Thanks for posting this over here Nugget!! I have been drooling over your arb bumper and thinking about getting one for myself. Have you seen any H3's down there with the rear bumper from ARB? I would like to see one in black on a truck instead of the red promo one in the pics.

Is your rack an arb rack? It looks longer than the one offered for the H3.

Thanks for sharing, and I liked your videos about your truck.

Thanks H3slate..gald to be here. My bar is exactly what I wanted. Always wanted just the channel to keep the "Hummer" 7 tooth grill as the main attraction. I deal with ARB and they were kind enough to let me have this bar which was their protype of a Sahara bar which they developed for the H3 but then decided not to continue with into production. It came with a big chrome centre loop which sits in a corner of my shed!

Have not seen a black rear bar yet...might have to think about one for my rig!

The roof rack is a custom roof rack that I designed but sits on a set of ARB rails. I was lucky again to get a set of protype rails. ARB made 3 sets which have "H3" laser cut into them and again I was lucky enough to score a set.



Apparently ARB laser cut "FJ" into the rails for the FJ Cruiser roof rack they did for the US but Toyota got upset about them using "FJ" and threaten all manner of nasties. ARB had already made the H3 prototypes but subsequently decided to drop the laser cut H3 in production in case GM had a case of the "Toyota's"! End result was that I got a special set of rails to put my roof rack on!

I wanted the rack to be full length with the 4 spot lights across the front. Thought that was in keeping with the Hummer look and tradition. I have 1 support forward of where the rails end, but I do not put any weight there...keep it between the rails.

GREAT looking rig! Could you post some pictures of the way you mounted the awning? I bought a camping lab and mounted it to the rail on top, but I'm always looking to improve.

Thanks crop000.

It bolts directly to the roof rack through the aluminium backing rail of the awning. I don't have any pics but here a couple of videos I did ont eh awnings a while back.

If you need more info I'll be happy to take extra pics next time I have them rolled out.

Normally you would have 2 people to roll them out and it is really easy...a bit more clumsy trying to do it on your own!
