hello there

[FormerJeeper]

Hi,

I just bought an H3 with the Adventure Package and love the thing http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Given that I've bought nothing but Jeeps for the past 8 years, built up lots of them and driven over places like The Rubicon several times, this is either testament to how good I believe the H3 to be (or I'm losing my mind completely http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif ).

Anyway, I'll be modifying mine pretty soon and getting it into the rough stuff to see what it's made of.

One comment regarding the "underpowered" engine.

Try taking a Jeep TJ Wrangler (Rubicon, Unlimited), lifting it, adding 35" or 37" tires, adding winch, bumpers, armour etc and see how fast and fuel efficient you think that is?

It drives fine to me and doesn't appear to be any slower than the Jeep LJ Unlimited I traded in for it.

Congratulations on coming to your sense http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif and welcome to the forum. Post some pics when you get some. Would also love to see a review once you get a change to play in the dirt. Like to hear your thoughts as a long time Jeep owner.

Welcome man, I too used to be a Jeep diehard (concerning offroading) and have been watching the H3 for sometime now.

I sold my old tricked out ZJ in order to get my new H3 and have never looked back. I am really impressed with this H3 in stock form and the dam thing is just so pretty at the same time which is odd as in the Jeep world you tend to think the uglier the better. LOL

Go have fun in it and you will be surprised to see how well the H3 does in stock form. The IFS in the front does "OK" but the rear articulates MUCH better than I had expected. In fact, I dont think my long arms really had that much more reach than the H3 (in the rear).

I went from this
