Hummer didn't survive offloading last weekend.

I think we all liked you a lot more last summer when you didn't post moronic crap regularly. Keep it ignorant bro

A stock H3 with front and rear lockers will go just about any place a Rubicon can go. The Rubi benefits in some situations by the shorter wheel base giving it more clearance, but on the same note, the short WB Rubi's aren't as stable as the H3 in some situations. Check out a couple of these clips. A Rubi following some of the same lines would go tumbling.

I'm sure you can find about 100 youtube vids of Jeeps to every one of an H3, which is probably less the the actual ratio of Jeeps to H3 so you'll have the definate advantage there.
Make no mistake, I'm not bashing or diminishing the abilities of the Jeep Rubicon. I owned one for 4 years myself. But a locked H3 is nearly as capable in most offroad situations while providing many benefits of it's own on road. And I'll even venture to say an unlocked base H3 is probably more capable offroad than an unlocked TJ or JK...
Interesting thing about your comparison of the H3 to the JK/TJ, the H3 wasn't even designed or marketed as a direct competitor to the open top Jeeps but it still comes very close to them in offroad performance which is admirable with an IFS and the nearly 5k lb weight of a 4 door hardtop.
The H4 was to be the vehicle to compete with the Rubicons.

I stand corrected abou the tires. Modded JK or not, the newer H3's with F&R lockers would have no issues with that climb, contrary to your opinion and intent by posting that link. I answered by posting H3's doing similar climbs and decents with no issues. Comments?

Honestly I'm at work and look forward to watching the videos. I've been scouring the web looking for decent H3 videos. Trust me, I love my Hummer, I just don't expect a lot out of it.

I got a chance to watch, those videos aren't even close to the same, that's like driving up a steep driveway, lol.
Here's the same climb with a Land Cruiser on 40's
