Default Re: ENGINEERS FOR Hall give tips for 4x4 H3 mods

I am going to explain it for the paste lickers.



This article is about an "Extreme" template that GM engineers that support and work for Team Hummer owned by ROD HALL made. They spend their days screwing around with your vehicle and checking it's performance off-road.

IN the midst of the article about the "extreme" H3 they built- with a 4 inch RANCHO lift and did some other pretty cool stuff too, imo. They mentioned this as a tip:

Quote:
Hubbard added that 35-inch tires also are something that serious off-roading H3 owners will want to consider. However, he suggested those owners not go to the extremes the engineering team did. Instead, he said all they really need to do is to do a one-inch body lift, which can be done with a dozen one-inch spacers and longer bolts.

He noted that the H3 brush guard can be adjusted to hide any resulting gap at the front of the vehicle and that the H3 fan shroud can be rotated to prevent the possibility of rubbing.

Hubbard said this setup is practical and maintains a lower center of gravity than the more extreme measures on the engineering truck***, which features a four-inch Rancho front suspension lift (see www.gorancho.com).

*** in which the original article is about.

I suggest if anyone thinks that what they have done to the template in the article is not "extreme" or offends them in any way, they may call or write them on the website.

I was posting the article for the tidbits of tips and the rest of it's content for its relative coolness.
