Hey Guys that is my truck. First it is not a kit. I had to do some major work to get that H-2 front end to fit. it was 8 inches to wide so we had to section the grill in 5 places then bend it to fit the contour of the hood and then mold a GMC grill to the top of the H-2 grill where it hooks on to the core support so we could mount it to the truck. That was just the grill. then we had to change the bumper, and mold over where the corner markers were. It took 7 months to get it all done. Some of you don't like it.... well that is ok, I dont like some other stuff I see out there too. To each his own. I was tired of seeing all of the bolt on escalades on the chevy/GMC's. This is different and I will sell the front end to a company that wants to make a mold for mass production. Any takers ??? Next is a 300 front end on a Dakota.

Hey, Body drop probably ain't gonna happen. If you look at my profile and see all the glass in the bed to hold all the system in there I won't have the room left after I would body drop it.

Again,really nice werk man,I would never have the patience to pull that off,Ive thought of it with the full front clip,but I like your grill/bumper idea much better...It would be totally defeating the purpose to sell the clip for mass production tho wouldnt it??you wouldnt have such an original front end anymore,but if it ever happened ,Id be the first one in line!Is the chrome plated or is it chrome paint like ALSA sells?It'd be the perfect clip for my 4x4,although Id like to see it semigloss black rather than chrome with no hummer lettering,but thats just me

Hey Adam, The grille is fibrerglass and it was chrome plated in colorado. Loot at www.XXXplating.com ... The H-3 has no lettering in the grill maybe you can modify one of those grills to fit your 4X4. Skip
