Re: H2 160K Overhaul
I would say your a Hummer GOD...but I see you have a Land Rover..so you have alot of experience on rebuilding trucks!
I restored a 1967 88" Land Rover and learned alot from it. |
Re: H2 160K Overhaul
wow...what a great rebuild thread. its a great feeling when you fix old worn out parts. the creidit card bill hurts, but its a great feeling when old rusted worn down parts get tossed out. hopefully i wont have to do this to my hummer for a while, but im in the stages of doing some of these upgrades to my silverado 2500 with 264K on it.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
220k update.
All the restored parts are doing fine minus the boot on that one half shaft. $500 ebay compressor that we changed at 150~K is dead again but i think that was a good run. New list..... Rear door locks not working Change instrument cluster Extend rock slides Drop steps On star fuse Day time running lights Fix no start Repaint the front end Rear air fix |
Re: H2 160K Overhaul
Compressor is out debating between fixing the motor.... $150 or dual stage unit $1,000.

That's quite a job, this forum has changed so much ever since I started lurking around years back. Used to be stereo and rims upgrades top to bottom, now it's a proper Tech section. Love it! :D |

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
i removed all the chrome off of mine with a power washer.
total time i think maybe an hour. from there i went and had it LineX not sure what he did for his |
Re: H2 160K Overhaul
Is that por15 your putting on the rusted crossmember? Brush on by the looks as well?
I need to get something and start getting the rusted knicks on my frame where something wiped the wax off the frame |

I heard about the power washer trick but the temp. in NJ is to low for that, so I'm doing in the HARD way scalpel and cutters. |

No, I'm using oldtimer recipe for "wax-oil". This frame is going to end up galvanized at some point anyway... POR-15 is great I recommend it. |
Re: H2 160K Overhaul
"No, I'm using oldtimer recipe for "wax-oil". This frame is going to end up galvanized at some point anyway..."
Do explain? Is the wax identical to the factory wax on the frame? did you get down to bare metal before you applied it? How is it made? Also how much, not including time spent removing everything from the frame would it cost to have the frame galvanized? Would it be dipped in zinc... or..... Curious minds wonder. |

No way, this recipe is before everything had to be environmentally friendly and safe for consumption in case your kids decide to lick the frame. Power wash area. Tar, axle grease, USED diesel engine oil.... Mix all, boil, put the fire out, apply hot. (Keep out of reach of children) :) |

They do architectural finish and acid dip. Got to clean the paint before. If we get over 500lbs it works out to be about 50 cents per pound and the closer to 4000lbs we get the deeper the discount gets. |

Hmm.. I don't think that's something to cook on the stove... haha But cool to know... The galvanizing is so cheap, that's pretty cool. |
Re: H2 160K Overhaul
Moving along...

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
Final front end colors, still got to repaint, the finish isn't good but that's what it's going to look like.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
Did you remove the letter out of the grille prior to painting? Are you going to put them back on?

What happened to this video? I'm having issues with my instrument cluster, windows, air suspension button, seat heater buttons and a couple of other things and trying to find a common denominator. Ideas? |
