Default Picked up new H3!

Finally picked up our new H3 this past Saturday, almost 2 months to the day after ordering. Seems like a very nice truck so far although I've only put about 50 miles on it. My wife has put more on it as it's replacing her old Grand Prix. I think the Off Road package is the best option I bought. It gives the truck a much more agressive look. The dealer had mine and 3 non-OR H3's and I really like the look. Hopefully it will have the capabilities to match. As a note, I read a lot of the controversy of adjusting the torsion bars on here. I unofficially measured our H3 with one of the other H3's and it sits about 2 inches higher in the front. The larger tires would accout for 1", but I was just wondering if the off-road suspension already has them cranked a bit. Who knows, but it was an interesting observation. I have an OEM brush guard and UCP plus a set of Rocky Road rock rails sitting in my living room. Hopefully it will warm up soon so I can get those installed. Just excited about our Hummer and thought I would share!

Congrats! The off-road package definitely gives it a meaner stance, and I have already used the lock to get up and down some interesting angles. Very competent IMO. Let's see some pics with those installed goodies so we can all get bit by the mod bug again.

welcome to the forum and congrats on the Hummer. Did you get the I5?
I got the I-5. Definitely would have liked to had the V8 and would have bought it in a heartbeat if the other end was attached to a manual tranny. My family and I have really been big fans of stickshifts for a long time. There's nothing wrong with automatics at all-- they're probably better suited to a myriad of different tasks, but there's just something about having that extra little bit of interaction with the left foot.

Will defintely post pics when I get the accessories on.

Nice truck and Welcome to the forums. Lot's of reading here to answer any questions you might come up with. Enjoy.









I forgot to ask? [&o] Since you have the rock rails waiting for an install. Could you post back what size and typemounting boltsRocky Road includes with their set? Size and thread count, plus grade if the instructions say. I have built a set, and I am waiting for the road grime/salt to clear before bolting them up, and it has been so friggin cold I do not want to lay on the groung fumbling with bollts or taps to get it right just yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
