Purchasing an H3 today. Looking for advice and thoughts on first mods?
This afternoon I will pick up a 2006 H3
Right off the bat we need to get Headrest DVD's for the kids. Don't worry I won't be that guy driving around with the DVDs on with no one in the back seat. My ? is should I get the DVD from the dealer or go aftermarket. Any experiences?
I also want to get new tires put on it. I am thinking 35s. Any problem with rubbing, noise, etc..? Recommendations?
Any other thoughts are more than welcome
thx

Re: Purchasing an H3 today. Looking for advice and thoughts on first mods?
buy it with the headrest already in, and as far as tires.. they will fit but take a look around at some other threads, it is a popular topic.
Good luck with you buying one, and let us know what ya got.

Just remember you get what you pay for, I have the dual head rest and they are awesum,,,, if you go with the 35's they look great!! but with stock tires they will rub if you pin the wheels (no more 37 ft turnning circle) is your truck an o6' or o7'?

Now you tell me, Thanks RYD! j/k
Ryd is right! if you decide to do what I did and have a street look, you will be cleaning your rims alot. But if its a off-road look you want and you will go off roading I am sure of it. Look in other threads, you can learn so much in these forums. Everyone here will help you out.

I have them in my front driving lights and rear reverse lights. They are seperate lights and you need to drill the holes for them.

Re: Purchasing an H3 today. Looking for advice and thoughts on first mods?
I use them out front of the skate park when we have a special event going on. However, I travel alot and have used them on several occasions when I was the first person at a scene of severe accidents.
Note* you can not use these while driving. And they make good strobe lights for dancing at the beach.
