Some people say it rides like a cadillac with the Rancho lift which is simply untrue. It rides like a lifted truck. I have a stock adv sitting in my driveway next to mine for the week, I know which one rides better. Most of my offroading is longer drives to and from fishing or hunting places so taking it down a notch to just leveled on 33's works for me.

Idk I rather the Rancho ride with some good shocks and alpha t keys for i5, over stock suspension. The off road gains are merely a bonuses which are a lot. From what I experienced.

Got the steering rack kit installed. Had the diff out of the way already from removing the lift so I didn't need to remove the rack, enough slack in the lines to roll it back some to work. Saves from having to bleed the system. Got everything buttoned back up, just need to reset the ride height and get an alignment.

Does anyone know where to get just the bushings for the rack? I have the Mayhem metal works steering clamp that I bought from another H4O user. I know outfitter sells them as a kit, but I am just looking for the bushings.

Anyone wind up with 2 right side Hunner skids? I bought a set off a forum member last year but never got around to opening the box until now and have 2 left skids plus the fronts.

Siberian Bushing makes just the two rack bushings you can buy seperate. However, after installing them in mine, I really wouldn't bother next time. The OEM bushings are really quite hard to begin with and it actually seemed like the Siberian bushings were softer than the OEM. Unless your bushings are shot (which is unlikely) I'd save the money and headache and just install the clamp.

Here's my install:

The H3 just went over 150,000 miles but was definitely due for some maintenance. It's been an active and $$$ few months but overall I'm happy because the H3 is happy :)


- ACDelco serpentine belt, tensioner pulley/bolt, and idler pulley
- ACDelco iridium spark plugs
- Cleaned mass air flow sensor and throttle body
- Broken exhaust manifold bolt extraction (x3)
- GM exhaust manifold, gasket, and stud replaced
- Third brake light replaced, great write up can be found here http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php?6364-Hummer-H3-Third-Tail-Light-Repair-Mod
- ACDelco crankshaft seal and harmonic balancer kit w/washer and bolt
- Transmission cooler lines and fittings replaced (small leak)




I do have a few more upgrades planned before Oct when my friends and I will be in Moab. BTW PM me if you're interested in joining us in Moab, last year we had 8 suv/trucks and around 6 atv/utv's in attendance. Anyway, here is the list of future upgrades before Oct;


- Outfitter Design steering rack kit and front differential bushings
- ACDelco expansion valve kit
- ACDelco CV axle and seal (driver side). I've had a minor front differential fluid leak for over a year that I'd like to finally fix that I suspect may be fixed by replacing these parts.

Does this work the Navigation version of the radio with the screen?
Click to expand...

As long as your H3 came with the XM radio option, you can use it navigation or not. I have the navigation radio and just spliced into the XM wires with an aux cord + receiver from radioshack for something like $15. That package is essentially the same thing, but easier since it's basically plug and play. As long as you have or used to have the XM radio. You don't need to be subscribed, but you tune to the XM radio, any channel, and it receives audio from the aux cord instead.

Wood absorbs moisture like a sponge, paint isn't going to be a good topcoat option. Best thing would be pvc and fiberglass, no bubbling and cracking issues later.

Yeah, I found that out after I started, I was following Sam Pierce on YouTube, and I followed his tutorial to a t, once I realized his way was flawed, I swapped to fiberglass...

Trying to push this thing on dollies back into the garage- they pulled the valve-stems for transport (?) so another trip to the store...

If you don't mind me asking, how much and where did you get that H3? I am thinking this H3 must have came from a salavage site like copart. I am kind of intrested in buying a salvage H3 w/ a rancho. Reason why is I need a parts truck because buying parts indivdually is so expensive. I have been wanting to make half doors but everyone wants like $500 per door. I am thinking that if the H3 is not too expensive I could take off the rancho, sell it in here to an H4O guy that really wants one, and come close to breaking even. Then I could have all the expensive-as-heck parts for a much cheaper price then part out companies want.
