Wow, I didn't mean to start a huge argument! Thanks for answering my radio question everyone
...Now for my two cents. The "H1" that I owned was actually an m998 military humvee, and was the exact opposite of "blinged" And perhaps most importantly, I got it for only 22k.
Now, the fact alone that there are people here claiming that H2s and H3s "do all the same stuff" as an H1 is enough to tell me that you guys are not serious about offroading. Don't get me wrong H2s and H3s are "nice SUVs"...but I have absolutely embarrassed H2s on the sand, mud, and rocks....and my rig was almost 20 years old and less than half the price! (so there goes your price argument) I've taken my humvee up to the windshield in water, and the diesel just shook it off.
I am an avid offroad enthusiast which is why I was so hesitant to buy an H3. The "blinged up" H1 has a Duramax diesel and an Allison tranny....that right there is worth the price of admission. Nothing else can compare...period. I'd rather have 1 Alpha than 3 H2s any day of the week.
