im not going to crazy it's going to be my everyday driver. anyway i'm way over budget*right now. just the hood cost $1500. the suspension perfect and i can fit 35' with just a leveling kit. I'm disappointed that AM general doesn't make it. but it look capable offroad just a posi in the rear no lockers.

Trailblazer frame.

so jealous? it's a trailblazer frame boxed and some tubeing. trailblazer and other GM products share alot of thing. i've never seen a trailblazer that can fit 33' tires stock. i like trailblazer but you can't lift them too high. ok it's the base H3 no lockers only a posi in the rear. it's not going to be a all out offroader.

I think you should place a brick on the skinny pedal and coast it off of a deep cliff. :D


Good luck with the project.

if it were me ,id spray some plastic adheasion promoter then black sealer ..there is really no need for primer since sealer will fill you 1k grit scratches ..maybe a little flex additive so the grill doesnt get stone chipped up so fast .

Nothing personal, sorry :). I don't have any hate towards hummers. They're capable. If I had one to molest I would. Keep us updated.

I think you should SAS it and make your own hood.

Dude... NICE looking ride.

I did SERIOUSLY look at a Hummer (H2 or H3) before I bought my Rubi. Had to go with the Jeep though.

That's ovious it's a hummer, lol. :064:Gotta bust your stones on that one lol. If you wanted it to be a wheeler the only way to go would have been the SAS. Atleast you'll have a Jeep for the serious wheelin. The h3's gonna be a nice driver. 2" lift and 35's will look nice. Is it the 5cyl or a V-8?
