Absolutely Amazing!!
I've got an 09' H3 and am wanting to do similar work to the suspension on mine. Sorry if I missed who did the suspension work, it was a lot of reading, but could you tell me which shop did the work? I'd like to contact them about my truck. Thanks and keep the pics coming!!

Thanks Alex. Emil has always been an outstanding guy. It's amazing how many hours we would be on the phone exchanging ideas back in the days. Just recently I got some of those military bags you have with quite a bit of recovery gear. Including a Pull-Pal. Later on in the build you'll see pics of all the gear secured in the trunk. Thanks again.

Whilst overseas, I organized long before I returned, to get with East Coast Gear Supply to help out with some fabrication. I also organized with Lee from TLC Transmission to go over some mechanical stuff. Even though he's a tranny expert, he's a great overall mechanic.
The day after I got back in the US, the H3 went into East Coast Gear Supply in Raleigh NC.
They were going to make some custom UCP as well as solve some drive line issues. They were also going to help to center both axles in the wheel wells.
Here is the beginning of the front skid plate. It was complicated since it had to clear the control arms.
They also modified a crossmember to clear the front drive shaft that was hitting it. They also added some limiting straps to stop some binding in the pitman heim as well as the drive shaft u-joints. Here we discovered that ORE had ordered the drive shafts way too short!!!

Two days later, keeping to a tight time schedule so I could go wheeling that weekend, they had finished all their work.
Front skid plate.
Rear skid plate that protects the transfer case. They do amazing work. Just enough to protect everything, but not too much to cause heat issues or accumulate mud. Just right!

East Coast Gear Supply in Raleigh built the tcase skid? I like that. Have been looking for something for my Colorado. May give them a call. How long did they take?

Great minds think alike....
Obviously you have good taste. Since buying the H3 and the Buell, I'm quite careful what I purchase because I don't want to see them go out of business
Thanks for the info.

They do amazing work and have tons of experience. They are also very busy so be prepared to wait to get in line for an appointment. I waited a few months to get stuff done but it was well worth it. They also fixed a ton of driveline and suspension issues. Great guys.
