I saw a new JK 4 door at Paragon today. Too bad it just sat in the parking lot and didn't come out with us... :(

2007 4dr Rubi and 2007 H3 comparison

Re: JK vs. H3

Re: JK vs. H3
 

and the point is...

Re: JK vs. H3
 

The thread title is JK vs. H3. ;)

Re: JK vs. H3
 

the point is the JK beats the H3, hands down, if you are looking at only stats.

The JK smokes the H3 offroad in Rubi form and likely beats the H2 as well. Lockers front/rear. SFA. Front anti-sway push-button disconnect, lighter, better angles, HUGE aftermarket support, etc, all puts the JK in position as the better wheeling machine.

Hummer needs to add "extra" additions that beef up the current lineup that mimicks the Rubi idea. The forever discussed Alpha versions that SHOULD be more tailored to the trail and not the street.

Re: JK vs. H3
 

I sure hope that they do :iagree:

I could really care less about the whole mine is better than your but do think it is funny when the comparison stats used are a Rubi versus a Base H3 :twak: ;)

If I was only buying based on what would be the all around best off road vehicle, maybe I wouldn't have gone with the H3 but considering I don't spend even 10% of my seat time off road, the H3 was the easy choice.

Re: JK vs. H3
 

Yeah, been thinking about that:giggling:

Re: JK vs. H3
 

Seems like it's missing a few items...
Stabilitrac
Antilock breaks (though I could have missed this somewhere)
Power locks,windows,ect. On the jeep it's an option
Sirious radio is an option on the jeep
The hard top is an option on the jeep.

In other words I'm not impressed with the Rubicon. The comparison left a few things out to make the jeep look better.

Re: JK vs. H3
 

I can't even believe we are having this debate! Who in their right mind would choose a Jeep (Of which the world is already overpopulated with) over a Hummer H3? Both vehicles will get you there on or off the road, but the H3 gets more attention, is more comfortable, and looks cooler than a tired old Jeep. Those of you who say buy the Jeep shouldn't even be on this forum!

Speaking of the highly coveted "4-Wheel & Off-Road's 2007 4x4 of the Year" award that 'buy_a_legend' speaks of...

Guess what won the same award in 2003..............a Lexus.

June 1965 to June 1969

AND

One of many things I learned in the U. S. Military was

DON'T STICK YOUR NOSE WHERE IT DON'T BELONG...

I believe that was taught in all the services, ARMY, NAVY, MARINE CORP, COAST GUARD & AIR FORCE...

SO

The question is why are you posting here?

Re: JK vs. H3
 

:iagree: X :perfect10s:

Re: JK vs. H3
 

Sucks but they all do that. When I was checking out the FJ Cruiser, all their comparisons were between fully optioned FJs and base H3s (no options). When I brought this up, the salesguy closed the chart and said I obviously knew more than the chart and was I really interested in the FJ or not? I just thanked him for his time and left. lol


x2 - only the JK Rubi Ultd beats the H3 if my book ... and only offroad. The H3 wins in comfort, interior styling, sound system, road noise, etc.

Re: JK vs. H3
 

I expected to see little Icon remarks by children,..just what I got.
Now, you say owned, wrong little boy.

RubHer Yellow Ducky, because you are Vietnam Vet I'll respect you this time and answer. I answered the young man's question at the beginning?, buy the real deal not a counterfeit, didn't want him to make the mistake not buy the original.

Now, why am I in here,>> well Vet, what I've been though, I go where I want, I sit where I want, I look where I want, I say what I want, I pretty well do anything I please.
Now that I answered your question this time, The only people I'll give an answer to is a Vietnam Vet with more than 2 or mores Purple's. See, I even set the pecking order that I'll give an answer to.

Re: JK vs. H3
 

I SALUTE you and the PURPLES...

I was lucky and managed to stay out of someones SITES, and little pieces of metal and sharp pieces of bamboo...

:beerchug: RYD

Re: JK vs. H3
 

2 or more Purples without any other accomodations to go along with them. Just means you are an easy target and a sick bay commando.

The way you walked in here spouting you mouth off its easy to see how you earned your purples, probably by walking aimlessly right into the line fire.
Go hang with John Kerry I sure he digs you Jeep guy's and you guys can show each other your Purples.

