Get over yourself, for racism to be effective it has to be divisive and this is simpy humor. It's idiots like you that throw up the racism mantra anytime something "black" is said or done that breeds and perpetuates true racism.

Many people here many not know that your icon "Huey" is a character in Adult Cartoon titled the "Boondocks". Which in "my" opinion is one of the biggest pieces of steaming Sh*t currently on television. It is a "Racist" program by any definition. I'm just thankful that it's on late night so that "most" children are spared the negative influence it intentionally projects. In the process of reviewing your posting history I see that you like to emulate "Huey's" diction as well as post under his picture? Does that mean you share the opinions and views projected in the program? If yes, That makes you the "Racist" Homey or Homie (you've used both spellings in prior posts) regardless of your skin tone in the real world. :mad:

if bling wasn't defined as "sparkly" in 2 out of the 3 online dictionarys i just checked, i'd say blacked out hummers would be tje most blinged hummers of all.

either way is modification of a vehicle to make a personal statement, after all. so, in the end, same diff. :D

okay, i wasnt gunna say anything but someone brought it up. The rigs on this thread arent about "blacking-out", but about staying true to "hummer". "Blacking out" is where you tint the tail lights and put 22" black wheels, honestly not to much difference between blacking-out and blinging-up. True, we get rid of bling, but the customization made by most us ANTI-BLINGERS is for off road satisfaction. :cool: -yeah im cool.

So has anyone blacked out their light cover's non-black letter...that is assuming you aren't running with chrome covers. For example, below are my PIAA 580s. I did a photo-chop on them to make the lettering black, but I'm not sure that it looks decent.

Ive been putting a little thought into changing from bling to black....the more i look at my grill i think it needs to be black....and i want to change my rims too. With a black grill i think 22" Rockstars running 37" Toyo M/Ts would be schweet. I dont guess this will increase my offroad performance and im probably not going to do it as its not very economical but if i had to do it all over again id probably go that route...then put my stockers on for wheeling.

Phil, they look great.

I'm too lazy / busy to search for other threads on painting....what prep work is necessary to paint wheels, did you do it with tires on, and how does it really hold up?

I've been debating whether to spend the money to get some slightly used takeoffs to get powder coated before I upgrade my tires to 37s. If I just paint my current ones, that'll save me at least $500.

I couldn't part with the chrome, i enjoy the dichotomy of the truck, and reaction to it, too much. Its too interesting to watch how a perfectly polished chromed H2 generates different reaction than one covered in mud & barely showing its white.

depends on who's looking.

when shiny, i've never had pickup guys hang out the window to give a thumbs up. when muddy i've never been flipped off, or had somebody whip a U-turn just to cuss at me.

But when muddy & not showing its bling, i've never had carloads of college girls holla out a window or ask us to follow them around.

so whatever, both ways are fun. I enjoy the bad attention as much - although differently - as the good. If you ever do anything really worth doing, somebody is going to dislike it. Just think back to the reaction to the cutest girl you ever dated/married.

shrug. the truck is alot of fun, both in the real world and pondering the wildness of cyberspace, although i do fear i bore you guys sometimes with the latter.

31_bandits
07-11-2006, 04:15 PM

...Its too interesting to watch how a perfectly polished chromed H2 generates different reaction than one covered in mud & barely showing its white.

I believe you are referring to the disdain being shown when it's a bling machine because it's not being used "as it's supposed to be" ;) ;) :D

Exactly, getting flipped off for being a POS, envirodestroying blinger is different than not getting flipped off at all

Re: painting wheels
My balancing weights are on the outside of the rims. Can I just move them to the same spot on the inside and be close enough for a while? And if so, how do you do that. It looks like the tab holding them on is wedged under the bead and the bead on the inside edge of the tire overhands the rim quite a bit.

I'm planning on painting the spare wheel while the wife's not paying attention and then wait to see what happens. She insists the chrome grill has to stay "for the contrast" :confused::mad: So I don't expect things to go well when I do the wheels. I think I could get away with powder coating them, but I think shell use the "redneck" word if I paint them.

