Started working on cleaning up the dana 60 front axle. Slowly but surely grinding away at the axle. The old brackets are all removed. Kingpin lower bearing race and seal are out, still need to remove the upper. It's Slowly looking like a clean axle

Ive only been to moab twice, loved it each time. I had kinda hoped as the world returned to normal, the outdoor craze would die down some. I realize the town needs economic development to survive but lets face is, more humans just encroaches on the wild beauty that is there, part of the appeal...

Not too much of an update. I did remove the dana 44 and the 10b, which have been sold to a good home. The h3 is now on jackstands for awhile while I slowly work on her. Parts have been slowly rolling in. I hope to have her on the ground by the end of summer.

Ramrod, That's more or less what I did. I haven't added a paddle style exterior handle yet, but that is in the plan. I found out the hardway that you need to keep the harness and switches plugged in, otherwise the other windows and locks don't work haha

Haven't done much with the h3 since moab. Replacement some stripped out spindle studs and went wheeling at AOAA. Outside of that I did snag a 14b full float rear axle to compliment the dana 60 front. I'll begin working on swapping the axles in the late spring.

Randy, I have also noticed the hot fluid, like so hot the pump will burn you within a half second hot. I installed a pass through heat sink cooler and that seems to help to a certain degree. Since i have the v8 i can run other accessory brackets made for LS motors and have a bracket sitting...

Not sure if you've added one or not, but i added a cross member in the front, basically just under the radiator. After cutting 2 off for the SAS, the Thorparts bumper kinda adds one at the end and then i added this up there under the radiator, close to where the steering box sits, otherwise...

This is great news! yea ive gone through a few sets myself of Dana/spicer ones. Not sure if the alignment shims or sleeves make them wear out faster or not, however it is annoying.

Spar6, I did, I caved and took it to the dealer, it was the BCM, was about $700-$800 to replace. you can source one yourself and install it but my understanding is that the dealer has to program is to your vehicle and VIN for security purposes. If you have a tech 2 or something maybe you can do...

What about keeping it narrower in the front (still wider than what what was there before) and then having a wider kick out part closet to the rear? I've seen that on a few sliders before, helps the rear "kick around"/protect the rear fender and wheel.

Finally got around to installing the factory reverse camera in the Thorparts rear bumper.

I'm always down for some more hummer swag!

Here are some build threads that have extensive information on SAS swaps: http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/threads/06-h3s-squeakin-h3-build.440/page-27#post-247222 http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/threads/cgalphas-solid-axle-swap-step-by-step.13496/

Hey all, unfortunately Molly and I will not be able to attend this year as she is pregnant and we are expecting our first in late feb/early march! Hopefully we will make it out in 2024 again. Looking forward to all the pics and recap, enjoy!

Nice work Acer!

Chris has a full set, I made 1 for the drivers door, more pics in my build thread but here are a couple

Get a scangauge or something similar to tell you what the actual engine temps are. The dash gauge is more of a dummy gauge and isn't really a good representation of where it should be sitting. plus i think somewhere along the line they adjusted the thermostat (GM did) to get the gauge to sit at...

This is awesome!! If I didn't have the SAS already i'd buy it. Love seeing new stuff come out in the H3 market!!

I still have all of the pics I uploaded. Im assuming all of those posts will need to be updated again with pics since they are hosted on tapatalk?

Local GMC dealer has one for 250k. Figured I'd get a comparison pic
