You talking to me ?
You can go and visit the Black Rhino website and see all the wheels they offer.
As I said above I am running a 17x9.5 with the stock Hummer H1 offset on a 40x13.5x17 Cooper Discover STT Pro tire
Which now seems to be the setup for these trucks..
Sweet ! I'm doing the same (minus the clear) to my rig once I get it back from the shop.
With your new wheels its almost like a preview of how my trucks going to look, and I like !
I stopped by the shop working on my Humvee today and asked how the "magical" TV bracket worked out and I quote:
"Your truck had one on it already, we just used what was there.."
So, some of these trucks have this said to be extinct bracket ?
I guess I now have one for sale ?
The kit was around $3500 I believe (give or take) from Mike over at Dirty Boyz Off Road.
I also splurged and got a 4 speed shifter from him as well. Then around 8-10 hours of labor at my buddies shop to get
it installed. Still have some road testing to do but from what they say it was literally...

700r4 and stock transfer case bolted together and went into truck today with zero issues.
TV cable installed , trans filled, lines to cooler ran, etc. From what the shop said doing the work the entire install was around 9-10 hours...
Few more things need to be wired on the truck and...
The shop that is working on my truck is doing the trans swap. They specialize in complete road racing spec builds of Ferrari's and lambos so a trans swap in
A Humvee isn't a huge deal for them. Exactly why I brought my truck to them in the first place. No matter what I want done or any crazy...
Got the back of the truck lit up like Christmas !
Did some LED marker lights in the civilian H1 location, LED third brake light, LED stock replacement tail lights, and a LED license plate light.
Disregard the amber lights on both sides, as those were a wiring issue at the time of this pic...
The C pillar had to have around 1" taken out of it and re-welded and the B pilar had to be "adjusted" so to speak to make work.
Not a ton of work but more then just plopping it on and having it come out right.
I sourced a hardtop from a slantback (with turret hole) and my buddies at BTR here in Chicago made it work.
Lots of welding / fitting / swearing / modifing, but its now a permanent part of my M998.
Both the B and C pillars had to be modified to make the top fit as it should. All is now seam...
After doing some looking into it I just bit the bullet and bought a new 4-Speed shifter from Mike over at Dirty Boyz Off Road (same place I got the trans kit from).
Made no sense to go this far into the project and skimp out on something so small (and important) as the correct shifter.
