Just picked up a 2009 H3T Alpha for my daughter's first rig. It was a SEMA truck for Daystar. I'm not big on the body lift but whatever, it's getting hard to find a white or blue [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=blue !important][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] alpha with low miles. Anyone interested in the Slant Back Snug top let me know. Not big on Yellow, but never know it might grow on me. Tires have to go as well. Those M-16's were beating the crap out of the wife all the way from AZ to Texas. lol

Very nice ride ... I wish they had made the H3T when I bought my 3 . The yellow and whit kinda looks like an over easy egg ( it's not a bad combo ) , at least it's not painted in the Daystar colors .

Well things change. Wound up buying my daughter a brand new Canyon Baby Max and decided to drive the H3T myself for a while. Just finally got the deck back from the stereo guy with the OE deck modified to except a backup camera. The tailgate bezel is just a hair different than a 2011 GMC Denali. Just one of the clips is in a slightly different location. The overall size and shape is almost a direct match so I had them use that to avoid them jenky license plate cameras and for it to look OE. Came out sweet. Now if I can just get the damn clearance light bezel that has been on backorder since NOVEMEBER of last year, I'd drive it every day. Sucks I finally have it repainted and dialed in and it's stuck in the driveway with the wiring harness exposed on the roof. lol I think I could have had a carbon fiber one fabricated by now.

Nav Tv modified the deck and the camera is factory GM for the 2011 GMC Denali. Definition on the deck is premium!

Paint came out sweet too. Was trying to wait for the clearance light bezel to take pictures of it. Back to the Daystar OE all white, but a blacked out all the chrome pieces. Looks much meaner!

I wouldn't hold your breath on those. They are discontinued and no back ordered. They have been discontinued for few years. So unless you find used set, set off a wrecked/salvage, or a NOS set that pops up for sale your most likely going be SOL unless you go the fabricated route or switch to the off-road lights

Very nice T! Keep on telling the wife "I'm fixing my 3 up for our son to drive when he's old enough" I'm not sure she believes me yet....lol

It looks great, the dechrome to black is worlds better than it was. Now you just need sliders and a brush guard to make it complete. I would have kept the slant back, it was already white, but that's just personal preference. When I had a white H3T I wanted a slant back, but I couldn't justify the ridiculous price tag.

Clearance Light Bezel Plastic Cover

FINALLY! So after over a year of trying to figure out a solution I have got a replacement. I've got everything from a full CAD file to Carbon Fiber negative. This was the biggest pain in the butt, but I have learned a lot and gained some very useful contacts throughout the process. I'll get some good pictures over the weekend and post them up. We might make a family trip out to Hollister Hills for Father Day to get some good photos and hit a couple trails with the H3T and the '16 Canyon Duramax I ended up getting for my daughter. After a lot of consideration I got her the Canyon so that she is in a brand new warrantied vehicle since she will be often helping shuttle around the younger siblings. I was so over the Hummer embarrassed to drive it with the wiring harness dangling and bouncing off the sun roof. But after seeing my daughter drive away in it the other night, I instantly fell back in love with it. It's not as comfortable as some of our other vehicles but it is just as capable as our JK Unlimited and looks way better doing just about everything.