I found a guy in Tonica, IL (way, way South). (www.powderperfect.com (http://www.powderperfect.com))
I checked in the Chicago area with no luck--everyone that I called seemed to have the same price but when it came to sandblasting, forget about it. Then, when they found out it was for an H2, they would say, "$$Hummer$$?".
The guy at Powderperfect was great. I bought 4 take-offs and delivered them myself, then picked them up later. Actually, they are metal flake when you get close. -- is that considered bling? Inert-bling maybe.
If you are getting new rims, you might just have them shipped to Powderperfect and then go pick them up.
I got a bunch of ideas from this forum. Lugnuts, replacing the mirror with warranty, and instructions for taking the console out to put in Ipod interface--.

I have weights both inside and outside. They try to balance them most of the time with inside weights only but my MT/Rs have been extremely hard to balance and I told them to do inside and out to try to get the tires to settle down at 75MPH.

Just take them in to get balanced and tell them to only weight the inside. If the dealer does it, that's all they should do, anyway.

Yeah, the original mirrors were defective, the dealer tried to fix, then replace--no matter what they vibrated and wouldn't return after they were folded in.
I rented an H2 in Florida and it had the same mirror problems.
The new ones are much better--except for the chrome.

hmmm.. thanks. What about the 38's. I think it might be still a tight fit...

Rancho lift + wheelin= 37 13.50 on 17" or 18" rim
Rancho lift + road use only= 38 13.50

Fabtech lift + Wheelin= 38 13.50/ or wider or 22's with 40's seem to work too
Fabtech lift + Road use only= 40's on 18,20, 0r 22" rim

We should make these specs a sticky somewhere since it;s been a frequent topic lately. :D

I have the Rancho lift and when flexed all the way, the 37 13.50's just clear front and rear.

PARAGON
12-16-2006, 04:39 PM
If you are going to wheel... a 22" wheel shouldn't even be a consideration anyway. All of that sidewall loss and tire flex will mean less traction on rocks and a higher likely hood of loss beads since the tire can't move as much without the extra sidewall.

2-H2's
12-16-2006, 07:52 PM
38x15.50's will rub a little when wheelin', mine ripped my wheel well liners up and I have a 6" lift. 38x13.50 would be better and a little kinder to steering components also.

Ditto...I use my 20" with the 38's for the highway

yeah, i dont know if i could bring a set of 22's out and trash them up a bit. A think 20's is about as big as i would go. However, im in florida and the tallest mountain around here is the local landfills....

Could you get away with a Fabtec 6", 40's, and 18-20" wheels if you use it for lots of hunting. (ofcourse lots of road driving). Maybe not so wide of tires? Really little or zero rock/mountain riding. I do not want to tear it up, but I want Albies Rig but maybe in Solar Flare. (I prefer Pewter but there is little color choices for 08)

The grill and roof racks are Rustoleum spray on bedliner. The tailgate is Herculiner for extra protection... I have a habit of throwin stuff like chains, shovels in/at the back.

I sanded the grill and door handles by hand 80-150 grit then wiped them with acetone. The rest is tuffer chrome plating, I used a couple diff. methods and tools.. wire wheels, DA sander. Most of the project is prep. I am surprised how good the bedliner looks on the grill. Def more then i could have expected for $10

Do they rub at all? I'm going with the Toyo MT's so I'm concerned that I'll get major rubbing with a 12 wide. I really want to consider the 22's as the toyo mt's come in a 35x12.5r 22.. I'm just a little worried that they may be too skinny. I don't want it to look like a "street" truck. I'd like a litttle off road appeal. Most of the off roading will be when I take her to the mountains to go skiing.

Not sure on the backspacing... I can check on that and get back to you. The wheels are 22x12 and the tires are 37x13.5x22 Kumho KL71. No lift, just cranked the T-Bars to level it out! had a slight rub @ 3/4 turn but I did a little trimming and it's perfect now!

Damn! That's MEAN!!!

