JK vs H3

[Dennis Lorenz]

I am looking at the new Jeep Wrangler JK and am leaning toward it from what I have read on it. It seems much more capable than the H3 in stock form. I really like it because it is a solid axle. I am not much on the IFS. Has anyone had any issues with their H3 IFS? Why should I choose an H3 over the JK. By the way I would wait for the Rubicon edition.

If you're a solid front axle man, there's really no debate. Although I think plently of people here would take issue with the idea that the H3 is "less capable".

H3 is the most for the money! Jeep still rides hard and does not have the nice interior. You do the pepsi challege bro and tell us what you think.

Have you ridden in the new JK?

Man, I don't know. For a solid axle front end it rides pretty damn good. The new Wrangler is leaps and bounds ahead of the TJ. I can see where some people will have hard time deciding.

A lot of loyal Jeepers hate the new JKs because they think they are too much like H3s. But you can take the top off so it's going to appeal to a lot of people who would want a true 4 door convertible that's affordable (unlike the open top H1)

naw I am a Hummer owner and took a blood oath back during my sales days (hazing I can't discuss) but I am sure the jeep has caught up nicely.

You must have us confused with Hummer salesmen. Get the Jeep, I think it will fit your alternative lifestyle better.

Yes, they come off the front and the rear actually

Very certain they come of. And come off very easily.

There's even a little access panel to unplug the wiring harness so that when the doors are off you don't see anything exposed.

Now, the question is. Who is going to be the first person to come up with something to "plug" into the window wiring harness to work something while the doors are off.

Thanks to those that posted useful information. I am sorry that some of you saw this as a worthless question. If you are interested in a certain vehicle why would you not go to a forum to get opinions on it from people that actually own it. I feel sorry to those that felt threatened by my asking an opinion.....

Not threatened at all. It was a good question and sparked some spirited debate.

Heehee...

They are 2 different vehicles.

If I could have both I would love to have a 4-door JK Rubicon and my H3.

I am sure with the front locker, live axle and sway dissconnect the JK would do better in extreame articulation situations. The 4-dr JK wheel base is 116" ( i think) which is pretty long but should be better on the hwy. The JK with a plastic hard top will be noisyer on the hwy for sure (Man I'm getting old) The Jeep is still a Jeep.

I just got back from a 5-day camping trip in the Nevada desert and mountains and am very glad I was in the H3. Great off road and Great mileage and cruising speed even when fully loaded.
