Not a problem. I haven't even unwrapped them yet...thought I would have less chance of losing something that way. When I do though, I'll definitely post it.

 

Welcome and congrats

 

Welcome! I am a new hummer owner as well. I have a 07 H3 adv/lux. I am also interested in the rocky road supersliders. Let us know how it goes!

 

Welcome there!

Congrats on the new purchase, time to get some aftermarket parts! ;D

 

I put on the extras this past weekend. To answer the question on the mounting of the Rocky Roads, I think they are 10mm standard thread. I say that I think because I didn't actually have any metric dies, gages, or nuts to check for sure. I don't think I would try to re-tap anything. Just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get a 10mm and a 12mm and see what fits in the threaded hole on the frame. Sorry I got impatient to get them on and didn't get you a firm answer on the size. Just too excited! I can tell you for sure that they are class 8.8 (roughly equivalent to a standard Grade 5 bolt). That surprised me a little. As much stress as they could potentially be under I probably would have gone with a class 10.9 fastener. I trust that Rocky Road knows what they are doing and went ahead with the 8.8's.

I took some pictures of the install to help people out which I'll post in a new thread soon.Trust me, it's not that hard, but I had acouple tips that made a 2 man job an easy20 minute1 man job. Just to touch on the rails, I can not figure out for the life of me why they only use 3 of the 4 available mounts. All in all, I think they are a good product and look great on the H3, but their were a couple little things that bothered me. I'll go into more detail in a coming thread.

And finally, thanks again for the warm welcome from everyone!

Nice looking truck, thinking about ditching the nerf bars for the Rocky's myself

 

I just installedsome nurf bars and all the tappings in the frame are 10mm standard thread.The bolts for the nurf bars were 1-1/4" long if I remember correctly. I just looked for the directions but must have thrown them out. I would use at least that length for the Rocky Roads and the best grade I could find. I put "Never-seez" on the threads so I can remove them easily when I buy the Rocky Roads myself. Hope this helps you out.

 

Thanks you guys. I've got somethin to work with now. When the weather changes (soon I hope, I'm tired of shoveling snow), I'll be ready to put mine on.

A thread sealer is a very good idea!

 

Welcome and congrats
