This thread should be renamed "The return of ZT and MAC".

I hope school doesn't start before the pictures of the girlfriend with the Ferrari get posted again.

Can't we all just get along. We get enough crap from non hummer oweners. do we really need to give it to each other. All three trucks are great.

[blindzebra]

so you seriously think the H3 is no way comparable to a h2 offroad? paaaaaaalease,

[MountainBlue]

Damn... There are some angry folks on this forum, funny, but angry. Tex, you asked a question then pissed all over everyone with your tone, What did you expect?? Some of us live where they don't build houses with garages that will fit the H2, some hate the mpg of the H2, some just don't need that much space. We got ours for a downsize with real 4WD capability and something not everyone has-read explorer, jeep, etc. The 50K loaded and tricked Exp'd just wasn't needed anymore. And as far as power, I already have 325WHP turbo vert' that does that trick. And if I really want more in the H3, I'll drive it up to Denver and have the 375HP supercharger kit installed. But really all the H3 needs in the power dept are listed in my sig.

Tex, I agree with MountainBlue's second sentence there.

As for the H3 ...

I thought about saying something harsh about the size and drivability of the H1, or what I consider the somewhat-ungainly aesthetics of the H2. But it comes right down to this:

In terms of on- and off-road usability, the Hummer H3 is the spitting image of Jeep's old XJ Cherokee, except it comes with amenities the folks at AMC/Renault/Chrysler/Daimler-Benz never thought to put on the bottom end of their model range plus a lift kit and better tires. The old XJ vehicles (the Cherokee, Wagoneer and Comanche) were excellent off-road vehicles with a just little basic work --- lift kit, tires and so forth. As I said, the H3 comes with that stuff when you pick it up at the stealership.

You thought about it, or just did?

Suffice it to say that I consider the H3 to be the best combination of looks and usability among real SUVs.

It's waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy more than a Cheap Cherokee. To lift a Cherokee to take 33" or 35s as some are doing, tires, makes it into a tippy rollover prone nightmare sidehilling. No way, no how can you drive a Cherokee that's got 35s on it at anywhere near the sidehill angle. No way that it'd handle even remotely as well on the twisties either. You'd have to mutilate the body of a Cherokee to get the low stance, the clearance, AND the fitment of the parts an H3 has. A Cherokee is a cheap bucket of jangly bits compared to the H3. They're ok off-road, but just that. How 'bout that really neato 4:1 tcase in the H3? Call up Advance Adapters, do the other work required to fit it, and check out the price for THAT! Last time I checked, puttin' in 4.56 gears front and rear wasn't cheap either. Oh yeah, an e-locker in the rear would be just a little sumpn-sumpn that never made it into a Cherokee. Ever compare the steering and suspension parts between the two? How about the frame? Nahh, all that in a rig that gets 20mpg on a good day comes only in one package: the H3.
