Thanks, ICEntropy! Good suggestion on the wheel guards. I like the Zombie Response custom covers on Entropy Offroad. The switch panels are highly interesting as well. I'm planning to add some LED lights to the roof rack, and want a nice custom panel like those. Previously I had only seen the panels Rubberduck offers. But, honestly, I wouldn't buy one from them because I don't want to see that ugly duck logo every time I get in the vehicle.
I do plan on working on it myself to a degree. Although, I don't have the tools, facilities, time, and patience to do very complex work myself. I'm having Predator do a 6.6L Duramax conversion, upgrade to 12" Alpha style brakes, 12K half-shafts, and some other odds and ends. So far, in my experience, they've been a pleasure to work with. I'll let you know what I think after I get my truck back. But, I met the owners and a number of the guys in the shop. The all seem professional, knowledgeable, and honestly seem to love where they work. That's a good sign to me of people who take ownership and do quality work. Again, the proof will be in my results in a few weeks. But, I feel good about it.
That said, I'm always looking for other sources of parts, labor, and innovative ideas. I've already made a few purchases from Rubberduck. And, I've been building a library of Hummer related bookmarks as I surf the web. I appreciate your Blue Hummer suggestion, I hadn't seen them yet! And your site has a number of great looking products on it as well. I'm looking forward to seeing what's on your upcoming Firearms and Gear page. Keep me posted!
BTW: I met Bill Wu (
http://thehummerguy.com/) when I was in San Diego on my way to Predator from the airport. I stopped by his place to purchase an OEM H1 rack to go between the rear seats in the H1. What a nice guy! He's got quite the stockpile of Hummer new and used gear, and top-end H1s in his shop. Bill was really helpful, and had a ton of knowledge / suggestions regarding H1s and off-roading in general. I really appreciate all the info and advice from the Hummer community at large.
