nice, what are some likes and dislikes about it?

[bawitheba]

some people dont like the way it drives and rides. it drives and rides like a truck not a car. its not the smothest ride arround. The gas is not bad i get 22 on the highway and 18 in town. I love it and probly will own one for a really long time. It has 16 inches of clearance and can go through 28 inches of water. I love the seats they are so comfortable. I love the haters out there i get more flack than praise for it. Hummers have such a bad name but i love it.

I'm a H1 fan, and I wasn't impressed by the H2. But those H3's seem pretty cool.

Nice truck BTW

[skife]

does it have the I5 in it?

it needs some more aggressive tires on it now.


do you plan on using it for offroading?

[bornl33t]

Remember the Jeep Cherokee? Those things where tanks. Not alot of tech, and a solid rear axle gave them a bad rap. "They ride rough"...blah blah blah. I've seen Cherokees with 300-400,000 miles on them.

The H2's were a joke. The h3's look like they are actually pretty close to the Cherokee. What kind of engine? What kind suspension? Does it have a snorkel on the passenger side?

Im not a huge fan...but if you plan to off-road then thats cool. IFS or solid axle? Solid axle rear right?

Bornl33t
I think what you meant on the cherokees is they have a solid front axle vs IFS which reduces ride quality. Many vehicles come with Solid rear axles. yea?

16 inches really? what size tire you running?


Edit: google search turns up you have a leaf sprung solid axle rear, IFS, Vortec I5, 8.5 inches of clearance and ability to ford water at depths up to 24in going 5 mph and stock comes with p265/75's (31's) and possibly an electric locker in the rear.


double ninja edit: check out pirate4x4.com. They dont take to kindly to hummers but what tech they do have is good. You should enjoy.


oh noes triple edit: shouldnt have got me interested. so check out this link. http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=588443 these guys are pretty rugged. Deffiently some useful info if you want to increase your off-road-ability

This thread should be called "My New Tank!"

Hey bawitheba! PM me when you get a sec, I want to ask you about something we discussed a while back..................

[Muzikman]

Never a fan of the H3's, The I5 is just way under powered for the size of the vehicle.

Maxama: 265/75R16's are 32x10.50x16 tires.

[maxama10]

heh, my mistake. Funny thing is I took that right off a website.

[neppo1345]

It's pretty.

I've never been impressed with the (GM) Hummers. I've always seen them as a soccer mom mobile...

On road they're cumbersome and off it I don't think they have what it takes to be a serious off road machine.

But thats coming from a Jeep guy...I'm a little jaded.
