Default Mr. Big Red

Announcing the introduction of our newest stable member ........ Mr. Big Red!


2010 H3 Alpha OffRoad Cashmere Leather, Sunroof, Backup Camera, NAV, homelink, etc. LOADED with only 26,000 miles. 1 owner from AZ. The 5.3L engine was replaced @ 25,000 miles. So, I see it as pretty much a brand new vehicle.

He arrived today from AZ. Very clean and a total VIRGIN to the OffRoad world (not for long).

Yep, he is Red Rock Metallic just like Mr. Red Roc'T. So we have fraternal twins (same baby momma and babby daddy but not exactly the same). Just had his first hand wash from Dad.

Mark, you should have contacted me before you bought that H3. I have to come clean and let you know, but this "beaner" passed a few leather permeating gas clouds into the seats of that rig when I test drove it a couple of weeks ago...enjoy! Caveat emptor!

Nice rig. Ya mind me asking what it cost. Also the T sitting there is pretty sharp as well. Do they both share The steering rack troubles or are they just on the early h3's?
Either way pretty sweet.

Thanks, yeah the steering rack is a weak point but the Hunner brace seems to strengthen things up quite a bit. Plus I have a trail spare and fluid I take wheeling just in case.

As far as the price let's just say I negotiated very well once I mentioned the "issues" that it may have. Nothing the warranty won't take care of after contacting my Caddy (former HUMMER) Dealer buddy before the purchase. I had 2 different retired automotive engineers take it for extensive test drives. Yeah, I knew the issues and negotiated accordingly.

Gotta love the "art of the deal" from 1100 miles away.
