    Pulled the trigger on an H3

    Traded in the 02 Axiom on a 06 H3....
    46K, leather, sunroof ect ....And it had an electric rear locker!!!!

    Cant wait to Mod it out...37s are on the list

    And of course my new Flex-Bar Super flexy IFS system is already in the works for H3s!!!!

    This way, PBKid and I can take all the same LWB lines at Moab

    Not to worry, Ive still got my original VX and another parts VX....So Im not going anywhere , soon....

    The H3's are pretty nice trucks and congrats on your purchase. I test drove an H3 at the dealership "off-road" course they had set-up a while back. Very impressive with their capabilites and nice creature comforts. I came very close to saying "sold - write it up"; however, I just flat don't like any vehicle with 4-doors (no matter what it is). That's why I was so bummed when the 2-door H4/HX was cancelled due to the recession. Hopefully, Ford will build the retro Bronco 2-door Concept someday.

    Cool

    Congrats !

    The H3 caught my attention an while back,but didn't like the V5 engine idea.


    I do like the interior and some exterior features,but to me the H3 looks to simple or to basic unlike the H2 that looks so agressive.

    Another con is the windows,the windows are too small.

    Overall the H3 is allright.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    It's an I5 not a V5, fyi. Same as the Colorado, uses a balance shaft to keep vibrations down.

    H3 isn't a suburban, it's based on a Colorado platform.

    lol I'd take an I6 over a V6 any day of the week! I loved my old Pontiac 250 OHC-6 and was going to swap a Trailblazer I6 into my 69' Pontiac project.

    Heck, the gas mileage sucks anyway, why not get the V8? Dang thing weighs almost 5,000 pounds anyway.

    Most reviews of the I5 version complain about a lack of power on the road, but say it is wonderful off-road.
    95 Trooper with a buncha stuff nobody here cares about...
