Re: JK vs. H3
I'm guessing you don't absolutely need the removable half or full doors, removable top, electronic sway bar disconnect, sfa with front locker and full internal roll cage, or you wouldn't be asking. You'd have to go with the JK. And tho Jeep has a longer history, both brands are legends.
It sounds like both are priced right and will do what you want, so it should come down to which one fits and feels better. Test drive them both again and run them through their paces. Take them offroad if you can. Think about passing, acceleration, comfort and control placement. If you're seriously thinking about upgrading a JK-X, consider warranty issues, cost and downtime while you install and adjust them.
I have nothing bad to say about the JK ... it seems awesome. But I sure do love my 5-spd H3 adventure w/ sunroof & monsoon. Fits me ergonomically, does great on-road and is amazing offroad. Huge sunroof and sweet Monsoon mp3 sound system. Plus, the radio and hvac controls are easy to use with my gloves on and eyes on the road. Onstar is cool, with the built-in phone, vehicle diagnostics, theft locator, driving directions, and emergency services. It's safe too ... 5-star crash rating and front to rear side curtain airbags.
Good luck making up your mind ... they're both great trucks. If you can wait a year, the H3 is supposed to get a bigger engine, prob a V8.
