Thanks for the compliments, the tires are 38" Kuhmo's on 20x10 Revolvers and 2" lift all around. The light bar is custom built by myself.

Damn! That's MEAN!!!

What's the offset on those wheels? I'd like to see them in on a 37inch tire. Are those 38x15!? I love it. I wonder if they'd look as good a 37x13.5 inch kuhmo Did they rub before you had a lift or did you do them both at the same time. Do you know what your overall height increase was? That thing probably wouldn't fit into my garage. I had to take off all of my cross bars just to fit into mine. I may have 3 inches of space tops.. I'd be afraid to do a lift other than 37" tires alone out of fear that I wouldn't fit into my garage.

Here's my 17" revolvers with 35's. I wanted to stay stock for now due to use of vehicle...

I really like the black revolvers.... all the chrome is at the powder coater right now... going with a black/blue scheme....

Offset is -24mm, they rub a little at full turn on the backside of the inner fender well thats w/ the lift. I lifted it before I got the wheels.

I wonder if they'd fit (a 37'' that is) without a lift. I guess we'll see. Looks awesome. I'm happy to see some new pics boys!!! Not much action on this site after the sale of Hummer. Nice to see some of you are still as interested in the brand as I still am.

Happy New Year to all!

37" Kuhmos shoud fit no problem w/out a lift, they are slightly undersized compared to to other brands.

Please get us some more pics! I love that thing. I think I'd like to do mine very similar to it with 37" tires. If I can fit into my garage I'll be thrilled.
Are those tires really 15.5 inches wide? I was looking on the Kuhmo site and the 38inch tires only come in 15 inches wide. How far do they stick out? Do they make the truck handle a lot different? A lot of owners say that they tend to suck you off of the road.. Is that true? I'd hate to ruin the ride.. I think mine handles well for such a large vehicle.

Also, What kind of lift did you use?

I have air ride so I'm not sure how I can lift mine or if I even can..

ehaser,,
It ain't fittin in a standard size garage. The tire size is correct. Tire manners are not bad at all,pretty decent on the highway, road noise isn't bad, overall I am impressed with the tires. Although they are heavy (125lbs rim&tire), I lost about 2mpg. I used green keys up front and alluminum spring spacers outback. Air suspension can be lifted, do a search on 2" lifts you'll find a usefull thread on the subject.

The lights are PepBoy specials believe it or not, $25 a pair. So I spent about $100 bucks on them.LOL!

Very sharp truck..

how do you go about mounting the lights in the roof cross bar??


Also.. looks like you have HIDs... what brand did you go with? 35 or 55 watt and what color temp?

I used nut-serts they are like a rivet but has threads. You drill the hole put in the nut-sert then bolt on the lamp. Bulbs are 55 watt halogen on light bar. HID's on head lamps, I have no idea on the specs.

Looks great man. I'm loving it. I'm probably going to hold off on the lift. I honestly dont feel like getting into getting shocks, tie rods, stabilizer, etc... Too much work. I'll probably be upgrading to an 09 sooner than later so it's probably not worth messing with a good thing. I don't really off road other than going to job sites or heading to the mountain for a weekend ski trip. Even then I'm just going from point A to B. Nothing major. If I could find a nice set up where I could fit 37's on the stock truck I'd do it. Otherwise, I'm probably going with 35's. Sucks that there isn't an easy solution. The truth is, I'm quite happy with almost every aspect of the stock truck. I'd just like to add some wheels/tires that look good without ruining what I already have and like.

I missed the pep boys part.... one last questions for ya..

Is that a center type pivot mount or a bracket type mount? It's very hard to tell from the pics.

Do you have a close up of the light mounted on the bar?

I just think that looks really good, so that is the route I am going....

Here is a few more.

Its a bracket mount. One bolt through the bracket into the roof rack.

BB, where did you get the lights, and what brand did you use? I've been kicking around a similair project, but the lights/mounts I'm looking at don't suit me.
