Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
IIRC i used either the Groits or the mothers back to black, and did all my plastic, and hood vent as well. still looks great.. a little faded but it has been some time now with a 1 year deployment in there too..
maybe its time to touch up

Awesome, do love the lift. I guess only in TX though, that thing wouldn't pass inspection here. Nice job!

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
Just for grins, how much did your mileage drop?

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
It's actually gone UP by 1 mpg so far! I was at a steady 9.0 for the past 7 years. It's now up to 10.1. Whoo hoo!

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
That can't be right. Is your mph and odometer off?

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
Nope, odometer is spot on. I did go with a bigger gear ratio tho, I was running stock before.

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
Did you just reset your mpg calculator then? There is no way your mpg should get better after adding a lift and giant tires.

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
She had 38 or 40s on the previous 6" fabtech running stock gears. Thats so far off some the stock ratio, its horrible gas mileage. Even going up another size, I can see getting an improvement w regearing- gets you back in that "power band".
I went from 12 to 8.5 w/ my wheels/tires, im almost finished installing 5.13 gears in my ride. I'm thinking I should be back around 9.5-10mpg.

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
Griots does work great! No need to use the prep stuff at all, just a good wash first. It applies much better when you pick up one of those thin foam paint brushes at home depot - it helps to get in the tight corners etc.

Re: 2003 H2 with 12" lift and 42s
Mileage is up to 10.8!
Ok, so I've had this thing for a while now and it's still bad ass.  You get used to driving it and forget about what you're in most of the time. I got knocked back to reality the other day coming out of the store - sorry for the crappy picture, but you get the idea. That's a FULL SIZED Chevy pickup it's sitting next to. The bottom of my window is at their roof level. LOVE!
