Disregard the one chrome mirror and one black, decided to do a test on the drivers side

 

[MustangGirl666]

[ArtHummer]

Ordered tie rods to get ready for new tires. Was going to order the Dmax Krytonite tie rods but Rare Parts just released there new Gen 2 tie rods a few days ago that are 1.5" diameter and the Kryptonite use a 1.125" adjuster. They also use same inner rod end as the Kryptonite. Made in the USA by the same company too. The rare parts were also a $100 cheaper shipped, so seemed like a no brainer.

Picked up a set of new in box E&G flares this week for $350!

 

[MustangGirl666]

New OEM taillight guards came today, unlike most of the designs there is no 3m tape with these

Removed rear bumper lights to have them tinted to match the rest of the lights

Installed the Boulder Accessories bumper today, next purchase a Warn winch! Also blacked out the mirrors

Bit of a surprise! I got a deal of a lifetime, I got four 38x15.5x18 Mud Grapplers with 75% tread for FREE! How? They came mounted on Weld wheels which are over $2200 new, have a buyer for the wheels and the tires will end up costing me nothing.


Here is a teaser picture til Tuesday. Few adjustment still to be made

Ordering black 18" Method Standard wheels soon so I can get the Weld wheels off for the buyer

 

[ArtHummer]

WOW. This look so much wider. Are you sure it's not going to rub? Looks awesome do :thumbs:

 

[MessiaH2]

You got yours WAY cheaper then me... FANTASTIC TIRES...lol They are a bit noisy but i prefer it that way.

Mine have not rubbed yet. I would suggest you to get 4.5 offset rims. If you ever lift it they will require this offset. I have the 6" FabTec list and LOVE it. Good luck, both trucks look great! LARRY

 

[RamRod]

oh wow! That sure makes it look far more aggressive!

 

[MustangGirl666]

Update, how it sits now

Swapped roof light covers, going to add yellow HUMMER lettering to them to match H3. Ordered brush guard light mounts. Black 18" Method Standard wheels are on order. Next item to order is a matching spare tire and wheel, then a winch.

 

[Hunner]

Thanks

 

[ArtHummer]

Love the new look :thumbs:

 

[MessiaH2]

Did you get any offset on those rims?
Is that without any lift at all?

 

[MustangGirl666]

Picked up a pair of Cognito upper control arms with new in box Moog ball joints for $200.

Taillight guards installed, rear bumper lights tinted / installed, and dyed rear bumper black

E&G flares installed

 

[MustangGirl666]

Yes the new wheels I have coming have a 4.5" back spacing for when I added a rancho lift in the future. There is a total of 3" of lift right now

 

[MustangGirl666]

Also changed all the bulbs to LED to compensate for the tint


Taillights before, yes lol there actually on but you can barely see them. Note lower bumper lights were not tinted yet

Back up lights before

Taillights, back up lights, and marker lights after LED bulbs

Front after, I don't have a before shot

Getting some Fox dual shocks later this week for free! No details yet, stay tuned! Next purchase is a matching spare tire and wheel, lol it's driving me nuts with out one right now.

 

[WillieMo]

The E&G Flares look great...

 

[RamRod]
