Good point, Phil. They really should decide what's best for wheeling these mall rigs.

If we can find a way to get it.
The wheels are 16" and won't work on the H2

Aww, crap. That sucks about the wheels. Is the bolt pattern different? (I'm just thinking if it is just the size, that shouldn't be a huge problem.)
I am sorry to ask questions, but how does a hydraulic bump stop work? Ours are just little rubber cone-like things, aren't they?

It'd be real nice if they were available in a 6x5.5 bolt pattern! Then it'd fit the H3

If you want beadlocks, take a look at the Center Line ones or get some Staun internals.

I understand, now. Sorry about being thick-headed. I am still learning! I was looking at the Staun internal beadlocks a few weeks ago and think that is the best way to go. I was just looking at these GM ones when they were posted because I prefer going the factory route, if possible.

That makes sense. I think I saw those in the thread with the desert racing H3, in the picture with the engine exposed.
Thanks again for the help.

Ok then, everyone that wants one, respond here, pony a few bucks to incorporate, and let's buy a few.

Why not just shoot your wad if you're going to shoot at all?

Trent called me in Moab and told me to check this out. Incorporation is a dandy idea.
Anyone want to buy a black Excursion?

I traded in my 2004 Excursion for my H2. I love the H2, but would love to pick up an Excursion again. I miss the turbo diesel!
