Can't believe I got an h3 (...and quick question) [Archive]

Well, I can't believe I gave in and got my fiance an H3. I just sold my military humvee (with a plate that read 'WUTZA H2') and I was VERY MUCH against the H3 initially. To my surprise I was actually quite impressed. GM really did a nice job, especially for this price range. The agility is awesome and the flexability is impressive. The ONLY thing that I don't like is that puny 3.5L.....why do it?? I have no idea! It definitely won't save much on gas. I would have much rather seen a V6 (like the ones you see in Nissan Xterras). About 40-50 more horses and 60-75 lb-ft of torque. Anyway, now to my question;

Does anyone know how to pull out the stock CD player? Also, I want to get rid of the double-DIN and run a single-DIN flip-out monitor. Anyone know of a company making these adapter plates?

Any help is appreciated.

We've always said that all along.

"Why buy an H1 when you can have an H2 or H3 that does the exact same thing?"

Whenever I see an H1 I always laugh and think how sorry I feel for the poor sap that spent all that money and they still have a hard time following the H2. They look ridiculous driving around downtown parked in front of the Starbucks all spotless. They're also a nightmare to maintain and breakdown too often.

Smart move in getting an H3.

H1 = Blinged H2

Dennis,
Even as an h3 owner I would have to say that reading your post made me cringe. You make some of the most ridiculous points that I have read on this site. Just a completely worthless post. Your post makes some of Dirty's posts sound insightful and intelligent.

Congrats on the H3 purchase.

I’ve been incredibly happy with my H3. Yes… I to would like to see a few more horses under the hood but it still does a nice job.

I replaced my head unit with an after market single DIN unit and used the Metra 99-3304 install kit. I have some detailed pictures/instructions of my install at http://www.rausite.com/hummerh3.htm.

Just a stab at some of the stupid comments I hear from H1 owners. Like having licence plates like "WUTZAH2" or "It's a Tahoe".

But like an Blinged H2, I see more spottless H1's in front of StarBucks driven my stickmen in suits.

Say what, biznitch? Dennis made his reply in response to the noob's 1st post in which he just had to take a swipe at H2s by telling us about his *******-ish plate. How would you have felt if he'd made some turdish comment about the H3s? Or would you have even had the nads to speak up and let connor know how you felt? Until you've protected the Hummer name as fiercely as some of us have feel free to shut yer yap.

H1s are more expensive to maintain and they do tend to breakdown more than H2s. I don’t have any hard facts but from talking to people and wheeling with H1s myself here is some truth there. GMPartsGuy is right it is about the maintenance; however I think he does more maintenance on his H1 than I do on my H2 and we run the same trails for the most part.

H2s and H1s keeping up with each other. The H1 has slightly better specs., but in my experience there is very few places you can get an H1 where you can’t get an H2.

It took the H1 boys 16 hours to run Poison/Golden/Gold Bar with 12 trucks and a professional guide and it took 9 hours to get 9 H2s trough the same trials with no guide (and no one in the group with prior experience on those trails). This anomaly was caused by mechanical failure from what I understand, but maybe we just drive faster http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Okay, I'll give you that (t/case and 2 axleshafts)

RMST, I read some of your posts and as other have commented you do whine like a little girl a lot.

Wow, I didn't mean to start a huge argument! Thanks for answering my radio question everyone http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

...Now for my two cents. The "H1" that I owned was actually an m998 military humvee, and was the exact opposite of "blinged" And perhaps most importantly, I got it for only 22k.

Now, the fact alone that there are people here claiming that H2s and H3s "do all the same stuff" as an H1 is enough to tell me that you guys are not serious about offroading. Don't get me wrong H2s and H3s are "nice SUVs"...but I have absolutely embarrassed H2s on the sand, mud, and rocks....and my rig was almost 20 years old and less than half the price! (so there goes your price argument) I've taken my humvee up to the windshield in water, and the diesel just shook it off.

I am an avid offroad enthusiast which is why I was so hesitant to buy an H3. The "blinged up" H1 has a Duramax diesel and an Allison tranny....that right there is worth the price of admission. Nothing else can compare...period. I'd rather have 1 Alpha than 3 H2s any day of the week.

It's kinda like bigger boat itis. I found myself measuring the garage to see if an H2 would fit in, but I do think it would have amuch harder time squeezing through the trails I do. When I was in the Yukon I met a doctor and his vehicle, was an H1. In his words, "I need something that will get through when 99% of the others won't." I posted his pic next to his H1 on my trip log in September.
