H3 featured in Off-Road Adventures Magazine!

[CampMaster]

Just got the latest issue of Off-Road Adventures magazine (http://www.oramagazine.com/currentIssue/index.html)

Not only was the H3 on the cover! It's the first featured article!

It's in the April 2006 issue (also has part 4 of the Alaska XXXpedition) I don't know when their website will be up to speed on issues

though mostly ads - there are some great articles and stories... plus it's free!

I saw it, but I must say, despite it being a positive review, it is the worst article I have read on the H3 or any vehicle for that matter...
For starters, they did not seem to have used an Adventure packaged H3 (you can see the Good Year tires on the pictures) They don't mention the fact that H3s have 4.56 gears among other things.
Interesting that the add for the FJ is right after the article. It almost looked like ORA did not want to piss off one of their clients (Toyota) by pointing out the things that may put the H3 ahead of the FJ.
Ofcourse, they did make a big stink about the engine...

They also mention that the H3 has dual AC controls. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif Not the best researched article ever.

I will have to dig back thru the issues to read what they wrote about the H2... this article pretty much tries to see if the H3 lives up to the H2 standard.

It isn't a really flattering article. I had to read it several times to see if I could tell if they recommend the H3 or not. I am still not sure... from what I gather, they see it more as a commuter car compared to the H2. There is some mention to its ability off-road.

I feel the article was rushed and not fully researched. I need to see how the writer reviewed various Jeeps... as they are the mainstay of the magazine.

Nope not on the web site...

Interesting article on the Staun Internal Beadlocks though... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

They have the March issue on the website... it needs to get updated. You'd think that the website would at least match the magazine release... guess they are literally going with the calander month.

I wasnt impressed by the article.
Not that it matters what I think.
ORA is still just a fancy sales brochure for 4wheelers.
