HURF is off the scale

Extra Pay??

Job Security,,,Just thought you guys would enjoy some pics.

Sheet rock boards are 5'. When the back seats are folded down,,the floor is not level (bummer) the rear seats are about 3-4" higher than the rear floor, so the rock is on an angle.

I am 6'8" tall and the seats are All the way back in that pic.
So the sheets just fit, and yes they were touching the front seats.


The good:

Like I said I am tall and this truck has as much leg room as a full sized one,,and still room behind the drivers seat.

The truck is tight and quiet. I live about 1/2 mile down a Michigan dirt road,,,with thaw and freeze it gets very "washboardy" No squeeks/rattles.

For a stock truck it wheels great, lots of articulation, gearing is good, Center of gravity /ground clearence is good, Rear locker is nice,,5 speed is tight and well geared, turning radius is Awesome

I would think that it could follow my built CJ7 around all day,,with only the tightest spots being an issue,,or when a front locker is needed

The Bad:

I need a Full Sized Truck. This is not a big truck,,good and bad. I would say it is size comparable to a Chevy Extended Trail Blazer.
I am usually assigned a H2,,'Burban,,Tahoe,,Silverado,,Escalade,,etc

View,,Like all Hummers,,

Front of the Rear wheelhouse flares catch alot of mud,,bugs,stones,etc

Power,,The power is "OK" Does a fine job because the gearing is right,,and the 5 speed helps. I want our 310 hp aluminum block 5.3 dropped in. But again I am a gear head and usually wheel a 250 hp AMC 258 CJ7 that weigh's less than half of what the 220 hp H3 weigh's.
It does fine around town,,on the highway,,an Off Road.

Step in height is tall,,good (ground clearence) and bad,,The one my wife orders will have the removable steps


Overall I think it is a Great truck and we should sell alot of them.

I will order an automatic for my wife when her current lease (Buick Ranier) us up next year
