Just bought an H2 SUT - lots of questions

[Egan]

Carfax was indeed pulled.

Are the headlights adjustable? There is one hole in the front.

I haven't washed it yet, but here's a couple of pics after de-chrome stage 1 (steps and hub covers). The chrome gas door is off too, but I'm waiting for the proper surround to come from gmpartsdirect.

WELCOME!

Regarding the mirrors...your motors are more than likely seized up. Check this thread out: http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ght=mirror+fix. You've got to drill down a bit, but EasyEd posted pics to his fix and I posted a one page printable summary of his steps in the thread as well, also found here: ftp://www.guruerror.com/easy_eds_mir...et_edition.pdf

It looks like your windshield trim (aka MOLDING, Windshield Garnish & Reveal) will set you back about $42.63. Part number: 15857806

Nice SUT! Your front windshield was obviously replaced and they did a poor job of replacing the trim pieces. As someone already said, you'll have to stick them to the windshield or they will buzz loudly. Replacing windshields are common on the H2. I'm on my third. Because of the upright angle of the windshield it cracks easily when hit by gravel on the road.
The rails indicate it once had a tonneau cover - they don't come with that rail. The gap on the roof trim is puzzling. Looks like someone punched out your lock in the bed compartment. You can get a new lock from a parts store, however, I don't think that's a very expensive part from GM. Your tires have lots of tread and look brand new in the pictures!

I thought all SUTs came with those rails on the bed sides...just like all H2s come with the ones on the roof.

GM #10397710 and 10397711 (40 on the diagram)

Yep, I think all SUTs come with those bed rails.

Thanks everyone for the links. I did a lot of searching on this forum last night. I may be able to get the mirror fixed under an extended warranty if I can get it transferred. Otherwise the posts guruerror linked will come in handy.

I found a complete storage lid with lock and key on ebay for $50 so that worked out well. I'm still trying to find black hood latches and hood handles, but I may just Line-X them along with the bumpers.

Yes, the tires are in great shape. They're the same BFG AT KO's I have on my Titan, even the same 315/70/17 size. Those tires are near shot now and have 60K miles on them!

My other immediate projects:

Swap coils for airbags (parts already ordered)
Move the Yakima Load Warrior from the Titan to the H2 (have to wait on this or I won't be able to get it in the garage and on the lift to do the coils)
Rack for the bed (I gave up a lot of space from the Titan and will need something for camping and mountain biking)
Move the Pioneer AVIC out of the Titan and over to the H2
Move my air horns off the Titan and over to the H2
CB and spare tire antenna mount
