Default Re: H3 or Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

I love my H3 but if your in the market, wait till late this summer. The H3 alpha will be released. I'm not saying you need the V8 I'm satisfied with the I-5 but you may be able to order your 3 with the cast iron front diff that comes standard with the V8. According to GM the cast iron diff will fit all H3's but will only come on the Alpha, the regular H3 will still get the aluminum one(weak point on truck) but maybe you will be able to order one with the diff upgrade? I test drove the 4dr Wrangler about a month ago and liked it also Phild bought one and is in the process of building it up, and It looks great. I would be happy w/either one. like you said one more lux, one more ute. good luck on your choice

I love my H3, for wheeling with the family. It goes anywhere I need to take them and does it in luxury. I myself prefer a crappy ride, roll cages, and heavy mods and a jeep is a better platform for obtaining this, or cheaper for that matter. Put it this way I wont take a sawzall to the fenders of my H3. It all depends what you want it for. Traveling in comfort and having the peace of mind you can drive off into the woods when you get there and not get stuck, H3 is perfect. If you want to roll through life playing Mad MAxx like me, a jeep is a good starting point. I dont care for the new 4 door jeeps, but that just my opinion, they look alright with a big lift, but stock, not so much my style. To each there own! Have fun choosing a starting point. This is the fun part of the game.

I used to have a 2000 Wrangler and loved it. I never had the top up in the summer. I also liked the removable doors.

I like the looks of both. The H3 does have more hp and towing capabilities. The Jeep needs larger tires for sure, otherwise it looks like a station wagon or something. I cannot find a Jeep on the lot anyplace the way I wanted and was going to buy one a week ago and decided to wait since I would have to order one and they cannot tell me when it would arive.

Now I am changing my mind becasue of the discount and rebate and looking at the specs on the two.

If you dont wheel that often and dont plan on modding it for wheeling, go with the luxury and the H3........

if you are going to wheel it lots and plan on modifying it, get the Jeep.....

dont want to really do any modding, no time, no extra cash for that we just had a baby. I would pretty much just be driving it which was another reason I thought about the H3, it come with larger tires, and more power from the start. for the same price I can get the H3 whereas with the jeep, I would have to add another 1500 for tires, wheels

Agreed, one of the best factory sunroofs in the automotive business. Worth it even at retail of $800 or $900.

As a daily driver the H3 is hard to beat. Even with the I5 (which is comparable to the Jeep's V6) it's still my choice.

is the sunroof also with the 3500 rebate? do you know what the term is for the 0% financing? if I found an H3 on the lot with out the sunroof, do they just add it in for me in the shop?
