Default My story and how I arrived. (56K HEAVY)

I haven't posted on this site much in the past, but some of the other sites are getting on my nerves a bit.. So I figured I would "man-up" and post a couple of pics of my new stuff and post a quick boring story, since most here haven't seen me before.. (not thatI am something to see! )

I bought my first 06' H3 in November from Bachman Hummer in Louisville, KY. It was a boulder gray base with chome wheels and not much more. After reading a lot of threads I decided I needed at least the Adventure package... For what? I don't know.. Just to have I guess.. lol

December 23rd I woke up and called Lynch Hummer in STL and they had the one I was looking for, I went down to Circuit City to have them uninstall the AVIC-D1 and camera they just installed 5 days ago and told them I would be back tomorrow with my new H3 an they will be putting it all back in the new one. (You should have seen the faces I saw!)

To shortenthis up, I get the new H3, an 06 Boulder Gray with Lux and Adv. I talked them into throwing a brush guard into the deal and I purchased the marker lights as well. Wed. after Christmas, the brush guard and lights arrive and I install them Friday. Saturday, the hood handles show up and I popped them on as well.

The other day, I had a friend of mine install rear marker lights on it as well.. I really like how it looks. Here are a couple of pics of the old and new.

Enjoy.

Thoughts, opinions on the rear marker lights and hood handles welcomed. (good or bad)



First H3





Current H3

That looks awsome. I love the rear marker lights. Did you just install generic ones or are they made for the H3?

Bought them from a truck supply place here in town.. For all of them, it was like 49 dollars.. All bulbs are LED's.
