SEMA debut for the Hummer H3 Alpha Four Wheeler Project Trailhugger
By Andrew C., 30 Aug, 2010. 0 Comments
Joining with Hummer, Four Wheeler Magazine designed and created an H3 Alpha with an all-business look and improved off-road potential, while maintaining fuel economy and driver comfort.
‚ÄúTrailhugger‚Äù as the project is intimately called, began with a ‚Äúde-glossing‚Äù of the H3. That meant painting over the chrome and bright trim flat black and revising the factory‚ shiny Victory Red clear coat finish with an improved PPG flattening agent mixed with clear to provide it with a satin-like appearance. Also added by the editors are Hummer‚ brush guard, roof lighting and rocker protection parts.
Then, Four Wheeler exchanged a set of nitrogen-charged, 2-inch diameter Rod Hall Racing associated reservoir-type high performance shocks and Light Racing JounceShocks. A set of GT Inc. Simulock 16-inch wheels were also included which were painted flat black to blend with the overall exterior color scheme. The Hummer tires were set on the H3 with an array of BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 LT285/75R16 tires. The height of the vehicle remained as in the original since the editors wanted to explore the vehicles capabilities at the level of the stock ride height.
