Wheeler's Versus Posers?

[MyxH3]

I see all this poser/yuppy accessory bull**** on this forum and quite frankly it is really turning my stomach. Did anyone buy an H3 to Actually Offroad 4x4 other than me? Incredible amounts of talk about Bling and gas cap doors that sell for $200.00 and the vanity tags in the door jams (that alone is gay to begin with) I believe in keeping my Truck Clean looking and capable for what ever I intend to do with it. I am not tryng to offend anyone but Jesus, I bought mine to wheel after all they are more capable offroad than they are at the lowrider tuner shows. I have already done more in common area's local to where I live which most of these posers would cring to take their MAll crawling soccer mom looking poser wanna be H3's will ever do. You should try the vehicle offroad they perform great. That said I speak out therefore I am. BTW they are TRUCKS, I hate reading these threads where people are referring to them as cars. I am sure the other 10% of the true offroad folks on the forum will agree.

Look at the Jeep market - it is the same thing. People buy the H3 for highway use, off road use, or both...plain and simple.

Not too much you can do about it. I have seen people buy pick-up trucks that never put a thing in the bed.

I would not lose sleep over it.

[HummBebe]

I think to each his own, but I sure am having fun!!! We have three more trips planned between now and mid October!

[H3wannabe]

I am not into bling but I have never been into off road either. Now that I have that option maybe I will start, who knows. Who cares?

I bought my H3 because I liked the looks, quality, and size. Mainly because after looking at the other trucks in this category, it was the one I wanted.

Does owning an H3 automatically suggest that I am trying to pose as an avid off-roader? I don't think so. It does give me the ability to try off-roading. If I choose to.

[MyxH3]

Believe me I truly believe in "Do whatever every makes you happy" I just felt the need to purge. Like I mentioned I'm an avid four wheeler and really thought the majority of the people who were purchasing the H3 were buying them for their offroad capability rather than it serving as a status symbol. Then again my opinion shouldn't offend anyone unless it describes them.

[HumbleAg]

Kinda funny to read your post. As my son and I were returning from the mall in my new H3, we were passed by a redneck in a lifted 4X4 covered with mud. My son asked about it and I told him that's what people who can't afford cable tv or golf lessons do for fun.

Luckily the guy missed the H3 when he spit his chew out the window, otherwise I would have had to have the valet take it to the carwash while my wife and I were at the wine tasting.

I did notice some of the beer cans bounced out of the back when he hit the curb on a turn, but I didn't see a splash so I'm sure he emptied them first. I think he must have been in a hurry to get home and watch the NASCAR race.

But, as you said, my opinion shouldn't offend anyone unless it describes them.

You'll find that there are a huge majority who purchase the Hummer brand for mostly either name or looks.

For those who wheel, it's a small percentage of the actual total population out there. But those who wheel their Hummers in Arizona really do a lot of different trails - when we don't have Forest Fires or flooding...

[timgco]

While we havev an SUT and an H3 is our houshold (both see the trails) I see HUMMERS every day that will never see wet grass. Driving a HUMMER offroad or not is fun in my opinion. Many of the HUMMER owners that have not off roaded before, may not tknow wherre to go or how to do it. Some are afraid to ding their vehicles or ruin their 30K to 70K rig. I always offer to asking HUMMER owners to join our group to learn and have fun. That's how I started.

Here ye Here ye! I have been now been offended! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif I actually like my gay door jam tags!!

And who's to say that I can't go offroading. This hummer will see more winter, slush, ice, sleet, and salt ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE CITY - that is 100x more abusive on it - than most so called off roading or mudding most of the other so-called "posers" intend on doing.

No offense, but if a vehicle survives a Canadian Winter it is doing more than its job.

[H3OH]

Locking gas cap and fuel door isn't a bad "bling" request at all.

Thanks for being a dick and lumping people into a category that most people here don't fall under.

I'm glad you have an H3. I'm glad you off-road. Just back away from the soap box would ya? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Surferjo]

I bought mine pretty much based on aesthetics.

I don’t do much wheeling (not to much wheeling to do on Long Island anyway) except for a few beach runs.

To be honest the idea of driving through mud or over rocks really doesn’t thrill me, (and I purchased the Adventure package) especially with a $36k vehicle. But hey that’s me, to each his own.

Don’t get me wrong I totally hear what your saying, why buy such an off road capable vehicle if you don’t plan on using it that way, different strokes for different folks I guess.

I think you have to remember this is a general H3 forum. This is the place people are supposed to be able to talk/ask/respond to any and all H3 related topics.

I guess if this were an “Off-Road or Wheeling” forum those posts would be out of place.

