Today I was out driving (being a mall queen hehe) when I spotted a Yellow H3 parked and just sitting there. Well, I had my camera with me and decided to take some pictures of my Yellow H2 parked side by side with the H3 for you guys. I even ducked down and took a few shots under it (best I could it was in a public parking place ya know lol) So here ya go hope you like em. I resized them 800x600 for posting here, but if you want the original 2514x1960 images I zipped them all up and you can get them by clicking Here

How poetic

Fubar 04-29-2005 09:14 PM

sweet thanks for sharing.
It looks like the H3 has more ground clearance than the H2? Maybe it's just the angle of the shot. Refering to 2nd & 3rd shots from the top.
Is the rear window retractrable into the swingout tailgate?

Thai 04-29-2005 09:34 PM

It's like a mini-Me! DAmn, i will have a hard time telling them apart on the streets!! Does it have a rear air suspension and locker like H2??

XM DUDE 04-29-2005 09:38 PM

Damm I want one!

Fubar 04-29-2005 09:56 PM

you can oder the rear locker as an option

Klaus 04-29-2005 10:46 PM

Oh NO! Don't let Drty see these pictures! You parked in a handicapped spot!

Dallion 04-29-2005 11:31 PM

The rock rails are definately higher. I would say the rock rails on the h3 are about 4" higher than on the H2.

I was very impressed with how it looked in person, and though the shots underneath arent that great in the pics, I did look around for quite a while under there and everything is protected and tucked away as it should be.

I wasnt interested in the h3 before, but now I think I may buy one for my gf.

Much better than I expected overall.

****...too bad i just got my gf the new pathfinder like 6 months ago...i would have definitely MADE her get an H3...only problem was, at the time we had one car ( which I traded in for my H2 ) then realized that w/ the H2 being the ONLY ride we had...she'd have to drive it...three days later she had her pathfinder..

don't touch my ride byotch!

ILMAO, we almost did the same thing. We bought the SUT and had the nissan Z, but with winter, that's a bad car to leave the garage with. so we went and looked at the pathfinder and loved it, but she said what about the H3? GOOD POINT! SO we waited and i drove her to work throughout the winter on those bad days and now ordered the H3. I don't know who is more excited, her or me?

Dallion, I noticed this earlier but didn't say anything- You're a double posting attention whore, aren't you?

Ouch what?

NoMoGMPG 04-30-2005 02:43 AM

Looks pretty good, I like its approach angle. Only thing I noticed is the x-member, looks like a definite rock catcher. Maybe Rubberduck will make a slide shield for it.

To me the H3 looks like a cross between a Dodge Durango and a Jeep Liberty.

I have not seen one in person yet.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

XM DUDE 04-30-2005 03:20 PM

Yah but it will eat a Liberty for breakfast!

funpilot 04-30-2005 03:27 PM

Also looks the the Hummer's love affair with rust will be part of the vehicle as well judging by the pics. What is the best way to protect that once you get a new H3?

Klaus 04-30-2005 03:39 PM

Paint everything underneath with rust color paint!

tower 04-30-2005 09:40 PM

DRTY, the OUCH was that I thought Dallion's (now removed) photos and text were a little harsh.

HGW 05-01-2005 02:57 PM

Tnanks for posting the side-by-side.

XM DUDE 05-01-2005 04:34 PM

I can't wait for people to post more pics, it would be cool to see one of these off road!

Here's some more pics;

Thanks for the follow up. Camera angles can be deceiving. It's just in those first shots of the Yellow one the front skid plate looks higher. I'm completly happy with my H2 and after doing a local run this weekend where an H1 lost his trans and another one had some kind of issue I don't need to look any further than my driveway for the truck of my dreams.

Dallion 05-01-2005 10:55 PM

Phil your absolutely right about the rock rails. I was just assuming that there were going to be rock rails on the finished h3 and that if they were, they would be higher than the ones on the h2.

But what was on the one that was parked next to me in that picture was just some kmart plastic

XM DUDE 05-02-2005 12:25 AM

not to worry as I'm shure that there are lots of after market goodies in the works as we speak.

timgco 05-02-2005 01:20 AM

[/quote]In fact I don't see rock rails or rocker panel protection listed as an option. Does anyone know if this even offered on the H3?[/quote]

th rails and all of the underbody protection is an option... even whne you order the Adventure package, it is not standard. Check out hummer's site when you build one and you have to add all 3 options. Kinda strange it wasn't set up as options packages like the H2.

Hart1 05-02-2005 02:18 PM

Wow, good catch! Thanks for the pics, I am very happy I went with the H2. Side by side, the H3 looks like the H2's little retarded brother.

BTW< you can build an H3 at Hummer.com, and rockers are an option......

The H3 I built costs 31,600.00

ditto...
and a lot less ground clearance than the liberty.
there is a lot of stuff hanging down under there.
and there isn't much protecting it.
I was there when phil took his pics and we didn't
have any good comments other than the interior was pretty nice.

don't get caught between the rear hatch when it
is closing - you will lose an extremity.

tower 05-02-2005 02:28 PM

Yah. but it's a really cute little brother. All you guys are talking about buying one for your GF. I'm wondering, can you order the GF as an option on these?

Buckeye Hummer 05-02-2005 02:33 PM

GM did a pretty good job. The h3 looks agile to me and will probably do well on most trails.

I'm still waiting for the Jeep Rescue though, I hope they make that concept, very cool AND will make GM and AMG continue to improve their product.

ROX 05-02-2005 02:39 PM

F350 or Ranger? I'm glad they made it with the Hummer "look". I wonder if they ride good.
