Big Changes Comming.....

[HumminNBoatin']

Many of you know my truck pretty well the way is sits now....






But I am about to commit MURDER! Hopfully the the end of the week the truck will look totally different. This is the latest addition to the truck. Stay tuned its about to get a little crazy. And when I am done..... A FOR SALE sign will apprear on it. Thats right boys its time for me to upgrade! lol

Here is the first big change!.. New tire carrier. I had a factory one completely rebuilt to lift the tire 7" over factory height and tilted in toward the truck. Thus allowing for better departure angle. I had the carrier tilted in toward the body of the truck as well. IMO the factory carrier gave the illusion that the tire was falling away from the truck.


I will keep you guys posted.

Hi what are you going to buy if you sell it?

[Lucky1]

That is awesome ! That is exactly what I have been wishing for since Hummers first came out. I always have to use a long extention for the hitch tongue when towing and if I leave home without it I have to remove the spare tire . It won't clear when towing a trailer. That was really smart to lift the spare up and out of the way. It also always looked like the spare was too far away from the truck and leaned outward at the top. Can you take some pics from the side and up close of the tire carrier? I need to have this done ASAP ?

There is only 1 upgrade from an H2.... lol

I will get some more pix of the truck tonight!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!.... Eric finally moving on up to the big boys with an H1!
Well... good to hear man, good luck with all of it.
and Yeah, i wanna see some of those pics too, I've always thought of the same thing.

Hi Eric, good luck with your H2 sale, can't wait to see your new 1

Looks real nice, but why do these up grades if your just going to sell it?

[HumminNBoatin']

It might take a while to sell. And I want it to look good for the next owner.

[Lucky1]

Eric that is Bad Ass ! The spare tire carriers angle has always bothered me. Heck all your upgrades are cool.

[HummerJim]

Nice to see the Hummer used the way it was meant to be used. You're the man!

[seventwozero]

it's the end of the week! more pictures!

[HumminNBoatin']

Getting closer...... I took some more pix last night. I think I have a buyer for the truck the way it sits. So I may hold off from Black Chroming all the rest of the stuff on the truck.

Where did you get the carrier modded? Welding shop? I like that look! What did they charge?

[HumminNBoatin']

I had my dad do it for me. The bottom piece is made from 2"x4"x1/4" and the A frame is 2"x4"x3/16. The mounting braket was just cut off from the factory unit. He tilted the A frame in 6 1/2 Degrees.

If you want one I can probably get you one made for roughly $600. We are still working on the mounting braket for the licence plate. Its going to be pretty sweet. My dad is making a plate frame that will mount to the half moon in the center of the tire. It will be mounted like a reece hitch. I will take some pictures as soon as its done.

That's..........a bit overkill on the angle of that tire IMO....
But I like where you're going with it.

Got the License plate mount done.

[Lucky1]

Is it just a coincidence that all the screws and bolts on your license plate light and frame are screwed in perfectly even with the heads aligned ? If so you might be as anal as me. Whoever buys your truck should really appreciate that special care.
