Mr. Red Roc'T the Metamorphosis

[H3slate]

Wow!! Are you lifting the truck to fit the 37's? Or just stuffing them under there and going for it?

He forgot to post a step, note the slight gap at the front and rear bumpers :shifty:

I thought the same thing the first time I watched it!:giggle:

Day 14: Mr. Red Roc'T had his new shoes installed.

Before:

After:

Mr. "T" is @ 24" now without the bumper, winch and Rock Rails, Mr. Red Roc'T next to him. "T" is @ 11 1/4 to the lowest point of the front diff skid plate. Red Roc'T is @ 12.5" with the half shafts almost paralell. I'm thinking maybe a 1/4" to a 1/2" more (@22 3/4" now)of T-bar cranking once the bumper, winch and Rock Rails are installed.

Lots-O-Stuff coming this weekend. Stay tuned!

Looks awesome! How much do those tires rub at full lock?

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

[BW_Hummer H3]

[4speedfunk]

Right now @ full stuff and full lock they rub a little on the inner fener well plastic up front. I will be trimming that anyway for the BA bumper/winch install later this week.:thumbs:

KUSTOM!:shifty:

It would be very difficult for me to get the time off of work to be in Rausch Creek next weekend then PA AND Attica, IN the next weekend. With my recent promotion I am the "new guy" and I have to set an example for my team and the plant.
Plus, I committed to the Rausch Creek trip last April 4th just before leaving RC after the April Fools 2011 trip.

Day 15 (well night 15): Had 1 heck of a week @ work so I got home @ 8am and slept until 3pm. Needed that!

Picked up our BA bumper and RR Sliders tonight from the Media Blaster Guy. Picked up Duplicolor Bed Armor Kit and some spray cans. Rolling the Sliderz and spraying the BA. We will see how it holds up. I went with the Duplicolor kit and spray becaus I am a DIY guy and it is the only one I found that could be "touched up" with the original product without removing/sanding the existing coating. The product will bond to itself even after it is cured. A bonus for Rock Rails and Front Bumpers!

Prep: cleaned everything with brake cleaner and wiped down with lint free rags. According to all that I have read about the Duplicolor Bed Armor no etching primer is needed (plus the media blasting etched it for me).

I know you all want pix so there they are (YES, my garage is TRASHED, I have been trying to work on 3 HUMMERs, 2 R&R for sale and the build of Mr. Red Roc'T):

Media Blasted BA

Duplicolor Kit

BA First Coat

BA Second Coat

RR Sliders First Coat (will have to wait until tomorrow fo the 2nd):

Nurse bars may come off tomorrow if I wake up early and recoat the sliders and they dry in time!!!

 

[Ron46]

looks really good :cheers:

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

Bedliner looks great on the bumper and sliders Mark. Look forward to pics of them installed.

 

[erdlen65]

Lookin bad a$$ man! If your bed armour peals or chips duplicolor will send you replacements for free no questions

 

[cgalpha08]

So Mutaint, when are you and cb going to start producing BA bumpers?

Id buy one

[MUTAINT]

NEVER, they would cost to much to reproduce and neither of us have a metal fab shop to call our own.

 

[Gunner_45]

Obviously it is just a matter of personal taste .... but I sure like the look and finer texture of that bed liner over the LineX.
Nice touch welding the grill guard to the bumper.
