Hi there from South Africa

[Sennin]

Think it's time for me to introduce myself :wink:

Name: Armand
age : 28
Length : 1.92 m (Jip, SI units used this side )
Weight : 115 kg (That pesky SI unit again :no
Occupation: Mechanical Engineer
Location: South Africa
Daily Drive : 2008 Mazda BT50 DC 3.0CRDi (12km/liter) bought new for $36,600
Wheeler : 2007 Hummer H3 Adventure Package (7km/liter) Bought 2nd hand for $34,600 when New they went for $60,000

My two Rides (When I went to look at the H3 for the first time :thumbs



Took the H3 for a fishing trip the first weekend and loved it :giggle:



Then The Modding Began:
* PCM for Less
* 35" Kumho Kl71's (first in South Africa to get these, even before the reps :mock
* Cranked torsion bars
* Custom UCP
* Wheeled off the stepsills :emb:
* Safari Snorkel
* ARB Winch Bar
* Warn 9500 XP winch (Getting fitted this weekend)
* Lightforce 240 HID spots (En route from the states, got it for $1001 : 2 x lights + Combo covers + wiring harness)
(Locally the asking price just for the lights are R26,995 = $3,599 :whaa::whaa::whaa

As you can see from some of the prices listed, we are being shafted this side :huh:

Here's a pic of the 3 now, still a work in progress :shifty:

Welcome from the US! I think you might be the first guy on here from south africa. Nice rig

 

[Paladine71]

Welcome to the forum! Glad that you're here. :cheers:

 

[Sennin]

Thanks guys, appreciate the welcome.

As far as my knowledge goes, there's only 3 guys down here in SA using the H3 for what it's intended for, the rest are just mall crawlers, but as the 2nd hand prices are starting to drop, more and more people are contacting me in regards to the H3's offroad ability, so slowly but surely I'm converting people this side :thumbs:

I would love to join you guys one day, as the closets track we have this side resembling Moab is Koos se Klip (koos's Rock) at Moegatle, got some photo's of it in my garage.

Great looking H3! Love the bumper & snorkel. I came across pictures of your H3 on an Off Road forum in South Africa and fell in love with it. Keep the pictures coming.
