Cool Company for Offroaders

[FormerJeeper]

I'm going to repost this link here, because I think this is VERY important news for anyone into offroading their H3. It was originally posted in a thread about the demise of SMA.

I like the front bumper grill guard.

Cool stuff but not easy to get ahold of. I've emailed 3 times and no response. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Maybe its really busy, who knows... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Nice looking stuff though. I'd buy the Shock/Axel skid plates in a heartbeat and the front locker will be mine! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

My first email to Amstar got this reply back in January:

So glad you like our new H3 products. You can purchase any of our H3 products
by stopping by your local dealer and they can place the order with us.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask,

"Sherry Roberts" <sroberts@mail.tecstarinc.com>


I've since tried contacting dealers all over the SE and Midwest and nobody seems to have any info on purchasing Amstar stuff. Follow up emails to Amstar have had no reply since January 27th.

Has anyone seen them at an auto show?
If anyone knows how to get this stuff or who to contact please let us all know?
Call your dealer's parts manager and tell them to take a serious look at Amstar!

[jp's-h3]

AMSTAR will be taking alot of money out of my wallet! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[jp's-h3]

This pic say's it all! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[HummerNewbie]

Just called my dealer and he had not heard anything yet about when they would carry the AmStar line. He said he had tried to find out info but couldn't so I gave him the website to check out. I also did a whois search on the domain and this is what I got.

Villing & Company Inc.

5909 Nimtz Parkway
South Bend, Indiana 46628
United States

Administrative Contact:
DeSelm, Nathan hostmaster@villing.com
Villing & Company Inc.

Doesn't surprise me they are in South Bend. The domain was just registered back in Oct. so they may really be in startup gear right now.

[Sewie]

I'm going by my dealer tonight. I'll see if they have any info.

[Ipedog]

Email sent to dealer. We'll see. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[bjc]

I also got no response from my dealer.

Investigative work yielded these Amstar contacts:

Sherry Roberts 574-534-7872 (ext. 232)
Bill Thompson 574-254-2244

I left a message with each asking them to post something to this website (or their website) about availability / pricing info on the H3 accessories.

I say we keep calling them until we get a response.

[HummBebe]

Excellent work!!!!


I think we should all be calling http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[ckhagman]

Nice find. Interesting the one of the persons involved in Bill Thompson. Could it be the same Bill Thompson of AM General?

Nevermind it is a partnership with AM General so I guess so.

[nmikes]

Hope Jason's payin attention... he has got to start carrying this stuff.

[HummBebe]

I just spoke with Mr. Moriarty,(didn't catch his first name) he would not commit to when they will have these items to market, but when a gave him some time frame options, he chose my 6-8 week option. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

He took my personal information ( probably to have me investigated http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) and asked what products I was looking foward to the most.

Front e-locker, disconnecting sway bars were my two picks. He said he would get the information to the right people and they would be contacting me soon.

They will be retailing thru dealers only.

He also asked if I would be attending the Homecoming in June.

I also let him know that there are a good deal of us who are very excited about the products and are anxiously awaiting news.

How exciting!!!!!

[HummerNewbie]

Great work Bebe. Keep us posted if you hear anything.

The good ole American way, PRICE GOUGING!
Amstar know's they have the H3 off-road market in the palm of their hand and they are taking advantage of it! maybe I'll keep hope alive, that some day an off-road performance company will make a quality product and sell it for a reasonable price! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

[bmoser1]

I have been emailing them multiple times since Monday with no responses. You would think they would respond in some kind of way by now. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Maybe they are all on vacation testing out their products. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Was that shipped Neo?

Those prices at my dealer did not even include install http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif I shopped around and the best I could find on the UCP was $294 plus $110 shipping but would be a week. The rocker rails were over $700 with shipping. Lucked across a guy selling his. Paid $500 for both and the shipping came to right at $140. All in all, I am happy.

I have a suggestion for everyone interested in Amstar. Post the products you would want in order of preference. Then someone can foreward a link to the wish list to the right person with Amstar. They can get an idea of what people want and know that there is some serious interest out there for their products. Perhaps this should be started as a new thread? I'm not sure I'm just a newbee here, help me out you veterans.

I sure did and was so glad to see all of the great responses to our new products. We are close on releasing the new AMSTAR H3 components and are just finishing up validation. As you know AMSTAR is a joint venture between AM General, known for HUMMER and Tecstar who has been a 2nd stage manufacturer for GM for many, many years so we will not put anything out in the field that will not perform like we say it will and last like we promise.

So, tell everyone I forwarded their sense of urgency to the AMSTAR team and it will be soon!!

