New stuff but have a question

[Savethereef]

So I'm picking g up so e stuff today. But have a question. My h2 is a 2005 and picking up a gobi rack tonight. I do t k is what year H2 SUV it came off of but are all sizes the same?

I'm getting Ranger rack with spare tire adapter.
It has 4 PIAA light on fron and two on back.
Gobi axe and shovel adapters
Jack adapter
U step rings
Gobi tool box
Gobi tie straps

Ahhhh the one from craigslist in the IE? As long as it is off of a SUV and not a SUT you will be fine with it fitting

 

[Timgco]

The fairings are different for different years. Outside of that, GOBi offers 3 length racks. SUT, SUV, and shorty.

 

[Savethereef]

Cool thanks guys. I'm headed to pick up now. Ones I have my equipment down I can join you big boys on the trail.

 

[Savethereef]

Just took this. Last virgin shot before gear goes on!

Looking forward to the "after" pics!

Well we installed it last night. Took us 2 hrs to do it. I underestimated the weigh of the rack. But went on with out problems. I'll take pics to Oreos as it was raining today. Now what is the best place to get the lights wired at near long beach ca? Would like to have someone that has done h2's before. About how much does it run to install? Have four front PIAA and two back lights. All the wiring is labeled and labels on ballast. Just need to put thru pillars.

Anthony at AAMCO is a good resource. But why do you need outside help? This should be fairly straightforward work and perhaps easier than you might think.

 

[Savethereef]

I have a bad experience doing electrical on an old car of mine. I fried all the wiring on my stereo in the past. So would really pay a professional shop to do it. What city is this AMCO in? I've heard of Anthony on the board before.

 

[alrock]

He doesn't post here too often but posts under "AAMCO". You can PM him or some of the other SoCal guys like Zach and cbetts would know.

 

[Savethereef]

Well they will do it at AAMCO for me. Thanks.
I also picked up a new brush guard in addition to the rack.
Here are the pictures

The truck looks great!

 

[Zach]

The 2 is looking good Robert.

 

[Savethereef]

Thanks guys. Now I'm wondering what else I can change on it. Already have DVD , HID's, rims, stereo system and exhaust. Any thing else worth changing or adding to it?

IMO I would surely change the Tie Rods and Center Link with Kryptonites:

Are you planning on wheeling it?

 

[Savethereef]

Yup I plan too. I am planning to get 20 inch rock stars for looks but will keeps stocks for wheeling.

Tie rods are a given. I am running the rare parts tie rods. Same maker as the kryptonites but not as stout. Give me a call when you get a chance and we can talk, you have my number.

 

[LagunaH1]

If you plan on wheeling your H2 then I'd suggest you seriously consider removing those nerf bars.

 

[alrock]

Of course! My bad

 

[Savethereef]

Yeah those would be removed for wheeling only then put back on for daily.
I dropped my car off for all fluids changed on differential and middle section. Getting air filter replaced and 6 HID roof lights wired up.

I think after that will do spark plugs and wires as I'm am about to hit 100,000 miles. What plugs/wires do you guys recommend?

 

[Zach]

Personally, I would stick with the OEM Delco Iridium plugs. Have had no issues at all with them.
