- Hey everyone! I wanted to share my 2022 offroad trip to Black Mountain Off Road Adventure Area in Harlan, Kentucky. This was a trip that was planned out with a couple of other Hummer guys. In total, there were three Hummer H3 Alphas and one Hummer H2. We did have a CV axle break on one of Hummers but we were able to change it out no problem. It was a great weekend for wheeling and the weather was perfect!
If you like what you see in this video and have a Hummer, The Hummer Club Inc. does put on a Hummer event every year here at Black Mountain. Typically the event is planned sometime between March and and July. All Hummer Club events are posted at the beginning of the year in January. Black Mountain 2022 has already taken place this past March, but be sure to look out for Black Mountain 2023, by checking out The Hummer Club Inc’s official website for event details: thehummerclubinc.com I hope you guys like the video! It was a great time and I hope to see you attend a future Hummer Club event!

Thank God, someone finally airs down the tires in these off road videos.
This awesome! Really shows you what the H3 can do.
Beautiful rigs! Love my H3
Nice to see hummers in action i have h3t and h2 love them both.
That's great to hear!
@@4lowmode if you all ever make it to colorado for some off road adventure let me know.
looked like a good time. Wish I could have went.
Great vlog
That was so cool glad you guys are ha Tony fun.
Thanks for watching! 😁😁😁
looks like such a fun off road park!
Its a pretty great offroad park! Black Mountain is the largest mount in the State of Kentucky at 4144FT! It was certainly a climb to the top!
So glad you still post videos. I have an rebuilt 06 H3 base model that I’m slowly modding. I can’t wait till it’s ready for black mountain, hopefully with you guys!
Also what suspension lift do you have on yours?
We would love to have you out! The next Hummer Club Black Mountain trip should be somewhere between March and and July of 2023. Hummer Club events are posted at the start of January, so we will know the exact event dates by then. Hope to see you there!

In terms of my lift, I have a combination of things:
- 4in Rancho Lift Kit
- 1in Daystar Body Lift
- Front Torsion Bar Crank
- Rear Shackle Lift
- Custom rear air suspension
- 38in tires
Unfortunately Rancho stopped producing their 4” lift kit for the H3 in 2016. The only real way to get one now is to buy a H3 that has one and swap all the lift kit parts over to your H3. Sometimes people will sell their Rancho lift kits on Facebook, the forums, craigslist, etc if they are doing a custom suspension setup on their H3 and they no longer need it but it is rare.
Another great video. Keep up good work!!
Thanks so much! More great content to come!
Looks like a fun area. Your rig’s looking good.
Thanks man!
That red turbo s looked pretty good
Great video!! I have a 08 that I took to the badlands in Indiana a few times but it has had a blown engine for about 7 years now!! :(((
Nice to see the h2 and 3 off road don't see many here in the UK prob because so thirsty bet you lot didn't get good miles to the gallon lol
Nice!
my god are those fans going lol
your dad's car loves the hotel parking lot. lol
I have a 2006 H3 Hummer adventure package. I would love to come out and be involved in a Hummer group!!
Great ride! The axle shafts of the H3 are weak. especially when the corners are large due to the lift. I also broke a couple of axle shafts on my H3. I had to let go of the torsion bars. But I have 33 tires, and here, apparently, 37 are installed. The load is too much!
Yeah the H3 CV axles suck. I have had good luck using the OEM AC Delco ones. Any cheaper aftermarket versions tend to break a lot easier as you can clearly see in this video lol. Yeah every time we go on a Hummer trip somebody's CV axle always breaks 😂.
AMAZING H3 BRO! ARE THOSE 37s ON YOURS?
What's your wheel and tire specs? I like the look, may want to do something similar to the H3 I'm rebuilding right now.
It would be awesome if the new hummer has a combustion engine, diesel is preferred
I love the content of your videos but I need to ask you a off subject question . I have a 06 H3 hummer I tow behind my class c motorhome 4 down .I follow manufacturer directions on procedure but after towing several hours battery is dead. What would you recommend to prevent this. Thanks so much for any info on this subject.
Is that the 3.5 in the h3 with dual exhaust? Sounds pretty good
That clicking sound, was awfully similar to the noise I had when my transfer case went out
Ended up being the front drive shift CV Joint

