Impressive list!

How about:
Hunner skids
Artec dual battery mount
Optima dual batteries with power management
Winch
Trade the 48" hi-lift for a 60" hi-lift xtreme
Upgraded exhaust

:huh:

 

[Pappibri]

All that is Courtesy of you lovely girlfriend Carolann? Does she have a Sister... You are blessed to have such a understanding woman by your side.... Nice mod list...:thumbs: I will be waiting to see how this turns out...

 

[Bigunit]

Great list you have started there. Paldine71 mentioned 3 things that I was going to add to the list: Hunner skids, winch & a 60" hi-lift xtreme instead of the 48" jack.

Might as well add:

1. CB radio
2. tomp/TD low profile rear shock mounts (if you can find a set)
3. compare the Roc Doc rear diff cover to the ARB diff cover: http://rocdoc.net/Product_one.htm
4. ARB awning (mounted to the Gobi w/Gobi awning brackets)
5. Gobi jerry can mount system
6. jerry cans (water & gas)

 

[alrock]

Second the additions above (for example, 48" is too short), plus I would add heavier duty leaf springs with your rig, whether you choose a lift, SOA, etc.
Also - rear LEDs, maybe a Rigid 10" SR series
Rock lights
OTRATTW switches for the lights
Blue Sea Systems power block
Interior storage box for cargo area
Custom UCP

 

[Schwarttzy]

6. Rocky Road Sliders

Just my opinion. I not a fan of Rocky Road Sliders because the they do not protect the entire rocker panel and the mounts are just not made with thick enough steel take the abuse I would put them through.

I am bias towards the ones I build which are over kill, look really clean on the H3, and only cost $180 more.

 

[kflips]

Just buy an H3T alpha with adventure package and you will be all set >>>>>

List looks great, UCP, strong slider rails and winch would be my top actions

 

[TAPDH3T]

I agree with Kflips!!! Get u a T and just say it!!! DONE lol

I totally forgot to add a winch on my list but that was def in the plans. Forgot Hunner Skids too, I tend to forget things once the list grows so big! Dual Batteries are prolly gonna happen but I have heard about Optimas being a pain in the A$$ lately from some friends. They have been giving them trouble as far as keeping a charge and when it dies (if it does) you have to have a battery charger made by them to recharge them. Not really sure I wanna deal with that. And an upgraded custom exhaust comes with my engine swap. But great ideas!

All that is Courtesy of you lovely girlfriend Carolann? Does she have a Sister... You are blessed to have such a understanding woman by your side.... Nice mod list...:thumbs: I will be waiting to see how this turns out...

No she is the only girl in her family, and well grandpa spoiled her, and well she loves me so much I guess I get the rewards! +1 for me haha! And don't worry with all this there will be a nice LONG build thread!

CB Radio is already in the truck, love going down the hwy talking to truckers! haha! Skids... Well I have looked everywhere, and just can't find them. But depending on how the talk goes with the guys Recon recommended, I may not need them if I do a SOA conversion! And I took a look at the Roc Doc, nothing against Doc (love my Air Doc btw), but I just like the look, and the use and abuse my friends have put them through (thus their word of how it works) vs something that I dont know. ARB Awning was again something I forgot to add. The Jerry cans are not something I'm gonna do right now, I haven't had any problems (knock on wood) where I needed something like this in a Jerry Can. But again thanks for the idea!

Second the additions above (for example, 48" is too short), plus I would add heavier duty leaf springs with your rig, whether you choose a lift, SOA, etc.

Def gonna either add a leaf if i use stock springs, but I thought using the new springs rancho came out with this year for a SOA would prolly do the trick just fine. Am i wrong in thinking that? Rear Lights again something I forgot (got caught up in my 40 in bar haha). OTRATTW switches were the ones I was looking for, couldn't remember the name of them to save my life! Thanks Alex!! Interior Box is something I'm going to build later once I get into a house. I have an idea in my head of what I want it to look like but I dont have the proper tools or saws i need to make the dang thing! but it will happen! And I have a friend that works in a fab shop so once all these goodies are installed, he and I are gonna come up with a custom UCP. And whats the BSS power block for? Got a link for it so I can research it?

Just my opinion. I not a fan of Rocky Road Sliders because the they do not protect the entire rocker panel and the mounts are just not made with thick enough steel take the abuse I would put them through.

Got a picture of them? Maybe I might buy a set from ya if I really like them! But again I have reviews from friends on these sliders, so it might be hard to part from getting these, but I'm always open to ideas!

Not ever happening, I have a certain few reasons I'm keeping this truck. It's got me through a lot of crap, so I intend to keep Ms. Stacey (my H3) around for awhile! But who knows I may just buy a T later in life! I'm only 25 I got a ways to go... hopefully!! LOL

The Blue Sea Systems fuse block is an accessory block so you don't have all of your wires running off of the battery. Let's you add a fuse for each circuit. Nice way to clean up the wiring. http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Syst...342064877&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+sea+fuse+block

 

[SC_Hummer_Gal]

So all these ideas are great for him, all he does is look at things for the hummer and when I get home from work he takes hours showing me he wants. So I finally told him to make a list and by the start of Aug I need it to make the orders started to have it ready for him by his birthday. He really just needs to make his hummer a REAL HUMMER, let it be the best it can be! HA! Keep up with the ideas

That is def something I could use considering all the crap I'm gonna have running off the batteries. Great find!

 

[SC_Hummer_Gal]

Thanks for the add Alex!! It's gonna help my brain fill up with Hummer Crazyness!

That awning is awesome!! But would that be able to be mounted to a Gobi?

Yep, here is a pic of my foxwing fitted to GOBI Ranger. (I used the ARB fitting kit & mounted to the two bars that go across the top)
