Hey guys, just want to share the test of my newly installed MT tires and suspension at PolarBear playground. It was AWESOME <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... SMILEY.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' /> The traction of these tires compare to stock we're night and day....worth every penny. No rubbing issues....well, only on full turn <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> . Next install would be the Cognito UCA, steering support bracket, 4 Bilstein 5100 shocks, Kryptonite HD tie-rods and 4.88 gear to get the gas mileage and accelaration back. Thanks to Kevin and family for the exclusive use of their land and Marc a.k.a. Archangel for spotting the good line <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ght_on.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':right_on:' /> .
Enjoy!

Re: Newly installed MT tires test at PolarBear Playground
Jimmy's H2 was amazing at Polar Bear Playground. HE pass over obstacle almost like Put Put Put.
HE wanted mud,, he got mud, and went through it like a pro and came back same way. He went over rock, tree trunk, we did exercised our winches and overall it was a fabulous day even my misfortune.
I had no working front diff so I didnt made it very far in the mud as I was plowing it instead of evacuating it. But the problem is getting fix as we speak. Hope that this time it will work properly and that it will last.
Thx to Keven and family that made that day possible.

Hey guys, just want to share the test of my newly installed MT tires and suspension at PolarBear playground. It was AWESOME <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... SMILEY.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' /> The traction of these tires compare to stock we're night and day....worth every penny. No rubbing issues....well, only at full turn <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> . Next install would be the Cognito UCA and steering support bracket, 4 Bilstein 5100 shocks and Kryptonite HD tie-rods. Thanks to Kevin and family for the exclusive use of their land and Marc a.k.a.

Looked awesome.... Really think on those Bilsteins tHough... I only had mine on for a year before I ripped them off as they were seizing.... They were a horrible shock! I replaced with the adjustable rancho shocks and I couldn't be happier....

Oh no, did it happen on all 4 of them. I've heard good results from H2 owners that's why i'm replacing mine with these. Are you talkin' about the 5100? I have no problem with the ones on the truck yet, just need a longer than stock shocks because of gm green keys cranked 2" and 1.5" rear spacer that i've installed <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> .

Yup.... Granted they went through a bit of abuse.... But that's what they are for!!! I just had the rear done, passenger side started seizing so you'd get a grueling "bang" went you went over a bump after they had sat just overnight and was getting worse.... The rancho's are a much better offroad shock and the adjustability is awesome!!! They float over the bumps offroad then stiffen them up for city driving... Worth it!

I'm starting to like the MT's performance....well, compare to stock BFG's with the added ground clearance....from a stock 9" to almost 14"....it's AWESOME!. can't wait to see the pics on that Mickey's installed with your lifted SUT....it's gonna look bada*s. I've heard good result 'bout the kryptonite tie-rods, that's why i'm installing it instead of the cognito or the fabtech rods.
