door.

This should keep me happy for awhile. I'll post pics after everything is done.

I have posted pictures in several other threads and plan on doing a build thread that shows the transition from what my "T" looked like the day I drove it off the lot and what it looks like now.

The only mods left on my list which haven't been completed are:
1) Installation of the Pioneer Avic X710BT Nav Head Unit (they sent me the wrong OnStar interface cable. I should have it sometime next week.

2) Defenderwerx black locking fuel door (ordered from gstyle4u.com yesterday, ask for Clarence, great guy to deal with) which should be arriving next week also.

So far, I am very pleased with the outcome, look, and performance of each of the mods I have done. Like I said, should have completed build thread going up sometime next week.

Gardaddy,

I will take some detailed pictures for you over the weekend and post them here for you. Most of the accessories that were supposed to be available for the H3T utility rails never went to production because of GMs uncertainty with Hummer. I used the Rockymounts "locking clutch sd" utility rail fork mount system
http://rockymounts.com/clutch

This is really made to fit Tacoma and Frontier bed channels but I had a machine shop make a mounting plate for the wider H3T rails and easily and inexpensively adapted this to my H3T. Essentially a rectangular mounting plate inserts into the channel of the rails and then the bike holder secures to the plate behind the rails with torx bolts. The locking quick release makes the system somewhat theft deterrent.

Default Bike Rack Mod

Thats a very good solution for the bike rack FloridaFeMan.

Maybe if you showed your mod to Rockymounts they could do the same thing and sell it as a Hummer bike rack?

FloridaFeMan,

thanks for the details on the bike rack! A picture is always great!
This will certainly help me with my bikes.
