TAPDH3T's H3T Build

[4speedfunk]

Same here. I'll sell you a "builder kit". Expect lots of cutting...lots of welding...some cussing...some head-scratching. My current design is coil-spring & shock only...but, I can delete the coil spring stuff if you want to run coil-overs instead. It uses a GM Dana 44 housing, ABS compatible, retains stock H3 brake system, yada yada. Prices are all over the place...depends on what parts you want...and how crazy you want to get with your axle build. I'de say starting at $700 for a basic bracket kit...up to $9000 for a full-tilt cro-mo shafted, locked, pre-assembled axle and all the goodies.

Later this summer I'll be removing the axle you see in that video. It will be for sale at some point...either stand-alone or with a complete suspension. Its been installed for over a year...works great...5.13 geared, Eaton E-locker, stock GM 3/4t shafts, Warn lock-outs, HD yoke, Flat-tops, Cast rock cover. Its been a great axle but I have a new hi-pinion version ready to swap in.

The new axle has Eaton's 4-spider E-locker (just released), Yukon shafts and super-joints, plus I'll be adding ram-assist to the steering. I want to try to drop the lift down an inch or so during the swap, and I plan to finally add some sway-bars to the mix. Not sure when I'll get around to it. Soon I hope.

One day I will need to forget my T at your garage (that's what I'll tell the GF) with enough money to cover the cost of the SAS in the glove box and let you have at it!

If u can get a kit ready were I can just cut and weld that would be awesome.. I would rather do buisness with u anyway lol.. Man if ur going to dump that system and it will be this summer shoot me a quote lol... That will help pay for the new system lmao...

Just noticed you took off your brush guard. You wouldn't be selling it, would you?

Line X w/ UV protection is the only answer.

That's the game plan.. Paint is ordered. I also felt a lil froggy and picked these up.. Wait till ya see it..

 

[TAPDH3T]

So this has nothing to do with off-roading.. BUT will make my T standout from the rest.... Now that they are in place it's time for tear down and paint..

 

[benlaud87]

I figured that's what you were doing when I saw the picture of the bolts. I saw one h3 with that done. That looks good

geez I want your truck haha

 

[Cajun_Tiger_Hummer]

Just my opinion, I think it would be badass if you line-x'ed over the fenders and bolts together. So it's all one piece.

I'm doing the fenders.. Can't decide if I want to do te bolts the same or flat black them so there is a lil contrast...
