had been a loyal Jeep/Dodge owner for years. After Lemoning my 04 Dakota V8 4x4 I opted for an 05 Jeep Liberty Renegade Fully loaded. With a 2.5" suspension lift and 31" mudders it was a good rock crawler and did ok in the sands of Ocotillo. But over all I was unimpressed with its girly nature. That and tranny issues. What's with Chrysler and there trannys? After repeated attempts to fix a trans over temp issue my Liberty caught fire while climbing my driveway. The timing couldn't have been better. After settling with Chrysler I got my H3. I love this truck!

I wonder how many Rubicon owners will switch. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
As soon as a Find a Dealer who accepts a GMID in my area I'll be switching from my Wrangler.
I still love the Jeep but as i get older the lack of space becomes just too impractical.

I totally agree.
The only thing that will make the Wrangler’s more popular in the end is price.
80% of your average Jeeps are DD's. You can still pick up a nicely equipped Wrangler for under 25k OTD. That and the convertible factor.
I will say that you really need to love a wrangler since they are so user-unfriendly to own.
Loud
Slow
Bumpy
No storage space
No legroom
Security by Saran Wrap (with the soft top on)
Poor gas mileage
Quarter mile timed using a calendar not a stopwatch
The H3 (to me) is more of the thinking man’s wrangler. Its still fit’s the bill for the rugged utilitarian look but its not so spartan in its amenities.
Regardless it’s gone

I'll be replacing my 1993 twn door Tahoe with an H3. I have held onto this truck for years, because I have been really happy with it. Finally, I have found a vehicle nice enough to even consider getting rid of my old faithful.
My husband has been telling me to get rid of the Tahoe forever. Now I just have to get the H3, sooner or later. I just hope it will be as solid and reliable as this Tahoe. I have put over 225000 miles on it, and never had a single problem.

I replaced my Land Rover 2003 SE3 Freelander with a new H3. When the Lando Rover ran I loved it but it had to go to the dealer almost every month. If they ever fix thier parts issues and their reliability problems LR will be right up there with the Hummers.

I miss some of the creature comforts (heated mirrors and sterring wheel controls) but love the H3!
