Rookie from Socal!

[joekicksit]

I have a Yellow 06 H3!
I recently made a rookie mistake of getting new tires before thinking about how big they should have been since I would like to lift my H3!
I'm not mechanically savvy so any help you guys can provide I'm all ears!
I had read on here about leveling an H3 by doing a "t-bar" adjustment and wanted to know how much that would cost to do?
I want to lift my hummer soon and get an alignment afterwards.
I just started taking my h3 into the dirt/mud to mess around and I loved it and want to be able to keep up with my friends and their done up jeeps/trucks
I want to have an off-roading beast and it will probably take me a while to be able to actualize it (financial reasons) but I want to do it and I hope you guys can help me out
Advice on what works best with my h3 would be highly appreciated! and of course I will begin to search through the forums for things that i'm interested in as well!

Welcome! Lots of SoCal people here. You can crank your t-bars for free. I didn't get an alignment afterwards I just checked my toe. And yes just ask, lots of helpful people here!

Welcome... A Tbar crank is free. I got the lifetime alignment from Firestone for 165.00. It is a good thing to have.

Welcome to the forums. The torsion bar crank is the way to go, just make sure you get an alignment afterwards.

"eco Crusaders"? that's a first for me. Are they tree huggers with axes?
Any ways, welcome from the LBC area.

Welcome from Co. Also don't crank the Tbars to much, mine about 23 5/8". And if you need help spendin your money on mods, you came to the right place

Sorry for the late response just finished with finals!
And yea I've had a few priuss try to block me in and not let me pass them. One time I had guy block me in and I could see him turning to look at me so I made my way into his lane and got right next to him till he almost hit the curb :mock: ahaha


Besides that I was wondering what you guys think about HIDs if they look good or not.

IMHO, the good ones are expensive. For daily driving I have Silver Stars. I personally hate the extra bright blue light they throw at me on So Cal freeways. Save the super brights for the LED's when you hit the trails.

My buddy's dad has an auto shop and he told me he could get HIDS for my H3 at whole sale price so i'll ask him if he can get silver stars at whole sale price! thanks!!

I haven't been to one of these events yet with these guys. I have been to others with my others trucks. But make it if you can, no better place to see hands on what others have done and ask questions. I plan on being there if we're not at a tournament.
