Thanks for the welcome. To answer a few questions I live in Sunset Utah. That's just west of Hill AFB.

I've gone through 3 Blazers. My first was and 88 S-15 Jimmy, 2wd, 2dr. It was fun but couuldn't get out of it's own way because it was a 4 banger. My second was a 95 Blazer 2wd, 2dr. I still have it with over 206,000 miles on it. Bought that one in Kansas. Not many places to go offroading there. Most of it was private land and in the winter ice storms a 4x4 didn't do you too much good. On the ice chains worked better.
My last one was a 2000 2dr, 4wd. I bought it used with 27,000 miles adn traded it at 96,000. Pretty much rebuilt the front end last winter and started to get a feeling something major was going to break on it. So I decided to trade it in and buy something new.
This forum was one of the deciding factors for me to get a H3. Overall there are not many complaints or problems with the H3. I also looked at the avalanche, GTO, Monte Carlo, Jeep, and the ugly FJ (that standard white top kills me).
But no matter what I looked at I always went back to the Hummer. Besides I've always had better luck with GM than any other make.
Sorry, I didn't mean to write a book.
