“We kept the stock suspension but modified the springs to give the H1 additional height,” said Hagel. “The front and rear bumpers have aluminum accents to bring out the silver in the design. The interior of the original Hummer is plastic and we tore it out and replaced it with aluminum.”

The Sony Mobile electronic system and rear back up cameras were also an addition. Hagel’s Hummer was equipped with Master Craft Seats and H.I.D. Lights from PIAA.

“I also used K&N air filter E-1700 on the Hummer,” he said. “I felt the additional power increase immediately.”

Inside the Las Vegas Convention Center at the SEMA Show, Hagel displayed his modified 2008 Nissan Titan with a 5.6 liter engine in the Rancho Suspension Booth. “We built a flat bed to haul a 2008 Polaris RZR 800,” he said. “Our Titan is also equipped with Toyo Tires and a Defiant Light Bar. We also have a roof rack with PIAA lights.”

The Titan has nine way adjustable Rancho Shocks and retractable steps. “We put in a Sony Mobile Electronic System and Master Craft Seats for comfort and entertainment,” he said. “There is a K&N air intake system, 63-6012 that keeps the dirt out of our engine and gives us additional power.”
