I was driving the Alpha in that article, and there are off roaders in the R&D dept. just not many. GM pushed to get that truck to marker, they are not the designers of the WR stuff, Amstar (AMG and Starcraft) is. It takes time to get things like that developed, thats why you didn't see it right away.

Here is a link--- www.amstarfun.com

You see what I'm saying? That stuff doesn't take time to develop. Sway bar disconnect, done. Front lockers, done. Skid plates on the axles and hangers, done. Dual bead locks, done. Winch package, done. There's no R&D on these things, simply not properly catering to the Hummer buyers in the proper manner. I personally guarantee you that had this package been an option, I, and many MANY others on this forum would've bought it. The H3 works well with the Adventure package, but it's kinda like buying a chocolate cake only to discover that you can get icing on it. Can you put icing on a cake after you get it home? Sure! But wouldn't you rather BUY it that way? Everything professionally installed, included in the warranty, included in the purchase price (especially when I got 3.25% financing!!!!!) I could afford to add the stuff, but that's not my point. I'd be willing to bet that there's some people that at the time of sale would put it allllll on there (as evidenced by the long long long build sheets I've seen on here). Some of those people, not all, will NOT revisit the open pocket book mentality of the new sale, or can't afford it up front without it being included in the financing.

Spilled milk for sure, but DAMMIT GM, THINK, WILLYA? There's a reason Toyota's catchin' up. Sell us, we're easy, it just takes a little lovin'.

That being said, I'm 90% sure that my H3 will get most of these goodies that I can't make myself. One thing of note, the extra under protection and the rock bars should've been in the Adventure package. It's kind of silly to give some people a vehicle with a 4:1 tcase, a locker, and 4.56 gears the keys without it. Yeah, the price would've been higher, but it's like a peanut butter and air sandwich. Charge us for the jelly, but slap it on!

Dayum that project H3 is awesome!!!!!!!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

you don't seem to understand that the H3 was built by GM, and the aftermarket parts were built by AMG and Amstar. Thats why there was a delay it getting them to market. Plus, there is a very very small portion of the H3 owners that would even know what this stuff is used for. It makes no sence to have these parts be part of the options list when .005% would want them. thats what aftermarket is for.
