Thought all you Humm Bugs might like to see this. I thought it was kinda interesting... From what I've read this was after it's virgin voyage of the Rubicon. I think I've found myself a new job http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Hmmm...somehow this doesn't seem to be as trail rated as it should be.

Holy cow! My wife would kill me if I did that to a vehicle.... They sure did beat the crap out of it!

I don't think H2 or H3 vehicles that were owned by private owners would look like that.

IIRC - the actual H3 test mules didn't look like that after the Rubicon.

On a side note - it looks like the driver took the wrong line and in turn, took out the flare and parts of the rocker panel.

It didn't lose the rear bumper. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif
Poor truck didn't know what hit it. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif
Check out the guy laughing in the background.
And the "trail guide" shirt. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif
What a POS.

I'm sure the Rubicon was the final testing grounds for this vehicle....hell, I'd be laughing it up and having a good time also if I was running that test run http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

There was a group of them here in Colorado running Jenny Creek about 3 weeks ago with the same lic. plates. My guess is they started in michigan and made their way out west...too much fun http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Doesn't look anymore trail ready than the GC to me http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I pretty sure the Jeep guys are just as disappointed as us. That departure angle is painful to look at.

Ahhh.... the Rubicon. I've got a score to settle with that trail. With my new bumper & rock rails I'm ready this time.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

While watching the Tour, I noticed a segment on whatever show where jeep was doing a joint venture to demonstrate the trail ready concept. All the "gyp" exes were cooing and strutin around their product. The other "vested party" was none other than Disney....

Anybody else catch this or had I just finished a big <span class="ev_code_RED">Dennis special</span> BC homegrown spleef? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

So, one second you're big stud monster wheeler and the next you're a crying, whimpering little sissy that can't bear to look at body damage?

Ever hear of "trail testing" a vehicle? Hummer does it, Jeep does it, LR does it, VW does it, Toyota does it, Porsche does it, etc...

whats the big deal, its another 4x4 soccerwagon with no clearance and IFS

most here should be familiar with that concept, just that you could probably buy two of these and actually scale serious trails with either

anyone have spy photos of the H3liberty as well??


LMFAO

Yeah, that Commander has got to be disappointing to the Jeep crowd. It looks like a cheap Chinese knock off.

What do you expect? Jeep is desperately trying to follow the Hummer brand and it's failing miserably.
