Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!

[Hummer Kid]

I dont understand why spend alot money on that stuff when the H 3 stills has the 5 clyinder when you can have a H 2 for all the extra money spent or more then getting a H 2. Looks GREAT I DO AGREE AND I LIKE THE LOOK.BUT i am saying that why spend and put that much in to something with such a small engine to begin with. i love my h 3 but i still think it needs alot more power over all compared to others its size.It amost like a plain jane house and spending alot of money on upgrades and never getting what you put into it or like the h 3 i have seen for sale on ebay with so much on them and they are aslking like 48.000 . you can have a h 2 for that.there comes a time when can you put to much into something for what its really worth.(dont flame me )but you can sometimes spend to much in to something for what is really worth and you have buried yourself into it .

Kid,

How and what I spend my money on is my business. Not a flame but mind your manners.

You're argument is useless. I bet you have never driven a Land Cruiser either. 6870lbs, with 215 hp inline 6. 225 lbft torque. The H3 is only anemic if you drive like an idiot.


But thanks for the positive words.

Sorry honey but a Land Cruiser is way above the H3s league.

All I'm saying is why would an experienced vet like yourself not feel that bumper is grossly overhanging. Don't be so nice just because it's a freebee for hummbebe( ). Prototypes are just that, prototypes. Some don't need testing just by looking at it. That bumper is obvious visually that you're gonna get hung up alot more now along with those rock rails. It's embarrasing getting hung up or stuck. You're gonna experience this alot more now.

If you got a lift down the road, that would be a different story. It might actually look damn good. Maybe you should consider that. But the weak 5 engine still owns you . Or save the headaches and upgrade to a more capable STOCK H2.

This is hysterical! I love to read this stuff!

Assuming that you are correct, that the bumper does get hung up (and you don't know that from these pics), it isn't going to hurt that bumper one bit, and she should be able to power off of it, or drag it.

AND you're an assh*le, but you already know that.

Dumbass, you obviously don't wheel at all to make an assinine comment like that.

Look at how far that thing sticks out, you can serve a thanksgiving dinner on that thing. And now that he's made the wings (which are meant to collapse) of that bumper solid it will get hung up even on the most easiest of obstacles. That includes the ridiculously over-protruding rock rails. The H3 car is useless now.

[Anti-BlInG]

Just picture how the other car will look in an accident...

I never claimed to be Mickey Thompson.

You are the one CLAIMING to be the wheeling professional. Your expertise and knowledge are above question. You said it, so it MUST be true.

I've seen several videos with Bebe wheelin difficult obstacles. I've never seen you wheel shiat. She made the decision based on her knowledge and experience. Is she supposed to trust your judgement? Where is your wheelin video? Where is any proof you know anything worth listening to?

[stagger_lee]

So because its a prototype does that mean she is paying for it, or just testing it for them. If so, she wheels the crap out of it, and then in return gives feedback on whether not its a good product. If its a piece of garbage, she takes it off. No big deal. No more production. Sounds and looks like she has the knowledge to make an educated decision. It may not be the best product for rockcrawling, but desert fun and snow, could prove to be excellent proctection and solid push/pull points.

Uhhhh. First- very hard to understand with your punctuation...second- i have no idea what your point is...not the slightest. "Dont upgrade your rig because you chould save that money and buy a different one".....hmmmm.:confused:

[Hummer Kid]

No i never have drove a land cruiser but agree on that but its worth it in the blue book due to being factory. I did have 4 WD KING RANCH power stroke dooley and spent around 14 grand on lift tires and wheels and ranch hand bumpers 12 shocks and it was a huge loss when i got rid of it. i know you dont plan to sell it soon but just giving my opinoin thats what your thread asked in the begining. Sorry if i steped on your toes or made you mad . dont want to start anything here.it does look nice OK ?

[Anti-BlInG]

Correct, you put money into any vehicle- and you wont get it back... thats how things work. You put 14 grand into your power stroke dooley, but will probably lose a few grand when selling. Thats not what this thread is about.Its about celebrating a quality set of bumpers/winch mount and a great 'sounding' brushguard for the amazing h3.

And about someone finally taking the initiative to actually build the stuff!!!!!

Here's to H2O Customs

And that's no lie HummBebe. I've been amazed at how the aftermarket people have stayed away from the H3. Hell, you'd think we'd bought a Nissan or sumpn!

Your Hummer's lookin' downright awesome. You simply MUST get Hummer Magazine to do an article on it to show Hummer what people expect! (psst, please PLEASE don't tell them that the I5 is a great engine though )

If you could, stop on a set of scales and see how much your H3 weighs. It'd be interesting. You're building your very own safety factor in there! I'd love to see the look of a Toyota Tundra driver's face if you get into a fender bender with 'em! I plasma cut and made my own bumpers for my last Scout II. A new 4 runner and I backed into each other, a mutual accident. I scratched my steel bumper, he got $1500 damage. Hmmmm, maybe you're onto something!?

One thing I always wanted to do to my custom bumpers though was to cut in recesses on the corners for ultra heavy duty casters (imagine Frankenstein's carry-on luggage) so that when I got rock hung, it'd just roll. Goofy lookin', but functional eh? I had a receiver mounted winch because most often, I was pulling someone from behind me or I'd nosed into trouble and needed to pull myself back out. I had two batteries and a heavy duty amp. Boy did THAT show me where the old IH wiring harness was weak!

Any idea as to what the work's going to cost people to follow in your footsteps?

But, some people don't wanna drive a H2..

You'd still have to drop a big coin to get the rack, bumpers, etc on the H2.. They don't come from the factory with any more armor than the H3 does...
