In all honestly I actually like the way h3s look when lifted specially solid axle swapped. I don't see myself buying one, I'd have to have an ungodly amount of disposable income, as it would be for show and not for wheeling...

IMO you shoulda talked your ol lady into a Jeep Commander and kept it in the family... lol

I did the Jeep wave to 5 Jeeps this morning and none responded. :|

But then I passed a hummer and they waved to me and I felt inclined to ignore them. So I did.

You gots to keep the ol lady happy


I seriously looked at an h3 before I got the xj. I loved the look and drivetrain. And the fact I just needed some guards and tires and I was wheeling.

Looking back now I am glad I did not purchase one for what I do. The xj is half the weight(almost) and a lot more powerful. Also the xj has a lot more potential off road. But I imagine your wife does not care about that

WOW! did the price of gas drop dramatically in your area. Let me know how she likes parallel parking it. My wife thinks my XJ looks like a box. I'm sure she wouldn't like a hummer. She is more of a Scion FRS type of gal.

WTF is this!?

Talk about awesome aerodynamics!



Hmm, MR-S looks to be fairly affordable. Maybe the wife needs one of those.

Yes it does. She keeps elbowing me every time that commercial is on. Their a little high priced (the one on the commercial is $27,000) I believe Subaru has the sister car to it, On the market.
