I'm considering converting my H2 to a 4 wheel dually... that's all 4 wheels as dually wheels. Anybody seen this? Any suggestions? Any ideas with the fender flares? I think this would be cool!

VT, in your photos I didn't see any serious beefing up to accomidate the front dually tires other than for lift clearance, did you?
BTW, I'm planning only minimal lift to avoid rubbing the tires on the body. I believe the rear shouldn't be a problem.
I got an estimate for $3500 for the adapters, all chrome alloy wheels and hardware.
I'm going to have the fenders made of fiber glass- bolt on style (first i thought hidden bolts but if the bolts show, it might be kind of a frankenstein military look.

Well here are the pics of the custom dually! Kinda back yard job looking at the way they did some things. Check out the welded "add on" parts! LOL!

Ok, I got 3 responses in only minutes so I must be on to something... #1 why do we customize our H2's anyway- most of which isn't that functional, but think of the center of gravity and cornering- like a kids Hot wheels car... #2 No I haven't seen this outside my minds eye, but there it looks really cool... #3 I think both a little genious and a little insanity and no I'm not kidding so any good suggestions are helpful. There are dually conversion kits out there.

I didn't see anything other than some farm hand "ingenuity". I think that the idea you have can work, and I see the pic you added. You might have to have some custom body side molding done to get it looking correct. I also would leave the bolts showing only to make it look mean, but it is your call. It seems like a huge project, but if your up to it I say go for it!

Thanks VT. I'm very serious about this conversion. If you see the guy and can get his number, I'd love to talk with him about any problems he's encountered, but photos only would be more than enough. I've got a car customizer ready to do the fender/body mods. Although financially prohibitive, I would love to cut the H2 body longitudinally and add 15-18" to the width of the body and have no added fender flare, just a widened body, how cool- nobody would mistaken it for an H3 for sure!

everyone is being willy nilly... its an easy swap if you have all the stuff from a dually , you will need the rotor spacers to convert to the offset rims, that about it besides cutting away your body to make room for the rear duals being pushed up into the fenders. the rears could hard to do only because you don't have a floating rear axle, the duallys all have floaters so the hubs would be harder to convert.

Some folks have too much money.
Dual wheels in the front?
Are you kidding?

There is a thin line between genius and insanity. We'll have to see what side an 8 wheel H2 might come in on.
Then again, I think you're kidding.
