Thinking of buying..

[deserth3]

Also, I wonder if anyone can give me info on the stigma attached to owning an H3. My GF just informed me that there is a general consensus that people who drive them are A$$holes. Really the first I have heard of that. I just think the H3 is more like a work of art.

So far everyone that I've met that drives an H3 has been pretty nice.

But I have met a few people that don't own one that can be serious *******s.

I did 20 years in the Air Force so they can hug trees....If they are allowed to choke their trees like that then I think I can drive a hummer.

The adventure in my opinion gives the truck a beafier appearance. I like the bigger tires, heavy duty suspension and the low gearing in 4Low plus the locking rear Differential.
A vehicle of this type should be tactical ready. Hey in this day and age, one never knows.

Yeah, I have gotten the same **** from my friends that H3's are basically built for *******s. But oh well, it's a good vehicle for what I want to do.

As regard to the '06's, I went in yesterday to work with the dealer in Charleston,SC, and there are slim pickings on the 06's, most are either bling'ed out or $40,000. I am waiting to hear between a green adventure package and a black lux package. I will probably go with the green adventure, but it's age is 367 days, that's a lot to be sitting on a lot.

So if anyone knows of any green,white or black '06 H3's out there below 35k without chrome let me know.

Oh and with GMS the 35k adventure H3 comes down to 31k then $500 off that so 30,500 before TTT plus either $3k off or 0% for 60 months. Not a bad deal if you don't mind a little less power and can find a '06 you like.

There is really only one dealer in my area (Upstate NY) so the pickins are pretty slim for the one I want.

I'm also going to get a supplier discount through my company. Hopefully that will save me a few bucks. Probably enough to upgrade to lux version.

Can anyone tell me if there is a discernible difference in HP between the 06 and 07? Feel wise?

here in Qatar, we don't have so many choice. So i have a base model 06 and believe me, for a basic user, it's quite enough! just this lack of power in soft sand... but i'm talking abour real sand and 100m high dunes!

Talking about others? in this country, Land cruisers are kings... And before i bought my H3, eveybody told me that it was just de la merde (need translation?) in the desert... Well, since i've it, i never get stuck, but saw my friends get layd on the chassis (patrol, land cruiser, pajero, trailblazer...).

And everybody i know is always curious to have a look inside. it's still a myth.
It makes most of people dreams, it makes them throws up sometime, but it does not let anybody indifferent... Even girls like it: strong outside, soft inside.

and whatever people thinks, i'm driving one of my dreams... as everybody around here.

Salut Xof, ?a va? Where are you from in France? I mostly know Belgium but I've traveled a little in Normandy, Paris, the Loire Valley and Orl?ans

There's a couple of french-bashers here, but they're just playing around. C'est juste qu'ils ne savent pas de quoi ils parlent, la plupart n'ayant jamais ?t? en France ou aux pays francophones. But we all love our trucks and you're wecome here. Post some photos. I'd love to see you driving up those massive dunes you're talking about.
Soyez le bienvenu!

[Xof in H3]

Originally, i'm from Paris (of course!) but i've been travelling for 10 years... but ok, bring a chick, and i'll proove i'm french... salut chérie!

Anyway, it's cool to join the family!
