I used to sell jeep. I owned a lifted Land Rover Discovery at the time (caught much UNWARRANTED grief). Kinda like mustang owners that get their ass handed to them every time they line up to a camaro or trans am, yet they continue to talk sh!t. If anyone here thinks that a jeep is superior in ANY way to a HUMMER H3 (H2 or H1), they have never driven the HUMMER and they more than likely are gay or pose at the walmart parking lot with the other posers. apparently, jeep is huge in the gay community, no offense to the gay wheelin homeys

after having my fillings shaken out of my teeth, while on a particular demo drive (2005 Unlimited Rubi) at a rock quarry near the dealership, I decided I could no longer lie to my customers and sought employment elsewhere. The jeep sucks offroad.

HOWEVER!!! I would test drive the new rubi, in hopes that the longer wheelbase may help tone down the ride. it certainly has more promise for my needs than anything jeep has produced in the past. It's certainly better than the FJ as far as I can tell.

$1000 roof racks and $200 shock skid plates are ridiculous and they won't be reasonably priced until we make 'em so.

Thank you! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one on this.

BTW, I took my Garvin - Wilderness Expedition roof rack from a TJ (that you can pick up used for about $300 on any Jeep board) and got some Surco rack mounts for $40 from Summit and now have a killer rack on my H3. Pics to come soon. Gobi and the other bozos wanting a grand for the same same can kiss my brown pahookie!!
