Guess I'll get things started in here.
Hi all & welcome to the H3T section, I never did a build post on mine so here's my 09 H3T. I don't have pics for every thing (damn noobs
) but I'll update it when I can.
First week - I picked it up the begining of January 2009 from Reeves Hummer in Tampa (remember when there used to be Hummer dealers)
First real offroad trip with was in April 2009, joined big2dabank (Jeff) @ a Wheelers for the wounded event @ Hardrock in Ocala. had alot of fun & Jeff helped me give the T a good test run the first day :cheers: then threw me to the wolves the second day & left me alone w/ a bunch of heeps. This is when I learned the T's were wheel base challenged (Glad I got the Adv Pack as the F & R lockers helped alot). Jason, the event organizer used to have a Hummer so I stuck w/ him & everyone else in the group was great even though they had play bumper monkey & pull me over a few spots.
first bit of dirt
Jeff scaring the s*** out of me & his dad, hint pick the right gear before starting up the hill so you don't roll back scaring the noob!
(scared himself alittle too I think)
dang long wheel base, rock rails & all the under body armor you can find are a must if plan to wheel your T
Thrown to the wolves, a lonely T & Ford ranger
On to some mods - On the outside I've added some of the usual stuff, SMA brush guard, body color grill, Diamondback bed cover, locking fuel door, tail & side maker light guards & a custom front hitch w/ removable winch mount. Armor add ons are Rockyroad rails soon to be replaced w/ some Ridgedemon ones (get to welding Brodie :corn factory UCP, a full set of Hunner skids & Rubberduck diff skid.
On the inside - some extra storage w/ a BA seat pack which I'm going to move to the passenger side as I took a play out of paladin's book & picked up the Smittybuilt GEAR cover for the drivers seat & a Daystar dash caddy. Electronics include Midland portable CBs & a pair of GMRS/FRS radios, Garmin handheld GPS, scan guage & RAD1 inclinometer I don't use the last 2 much cuase I still can't decide on a good place to mount them. And guess I'll throw the perfomance mods in here as well which are an Airdoc intake & PCMforless tune
Ok hopefuly that'll keep you entertained for a bit I'll add wheeling pics along the way.
