HAHA that is cool. Did you build yours before ya found it?

[Bimmer9938]

I found it after I built mine, but I had to paint it black to match Big Black.

OK, I finally decided to post my story. I didn't go too crazy on the pics, but here are some pics that show my journey.

This takes the time from when I first got my ride until where it is at today. Lot of work, lot off changes, but still have a lot to do. At the end of the day, I have come to the realization that black on black is the only way to go. I have been looking for the right place to do paint, but it may be a while due to $$$.

I had to add the toy Hummer too like Bimmer, my wife bought it and had a body shop custom match the factory paint and paint it to match mine and surprised me with it as one of the toppers on our wedding cake, it was awesome.

- Black paint job
- Custom black leather interior
- Custom hiding spots for my James Bond stuff inside
- Coated from head to toe in offroad lights

Nice job, dude. Now, the real question...do you actually get it dirty?

EDIT: here's what you need next...raise the rear tire. It really gives the truck a better look.

Charles, I don't really know what to say about that. I had a major concern with the wheel and tire fitting before I got the swingarm, so I was looking around for a special one to accomodate. When my friend picked up his '08, he said he didn't want the swingarm. He had 37's on there and said it fit no prob, so I took him up on it. When I went over to get it we through my 40" on there and it fit perfectly, no problems at all, so I can't really say what the deal is unless it is the offset on the rim.

And yes, the tire is 15.5" wide, so it really must be the wheel offset I am thinking with those rockstars. Other than that, no modification to it at all.

It is also possible that they changed the swingarms in the later year models to accomodate larger tires, but I am not sure. I would go and ask a Hummer dealer, but they are extinct.
