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.

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

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)

YES!!!

but the jeep

[usetosellhummer]

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.

Or maybe I am starting to belive my own sheet?

You came to a hummer forum to see if you should get a Jeep

Here are some differences I see between the 2007 JK vs the 2007 H3. I own an H3 but haven't driven a JK, so this is all from the specs. I didn't list the things they have in common and probably missed some.

Off road

JK Ultd Rubicon ... solid front axle, electronic sway bar disconnect, locking front diff, longer wheelbase (may help climbing), more ground clearance, better approach & departure angles, removable doors, removable top

H3 Adventure ... bigger stock tires, better breakover angle, smaller turn diameter, wider track, more low end torque

On road

JK ... lighter weight, longer wheelbase (high speed stability?)

H3 ... IFS, more HP throughout RPM range, more low-end torque, (slightly) more high end torque, low road noise, longer range (same mpg, bigger gas tank)

Utility

JK ... more interior volume (partly impeded by roll cage)

H3 ... more payload, more towing capacity

Luxury

JK ... (don't know)

H3 ... power sunroof, many interior choices - including leather, monsoon sound system, lots of chrome options

Safety

JK ... roll cage

H3 ... rear side curtain airbags

shioooooot, my TJ will walk the H3, the JK will really walk it...

[Hummer3]

Where do we find these idiots?

Let's move on to H3 business.

Why are you bunch of "sally's" so fuking butt hurt over someone asking this question? He wasn't talking down on the H3.......just asking a simple question.........

[dеiтайожни]

Perhaps because he is a troll and has already expressed his hatred of the H3? Why some people are taking this thread serious is beyond me.

I was taking it serious because I was interested in what people had to say, and thought it was a legit question....

Jeep questions on a Hummer forum? Why? Seems a little jaded.
My own .02 points to Hummer H3.

Why?
Because I have one, of course.

If I wanted a Jeep, I would have bought one, and probably, would have joined a Jeep forum. Or not, maybe I'd join a Saab forum, and ask questions about Opel.
