This thread should be renamed "The return of ZT and MAC".

I hope school doesn't start before the pictures of the girlfriend with the Ferrari get posted again.

Can't we all just get along. We get enough crap from non hummer oweners. do we really need to give it to each other. All three trucks are great.

Re: Why H3?
 

so you seriously think the H3 is no way comparable to a h2 offroad? paaaaaaalease,

Re: Why H3?
 

Damn... There are some angry folks on this forum, funny, but angry. Tex, you asked a question then pissed all over everyone with your tone, What did you expect?? Some of us live where they don't build houses with garages that will fit the H2, some hate the mpg of the H2, some just don't need that much space. We got ours for a downsize with real 4WD capability and something not everyone has-read explorer, jeep, etc. The 50K loaded and tricked Exp'd just wasn't needed anymore. And as far as power, I already have 325WHP turbo vert' that does that trick. And if I really want more in the H3, I'll drive it up to Denver and have the 375HP supercharger kit installed. But really all the H3 needs in the power dept are listed in my sig.

Re: Why H3?
 

Tex, I agree with MountainBlue's second sentence there.

As for the H3 ...

I thought about saying something harsh about the size and drivability of the H1, or what I consider the somewhat-ungainly aesthetics of the H2. But it comes right down to this:

In terms of on- and off-road usability, the Hummer H3 is the spitting image of Jeep's old XJ Cherokee, except it comes with amenities the folks at AMC/Renault/Chrysler/Daimler-Benz never thought to put on the bottom end of their model range plus a lift kit and better tires. The old XJ vehicles (the Cherokee, Wagoneer and Comanche) were excellent off-road vehicles with a just little basic work --- lift kit, tires and so forth. As I said, the H3 comes with that stuff when you pick it up at the stealership.

Re: Why H3?
 

You thought about it, or just did?

Re: Why H3?
 

:p

Suffice it to say that I consider the H3 to be the best combination of looks and usability among real SUVs. :D

Re: Why H3?
 

It's waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy more than a Cheap Cherokee. To lift a Cherokee to take 33" or 35s as some are doing, tires, makes it into a tippy rollover prone nightmare sidehilling. No way, no how can you drive a Cherokee that's got 35s on it at anywhere near the sidehill angle. No way that it'd handle even remotely as well on the twisties either. You'd have to mutilate the body of a Cherokee to get the low stance, the clearance, AND the fitment of the parts an H3 has. A Cherokee is a cheap bucket of jangly bits compared to the H3. They're ok off-road, but just that. How 'bout that really neato 4:1 tcase in the H3? Call up Advance Adapters, do the other work required to fit it, and check out the price for THAT! :D Last time I checked, puttin' in 4.56 gears front and rear wasn't cheap either. Oh yeah, an e-locker in the rear would be just a little sumpn-sumpn that never made it into a Cherokee. Ever compare the steering and suspension parts between the two? How about the frame? Nahh, all that in a rig that gets 20mpg on a good day comes only in one package: the H3.

Re: Why H3?
 

Well today outside of wal-mart this 4x4 enthusiast guy who was driving this sky-high crazy monster Jeep riding on 45's (i think) and had every accessory you could think of, came up to me and said, "...I was just admiring your H3 and noticed you leveled it and added bigger MT tires, just to let you know those H2's loook like SH*T and I would take an H3 over and H2 anyday."

Not sure why he told me that but I felt pretty good especially coming from a guy who knows his wheeling. Nothing against the H2's but the H3's just look better, it's like comparing a WWF wrestler (the H2) to a fit MMA Fighter (the H3), the wrestler may have more strength but the MMA fighter would have way more stamina and agility. But this is just my personal opinion.:o

Re: Why H3?
 

WTF??? I work with someone who has a cheap Cherokee, and it DOES NOT LOOK like a H3, or the H3 does not look like a Cherokee!:mad: :mad:

Waiting for the H4
This might become my motto:D

Re: Why H3?
 

I agree, wtf. I had a '92 Cherokee for 2 years and the look and feel is very different from my H3.

X3 :D

Re: Why H3?
 

