New to offroading, how does the H3 compare with an Jeep Rubicon?

You guys are a trip Sorry I was in a meeting for the last hour and missed out on the fun!

I know what the H3 can do which is why I didnt buy a Rubi Unlimited and lift it then drive a crappy vehichle down the road. I bought an H3 that is 300% better on road and 95% as good on the trail.

Well said, although lifted TJ/LJs can be made to ride quite well and safely, if you're into the nice street ride/room and all of your other valid points along with great offroad capability go H3. (Note that we're debating levels of greatness in offroad capability, I take issue that I "bagged" the H3 anywhere. I admitted you were right on a number of points!).

Please consider, hard as it may be to believe, some people LIKE the Jeep-like ride on-road just like some people like to drop their rides and put on stiff shocks for the on-road handling (this is straying off the topic of the thread though).

If I had my dream, I'd be driving a restored Scrambler around daily I LIKE feeling like I'm in a Jeep, it's something different than everything else out there. It's NOT for everyone and I never said it was.

I've already offered to go trail riding with my friend in his H3, I'm very interested to see how it stacks up against my different Jeeps! I tried not to draw too many conclusions and asked for informed opinions. Sorry if it came off another way.

If we need another new, larger DD, you BETTER believe that the H3 would be on the list from what I've read around here (probably ahead of a Jeep GC for the reasons you mentioned) and learned from my friend.

Maybe I'll see you all on the trail sometime and you can show me what an H3 can do.
