Okay you selfish impatient bastards! You forced me to leave early. On a Friday no less. And then have to come home and work on my H3. You bunch of worthless ingrates! It was pure utter HELL!!!

Actually it was lots of fun. Thanks guys for a great excuse! ;D

pic 1 - First wheel installed

Second Pic - Lifting the Drivers side rear

Pic Three - Front and Rear installed

Pic Four - Profile shot

Pic five - Partially stuffed. I didn't have a Hummer dealer nearby like Neo did so I used the next best thing. A 10" timber left over from a woodworking project

Pic Six - Clearance - The wheel isn't fully stuffed so I don't know if this is fair, but there is about an inch to inch and a quarter worth of space between that flange and the tire.

Looking good. See what happens when you listen to use, you get to go home early on a Friday and play

Things learned in the process.

1. It takes about 35-45 minutes of working slow to change four wheels.

2. It wasn't hard at all to do. Hell, Even HI could do it in an hour (here comes trouble!)

3. It takes about 1 fully charged, three year old, Ryobi 18 volt battery to remove and install 4 wheels using an impact driver. No, the Ryobi doesn't snug the lugs up fully, but it takes them off nice and quick!

4. I seem to have lost some weight. My god damn pants keep falling down! I felt like Home Boi G and I'm sure I nearly gave some old woman the thrill (or fright) of her life!

5. The TPS warning NEVER came on. Weird... I did leave the OE spare on for right now as these will be coming off in a few days.

and finally

Whats up with you peckerheads!? None of you want to go to Paragon in April? Come on! I've got to get these puppies muddy. Go see the FREE BEER thread and sign your asses up!

Thanks Newbie! It was fun

Oh, it rides really quietly now. Much quieter than the OE Bridestones.

and chance breaking a nail!? Not a chance.

You wouldn't even come close. It was THAT easy

Lookin good. Dont forget to retorque lugs after a 100 miles. I had 2 that needed alittle snugging. Did you do a T-bar adjustment? A couple turns will give you a extra inch of clearance. They look great! It would be had for me to take them off. Really sets your rig. W.T.G. dOg

Perfect ROFLMAO!!!

Rollin wid Humm This... LOL

Nice! Now let's see how long you actually keep them on there.

If I wasn't such a little puss and actually owned an H3 I would love to have tires like that.

Looks great, Rob! I've had BFGs on a Toyota PU and Jeep Cherokee. They'll serve you well. PICS WITH DIRT!

LMAO Ipe , those look great glad to see you got some pics for us very nice man and i like your wooden block test so how big is that smile on your face when you look at your truck now ? !!! congrats man !!!

i think the only reason he will take them off is to have the pressure sensors installed they really make it look tough

I love 'em! They look great, thats for sure!

Last night we went out and I parked next to a Heep Grand Cherokee. I towered over the thing.

HeHeHe

Those look awesome! I want a set now! Good job!

So, it's after 10:30 Saturday, are they dirty yet?!

There ain't that much mud in the metro boston area... Thats why I want to go to Paragon... SOON!!!

Sorry, had to bust your balls a little
Does look damn good though, even clean

Congrats, Rob.

Still an ugly color.

Looks great Rob!!

PS: I HATE YOU!

hell Ipe , i would come from california for free beer

Looks great. I can't wait to hear how they perform off-road!


Neo - you heading up north for the beer festival coming up? Portland just registered the 30th microbrewery to open in metro area.

hell Ipe , i would come from california for free beer </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Notice that I am NOT the originator of the free beer thread. However, IF you drive from Cali for the first weekend, not only will I buy you all the beer you can drink, you could still turn around and make it back to Moab for the start of the trip!

Come on! You know you want to!

The tires look great but the clearance looks scary!

wonder what kind of articulation you will have?

I found a cement retaining wall that ramped gently up and drove the drivers side up it. The rear pass tire stuffed completely w/o issues. Also, no rubbing at full lock. Yet to try aired down.

If Neo had zero issues with the Toyo's then I expect no issues with these.

We'll see. All I know is that on the Next Paragon trip, Hummer Hill will be mine!

Articulation pics.

Hey man looks nice when the 33's I have wear out I am going 315's hey man any trouble with the tire sensors going off if so what did you do to fix it did you do the re-cal as written in the manual?

again looks real nice..... nice to see no rubbing either. what wa the price per tire and where did you score them?
