Just slapped on the wheels. To follow are Line-X all over, Fog Lights all around, Mudders, and whatever the budget allows. But before any of that I got to get it dirty now. This first timer cant wait!

Nice ride! I have the megawarrior basket too. I mounted it to the oem roof rails. It looks really good up there. I don't leave mine on all the time, it limits my parking garage options. What tires are you going to go with?

Much appreciated on the compliments/feedback guys!
R6realtor: Talk about double the pleasure! Even better as I saw your matching ATV. Triple the pleasure! Very Nice.
H3slate: Do you have pics of your rig? I would love to see what the megawarrior looks like on the OEM rails. The Thule rails are nicely priced but the drawback is the extra height it packs. You are correct on the garage clearance. Mine is hitting around 7 Feet.

Surprisingly my H3 w/ megawarrior will fit in my garage. I measured at 6' 9 1/2". My problem is the parking garages downtown and at the hospital. With no street parking available I can't go in the garages with the rack. I got the shovel bracket and hi-lift bracket for my rack also. Here are a couple of pics.

I love the look and it is not too noisy on the road. The hi-lift jack makes the most noise rattling the whole damn time! :mad:

It looks really good on your rig. I like the low profile of the OEM bars. My Thule crossbars extend quite a bit. Maybe its easy to attach a shovel, high lift, ect without additional parts buying. Yet to experiment.

The brackets from Yakima work great! It's the jack that is the problem. The base is held in with a cotter pin, so it wiggles and vibrates over every little bump. I am thinking about finding some rubber to put inbetween the base and jack so it doesn't move.

New2Dirt,
Great looking wheels!
Who makes the rims, model, and cost? The set included the spare; Five rims total?

These are Helo Maxx 8 on the stock 16" tires. I believe Wheel Pros is the distributer. These are probably the best priced black wheels around in this size range. Check with Discount Tire. At under $650 for all 5 wheels balanced, lugs, gorrila lock, and mounted. That is a steal in my opinion. Also Im sure their is room left for additional bargaining as well as I found out after the fact. But Im very happy with the purchase so all is well.
