What did you do with your H3 recently? NEW

[amrg]

Upgraded the alternator to a mechman 250 amp E series. My idle voltage was dropping to high 11s after driving at noon for a while so it was time to upgrade the alternator as the efans werent working properly anymore.

First start voltage shoots up to 15.6 + with minimal load (stock used to be 14.3)

Still to be installed when free is the Big 3 kit

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.

Yes, a cop art site. Lifts come up rarely. The last one was an Alpha that had been repaired (re skinned driver door and rear panel and sold with salvage title) it went for 8k plus website fee and shipping.
This one still went north of 1k, and then nearly double that in transport. But, I have an alpha with 4.10 and an LS2 and wanted to change to 4.56 and keep the lift. Shipping is the killer.

If your voltage is going up to 15.6 be careful, you can wreck your battery with that high of a voltage when it's hot. Too high a voltage will cause the acid mixture to outgas and even a SLA/AGM will vent and die an early death. That high of a voltage is generally only ok when it's near or below freezing. At 50C you should only be around 14 volts or so max to avoid outgassing.

Thanks and I will keep that in mind and keep track of it using the torque app. If its too much then I may go with an external regulator (if possible). Obviously under normal load (a/c and efans) it drops to 14 ish. This was first start and I will see what happens. My idle rpm is set higher than stock due to the cam and that voltage was at 1K rpm starting idle.

Test mounted my 38s. They do fit, but they rub in places when articulating and also when turning the steering wheel. Will take time to fix, but it should work! More info on my build thread.

Its a Road Armor Bumper! From what I know they are really uncommon and I have only seen one other H3T on a old forum from back in 2010 have one. It says that they are still for sale at Teaka Toys (Made to Order) but it is not listed/for sale on Road Armor's own site. Honestly I think it is the price point. They are so many other heavy duty bumpers out like Thor parts, move, tough country, ARB, Iron Bull, etc that are cheaper than this one which is probably why no many people run it. I remeber reading a forum post when road armor first introduced the bumper and many were saying it was to expensive. Note I got it when I got the truck, so I didn't buy it new lol.

Bah aha I know the owner of that T! Went wheeling with him several times.

What you don’t see if those photos is the cubs Tom skid plate he had made to connect the front bumper to the Rancho front cross member.... it has a giant lemon in it because the huge hassle he had with Road armor (all sorts of stuff went wrong for him from the finish not lasting more then a few months to needing a fab shop to fix errors in the mountain as they sent it out with the wrong mounting plates

I get the 'angry eye' thing, just don't know why people would want to restrict airflow to the radiator by blocking a third of the grille and then the entire lower grille with a second light bar.

 

[tennyson1a]

No issues yet....i personally haven't heard of anyone having problems **yet**

After removing the lift the flares and 35's didn't want to play nice together. Took a die grinder to them and finished up with a belt sander and them wet sanded them smooth.

Had the front diff rebuilt on the 3 by the Differential Man in Colorado Springs.

Apparently my front drive shaft is toast. Rancho lift is known to chew through the front cv so yay me. Ordered a new cv and u joint, something to do this week.

I get the 35'' tire thing, just don't know why people would want to lift their rig with a lift kit known to cause cv and u joint issues and hack away at their fenders...weird.

Probably why I took it off and sold it. Must really suck to have such thin skin, you could at least make your comment original. Maybe you should stick to making your truck look like every Jeep grille on the road with your masterful wood and bondo skills.

That’s funny I didn’t have to hack my fenders whole point of a lift is so you can have more clearance in your fenders and also how does jeep angry eyes benefit off road ? Thought this was hummer4x4offroad not ricersrus
