I just picked it up from the shop last night. I can't believe how much bigger the HD tierods are!

Have to plug the shop that did the work! Great guys and killer prices!

I bought the Hypertech tuner(30019) and the shift firmness gives options of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. I noticed all the other treads people were just stating firm. Does anyone else have these options on their tuner? You can also adjust tire size 1/4 inch at a time. I think I read somewhere that only the superchips did that.

What kind of tires are those and how did you make your wheels stick out so much from the car? =P

Nitto Mud Grapplers. The wheels stick out that far due to the off set of the wheels. Its not too good for the paint and can be harder then hell on the steering suspension components, but it looks sweet.

Alright pardon my complete newbness at this stuff but im going to bust out some questions =P

1. "Off set of the wheels" - Can you explain this further? WHat Off set?

2. "harder then hell on the steering suspension components" - so...what happens? =P

The offset of the wheel refers to the location of the wheel mounting area. Here's a couple of references:
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101
http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html


as far as steering/suspension components, imagine this. take a bar and add 45lb weights about 12" in on each side. twist it back and forth. now take those same weights and put them at the very ends of that bar and add 20lbs. you will find it takes more strength. by adding larger wheels/tires, you add weight and the offset puts the wheels out more. this all causes stress on any gears/moving parts of your suspension/steering.

BTW - Good choice on the wheels. Bigger fenders would eliminate the paint concers. :D But that's a CLEAN ride! I don't remember it lifted in those pics you posted

Thanks for all the comments guys! I put the HD tierods on and the steering stabilizer and it actually drives better than it did stock.

You're right motorsports authority, I just had the truck lifted. That's why I was asking about wheels. Thanks again for the photochop help!

The backspacing on the wheels is only 4.5 inches. That is the least that you can run with that lift. I'm not real sure what the offset is. I want to say -19.

I'm in Gatlinburg, Tn right now and drove it here from ATL and got 12.5 MPG.:clapping:

I've just gotten into wheelin'. The wife and I were talking about making a trip to Tellico, but I have never been offroad that much. I think that it might be over my skill level right now. She is certainly going to get dirty:D

What part of ATL are you in? I live around the mall of Georgia area. I guess that is more metro Atlanta.

Yeah, they are loud as hell! I knew that before I bought them so it doesn't really bother me. The tires ride really good. You can feel all the bumps in the road but that is typical with a big tire. All tires balanced out to zero and did not ask for any more than 5oz. of weight.

I live in brookhaven (near buckhead). Tellico is a lot of fun. It's not the skill as much as the gonads out there. There are just lots of opportunities for dents, etc. But, if you listen to your spotters, you will make it fine out there. Do you go to the Hummer Happenings by Lou Sobh?

Will they let you show up if you didn't get your truck from them. I would love to go the next time they have one. Elan motorsports and panoz are one of my biggest customers, I've been to Road Atlanta several times but never seen the off road course. It would be pretty cool!

Dobie, scope out Gatlinburg for me. We're heading out there after T-giving for a week.

Staying at some resort the wife booked.

Should be fun, I mean heck, I just wanted to go to Key West.:( :o

Your truck looks great!

Its open to all hummer owners and its FREE. Very Cool. I run my 99 FRC vette up at road Atlanta as often as I can (panoz track days)! Its off to the left of the track (behind turn 12). I'll keep you posted as soon as I get any info on when the next event is.

awesome! Keep me posted. I'm looking for anywhere to wheel. Do you have any good spots here in the atlanta area that you can wheel? The only thing around my house is power lines and the cops don't like it when you go there:fdance:

Thats about all that is close in. There are some pretty tough trails up at Beasley's Knob near Blairsville, but actually the Hummer course at Road Atlanta is probably the closest cool place I have found. There is also river rock orv park near Madison, and some trails up at amicalola falls.
