One other thing, don't think about a H3, especially if your use to the RR/RRS. You will not be happy at all....just stick with the H2

Re: Help plz
Having owned 7 hummers and 5 currently, I would say the 08 h2 rides just about as nice as a lexus SUV or RRS. Its leagues above my 03 h2, not sure how much of that had to do with the fact the 03 was 4 years old when I traded it in and drove the 08 the same day but seriously the 08 does not feel any bumps, its amazing.

Re: Help plz
Rasm and the other H3 guy....H3 does NOT outwheel an H2. I have wheeled both many times. Pics of both of you "wheeling" please.
H3 alpha with 35's would be a good match, but stock for stock, ground clearance, tires, locker gives H2 the edge in most instances. I have not come across an obstacle that an H3 could fit through and my h2 couldn't. However I have been on numerous slippery hill climbs where my H2 pulled H3's up. BFG AT vs Bridgestone Duallers there.
As for comfort you are smoking crack if you think an H3 is more comfortable than an H2.

Re: Help plz
Alan I don't know if you are referring to me as the other H3 guy or not, but here's a couple anyway.

I'll have more after September 20. The turning radius on the H3 is far better than the H2, this coupled with it's smaller size makes a gigantic difference in the ease with which it negotiates mountain steep, tight, brush covered Jeep trails around my house. It weighs significantly less and my H3 has a rear locker and 35's also.

Did read post.
At Tellico H2's and H3's are very comparable. But, H3's seemed to get high centered easier than H2's, but were surely more nimble in tight trails.
So did the H2's not make it anywhere the H3's did? And did any bone stock h3's go up the obstacles bone stock H2's did? Not the first time out at moab. I believe they broke front diffs. I am not saying one is better than the other, and there are no facts to back up the assertion that a stock h3 will out wheel a stock h2. Thats my point.

Re: Help plz
Alan,
I have a mountain right behind my house. It has loose dry soil and rock, it is surrounded on all sides by thick scrub oak with thick branches that rip into paint. The trails wind up the face of the mountain and in places are very steep.
Not only is the H3 much more fun to take through these trails, it outperforms my H2 on the exact same trails. The H2 requires multiple point turns to negotiate the turns and still gets abused by the brush. Up the steeps the H2 digs holes in the loose soil and buries itself. The H3 works hard also, but gets up.
My friends Jeeps don't do any better.
Don't get the wrong idea, I like the H2 better. For most stuff I do believe it can slightly outperform the H3. But like I said this argument is stupid, the H2 costs a lot more. My H2 is lifted with 37 13.50's.

So then we agree.  Rasm? What is your basis that the h3 can outwheel an H2?

Show me where I said it outwheels? I said in many regards, it beats the H2, like water fording, better turning radius, and with 35's, it's got equal or better angles. Take into consideration that this was a response to a guy who said the H3 doesn't even come close to the H2.

Again, never said it was more comfortable, just talked about legroom and headroom, and that it's not an issue for tall people to be comfortable in an H3.
I loved the seats in the H2, the H3 seats are comfy but the H2 seats are simply incredible (well, atleast on pre-08's, never sat in the 08)