[MyxH3]

LOL too funny. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Well it was mentioned and I would have to agree. This is a genereal forum and since there is very few people that plan on actually using their H3's for what they were designed for (Hint: They were tested here in Sedona Az. as well as Moab Ut. not at the mall). Elcova should add an Offroad/Adventure section for the people that wish to discuss such topics. There is so much of our country to see offroad many of which cant be seen from the main hard roads. Like I mentioned in the first post, my rantings shouldnt offend you unless it is describing you.

[Desert Dan]

When I get an H3 I will use it to the max on and off road. The only reason I will be getting one is becauses of it's Off Road features, gearing, locker, skid plates, 33' tires overall size and a 5-speed.


An Off Road/Adventure/Travels section on this forum would be great.

Anyword word from from the guy who was driving up to Alaska/Canada? I think he was on a 2 month road trip...Lucky Guy

I want to see more pictures of them actually being used on 4x4 trips loaded up with roof racks gas cans, highlift jacks etc.
Long range expedition type trips...ALCAN HWY
Moab for a week, Black Rock Desert etc....

[DennisAJC]

There is a very small percentage H1s that find off-road.

There is a very small percentage H2s that find off-road.

Same will probably apply to the H3.

Most will never have the desire to off-road but it should not stop them from buying the vehicle they love. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Posing in an H3 or H2 is not as pathetic as a guy in a business suit with a 100k+ H1 that has never seen gravel. H1 was my first choice but seeing how rediculous my neighbor looked with his Starbucks and tie totally turned me off. That would be embarassing. So bloody happy I bought the H2.

[goose]

I have this divers watch that i kinda wear everyday (Breitling Seawolf 3000 meters)

First let me say that i'm not a diver (can't even swim!)

A few months ago somebody asked me why do i wear a diver's watch


I just politely reminded him that it also works above the sea level

[KenP]

There sure is a bunch of talk about bling on this side of the forum. Hell, I've got chrome crap on my truck, too. Oh well, atleast the truck sees the dirt. That's why I've got scrapes and bruises on my chrome rims, scratches on the polished stainless brushguard and some very interesting dents on the skid plate other other areas under the truck. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Sheez, blingtard trucks like dirt and mud, too. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I can hardly wait to get my H3. I'm gonna take it out back and climb our steep 3 degree uphill grade to the back of our property. Wow, the excitement of it all!!! I've even purchased a set of gold plated tongs to pull the field mice and moles from the tire treads when I'm finished. Lol

[MyxH3]

There you go thats what im talking about I love MxHondas pics. I too have had to replace my rear license plate. Least this hasnt been a boring thread http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[tacocat]

I often wonder why Hummers tend to get blinged out more often than other SUV/Trucks. Is it the looks, or is it the name?

I think a Caddy or Chevy full-size with chorme and big wheels looks better.

IMO, the H3 is particularly well designed for off-road use. I wish more of them would be used off-road. 4-wheeling on a trail is something everyone should try once.

[H3OwnerDiz]

37yr old female here and I've never been 4wheeling, but my husband and I do a lot of primitive tent camping in state forests, so we're out on dirt roads pretty often. I purchased this H3 not only cause I always loved Hummers but I felt that this one was more practical than the H2 for everyday use, yet still perfect for our frequent backwoods camping/fishing trips.

Now though, I am very interested in getting some off-road training (I don't want to make a stupid mistake my first time out) and getting this baby out there where it was meant to be.
The pics in my photo album are just some we took while camping and driving through the forest, it's only a month old, had it on the dirt last week. I can't wait until I can add some pics of a real off-road adventure!
Well, that's my 2 cents on this topic. Hummer has brought the world of off-roading to me and I'm looking forward to what's next.

[HummerNewbie]

I am getting the H3 because I love the looks and it's capabilities. I have never been into off roading but am looking forward to trying it out. As Dennis mentioned, most H1s and H2s don't go off road but to each their own. Your comment didn't offend me but when I first read it I thought you were a troll. Just came across like so many troll posts. I am glad you enjoy the H3 and are using it to its full potential. I hope more H3 owners do the same but they can do whatever they want with their vehicles. I personally am not into the bling thing either but not sure how a chrome fuel door is going to change the vehicles off road capabilities. Anyway, to each their own and post so pics of your H3 wheeling as we would love to see more of them out there.

[bparker]

OMG LAWL that is the funniest **** I have read in a while!

Now quit following me to the mall! /goesandhides It wasnt my truck! I was my maw's truck! /flipoff

[bender]

i bought my H3 for cargo space and to deal with snow...its a lot easier to load skis or camping gear (and people) in an SUV as opposed to a tiny sport coupe.

i've gone off-road with my old jeep when i was younger and when i feel like doing it with the H3 then i will. until then, it serves its intended purpose well.

...and if this matter upsets you this much then you need professional help!!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
