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 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

Thanks Newbie! It was fun

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

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

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

AZH3  03-24-2006 11:54 PM

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

kennyosemite 03-25-2006 12:53 AM

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

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

Ipedog 03-25-2006 11:34 AM

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.
