Got them 35's on!!!

[terry_ohio]

Finally got em on. Just some quick iphone pics. What do you think?

[RazM]

That... is... beautiful!

First H3T I've seen with aggressive 35's, and just as I expected, the truck FINALLY looks like it's supposed to!

Congrats, you've got the best looking H3T I've seen!

:perfect10s: :perfect10s: :perfect10s:

I would like to see close up of tire. What kind of tires and what size are they? Oh' and they look very nice!!

[Ryan Graham]

Thats exactly the truck I keep wanting to trade up to. Very well done.

[Ed G.]

They look great, give your ride a meaner more aggressive look!

[H3slate]

Sweet Terry!! I saw this on CHO and didn't realize it was yours. The truck looks great!! IMHO leveling and slapping 35's on is a must for the H3T.

[Nips]

Congrats!! That looks killer!

[terry_ohio]

yeh, i really like it....one thing: since i have the I-5, getting up to 80 is a little rough now. Not that the I-5 was a beast to begin with but these tires do sap some power.

So any input from you gear-heads on what i can do to give my ride some more power.....and maybe not cost me and arm and a leg.

Thanks...just to let everyone know i went with the Trailduty Bilstein shock Leveling kit with bump stops to level it out. That kit cost $209. The tires were about $277 a piece. I had the dealership do the work since i wanted it done right...that cost me approx $400. I sold my old tires for $450. \

I'm happy with it!

The SUT looks great! Where did you buy the Bilstein Shock leveling kit? Does it just raise the front end up a bit to level the vehicle out? What tires are you running on the SUT?

got the kit from trailduty.com. cranked the torsion bar in the front and the shocks are just better/longer shocks to use now that you raised the front end. The tires are Toyo Open Country(tire discounters) 315/75/16.

Have recently just had the PCM/TCM tuned by PCMforless.com. they are amazing! The truck now has it's power back. This is a must for I-5's who want to put 35's on!

Terry,

I don't normally wander into the H3 area but somehow I accidently clicked on this thread.

So my buddy and I went to the Acura dealership to drop off a car and on the way, we drove right past the local hummer dealership.

I made the comment how I don't really like the look of the H3T.

Having said that, I have to say.... your truck LOOKS GREAT. It's funny, it takes one great looking truck like yours to change someone's mind about a certain brand.

Very nice, great job.

:perfect10s:

BTW, the cheapest power increase to make up for bigger tires is not even a power enhancer.

Gears.... it will bring back a bit of your gas mileage that you lost due to taller tires and bring the performance back a bit.

HTH's,

Understand......yeh, i get at least 1 person everyday stop me and ask about the truck. Everyone seems pretty positive. Still haven't seen another one around my area so i get alot of stares from people who i know are thinking, what the hell is that thing.

I really like this truck! Getcha one!!!

Great truck but I think I'll stick with the bigger ones for now.... :beerchug:

[ChiHummer3]

Looks fantastic!!! Love the all black look!! :perfect10s:

[Rred]

Nice, bro! When you had the PCM reprogramed, did it account for the new tires so that your speedo is accurate again? Hopefulling come June I'll be out of this sand box and will be able to get my wheels/tires on.

Nice truck!

Yes...on PCMforless.com. you fill out an order sheet. One of the questions is" Stock tire size, new tire size. I would advise to get all the things "Mod" wise done to your truck that you want before the PCM/TCM tune(tires, exhaust). They will account for all that in the tune. You can email them too with any questions, they are pretty quick to reply! Very good customer service!!!!

Keep ur head down and thanks for your service bro! we haven't forgot you guys/gals overthere!

Will 37's go on w/o a lift?

[Rred]

37's will go on, but they're going to rub like hell at all four corners.




Hey, Terry. How's the fuel economy with the new PCM? I'm going to drive my truck from Chicago to Austin this June. And I'm debating whether I should put on my new tires/wheels and do the PCM swap before or after I make the trip. What do you think man?

[terry_ohio]

To tell you the truth i have no idea. I really don't pay attention to MPG. I WOULD say if you don't have time to install the newly tuned PCM with your 35's then don't put the 35's on and travel a great distance. The power is crap and the shift points are terrible once the 35's are put on. If you put the tires on, be sure to get the PCM tuned before you travel.

Other than that, it's a hummer...it's gonna eat gas. I can tell you that you will get more attention if you role into any place with the 35's. Sometimes a dude in a Ford or Avanlanche drooling over your H3T is worth the gas mileage...hahaha. I detailed mine this weekend and cruised by a parking lot car show spot and heads were turning like crazy!

Get your butt home safe, get them tires on...get with PCMforless and have them tune your PCM. Make your truck tough the way it's meant to be! You'll feel better about the trip when your ride is the way you want it...hahaha. Or if you have will power(i don't). Wait...(don't do it!!!)

[Reuben]

What did you do to those wheels? Looks great with those tires.

[terry_ohio]

Didn't do anything. The black wheels are actually stock. If you look at those H3T's with chrome wheels, the spare tire under the back end has the stock black wheels. When i order my truck i told them no chrome on anything, and that i wanted black wheels and the dealer told me black was actually the stock wheels!

[domoMKIV]

Didn't like the truck when I saw them on the lot.
Yours is definitely a winner though, great job with it!

[Bimmer9938]

I can't believe they used clamp on / hammer on wheel weights, bring that back and make them static balance em with stick on weights.

[Mike S]

Very Nice. Love this look. I am looking to put bigger tires on my tactical. I have to ask this, is the truck just leveled and not lifted? And did u install the PCM/TCM yourself?

[terry_ohio]

the truck is just leveled(dealership did that part, had them put the wheels on the new tires)...as for the PCM/TCM, did myselft. PCMforless. Did the swap...where they send you a new PCM/TCM, you install it and send your old one back to them. They send you the computer thingy...it's really simple. I have no mechcanical experience what so ever but with instructions provided, i was able to do it myself. You do have to loose up some bolts for a couple of your fluid holders near the PCM and scoot them over so can get your hands down in there and really get a hold of your PCM/TCM and disconnect and reconnect. At least i did.

Thanks for the info!!! Just bought out my lease today installing a cold air intake, leveling, and tires but not sure about size yet.
