h3 on 35's versus fj

[zzr]

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...

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.

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?

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.

Looking good

I have the pics from the back, but my cell phone provider (Verizon) appears to be having some network problems currently.

I'll try again tomorrow.

The tires stick out more than I realized. That must be why my brief mud hog session so thoroughly covered the side panels

Yo - I like the black grill looks hot bro!

Yep - got mines cranked as well - will be installing a 4" lift and wider rims in the next few weeks! Here's a few pics of my rig:

Now that you've had your ProComps on for a while, what observations have you made with your gas mileage?

[Urban Ops]

Nice looking rig!!!!


I still want to know about the wheels. What kind are they? What backspacing are they?


Pleeeeeeese tell us!



And if you don't know, shame on you. And find the hell out!

In what state do you reside? I use to work in family law in PA. In fact, I wrote my PhD dissertation on the subject. I have never heard that one before. Keep that statement in mind the next time you see her driving a sports car or wearing new jewelry- compliments of your "child support payments". States really should require receipts for where the support goes...
