The H3T is one sweet ride. The Jeep was alot of fun too but it was total utility. Not many creature comforts. I mainly did the trade because I really need a truck to haul my dirt bike in. Got tired of hooking up the trailer. The I5 seems to have more acceleration than the 6 in the Jeep. The length and width are taking some getting use to, but otherwise, I'm very happy with my trade. I got the splash guards and bed extender. Also going to get the bike chock when they come in. Of course, I had to get the sunroof to retain somewhat of an "open air" feeling.


Just another stock white H3t:

Contemplating the same thing. I may get a Hemi dropped in my Unlimited JK, but then again I really dig the H3T. I used to have the regular H3, stil miss it.

best of luck.

Congrats! My friends got a Rubicon(s) when they first came out (2004) and they were very capable. I guess other than the obviously longer wheelbase, they would be similar offroad, except the Jeep obviously has the advantage of SFA and front articulation (I had a 98 5.9 ZJ lifted and flipnA that thing could flex and never let me down).

However, I'm in the same boat where I wanted (needed) a truck now and there's not much out there that's ready to go as much as these, although it's a shame they (the one I want) is so hard to find and so darn expensive!

 

Mine was a 2006. I bought it new and drove it for about 2 1/2 years. Including a 1600 mile round trip to Houston pulling a 12' trailer with a motorcycle:

and another 1600 mile round trip to Houston in 40 hours. It never left me stranded and I still have major respect for Wranglers.

It was like a swiss army knife:

Door/no doors/top/no top/hard or soft. So many options.

If Jeep had a pickup version, like the Brute conversion, I probably would have bought one. Never drove a JK, but I hear they are pretty comfy compaired to the TJ. After 2 1/2 years of bouncing around and rumbling down the road in the Jeep, the H3T was a much appreciated change and is a better fit for me. Gonna miss dropping the top though. Hopefully the sunroof will help scratch that itch.

Congrats on your H3T! Auto or 5 speed? I thought the base model came with the steel wheels?

I picked up an 09 H3 for my wife last month and I've been trying to talk her in to letting me trade my Colorado for a H3T. All these pictures of H3Ts are killing me!

Thanks. It's a base model with optional automatic transmission, aluminum wheels, power sunroof and trailer hitch.

Very COOL!!!

Congrats on your H3T!!

 

hey, if you hear any info on that bike choke, let us know. I need one for my ride, the accessories are very hard to come by. They threw them all out there and 95% of them are unavailable! shame on u hummer!!!

 

^^Typical GM, sad to say...I am having such a difficult time finding the right combo of truck (color/options)...They all seem to be black or white (or similar color) and all fully loaded [Alpha - which is what I'm looking for].

I was going to suggest...how hard would it be to make something? I haven't studied them enough yet (don't have mine yet), but can't be that difficult to make or source from other/modify accessories...Still, they shouldn't advertise all that stuff, argh.

 

My dealer contacted his distributor to get more info. He said they now have a part number, but not a price, and of course we can't order without a price. I guess once they are ready to ship, pricing will be available, and we can finally place orders. He was advised to get back with them in 3 or 4 weeks. That was last week. Hopfully we will get part numbers and prices on all the other goodies at the same time. I'll keep ya updated...


Thanks,

WGW
