I knew someone who had a cavalier and he was in an accident. The airbags deployed. The air pressure in the car was so strong that it blewout the sunroof and he really felt it in his ears. That's with a vented car.
Just a thought, but you might want to find a solution for the vent, just in case.

Actually its in the Green Supercharged H2 right now. I rotate it around so each of the vehicles can have its turn carrying it.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">That rear door sure lost some weight.

I noticed the jack/tools are on the cargo space, did you also lost the mounting bracket? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, the rear door flys open now. And all the original mounting brackets are still in place. The only modification was to the exterior sheet metal. All interior parts are intact. If I wanted to remount the bracket it would take all of 4 drill holes and would be done.

I say give the H3's four or five years, probably less and we will see how many of the rear doors are sagging like every other GM setup ie) specifically the Jimmy. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That looks great! BTW: How much it cost for the work?

ShaunH3,

I was only kidding and that comment wasn't directed at you. It was from that other post.

Just having fun.


ShaunH3 09-05-2005 11:16 PM

Sharkster: That looks really good! However that would take a ridiculous amount of work on top of what I had done already to get it to look like that. But I still think that HUMMER should offer something similar to what either I have done or you have in your picture. Sort of what they did for the H2's. Not everyone likes a huge tire on the back, and would be nice to have an option from the factory.

H3OH: I didn't catch on to you referring to the other post at first read. But it actually is in the back of the Supercharged H2 right now....hehehe

The work cost $800 CND, but the shop said they had to put an additional 8 hours of work on top of what they quoted. So basically the garage said they wouldn't touch another for less than $1200

I will relocate the vent if there is something warranting it. Right now there is no noticable difference. Come winter if there is alot of condensation or cold spots in the truck then the vent will probably go in a wheel well.

I'll bet with the weight of the spare off it, the rear door about throws you to the ground when you open it! LOL!

bparker 09-06-2005 01:33 AM

Ugh, I like the shaved look - but hummm - wats up with all the chrome accent?

Maybe if I got my teeth chromed I would understand..

wannabeH3 09-06-2005 04:18 AM

dude shaun, that looks like the ****, i want to seriously get that done to mine too.. so do i just go to any reputable body shop and be like yo shave my **** or what?

Hahahahah!

No kidding! I'd like to see a video of it opening now. With the tire, it starts off slow at first, then hauls ass to full open. I can't imagine what that's like now. LOL!

And I'm super slow as I thought the only change from Sharksters posts was the Hummer logo. I Just saw it all flattened with solid indent at bottom.

LOL

Yeah, basically just "shave my ****"......hahahaha You might be coming out with more than you asked for if you say that.

All I did was take everything off, and went to a local body shop and had him look at it and quote me on what he could do it for. The quote was very important.....saved me $400.00 of labor!

I will try to get a video of the door opening...it really FLYS open!!

Hummer crazy 10-02-2005 04:22 AM

Nice job looks so clean like that I love it

x-humm 10-03-2005 01:51 AM

Hey Sharkster, I am planning to do the same modification. I was planning to get a roof rack and put the spare on top along with shovel and jack.

Ely 10-03-2005 03:43 AM

Looks very plain if you ask me... Try getting some exhaust or something.

Crashtest 10-03-2005 04:43 AM

Looks neat, but that bare rear really needs HUMMER in big bold letters.

jp's-h3 02-05-2006 02:35 AM

Hey, to each his own!
personally I think the rear tire carrier looks cool. a great place to install my rear camera.

Very nice.. I had my H3 for about 2 hours and off came my spare. Im leaving my mount holes alone so I have the option to put back on for trips. If it wasnt for that reason I would be looking for a body shop too. Again,,,, Very Nice... Heres a pic of mine. You can compare the look of both. Really like yours better..

hdfatboy 02-13-2006 10:03 PM

Nice exhaust what type or brand is it?