Actually I would say that the H3 looks more like the new Jeep Commander. Its funny I've been sitting here reading and reading.....6 pages......wow!!!

Ok, I know how crazy you H3 owners are, but really, is it really fair to say that a H3 is better looking then a H2 or even a H1. It looks like an H2 farted and "poof?, "what's this" "it's a tiny h2, but no, its not, its.....wtf is it...??

And now I can't wait until l hear a reply from..."dеiтайожни" What will he/she say this time, what sort of wonderful comeback I have to look forward to.

Re: Why H3?
 

Always trying to pick a fight. What is your problem? What did I do to make you hate me?

Re: Why H3?
 

This was just in the August 2006 issue of Four Wheeler magazine. A reader was unhappy about the magazine picking the H3 Hummer as their #1 pick for 4-wheeling. So he wrote a letter to the magazine. Below is the letter from the reader, along with the magazines response?.

Readers Letter -
Hummer H3 = Yuppie Ride?
?The H3 is the best 4x4 on earth? Yeah right ? what world are you on? How many H3s are actually taken on dirt roads, let alone four-wheeling? Maybe one in 100, if that. The H3 is nothing but an expensive S-10, plain and simple. The sight of a H3 at the local trail head gives images of the Sierra Club wanting to close down the trails. H3s are nothing but niche vehicles for yuppies.

Four Wheeler Magazines response ?
Guess that makes us a bunch of yuppies. Maybe worse then yuppies, as we have plans to acquire a long-term H3 for testing in the future. Do you still love us now?..

Re: Why H3?
 

Really...just wait....:D

Re: Why H3?
 

We may be crazy but not in how we like H3s. Beauty has always been in the eyes of the beholder, and if some of us prefer the looks of an H3 to an H2, what is the problem?
Believe me, with or without my discount, I could have afforded an H2 and the fuel bills it would bring. However, I never really considered owning one after driving one for a few weeks when they were first released. Just too large for me. I like the looks, loved the interior, but for someone who despised trucks and large SUVs, the thought of owning one was never seen in my future.

However, after driving a Wrangler cross-country a few times to Moab, I decided that it was time to step up to a larger vehicle that is capable to go off-road. When the H3 was released, I like it from the first time I saw it. It was smaller, easier to maneuver, so I purchased one, and have never regretted the purchase.

So, I am not sure how a person can compare the two. They are both great off-road, they are both comfortable to drive, they are both good-looking vehicles (at least to me they are). However, they are different vehicles. For some it might be a monetary decision, for some they might not like the looks of the H2, for some it might be they don?t like the size of an H2; who really cares what the reason is, as long as the person is happy with the decision they made.

In a few years, will you be cutting down the H4, saying it was farted out of the rear end of a H3 (or maybe an H1)?

Maybe someone should ask you, why an H2, when you could have purchased an H1?

Re: Why H3?
 

How about the non-stop comments about single mothers, puppies and russians....

Re: Why H3?
 

wtf? Are you on drugs? We haven't even spoken since page 4, what's with this recent attack out of the blue? All the puppies been kicked, and you still need your fix?

Get over yourself, congratulations on owning an h2, the h3'rs are happy; go bother the h1'rs or find another forum of people to convert for whatever motive it is you have for getting more people to purchase h2s.

Re: Why H3?
 

:giggling:

No, it doesn't. The Commander is blocky, the greenhouse is too tall and that grill ... :( . The H3 has the edges rounded off just slightly and GM/AM General/whoever did a far superior job of designing the front end and the windows.

In terms of market position, the H3 competes with the Liberty (1) and not the Commander, which has "soccer mommy" written on both sides with "soccer daddy, too" stenciled on the tailgate. It seems pointed right at lower-end Tahoe and Expedition buyers.

The H3 is designed to appeal to the people who used to buy an XJ as a good starting point for an off-road vehicle.

(1) Except the H3's warranty is superior. And it's safer in a crash. And cruise control and a security system are standard on the H3. And you can't get a locking rear diff on a Libby. And . . . you know, I have to wonder why DCX puts a model comparison on the Libby web page when the H3 kicks its tail so soundly. :cool:
