My New Whip - Hummer H3steemCreated with Sketch.

in #blog6 years ago

So after months of looking and researching I finally bought me a new ride. I went with a 2006 Hummer H3 as it is an excellent platform for turning into an Off-Road Overlanding Vehicle and since it is built on the Chevy Colorado chassis and drive train getting parts is relatively easy.

Nice to see you back on track looking forward to seeing the customisation 💯🐒

Sadly the customizations are gonna cost more than the vehicle did.....most likely!

I want to add the following:

  • Custom Front Bumper with Bull Guard and Integrated 10 Ton Wireless Remote Winch
  • Custom Rear Bumper with Rear Skid Plate and Integrated 10 Ton Wireless Remote Winch
  • Roof Rack with rear facing LED Lights (mounted all the way to the rear of vehicle)
  • Rear Foldaway Ladder Mounted on Passengers rear side (for accessing roof top rack)
  • Hi-Lift Jack and Hood Mount for it
  • Air Snorkel (for water fjording)
  • 3" Body Lift
  • Aftermarket Adjustable Suspension (from inside the vehicle) with a 3" Suspension Lift
  • 35" Tires on 18-20" Full Bead Lock Rims
  • Cargo Area Slide Out Storage Tray with integrated water tank, sink, propane stove, etc.
  • Dometic (or ARB) 50 qt Fridge/Freezer on slide out tray (mounted on top of the above storage tray)
  • 400+ watts of Solar Panels (200 watts on roof in front of Roof Rack & 200 watts on hood) with dual charge controllers (one charges main vehicle battery that powers my 12 volt outlets the other charges secondary battery that is just for the fridge/freezer and water pump
  • Install 360 degree Pendulum Hitch on rear for custom built tiny camper (sleeping quarters with desk, additional solar panels/batteries, Composting Toilet, extra water tank that is solar heated for outdoor showering and more storage)

I paid $9100 (after TTL) for the Hummer H3 and will probably spend another $15,000 to get it the way I want it. This is going to be my RETIREMENT VEHICLE/HOME so I can do the traveling I want to do on a budget.

That is going to one hell of a motor perfect to get around in. wish you all the best 💯🐒

I didn't realize it was buit on the Colorado chassis and drive train. That is the nice thing about GM products. They utilize the same parts for a lot of their different vehicles so the cost of replacement can be a lot less.
