I have to say, I've got a little envy, and a little buyer's remorse thing going on here after reading about the Wilderness Package H3. You know, I would've bought all these options on mine had they been available. I guess what I'm saying is that none of this stuff is new, the H3 Adventure package should've had it all. In my perfect world, the H3 should've come out with the Wilderness Package. None of this stuff is new. The sliders for the axles, been there and done that on my Scouts. Front locker, shoulda darned sure been available. Beotchin' roof rack, coulda figured that we'd wanted one of those. Winch package, Hey, you ARE making Hummers, right? Quick disconnect sway bar? Same ting.

Yeah, it's snivelin' time again. Looks like I'm gonna have to break out the wallet. It would've saved a WHOLE bunch of time and probably some money, if the Hummer folks really knew us. This offroading hobby isn't exactly a new one is it?

I have a suggestion, next time Hummer comes to market with a new vehicle, include some offroaders in the R&D department. They'll make more money, and it'll be done right instead of having to bandaid and modify it later. If you do it yourself, it's a lot of time and money to make it right, if you pay someone, it's a lot of money, AND time to make it right.

Some people would just dump it on the vehicle and include it in the payment up front, very convenient, very nice.

Now, if it just had that supercharger option like the H3T........

Wilderness Package H3. How much they charge you extra for that?. I never heard of it .Info/pics

timgco 02-18-2006 08:48 PM

post the info with pics.

take a pic of the article if you have no way to do so.

This is interesting, esp. if it is not something aftermarket and will be available next year.

nmikes 02-18-2006 11:12 PM

wilderness package??? it didn't by chance say trail rated next to it?

jp's-h3 02-18-2006 11:40 PM

I was driving the Alpha in that article, and there are off roaders in the R&D dept. just not many. GM pushed to get that truck to marker, they are not the designers of the WR stuff, Amstar (AMG and Starcraft) is. It takes time to get things like that developed, thats why you didn't see it right away.

Are these items going to be available as accessories or retrofit? ELocker, axel skid plates, winch bumper.

Damn... I would have gone with all of it had it been available

H3HUMVEE 02-20-2006 06:55 PM

I see they have a front locker

CampMaster 02-20-2006 07:46 PM

I like most of those options...

How much?

I would rather go with a set of four Yokohama GeoLander M/T+

Sewie 02-20-2006 07:48 PM

So when/where can we get this stuff?

DDWH 02-20-2006 07:54 PM

You see what I'm saying? That stuff doesn't take time to develop. Sway bar disconnect, done. Front lockers, done. Skid plates on the axles and hangers, done. Dual bead locks, done. Winch package, done. There's no R&D on these things, simply not properly catering to the Hummer buyers in the proper manner. I personally guarantee you that had this package been an option, I, and many MANY others on this forum would've bought it. The H3 works well with the Adventure package, but it's kinda like buying a chocolate cake only to discover that you can get icing on it. Can you put icing on a cake after you get it home? Sure! But wouldn't you rather BUY it that way? Everything professionally installed, included in the warranty, included in the purchase price (especially when I got 3.25% financing!!!!!) I could afford to add the stuff, but that's not my point. I'd be willing to bet that there's some people that at the time of sale would put it allllll on there (as evidenced by the long long long build sheets I've seen on here). Some of those people, not all, will NOT revisit the open pocket book mentality of the new sale, or can't afford it up front without it being included in the financing.

Spilled milk for sure, but DAMMIT GM, THINK, WILLYA? There's a reason Toyota's catchin' up. Sell us, we're easy, it just takes a little lovin'.

That being said, I'm 90% sure that my H3 will get most of these goodies that I can't make myself. One thing of note, the extra under protection and the rock bars should've been in the Adventure package. It's kind of silly to give some people a vehicle with a 4:1 tcase, a locker, and 4.56 gears the keys without it. Yeah, the price would've been higher, but it's like a peanut butter and air sandwich. Charge us for the jelly, but slap it on!

Dayum that project H3 is awesome!!!!!!!!
