Yea this is the 3rd new one Dilo... The last yellow one didn't have the adventure package... I kept it for 2 days... and wasn't happy with the ride... so far this one holds up to the tests... IE 20-30mph over a speed table... and still feels solid... I didn't get to play around with the nav though cause they forgot my dvd lol... they are suppose to next day air it to me today so I should have it by Thursday... just in time for the weekend to go get myself lost lol... They also said a lot of the local trails are in there so .... that's kind of cool. Anyway I'll post more pictures after the Hummer event 6-8th. Thanks for the comments guys.

Did the Hummer dealer have to modify the suspension, speedometer and gears to have those 35 inch tires put on? WIll those tire rub the wheelwells when offroading?

They didn't modify anything. The speedometer is off by 4. something at 60mph. So no biggy to me. As far as the offroading... I will let you know not this weekend, but next weekend we have a Hummer event scheduled in the Ocala National Forest. I did take it over a few speed tables to test out the feel ... it feels solid and the only rubbing I've had so far is at full lock while turning. Though I haven't adjusted my T-Bars yet. I might do this before the event still thinking about it.

looks nice, but you do realize that the adventure and the base is the same exact suspension except for different shocks.


And no there are no modifications needed to fit 35's, a few cranks on the t-bars will help them clear the control arms but is not needed. There may be a slight rub at full lock if using stock rims but nothing major and aftermarket rims with more + offset will not rub at all.

Yea but the gear ratios in low lockfeel way different to me... Now I don't know what the numbers mean... I just know the feeling is a light and dark difference to me.

Regular
2.64:1 ratio
Adventure
4.03:1 ratio

That's the big difference right there besides the locking rear differential...the Borg Warner transfer case.

4:1 means, that for every 4 turns from the output of the transmission to the input of the transfer case, the output of the transfer caseturns 1 times...Thereby, getting the engine to rev higher while turning the wheels slower, so as to get all the mechanical torque from the engine easier to the wheels.

Does anybody know if it is even possible to have the H3 modified by the dealer to adjust the speedometer for bigger tires?
