Here's a lifted Hummer...





aka: Mini Me.

HAHA that is cool. Did you build yours before ya found it?

[Bimmer9938]

I found it after I built mine, but I had to paint it black to match Big Black.

OK, I finally decided to post my story. I didn't go too crazy on the pics, but here are some pics that show my journey.

This takes the time from when I first got my ride until where it is at today. Lot of work, lot off changes, but still have a lot to do. At the end of the day, I have come to the realization that black on black is the only way to go. I have been looking for the right place to do paint, but it may be a while due to $$$.

I had to add the toy Hummer too like Bimmer, my wife bought it and had a body shop custom match the factory paint and paint it to match mine and surprised me with it as one of the toppers on our wedding cake, it was awesome.

Nice job, dude. Now, the real question...do you actually get it dirty?

EDIT: here's what you need next...raise the rear tire. It really gives the truck a better look.

Of course! Broke a CV just last month too add. Forgot to mention that I pulled the air system and am rocking coils underneath with Bilsteins too because the air system couldn't hang where I was needing to go when I am back and forth from Idaho to Utah. Too bad the pics don't do justice to some of the minor body damage, hence the motivating factor in spending a grip to repaint.

I understand washing, taking care of, and babying your truck as these are all things I do as well, but let's not forget why we bought these things in the first place. If your not using it, then there is no reason to make all of these kinds of adds in my opinion.

AGREED!

Here's what you need next...raise the rear tire. It really gives the truck a better look from the rear...

Yah, I saw your pics on that a while ago before I picked up the spare carrier, so I was trying to find a solution to that before I got the spare carrier as I had concerns about whether it would fit the 40" or not. Didn't want to go roof mount because I was packing on the roof before I got the new rack and didn't like hearing the spare bouncing and shaking around up there. Also didn't like the pressure I saw it putting on the rack itself.

I ended up getting this swing arm off of a friends '08, $100, so you know I couldn't pass that up. Problem now is finding someone that can fabricate and do a clean job like yours because I really don't like how low it sits, looks kind of stupid.I also wanted to place a slight slant on it towards the vehicle. My offroad shop here does not fabricate so I am taking the time to find a decent shop. Had to do so much modding on my own with stuff already that I don't want to get into it unless it is going to be durable and clean. I have more modding yet that needs to be done so if you know of a good shop in my area, pass me a name.

BTW, love the rig man; nothing like a real man's Hummer.

H2Much,

How did you get enough clearance to fit the 40" tire on the stock swingarm? I needed spacers to fit my 38X13.5" Toyo. I'm assuming your's is 15.5" wide?

Thank you,

Charles

Truck looks KILLER!!! Treehugger looks incredible and those 40's are beast!! Keep up the good work!

Charles, I don't really know what to say about that. I had a major concern with the wheel and tire fitting before I got the swingarm, so I was looking around for a special one to accomodate. When my friend picked up his '08, he said he didn't want the swingarm. He had 37's on there and said it fit no prob, so I took him up on it. When I went over to get it we through my 40" on there and it fit perfectly, no problems at all, so I can't really say what the deal is unless it is the offset on the rim.

And yes, the tire is 15.5" wide, so it really must be the wheel offset I am thinking with those rockstars. Other than that, no modification to it at all.

It is also possible that they changed the swingarms in the later year models to accomodate larger tires, but I am not sure. I would go and ask a Hummer dealer, but they are extinct.

man you guys got me wanting to lift my hummer more. i only did the front leveling kit, and im working on throwing some 37's on the stock 17's. not even worth putting up pictures with these guys rides.

[tyler1bo]

Lift it!! Mine is just sitting on a truxxx lift right now with 35's..but hopefully going up soon!

[2010_5thgen]

well, i have the chevy green torsion keys for the front to raise it about 2", and i was thinking of doing spring spacers for the rear. just to lift the rear about 2 more inches. that with the 37's, i think that should give me the look im wanting. and new shocks off course
