Amstar Products Available (finally)

[cestwick]

We just got some info on some of the amstar products that are available through the dealership yesterday. We checked the part # with Amgeneral and it says "In Stock". I ordered some rear axle skid plates.

Part # 2868-9390-01 (in amgeneral system) retail for $210.00

Thanks for the news. How long to you recieve them? I have a new plate (to replace a bent one) to put on but I have been waiting for the skids to come out first. They should be easy to install. Put a floor jack under the spring to keep it compressed while you take off the bolts and put the skid plate on. Just re-tourqe them good!

I guess I will be going by my dealer today to see if I can place an order for the U-bolt skids. They must be gold plated for that price though!

I did a quick search for Shock/Axel skid plates which quickly translated into U-Bolt skid plates. There are LOTS of this sort of thing out there... Unfortunately none for the H3. But here's the kicker...

None of the ones I found online was priced above $75 bucks for the pair.

Like we all suspected, Amstar is trying to take us for a ride. Not cool. I will say that the price of this item at Cestwicks dealership is better than the price I got from my dealership but still, this is highway robbery.

I called my dealer and the part number didn't come up on his system??
He is going to call AMGeneral/Amstar and let me know.

Yeah $210 for a cut and stamped piece of metal with bolt holes seem expensive.

Prices go up....
20 years ago I bought a set from CONFER for a Jeep and I think they were about $50 /pair

could you get us the rest of the part #'s for all the products for the H3 or the place where the part #'s are listed. Would like to get the front bumber and the locking fuel door to star with and maybe so other $hit later down the road.

The front lockers are not available yet.

Team Hummer in Pasadena said they had a sheet with just a few Amstar items on it. No cataloge or anything yet?

I sadi "They Have a Web site with lots of stuff on it so expect some more phone calls"

Were there sighting of any other products? Last time I was at the dealer they had no idea about AMStar products and their availability. I am afraid they are a little slow on the uptake. Any other part numbers would save me a lot of the time with parts department. I am especially interested in the rear cargo drawers. Thanks!

[Desert Dan]

My dealer just called back and they do have the part number for the skids.

I will go there at lunch and order them. I'll see what else they have from AMSTAR.

The dealer should have cataloges and a display for the H3 goodies

I would like to see the rear drawer set up too.
I just took out the back seat and made a flat platform for sleeping on my next long trip.
