Get the adventure package, if you want bling just ad some chrome. the 33's are the way to go if you ever plan to have fun in the junk.

Nice review HummerJim, welcome to the forum.

Is it worth it? Hell Yeah!!... I have 1900 miles on my H3 and I am VERY PLEASED with it, after a couple of 500+ mile road trips I can say that the highway ride is great and the performance is just fine, even going up in the mountains I can ride @ 70mph without a problem, city drive is awesome as well, the A/C is C O L D and the ride is very smooth. For those who think is lacks power, I'd say you should just get the H2 and if you can't afford it then just get the H3 while you save more money

The only "complaint" I can mention is that the front skid plate felt down after 1600 miles, I think the bolts were not tight enough or something... anyway, just make sure that the bolts are tight and enjoy your H3

I have been working with a fabrication shop to make a bracket for the front to mount a winch. Does anyone know of any aftermarket winches and brackets being offered for the H3?
While I was under the front end, I noticed two of the front skid plate bolts were loose. I put some Loctite on them and torqued them back in at 85 ft-lbs. I've heard of others on this forum with the same problem. I'm not sure if this problem is vibrational or a manufacturing glitch. Check your front skid plate bolts!
5,000 miles on the odometer today and not a single problem with the H3, except for this minor skid plate deal.
Does anyone else loose the signal on their XXM satellite radio when driving under trees or behind hills? Is this just a problem in my hilly, forested area?

Thanks, I am taking your advise.. Adventure pack it will be, and that way, I can go any where I want to Go Period!!! I actually got best of both worlds, my H3 will have the Lux package on the inside and the Adventure pack on the outside, It took me over 2 1/2 hrs to decide. Thanks, jk1165

Here is a copy of a post in the almost dead Edmunds forum on the H3:

impressions of one month with a H3 by onthebeach Jun 27, 2005 (10:05 pm)
Reply | E-mail Msg
I've had my H3 for a month. I really like it but: there is very little storage space. None under any seats, almost none in the front doors and none in the back doors. The pockets in the back of the front seats are useless because when you fold the back seats, they crush right up to the front seats (unless you are short and can move the seats way up). The back seats do not fold flat. The blind spots are pretty bad. I already backed mine into a pole. Going about 1 mile per hour. After hitting it, I looked again, drove forward 6-8 feet and looked again, could NOT see the pole in any mirror. Hit right at the corner and did $936. worth of damage. Other than that, it's the coolest vehicle I ever had. GB

Hey went to H dealer this morning, So My delivery, the H3 Black with Crome Pack, and did test driving on both Adventure Pack and Lux.
My thoughts where that the Lux Pack was a very smooth ride, but I decided on the Rough and tumble feel of the Adventure Pack with awsome 33" Tires and suspension Pack. I am picking it up this evening, Color:bolder Grey. Any last words of advise, Please advise before I sign on the dotted line....... Thanks,jk1165

Sorry that you guys are having this problem. I will let a few people know that this is taking place. One question is which bolts are loose? Are they the ones between the 2 skid plates? If it is between the 2 , I think I have a clue.
