Canadian Hummer Club Forums

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!

Wow that is amazing!!



Do you have a front locker in there, or is that just the stock awesomeness workin?

no front locker for now, just pure stock awesomeness <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> .

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.

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:' /> .

lol gotta love the enthusiasm at the end of that vid ....so you're liking th MT's ? ..my Mickeys just came in ...cant wait to get them on ..Im using 4.88's in my rig and Im very happy with the change ...and Ive been running with those kryptonite tie rods and the cognito support bracket going on 2 years and no problems yet , knock on wood lol , even with my big tires....you'll be pleased with the mods .

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!

lol, that's a friend of mine got excited....his first trail experience and loved it <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... rgreen.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mrgreen:' /> . 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.
