It's interesting that you all found the photos and images great until I let you know that I don't actually like the H3. I'm sorry that many of you do not understand why the H3 is not a good off-road platform. It really is too bad that many here like to resort to calling names for lack of better ammunition.

I love how you run completely run over a small tree after landing.

Great pictures and it looks like you had a blast for the day!
This, the video and pictures, is the reason why I did not want to purchase a used car and certainly not one rented out for this use. 
I think you made a great investment by purchasing the insurance. The problem is that you left me with the itch to do the same thing with my own truck. |

"Don't worry, it's a rental."
Nice air, but I give you a 7 on the landing.

HHHMMMMM and people wonder why I never would buy a used rental as a vehicle. People always talk about what great deals they are. Great pics and vid.

Kind of reminds me when people would rent Shelby Mustang GT350s from Hertz in 1966 and take them out at race them on the weekends. I had a good friend (OK maybe someone closer than a good friend) that rented on a Friday took out the passenger seat and carpet, took off the air cleaner and spare tire, raced it on a Satuday, replaced the interior, cleaner and spare tire and returned it Sunday night. Nobody would touch those GT350H Mustangs when Hertz sold them for around $3,000 and look at their value now.
I think renting an H3 is a great way to decide if you're not sure. IMHO these machines sell themselves!

I'm sorry, I didn't fully explain. My truck is in the shop and the dealership's Enterprise office offered me the H3. I had fun with it, but it is ill-suited for heavy-duty use such as rock crawling or even going overland at high speeds. The H3 is too softly sprung and the suspension bottoms out and slams into the bumpstops. It is a very disconcerting experience.
I thought the H3 would make a nice little truck for my wife, but after driving it, I will not buy one.
Here's my rig. I don't have any crazy photos because I am usually by myself.
That rental looks like a base or lux.With the adventure offroad package It would have been better for major offroading.

Yeah I had the first thought...especially since I am gonig to Moab tomorrow for a few days. But I am pretty sure the wife and dogs would freak out. 
WE are more of a slow crawler typeof off roader in Canyon Country....but if the situation is right...you never know.

I would have to agree but even as a base model it is better suited for offroading than most of the 4x4s on the market right now.
I think your expectations were just set way to high G-wagen. I will be saving the video to view over and over though
