I get tons and tons of compliments from other "youths" trust me, there is still passion for the HUMMER brand.

Thats a surprise bc I'm a "youth" owning a bright yellow hummer h3 and the majority of times all i hear about is gas guzzling! Literally all i hear about if my hummer is ever mentioned is gas usage so we look up about what my vehicle gets compared to theirs and its near even with all the jeep owners so that shuts em up for a while!

All of my friends love mine. I'm 22 with the majority of friends being in the 18-25 age group. Maybe it depends on your location too

My 1" Wheel spacers arrived, and i was more then pleased with their quality. Billet aluminum, lug centric, and came with lug centric lugnuts not flat ones. But when I jacked up my rig and took a tire off and put on the spacer I realized that my wheel studs poked out past the spacer. I did my research before hand and realized that this meant i had to trim the studs. I started with a hack saw and realized there was no way in hell i was doing this to all 24 studs I bought a reciprocating saw, which sped up the process. I cut them all down to size and cleaned them up with a dremel, I put the spacers on added some red loctite and tightened them to 100 ft/lbs. I bought these to get rid of rubbing after my tires took off a chunk of the plastic behind my bumped ANNNNDDDD.... ITS GONE. Also I have a bit of a wider stance and gives my HUMMER more of a lifted look. I drove 200 miles took my tires back off and made sure everything was still torqued to specs and it was, so i'm considering them safe for now. Next I have an all new sound system coming in, picked up those 2 12" subs. I wish I would have put it to offroading mods now that i'm going to be 500$ into my sound system. I'll post pictures/videos when that is done!

-The first Picture is with spacer(right) without (left).

I forgot to say that I also have 35W 6000K HID's coming too, i'm hoping they wont melt my oracles. But i'm pretty sure that they don't burn any hotter than my ZXE's. Attached is the new sound system minus speakers haven't decided what to go with, if any of you would like to help. I mostly listen to metal, rock, and country.

The new stance looks great!
Remember to torque ur spacers at every tire rotation and after you wheel. Even the highest quality spacers are dangerous if you don't do the proper maintenance!

After you install the hids can you tell me how you like them and if they work well

The HID's are well worth the 44$, they are much more brighter then the ZXE's. I wish I would have taken the 55$ I spent on those and got some for my fogs too. install took about an hour, mostly because I ripped apart one of the plugs while trying to unplug it. Then trying to mount everything was a PITA and I ended up using more duct tape then screws. But overall this product is great so far, although I though it came with high and low beams, but it did not. They are BRIGHT white, with little to no blue. They match the color of my oracles perfectly.

I was asked to show how I did the american flag mod. Buy some of those flags from Walmart, detach it from the stick slice little hole in it, then zip tie it down to your antenna. Then wallah you have a great rally flag.

I'm pissed now I should've gotten the hid conversion when my headlight went out... Instead I got the sylvania silverstar ultra about the same price but the hids looks so much better

I installed my after market radio, all you have to do is buy a GM-4004 wiring harness, and match the wires by color. Then you need to run the power wire to your fuse box, my radio stays on all the time, but I left it on for 24 hours and my battery didn't die. So for now it doesn't bother me. My amp should be in tomorrow so i'll be installing those and most likely ordering some new speakers and do those as well. Next on my list of mods is a 50" light bar with G2led mounts once I get the money.

Your radio is gonna kill your battery

Because I don't have a fancy wiring harness, but I want to be able to listen to music while the car isn't on. If it's actually going to do harm to my battery, I can switch it to a fuse that gets power once the engine is on. I just assumed that it wouldn't do any harm, it's been on for around 48 hours now and nothing has happened.

When you say on do you mean it's getting power but turned off or do you mean its still actually screen on and music playing?

I changed it with the ignition fuse, so now it only turns on when i turn the car on, but before it just showed the time. No music playing or anything. I changed it to fuse #33 because when I get my amp and subs installed, I don't want them to constantly be draining my battery.

I blew my radio fuse #13 and replaced it, but I can't figure out how to wire my subs for the life of me. Nothing is working, I've tried twisting every wire possible together to get power to my amp. I'm thinking maybe I blew a fuse on my amp too, or something like that. So i'm just going to go to the audio shop. There are some pretty cool dudes there, I'm going to see since I already have everything run and wired up if they would finish installing my subs if I buy some new speakers from them. Hopefully they'll go along with it. Or if someone on here could help me that would be great. I have a GM-4004 wiring harness Pioneer GM-8601 amp and 2 12" Pioneer championship series subs. I've tried hooking my controller wire to both the yellow wire, red wire, and amp in wire. But nothing will power it on.
