Winch Mount for H3 Hummer
Frequently Asked Questions
What are all the winches that fit?
I have no way of answering this question, I don’t have the ability to test every winch out there. I currently have the Warn M-8000s Winch mounted to my H3 Hummer. The width of the Warn M-8000s is 21.04″, the height is 7.6″, and the depth is 6.3″. The depth will not fit anything 1″ deeper, and the height is maxed out. The width could easily be another 5-10″ longer. However, I recommend matching those original dimensions, most quality winches will. Finally, the winch controller needs to have the ability to be remotely mounted.
Cutting or Modifications to the H3 Hummer require?
Absolutely no permanent changes are required, for the H3 Hummer Hidden Winch Mount.
Do I need Synthetic Line?
Yes, you need to use the synthetic line. The winch mount has been designed with the intended use of an Aluminum Hawse Fairlead, I recommend the Smittybilt 2809 Universal Aluminum Hawse Fairlead because of the inexpensive price.
How long is the installation time?
With a competent mechanic, 3-4 hours is plenty of time.
Are the Winch Mounts in Stock?
Yes, all parts are stocked at the warehouse ready to ship in one business day.
Installation
Just before Christmas of 2015, I invited a customer that had purchased the H3 Hummer Hidden Winch Mount over to my house. They brought their Hidden Winch Mount, a Warn VR-8000 Synthetic Winch, and I supplied the tools and knowledge. The install only took 5 hours, with two lengthy trips to town for 4 Gauge Wire for remotely mounting the solenoid, and for a T-25 Torx bit so that we could clock the winches clutch 90° clockwise. Clocking the clutch is necessary to provide access to the winch’s clutch control.
We began by remove 2 bolt from the fender on both sides.
Just above those two bolts on each side are plastic clips that needs to be removed too.
Next we remove the the shackles.
The last four bolt holding the bumper on. The Torx bit in the center doesn’t need to be removed.
To remove the bumper lift up and then slide it forward.
This modification to the bumper support is not necessary, but the owner decided to do it. Personally, I recommend it.
Here you see the modified bumper support.
Reattaching the modified support to the bumper.
In this photo I have carefully bent back the A/C line a bit to provide remove for the winch.
We got excited, but the next step is installing the new radiator support that provides the additional clearance need for the winch. The bottom portion now bolt on with the two small bolts that are included.
Tightening down the 4 huge bolt holding the winch to the frame.
We’ve relocated the winch to just behind the battery and made new longer 4 guage wires to do so.
Securing the ground to the winch before bolting the winch down..
Attaching the final 3 wires to the winch, it’s ready to be used.
Once the winch and wires are ran, put the bumper back on and mark where the Hawse Fairlead lays to cut the plastic insert. We’ve already done that and are now removing the insert.
Having marked the cuts necessary with a marker, we took the bumper back off and cut the plastic for the Hawse Fairlead. In the photo you can see us tightening the final bolt before completion.
That’s everything to bolting an H3 Hummer Hidden Winch Mount.

A classy, yet simple solution to mounting a backup camera on an H3 Hummer. With this mount, the camera hides in plain sight. Protected from the elements and also damage. All the while offering up the perfect view when backing up. It also removes the guesswork while squeezing into a small parking spot. Helps with backup to a tow hitch on the first try, instead of leaving everyone with the illusion that it's our first time behind the steering wheel. With the camera mount, it's one less nuisance to deal with every time the H3 is driven. Making life... just a little bit easier.
The OnStar Microphone Adapter makes connecting the GM factory microphone to an aftermarket radio easy. Not just for the H3 Hummer, the OnStar Microphone Adapter works plenty other GM vehicles. This adapter probably works if the vehicle has a similar looking microphone. Otherwise, don't worry because the OnStar Adapter can be returned to me if it doesn't work. To connect the adapter to the microphone, just disconnect it from the wiring harness. Plug in the OnStar Microphone Adapter to the microphone and then run 3.5mm male-to-male headphone jack to the back of the radio.

The H3 Quick n’ Simple Auxiliary Audio Input is a plug and play 3.5mm audio input wiring harness for the H3 Hummer factory radio. This wiring harness only minutes to install, works flawlessly, and is easy to use. Once installed, just plug a standard 3.5mm headphone jack in the wiring harness and the other end into your phone. Press the button labeled "Band" on the factory radio until you see "XM". Do not worry, an XM-Sirus satellite subscription isn't necessary for the Quick n' Simple Auxiliary Input. When done listening to the music on the phone, just unplug the 3.5mm headphone jack and XM-Sirus satellite will work normally again.
Slide over rocks and through the mud without getting stuck, with 1/4 inch thick skid plates extending the H3 Hummer Under Body Protection 4' x 2', completely protecting the transmission and transfer case from damage.

Fix that dark spot on the H3 & H3T Dashboard at night with the HVAC Instrument Panel Light Bulbs, sold as a pack of 5. The HVAC Instrument Panel Light Bulbs are direct replacements for the burnt out HVAC light bulbs on GM HVAC Dashboards, 4x4 Controls, and also the Door Lock / Window Controls. These light bulbs are only held on to the PCB board by a quarter turn which makes these light bulbs extremely quick and easy to replace. Be sure to contact me for any issues with replacing the light bulbs in your H3 HUMMER.
The Spartan Chin is the best solution for mounting all versions of the GoPro Hero cameras to a G3 Cookie Helmet. The mount is easy to install, easy to remove. It utilizes a packing tool for the means of cutaway-way the camera in the advent of an entanglement. Gain the ability to use the Cookie for skydiving, and then later that night inside the indoor skydiving tunnel. Adjust the camera for RW one jump, and then adjust it again on the next jump for freefly. Stop smashing the camera into the ceiling of the airplane. Having the extra headroom is super important for us taller skydivers. Never ask again, "Is my GoPro on" because the screen is actually visible while wearing the helmet.

Lift the rear suspension 1 1/4 inches with these shackles for the H3 Hummer. Extended 2 inches longer than the factory, these shackles help out with maintaining the forward rake after leveling the front-end for better gas mileage and gaining those extra few inches for off-road. These shackles add extra confidence in tight turns because of the strength that these 1/4 inch thick steel and 1/8 inch braced shackles give you over the factory stamped shackles.
The H3 Hummer High Clearance Leaf Spring Mounts completely replace the entire rear axle leaf spring bolt plate. Designed to be used with 2" longer shackles but not required, these mounts eliminate all the issues with the factory leaf spring mount. An increased ground clearance protects from ripped up leaf spring mounts, stops broken U-Bolts, bend shock mounts, and allows for the factory spec shock ride height with the optional longer shackles. The Leaf Spring Mounts are laser cut from 1/4 inch steel and bent with relief cuts out of one solid piece of metal, making it a part that's bolted on and forgotten about.
