RubHer Yellow Ducky, because you are Vietnam Vet I'll respect you this time and answer. I answered the young man's question at the beginning?, buy the real deal not a counterfeit, didn't want him to make the mistake not buy the original.

Now, why am I in here,>> well Vet, what I've been though, I go where I want, I sit where I want, I look where I want, I say what I want, I pretty well do anything I please.
Now that I answered your question this time, The only people I'll give an answer to is a Vietnam Vet with more than 2 or mores Purple's. See, I even set the pecking order that I'll give an answer to.

2 or more Purples without any other accomodations to go along with them. Just means you are an easy target and a sick bay commando.

The way you walked in here spouting you mouth off its easy to see how you earned your purples, probably by walking aimlessly right into the line fire.
Go hang with John Kerry I sure he digs you Jeep guy's and you guys can show each other your Purples.

What we all think about a jeep person here is correct, doesn't belong!!!!!

BUT

IF YOUR NOT A U. S. MILITARY VETERAN, any service, any time, any location, with a HONORABLE DISCHARGE

watch your tongue ! That person (man or woman) Put their life on the line for YOU and they deserve respect...

Sure is a lot of Testerone on here today I was sitting on the fence as well as the original poster. I love the looks of the H3, I was all set to buy an H3 and my wife wanted to wait and check out the JK unlimited. Long story short, we ended up with a JK unlimited Rubi b/c of the removable tops. That doesn't change the fact that a H3 still turns my head and I love the styling/looks of the hummer lineup. I like the JK as well. I don't think it's so much about this being better than that, they all have their pros/cons, so much as your personal preference. I still want an H3. I think if they ever get around to releasing an Alpha LWB H3 pickup truck that could haul my freaking boat around, I would be right there and replacing the Chevy Tahoe that currently does so well at the grocery getting and boat hauling.
That said, the JK is fun to drive, but it suffers from the same problem as the H3, not enough ooommpphhh in the engine dept in my opinion. It does ok, but still it feels sluggish on the hwy. This is all pretty much common news. I was kind of suprised w/ my gas mileage so far, I am averaging around 18/19 tank on a mostly highway miles commute of 75miles/day. There are a lot of places where the JK could be improved quality wise and fit/finish wise, and I think that one of the other posters hit the nail on the head, the JK unlimited is totally designed to compete with and steal away some of those H3 sales, same thing with the FJ. Now, the big question is, what will Hummer due to up the ante, the balls in their court so to speak. . .

I have to agree and disagree with you here RYD. I agree that somebody that has served our country and received an honorable discharge deserves respect and appreciation for that. At the same time it doesn't mean that they deserve respect in general. If somebody acts like a jackass then that is how they deserved to be treats. The above post about only answering people with 2 purple hearts is something that only a jackass (or AE) that thinks he is better than others would say

I kinda have to agree. It's kinda weird to pull rank on a truck forum or in a debate that has nothing to do with the facts or matter at hand.

But- I am a stay at home mom and so...... gfy's.

You came in here bragging about two purples. The NAM w/ the combat V is way more impressive(much respect). Watch who you calling a boot old man or a boot might find its way crammed up your non-Grunt a$$.

BTW The is a Hummer message board not a VFW hall. I have much respect for veterans being one myself, But the chest thumping I've been there done that got the T-shirt crap is a bit childish or a you would call it boot behavior. You seem very stuck on this part of your life, but what have you done since Nam??? We can talk trucks,Jeeps and Hummers all day, but please don't pull the rank sh*t especially only as a Sergeant. That is all

OOH-RAH!

Respect begets respect. Show little and get little regardless of and most especially if you have "done something". Marine or not.

Besides, since when does your X model JK come close to the H3. Is it even 4wd or did you get the 2wd model. With the X or Sahara, you might as well have the IFS that the H3 has since you'll be snapping that weak D30 all the time. That IS IF you got the 4wd.

Looked at the new JK lineup last night. From the standpoint of everyday ease of use, comfort, and quality, forget it. Go with an H3. I haven't been in what felt more like a tin can since I rode in my friends Hyundai. The doors were like paper, and the back seat was pretty clausterphobic, especially with a giant speaker in your face hanging from the crossmember between the b-pillars. It might be the greatest Jeep ever, but it's got a long way to go to match the H3 as the best all-around 4-wheeler. If this is the best they've got, I hate to think about what the old Wranglers were like. No wonder they're usually trailered in/out. I wouldn't want to drive it on the highway either!

so, what does that make for rear seat room in the H3?

since it's smaller

Makes a pretty stupid and weak argument.

thank you for your deeply insightful and completely erroneous viewpoint. It will, in no way, sway any reader's opinion on either vehicle and has simply wasted electricity by moving electrons to post it and transmit it as data.
