OK after following this forum since the H3 was borned (as felsmann) I finally took delivery of my 5 speed 2007 Adventure Slate Blue H3 a wek this past Sunday. It took extactly 6 weeks from the day I ordered it. I used a GM Supplier ID and got it for a few hundred bellow invoice.
My luck was that the day it went into production was the day they put the new armrest into action!! Another detail I noticed they fixed was the carpeting to the right of the accelerator, which from previous test drives I remember it used to pop out and make it difficult to fit the right foot in. They also added a footrest for the left foot. It looks like they have been listening at GM.
The day after I got it I put the Ready lift kit on, and replaced the tires for 5 Maxxis Bighorns; 315/75-16. -The original tires are still available if anyone is interested. By Wednesday I had the Gobi rack on, it was easy and straight forward.
I must thank all you guys for the great amount of information on this site; although some times kind of a teddious process to get through the ocassional bickering... entertaining nontheless
