h3 on 35's versus fj
 

The quality of the pictures suck, but you get the idea.

The tires are 35x12.5 ProComps, mounted yesteday :)

Thanks, guys!

None of you has made fun of the fact that I'm using eye-bolts to hold my 60-inch Hi-Lift onto my roof rails. That is very kind of you (all) :)

I just got the Hi-Lift and that I didn't have any 4-inch bolts laying around but did have some eye-bolts. You know how it is with kids and new toys :)

For coolness alone, I'd choose an H3 over an FJ anyday. Your setup looks really nice!

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

Sharp lookn' rig. Those 35's just make the truck:D

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

Great truck! Which Procomps do you have? Sorry I can't tell from the picture. How do you like them so far?

Thanks

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

Looks good!

What roof rack is that? Where did you get it?

I really like those Xtreme All Terrain Pro Comp's...how do they perform on the road? Also, are they actually 35x12.50 or the metric 315/75's (I know they both are close to the same size, I was just wondering)? How is your ride now with the larger tires? Do you have a leveling kit or did you turn your torsion bars? Great looking rig, I love everything about it (including the roof rack attached with the eye bolts)! If you get a chance, can you post some more pics? Sorry so many Q's...I am considering going with those same tires. Thanks for your input.

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

Looks good. What type of wheels are those?

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

GREAT POST!!!! Looks awesome:clapping:

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

The tires are in fact 315/75/16 Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain. I've only driven them on ice, in a thin sheet of mud, and a little bit of off-road climbing. They were awesome in every circumstance. Nearly back-to-back with the stockers, the Pro Comp's climbed up the same mushy hill with relative ease. This may change as they wear, but they make very little highway noise.

The roof rack is actually just two Thule bars wrapped with foam pads to help my kayak stay snug. The Hi-Lift gives the appearance of a roof-rack, since it runs between the front and back bars. If I bought a roof rack, it would probably be the Discovery with the light bar attachment. Depending on the height of the new lights, I would probably just "steal" the wiring for the factory light bar and then cap off those lights.

Unfortunately, I'm going through a divorce and the court-ordered rules of conduct prohibit frivilous expenditures. The tires were "necessary" for the safety of the children :) Whatever :)

I can't remember what kind of wheels they are (dealership installed), but I think that someone else figured it out about a year ago when I first posted pics. They are powder-coated. For now :) The powder-coating is starting to come off.

I'll try to take some more pics today...

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

Here are some additional pics as requested. Also, I don't have a lift. The front is cranked about a bajillion times. When I got the new tires, the installer was a little frustrated at how far out of spec the alignment was. :)

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

Sweet off-road pictures...looks like a fun place to wheel. I know this sounds a little picky, but if you get a chance, can you post a pic of the rear of your H3 (one from directly behind the truck)? Or one that shows how far they stick out from the front or back fenders? I love those 35's you put on it, I just noticed one picture you posted looked like they stuck out a little farther than I thought...I guess all 35's are beefy tires, though. It would be greatly appreciated, but no rush. Did I mention I like your H3?:)

Re: h3 on 35's versus fj
 

Sure, I'll take a pic, possibly tomorrow, straight on from the rear. Thanks again for the compliments.

The location of the pics is an old ranch that is being turned into a high-end neighborhood. I was able to sneak through the gates that are normally locked and climb over the curb to the old ranch roads beyond.

Honestly, I just let go of the wheel and let the Hummer do what Hummer's do best: find stuff to climb. My H3 was driving himself around when I took the pictures. Sort of like Herbie the Love Bug's distant cousin: Thor the Warmongering Assault Vehicle of Hatred. Okay, I'm full of crap.