Was it you who stated in another video that you don't like the aftermarket suspension parts?
@@hummerownersofamerica If you are referring to OEM replacement suspension parts, then yes I don't like cheaper aftermarket replacements. When buying critical vehicle replacement components that are necessary to make the vehicle function properly, I always recommend going with GM Genuine Parts/AC Delco because they are the best quality and strongest. In this video, my Dad put in a replacement CV axle from CarQuest instead of GM Genuine, which is a private label Advance Auto Parts brand. The first time he took his H3 offroad with it, he broke it. If he would have put in a Genuine CV axle it wouldn't have broken. Now if I misunderstood you, and you actually were asking if I like aftermarket suspension upgrades, the answer is yes. The only thing that I don't think you need is a aftermarket torsion key install. Your OEM ones do the same thing.
What rock sliders do you have there? Looking to get some for my H3.
Great video! What camera are you running in the hummer that’s a nice set up!
Thanks man! Are you referring to the camera I use to record dash cam footage or my offroad camera view on my headunit?
Hey I have a Hummer h3 and I was wondering how you fit the 37's or 40's under your hummers
What did the clicking on your dads H3 at the end of the video end up being?
I just restored my front suspension completely with duralast parts. I heard your comment bout getting only oem parts you got me thinking I did some reading and they say the are either equal or superior to oem parts. What you think?
Why does Josiah’s rig look like it’s wheeling on the surface of the sun and constantly overheating? ALSO… where’s the Badlands video?!?!?
Does your H3 have the Adventure Package?
Looks like several of the H3's have the Rancho Lift Kit. Do you know of any other companies that "CURRENTLY" offer suspension kits for a H3T? Suggestions beyond a leveling kit/Torsion key ? Will the Bilstein 5100's provide enough suspension for such a trail?
Heyo, I have an H3T. the back is easy, rear lift springs exist (and are much better quality then oem), made by old man emu, you can also do a spring over axle conversion. The problem is the front, and the short answer is no, there is nothing in the aftermarket like that. Closest I remember seeing was someone using body lift pucks as a makeshift diff drop, might let you crank the bars another half inch to an inch. Anything more is gonna require a custom setup.
As for the 5100s, they keep up with my rear, even when my sway bar links can't lmao. And I believe people run them on the rancho lift without issue
Edit: I just realized they’re bilstein shocks but my question still remains 😅
Hi! I’ve recently gained interest in the H3 line up. my wife and I think it would be a great upgrade for our growing family.
I can’t leave anything unmodified, with that being said I’m already looking for suspension mods for when I decide to make the purchase on a hummer 😬
I noticed in one of your videos you or your dad has fox 2.0 reservoir shocks? At least I think that’s what I saw.
If you do, where do you find them and/or what vehicle do you buy them for ? Are you running reservoir shocks in the front as well?
I’m not huge into crawling, more into fast driving. Fire roads, beaches, dunes etc.
But unfortunately can’t find anything better than the fox 2.0 non reservoir shocks.
My goal is to maximize UP travel so a one inch body lift as well as a bit of a torsion crank with rear shackles
Possibly cut out the factory bump stop bracket and fabricate one that’s and inch or so higher(if possible) to gain some up travel without slamming the tire into the fender.
Anyway, loving the videos so far and hopefully I’ll be rolling around in my own h3 here in the near future.
Cheers
If you haven't found one yet look for the adventure package 09 back has a factory rear locker and 09 and up has front and rear lockers
What engine and transmission you got brother?
Will the H3 break down easily?
한국 허머 클럽에서 재미나게 보고 갑니다
how many inches is the lift kit on the black hummer ? ?? its badass
It has a 4in Rancho lift kit, 1.25in body lift, front t-bar crank/rear extended shackles, and 37in tires.
@@4lowmode thank you !
Were you mostly in 4hi and D? Or do you use 4lo and 1?
Also are you or your dad regeared to 4:56?
On that first rock obstacle I got a little excited and actually did it in Drive in 4 Low but for the other technical stuff I was using 4 Low 2nd gear. Both of our H3s still have the stock Alpha gears which are 4.10s. I have been wanting to upgrade to 4.56s.
Only asking because my alpha 35" was struggling recently in a similar steep climb and yours looked fine. I was in 4hi D and then 4hi 1, so just curious. I know you've been told before but you have the best Hummer content, keep up the great work!
@@mnyhomie For really steep stuff, I would reccomend switching into 4 Low instead of 4 High. Then use 1st or 2nd depending on what the situation calls for.
Unrelated, but that's a killer tow rig! Is it a 550 or 650?
Yep its a F650 Supercrewzer. They sold about 300 of these for a year. It's designed to be toy hauler to haul your boat, RV, or cars. Basically it was an unfinished chassis and this company in Kentucky made the custom rear bed for it. Its very nice on the interior. It has the same interior that you would find in a Lincoln Navigator of the time period. Leather seats, woodgrain dash, carpet flooring, power windows, and speakers. It has a Caterpillar 3126B I6 Turbocharged engine with an Automatic Allison transmission. These types of trucks are in a lot better condition than other F650s from the 2000s because this is not a commercial vehicle. Its a tow rig that you use like 4-6 times a year when you go on vacation so its in great condition and hasn't been abused. 😁
@@4lowmode Thank you so much for that! It's totally awesome, and if I ever came across one, one day I'd have to buy it! Thank you for the info. Keep up the good work 👍
@@iansampson2515 They are out there! I know they ran for a number of model years. Its a nice truck and it costs way less than a new F450 dually and you don't have to deal with all DEF crap.
@@4lowmode They look wayyyy cooler anyway. And with that gooseneck, it fits perfectly.
@@iansampson2515 Yep. The F650 we have has a 5th wheel attachment on it so we just used a 5th wheel adapter on our 40ft gooseneck trailer and it works perfectly! The setup has worked very well we have been on 7 trips with it so far and it has worked perfectly. The truck has a 60 gallon main tank and a 60 gallon Aux tank so we are able to drive all the way to our destination without stopping. The only thing I have noticed is that the truck does loose some speed climbing up steep hills but so do other semi trucks we see out on those same hills.
Way you dont have front locker
Nope unfortunately we don't.
