I bought my 2003 H2 17 months ago and only got to drive it a week before going to Iraq to work. It had a 6' Fabtech lift and 38 inch tires on it. Looked really nice and I always wanted a big H2 so I bought it. The power was not bad, but it was not good like the Chevy race motors my dad used to build when I was growing up. Sooooo, the only right answer was a bigger motor. I went with a K1 4 inch stroker crank and K1 rods, Wiseco X series pistons and several other engine mods to include a Schneider custom ground cam. Now my 408 inch is about finished and ready to fire up. I will dyno test it and ensure the whole package is functioning as planned. I will post pics and they dyno results soon. I am going to mess with the stock intake and MAF see if it flows enough air to feed the 6.8 beast, or if the aftermarket intakes are the answer....I live in Germany (when not working in Iraq) and plan to ship it there soon. I can't wait to fire it up on Sunday morning in my village and see how long it takes for the Polezei to show up.....
The only problem I forsee is the Nittos are rated for 106 mph, and on that may cause me some problems on the Autobahn.....and I dont see any Z rated off road tires for sale.....

 

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a nice looking truck. Post pics as soon as you can.

 

Thanks. It is on jackstands right now, and the engine is in the assembly process. I will get pics posted with the new wheels and tires in about three weeks.

 

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like quite a project you have going. Looking forward to the pictures.
