How To Remove The Front Bumper On A Hummer H3

Hey what’s going on guys! In this video I will be showing you how you can remove the front bumper on your Hummer H3. This works with all models years from 2006-2010 H3s including the H3 Alpha and H3T.

[@dragondesign]

From what I've read in the forums on early model 2006s the Torx bolt for the d-ring bracket is mounted from the back. This appears to be the case with mine since I can't see it from the front. Hoping that I can get to it from the back side while under there disconnecting things, or if it doesn't need to come out like Schwarttzy noted.

[@4lowmode]

I did just some searching online to see and it does look like you are right. I have taken these tow hook brackets so many times before on multiple H3s, but I didn't know the early models didn't have them. Dang there is so many little differences just between models years that is impossible to make a tutorial without having some small difference here or there. If you do go to take your bumper off can you let me know if you had to do anything else? Thanks! I'll pin your comment to let others know.

[@Schwarttzy]

Wow, just looked at my 08 and the Trox are not there like my 06

[@dragondesign]

@@4lowmode Ironically I just want to take my grille off to paint it, which means the bush guard comes off. The information is a bit of a chicken and egg thing, if I can't remove the bush guard and grille without the bumper and can't remove the bumper without removing the grille. When I get around to it I'll be sure to report back

[@4lowmode]

@@Schwarttzy Wait so you mean your Alpha has the bolts in the same place that I talk about in the video? Sorry I was confused lol. I also have a 2008 Alpha and my bolts in the same place I talk about in the video.

[@4lowmode]

@@dragondesign Thanks! Wait so, you just want to take the grille guard off? If that is the case, the only thing you need to remove is the D rings and D ring brackets.

[@CAP21]

I'm sitting there watching the bumper animation and thinking "This is great". Then you actually show taking off the bumper and all the little things to watch out for, and I'm thinking "This is awesome". Finally, you show the gotchas on re-installing it and thinking "Life can't get any better" Your videos are second to none and you've definitely found your calling in life! I don't need to take my bumper off but i'm going to, just because I know how to now. 😎

[@4lowmode]

Thanks I appreciate the kind words! I just hate tutorials we there like "Ya start by doing this" then the camera cuts and they are onto the next part and they skipped a bunch of steps and then they "yeah, just make sure ya do this", and then they finish it by saying "its not that hard, took me like 5 minutes" and when you try it, it takes 4 hours and you're trying to figure out how to do the things they didn't record.

[@CAP21]

@@4lowmode LOL. So true. 😂

[@duanetucker]

We need more Hummer videos!! You might be one of the last people around that is keeping H3 info alive! I also look to your videos for where to buy my stuff! It is getting harder and harder to find vendors that support the H3 line. Your videos are a huge source of information.

I just wanted to take my "D" rings off to paint them, and paint just the part that they are attached to on the steel bumper, but I found out yesterday that my Torx screws are on the inside, and I don't want to take the grill and everything else apart like in your video, so I will just have to tape everything off to paint everything! Just wanted to say your video's are awesome, so keep up the good work, a lot of us Hummer H3 owners really appreciate your hard work! 10 thumbs up!

Oh my apologies! This channel is by no means dead. The 4in foglight video is actually done but I have been waiting for lased designs to come back in stock with them so new people interested in the adapters can actually buy them.

[@TomCastello1]

Hey 4 Low Mode! Awesome videos dude really informative and the chapter selections is freakin awesome and makes skimming through the video super easy to find what you're looking for. I used your video to install the 7" LED Headlights and worked perfectly. I have a question about the LED fog lights you have here though which I also purchased but haven't installed yet... Did you need that crazy harness with the relay's like we did for the headlights or any harness for that matter? Just curious before I tear everything down and find out I'm in need of more parts. Keep up the great work brother!

[@4lowmode]

Hey man! No harnesses needed! Plug and play. You do however need to plug them in the opposite way they are intended to go. Do you have the foglight adapters already? If so, and you are ready to do the install, I can send you a link to the my instructional video on how to install the 4" foglights which I have on google drive, but not KZbin yet. The video is all done but has not been uploaded to KZbin for a few reasons. I haven't published it yet because Lased Designs is temporarily out of stock of products because he needs to catch up with orders. Also, I have asked him like 5 times if he could please watch the video before hand that I uploaded to see if he has any critiques or things to add to the instructional aspect of the video, since he doesn't provide any instructions with the product and I am basically making the default set of instructions.

[@TomCastello1]

@@4lowmode yeah a link to that video would be great, I did already purchase the adapters months ago so I'm good on that front. I purchased the exact fog lights that you had recommended, at least I think you recommended these and one of your videos I can't remember it's been a while. I still can't believe how big of an upgrade those headlights were. Do you need my email or a way of contacting me? I'm not super versatile in the ways of KZbin for all I know my information may already be public lol.

Good question lol. I have 3 and my Dad has one as well. The black one in the video is a Black 2006 Hummer H3 Luxury. I also have a Grey 2008 Alpha Adventure Luxury. In addition, I do have Boulder Gray 2006 H3 that I got for like $2k with a bad engine that I still need to fix. My dad's H3 is a Black 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha Adventure Luxury. I am not really a collector that is trying to keep them in perfect condition or anything. The Alpha is more of a offroad weekend trail vehicle and the 2006 H3 is more for daily stuff. Its really nice to have both the i5 and Alpha so when I make these videos I know the differences between them and take note of that in the videos.

[@thexzibition1.0]

off topic, but does the h3 tempature gauge sit in 1/2 and ranges to the 3/4 mark or bit more when having the A/C on? and is it normal while having the A/C on for the fan clutch to engage more often and make the fan sound louder at times?

[@4lowmode]

Normally it shouldn't. But with older H3s with more miles, a lot of times the temperature does creep up. I had this problem on my 2008 Alpha V8 for years where the average temperature with no A/C was 207F degrees.. Just recently I replaced the water pump on it and it actually fixed it! Went from 207F to 198F. So for me, this was the problem. Before coming to this solution, I installed a new thermostat, radiator, coolant flush, and added Ford Gold Coolant. On top of this, I also have an electric fan from PCM of NC and the Runcool Hoodlouvers. None of this seemed to help except after replacing the water pump. Now note this is my specific situation and I can't say it will work for everyone.