Not sure what f5fstop said. I personally talked to Eaton and ARB, both of which told me the same answer. Diff is too small and weak. I guess AM General has more pull than me. In any case I will be buying a bunch of parts from them in the next several months. Starting with the front locker and sway bar disconnects.

Interesting, since Eaton is the manufacturer of the front locker.

The Eaton® Electronic Locker improves traction by providing full-axle lock when needed. ELockers enhance the towing and off-road performance of your new HUMMER vehicle. Fully compatible with both electronic brake-activated traction and electronic stability control systems.

[Hal]

Yes... Response!!!
I got the email from Sherry Roberts as well. If I have any $$$ left after Uncle Sam rapes me in April, it will go to Amstar purchases!

Despite the worries I still want the front locker!

Keep us posted HummBebe

The insurmountable engineering problem comes in the way of it not being profitable enough for them to make it an option!

[jp's-h3]

It look's like christmas is coming early this year! YEEEEEHAAAAW! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[bmoser1]

Has anybody heard of an actual date that products will be available?

[HMR Editor]

I received an e-mail from a friend, asking me to respond to the topic of this thread and share a little inside info on the Wilderness Ready H3. I’m also posting this to another thread on this forum discussing the Wilderness Ready H3.

Last November, AM General invited me back to South Bend to take the H3 Wilderness Ready out on the proving grounds and put it through its paces (Work, work, work). It took about half a second for me to say, “Yes!”

Turns out, I was the first one to ever off-road the WR. AMG built the truck in about four weeks specifically to show at SEMA. So they were very interested in the out come. After spending the day plowing around the course (November is a muddy month) and putting the truck through every obstacle I could find, including the Double-Whammy and the Golden Crack, we headed back to the Tech Center and put the truck up on the rack. We went over every inch of the under carriage from stem to stern examining every scrape and scratch and what I felt when it happened. A few tweaks were gleaned, but other than that, the truck was great!

Of course you have to keep in mind that the design of the WR-H3 was done by off-roaders. The guys out at the training course sat around with Bill Thompson and brainstormed about what THEY would add to the already very capable H3, if they were building one for themselves. The only limiting factor was that the modifications could not affect the trucks use as a daily driver. They also wanted to carry forth as much H1 heritage as possible and incorporate it into the H3. Hutchinson makes the dual bead lock wheels; they also make H1 wheels. An H1 CTIS air compressor was fitted into the cargo area storage drawers they made. The roof rack is the short H1 rack, rotated 90 degrees. The list goes on and on. One of the nicest things they came up with were the skid plates on the lower shock perches. You can actually feel the truck sliding up and over obstacles. The side-steps are up high and function as rocker panel protection with a ski shaped skid plate that closes out the webbing on the bottom. This means you don’t have to remove them before going off-road.

When we finished going over the results of the days adventure, I asked Bill how it does on the street. He threw me the keys and told me to take it for the evening. We spent several hours driving around downtown South Bend, through rush hour traffic and over streets that were being repaired. Rod Hall’s shocks were great in the dirt, but really fantastic on the street. Around town the ride was as smooth as a stock H3. Like all H3’s, the WR is no speed demon. I know there was talk about mechanically upping the horsepower, but no definitive solution yet.

The WR is literally wilderness ready. The plan is to offer the truck as a complete package available and serviced through the Hummer dealer network with AmStar (a company formed by AM General and Starcraft) as a third-party manufacture. Sort of like Ford does with Saleen Mustangs and Jeep does with their Rubicon. The individual parts would also be available, either at the dealer or on-line, for those wanting to add them to their truck. The front locker however, was being debated. It was looking like AMG would prefer to change the entire front diff, to something they knew would hold up to their requirements rather than risk damage to the stock one. The quick disconnects allow about a 30% increase in articulation make it a real rock hound.

The truck is supposed to be available by early summer; the parts would also become available about the same time. The total package is about a $15k hit to the price of the truck, but I know they were still working that.

If you are interested and would like to provide your feedback, we have a survey about the Wilderness Ready package available on our website (http://www.hmrmagazine.com/multimedia.htm), under media presentations. The results are forwarded directly to AM General. So, if you’d like to let them know how you feel and what interests you about the WR-H3, here’s your chance. You can even request more information that will come directly from AMG. At the end of the survey, you can download and watch AM General’s, Wilderness Ready presentation.

Sorry for the long post, but believe me, there is a lot to talk about with this truck and I just touched on the tip of the iceberg here. We dedicated four pages to it in our last issue of HMR and there is still more to say.

Thanks for your time,
Dave

[Sewie]
