I only have 3000 miles on my H3. So, I just removed the bottom 5 bolts and put the spider on there... no runs, no drips, no errors. I think the pumpkin cover is RTV'd at the factory.

The beefy Hellwig sway bar is 1 1/4 inch (some sales sites are calling it 1 1/8 inch, but it is 1 1/4). It came with poly bushings for the front sway bar, too. It makes a huge difference in the body roll I was experiencing in rear with the stock set up.

The only drawback is that I haven't gotten the parts together to make my own quick disconnects, yet. I really wanted the "orange" Amstar Disconnects (not because of the color, but because they are made for the H3 and look beefy), but who knows if they are every going to sell them. So, I am still deciding on which disconnects to modify. I am looking for this Ipe extend travel thread to see what he used. Anybody have any suggestions.

Now all I need is the SAW T bars and Samco Shackles to arrive in the mail and I am done with the undercarriage/suspension.

Next up, finishing up the stereo/nav install. Got my JL Stealthbox the other day, and I am tracking the "monsoon" rear quarter panel through UPS. Should get here during next week. I'll post pix, of course!

Took the rig out today. Didn't really hit any "real" rock crawling spots, but did some "high speed" washboard passes. Wow, I feel like Rod Hall, all of the sudden! The Fox shocks were really eating up the bumps!! I ran some of our normal trails up here on the way to rock climbing this afternoon. Didn't even come close to hitting anything... when I got home my camera was sitting on the table, patiently waiting for my return. Dooh!

I didn't think I was going to like the Hunner shackle skids, but now that they are on there, I dig 'em.