What's the offset on those wheels? I'd like to see them in on a 37inch tire. Are those 38x15!? I love it. I wonder if they'd look as good a 37x13.5 inch kuhmo Did they rub before you had a lift or did you do them both at the same time. Do you know what your overall height increase was? That thing probably wouldn't fit into my garage. I had to take off all of my cross bars just to fit into mine. I may have 3 inches of space tops.. I'd be afraid to do a lift other than 37" tires alone out of fear that I wouldn't fit into my garage.

Offset is -24mm, they rub a little at full turn on the backside of the inner fender well thats w/ the lift. I lifted it before I got the wheels.

37" Kuhmos shoud fit no problem w/out a lift, they are slightly undersized compared to to other brands.

Please get us some more pics! I love that thing. I think I'd like to do mine very similar to it with 37" tires. If I can fit into my garage I'll be thrilled.
Are those tires really 15.5 inches wide? I was looking on the Kuhmo site and the 38inch tires only come in 15 inches wide. How far do they stick out? Do they make the truck handle a lot different? A lot of owners say that they tend to suck you off of the road.. Is that true? I'd hate to ruin the ride.. I think mine handles well for such a large vehicle.

Also, What kind of lift did you use?

I have air ride so I'm not sure how I can lift mine or if I even can..

ehaser,,
It ain't fittin in a standard size garage. The tire size is correct. Tire manners are not bad at all,pretty decent on the highway, road noise isn't bad, overall I am impressed with the tires. Although they are heavy (125lbs rim&tire), I lost about 2mpg. I used green keys up front and alluminum spring spacers outback. Air suspension can be lifted, do a search on 2" lifts you'll find a usefull thread on the subject.

The lights are PepBoy specials believe it or not, $25 a pair. So I spent about $100 bucks on them.LOL!

how do you go about mounting the lights in the roof cross bar??


Also.. looks like you have HIDs... what brand did you go with? 35 or 55 watt and what color temp?

Looks great man. I'm loving it. I'm probably going to hold off on the lift. I honestly dont feel like getting into getting shocks, tie rods, stabilizer, etc... Too much work. I'll probably be upgrading to an 09 sooner than later so it's probably not worth messing with a good thing. I don't really off road other than going to job sites or heading to the mountain for a weekend ski trip. Even then I'm just going from point A to B. Nothing major. If I could find a nice set up where I could fit 37's on the stock truck I'd do it. Otherwise, I'm probably going with 35's. Sucks that there isn't an easy solution. The truth is, I'm quite happy with almost every aspect of the stock truck. I'd just like to add some wheels/tires that look good without ruining what I already have and like.

I used nut-serts they are like a rivet but has threads. You drill the hole put in the nut-sert then bolt on the lamp. Bulbs are 55 watt halogen on light bar. HID's on head lamps, I have no idea on the specs.

:clapping: :clapping: Thanks! I had seen this color on C.L. with the same color scheme and I thought the same thing, that's what led to me doing it.

I still need to figure out the roof rack or just powder coat the cross bars and do a 3rd bar with lights... :confused:

The snow... :D I didn't get that into it, but here's what I did... sorry for the ramble but I gotta do it.

I grew up in Cedar Hills. My mom's house where I grew up is on a very very steep hill, ROXBURY AVE. ( if you know it ), and when it snowed we used to get up and just laugh laugh laugh at the people trying to attempt going up or down... --down was always much more entertaining but could get ugly.

I myself have had my moments on that damn hill.



SO....since I live just one street over, and just because I knew I could-- I took the Hummer out, and went up and down the hill several times while grinning at all the stuck cars parked half way up or down. :fdance: :fdance:

Doesn't sound exciting to most, but I've been watching people being F'd and being F'd myself by that hill for years and years.... so it was exciting for me. ;)

On a side note.. I realized that when it snows you are all of a sudden very popular when you own a HUMMER..

Back to the scheduled program.... :)

And really its not the Hood that takes the weight of the force. Its the hidden mounting system that you cannot see. It takes all of the pressure. The hood pines just offer stability from vibration etc....
