ReconH3 Build Thread v2.0

O, I know what I'm dreaming about tonight.

If your truck is covered with mud and the tires are bald in the morning, I had nothing to do with it!

 

[ReconH3]

I hope you can handle my security system that's equipped with an M95.

Those 37's look small!:wink: Your truck is beyond HUMMER porn!

40's...dam 35's just fit on mine with trimmed flares. I'd have the sawsall out for 37's. Guessing you got the gearing finished. Way to cool what you have done to your truck.

If all works out it should be done by the end of today. Those Hutchinsons take forever!!!!!

AMG is looking to sell new hummer or hmmwv without the engine -- if they have the hummer brand maybe you could sell the the blue print for their next hummer model, looking forward to the next 6 months build

One down. 4 to go. First one took 6 hours to figure out the best way to pull apart and reassemble. Next took 2 hours. By the last one we should have it down to 1 hour.

Fine - you "go girl" with your 40's :giggle: I guess I'll have to go some 42"s :horns:

J/K of course, I figured 39.5's will be a large as I can go.

 

[ReconH3]

Any bigger and you have to start doing some serious hacking. That or get a body lift.

 

[Bigunit]

Holy Jeebus, that's SWEEEET!

 

[Hunner]

Was going to but when I mounted the wheels in the back, it looks like it's not going to rub. Had I had the factory offset I would definitely have to hack it off. These wheels are offset enough that they clear it.

Glad to see your state side again Al. Can't wait to see pics with the new 40's. We're the tires and gears done by 4 Wheel Parts in Raleigh, NC?

Done! Here it is sitting on 40s! Tires were done at 4Wheel Parts but the gears were done at East Coast Gear Supply.

 

[cgalpha08]

Your rig is truly hummer porn and looks so amazingly beastly!!

 

[j3jackson]

Wow. Thats bad!

 

[ReconH3]

Immediately ramped it to see if it's rubbing. I hit 1100 without deflating the tires or running lockers!!! Even the spare sits perfectly.

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

Wow it looks great Al! I asked if the tires were done at 4WP because I saw a picture of your H3 was posted by a 4WP employe the other day.

Front wheel fits perfectly. No rubbing anywhere.

The rear is a tight fit but the rubbing is very minimal. With some centering I can get it right on.

 

[Bigunit]

:holymoly
OK Al, now that you FINALLY put the 40s on, I'll take you up on your offer to buy your rig! :drool: PLEASE!!!!!! I can live with the rubbing of the rear tires!

 

[ReconH3]

Get in line

 

[Hunner]

Uh that's gonna sound like the old playing cards in the spokes trick!
Really will they fit in that hole?
Got a sawzall?