Re: JK vs. H3
 

What we all think about a jeep person here is correct, doesn't belong!!!!!

BUT

IF YOUR NOT A U. S. MILITARY VETERAN, any service, any time, any location, with a HONORABLE DISCHARGE

watch your tongue ! That person (man or woman) Put their life on the line for YOU and they deserve respect...

Re: JK vs. H3
 

Sure is a lot of Testerone on here today :) I was sitting on the fence as well as the original poster. I love the looks of the H3, I was all set to buy an H3 and my wife wanted to wait and check out the JK unlimited. Long story short, we ended up with a JK unlimited Rubi b/c of the removable tops. That doesn't change the fact that a H3 still turns my head and I love the styling/looks of the hummer lineup. I like the JK as well. I don't think it's so much about this being better than that, they all have their pros/cons, so much as your personal preference. I still want an H3. I think if they ever get around to releasing an Alpha LWB H3 pickup truck that could haul my freaking boat around, I would be right there and replacing the Chevy Tahoe that currently does so well at the grocery getting and boat hauling.
That said, the JK is fun to drive, but it suffers from the same problem as the H3, not enough ooommpphhh in the engine dept in my opinion. It does ok, but still it feels sluggish on the hwy. This is all pretty much common news. I was kind of suprised w/ my gas mileage so far, I am averaging around 18/19 tank on a mostly highway miles commute of 75miles/day. There are a lot of places where the JK could be improved quality wise and fit/finish wise, and I think that one of the other posters hit the nail on the head, the JK unlimited is totally designed to compete with and steal away some of those H3 sales, same thing with the FJ. Now, the big question is, what will Hummer due to up the ante, the balls in their court so to speak. . .

Re: JK vs. H3
 

You made an A$$ out of yourself,...you young(non-combat)BOOT. I'm gone now(Rubher Yellow Ducky)......

Re: JK vs. H3
 

I have to agree and disagree with you here RYD. I agree that somebody that has served our country and received an honorable discharge deserves respect and appreciation for that. At the same time it doesn't mean that they deserve respect in general. If somebody acts like a jackass then that is how they deserved to be treats. The above post about only answering people with 2 purple hearts is something that only a jackass (or AE) that thinks he is better than others would say :rolleyes:

Re: JK vs. H3
 

I kinda have to agree. It's kinda weird to pull rank on a truck forum or in a debate that has nothing to do with the facts or matter at hand.

But- I am a stay at home mom and so...... gfy's.;):fdance:

Re: JK vs. H3
 

And you deserve a lot of credit and respect for that ...

RYD

Re: JK vs. H3
 

I was halfway kidding but thanks.

So now you will listen to me when I say that the JK is better?:fdance: And I am speaking to every straight white male that hasn't served because you know you are everyone's problem.;)

Sweet.:D

Remember, lots of nose blowing and sh1t wiping going on over here. I am sacrificing my time so that there will't be another trench coat wearing, facial jewelry adorning, welfare riding schmuck running around.....:giggling:

Re: JK vs. H3
 

You came in here bragging about two purples. The NAM w/ the combat V is way more impressive(much respect). Watch who you calling a boot old man or a boot might find its way crammed up your non-Grunt a$$.:crying:

BTW The is a Hummer message board not a VFW hall. I have much respect for veterans being one myself, But the chest thumping I've been there done that got the T-shirt crap is a bit childish or a you would call it boot behavior. You seem very stuck on this part of your life, but what have you done since Nam??? We can talk trucks,Jeeps and Hummers all day, but please don't pull the rank sh*t especially only as a Sergeant. That is all

Re: JK vs. H3
 

Guys! how can you compare a jeep with a Hummer!!! it's like if you say you prefer a movie with John Wayne vs Schwarzy!!! Different generation, different style!

And to me, it looks like when a guy come to explain he has a bigger ... whatever than you, he is not so confident about it!

Re: JK vs. H3
 

OOH-RAH!

Respect begets respect. Show little and get little regardless of and most especially if you have "done something". Marine or not.

Besides, since when does your X model JK come close to the H3. Is it even 4wd or did you get the 2wd model. With the X or Sahara, you might as well have the IFS that the H3 has since you'll be snapping that weak D30 all the time. That IS IF you got the 4wd.
