Can the Hummer H3 Keep Up at a Jeep Offroad Park? 

I'm still getting used to the proper lines for obstacles, grew up with four wheelers and did trails with full size vehicles a bunch but still way different than having actual large rocks/obstacles

I have an 06 H3 5 speed manual... Hell, the 5 speed manual transmission was the Main factor for me buying this one ! *FJB !*

I found and bought a 2009 H3 Alpha Adventure about a year ago, 85,000 miles. Factory lockers front and rear, factory 4:10 gears, Borg Warner transfer case and has the 5.3 LS motor in it. With magna flow exhaust and tuned on HP tuners its 350 Horse Power or so, Silver Flare metallic in color. I paid $17,000 for it. Its a jeep killer!!

Most important part of four wheeling.. Good seat belts 😂

​@@craighoeme4845I have an 08 h3 alpha adventure and it has a pretty good exhaust on it and its got some chrome fittings on it and it looks so good

I'm not familiar with the Patrol as we we don't have them here in the U.S. so I can't give any thoughts on a comparison but the H3 is definitely plenty capable enough off road for most people.

Yeah I was braking on those climbs but without the locker it just couldn't do it on that one.

Hes talking about BTM, its stands for brake, throttle modulation. By using this technique, it will engage traction on both wheels to help you out of slippery situations. I learned about it on an online forum. Hope this helps, and keep up the great videos! Im currently in a 08 alpha and other than a few electrical anomalies, shes rock solid!

Also, what tires are you running, they look good on the stock rims

I appreciate that offer but I may have something like that sitting new in boxes for an upcoming video

Thank you! Have a great week brother!

It's the most scientific trail rating tool we have 🤣

Yeah I honestly couldn't believe how well it did. I appreciate your suggestions! I have an extra ACDelco CV but gotta do the tie rods at some point before too much more offroading

@@TopLineRacer If you haven't replaced the CV axles before there could be a good chance that they are rusted onto the hub bearing assembly since you got an east coast H3. So if you break a CV offroad it is probably not worth the effort of trying to change it on the trail. If they are not rusted on there a CV axle change typically takes about 1 hour for a trail fix. The company that sells heavy duty tie rods is called Outfitter Design LLC. These are the ones I have and they are great. They are around $400. Unfortunately, this past year they have been super inconsistent with having inventory in stock and they aren't saying anything whether or not they are going to be bringing them back. Some other possible options would be a company called Jeeperf that sells them. Only problem with those is that they are $1200 for a set. You could however, just choose to get the inner tie rod from them and that will be around $600. The reason why these Jeeperf ones are so expensive is that chromoly instead of using thicker steel material. Also, another possible option but I'm not sure, but you might be able to call up a company called Michigan Metal Works and have them make you a set. They currently don't sell them but they showed interest. Those I think would be around $600 but not sure on that 100%. But yeah all this depends if you want to spend the extra money on these or you could just go with the factory 16mm ones and if you break them, you can just swamp them out on the trail. Its honestly not that hard to do. Seen that happen to other H3 owners while I was out on the trail with them.

Still use the topdon multiple times a week. It works best when fully charged but you can jump several cars on full charge. No issues with it.

Yeah it needs a few more manifold bolts 🤣

Yeah it's the back pressure. I'm gonna try to get that fixed up soon and hopefully it helps it out a bit!

How do you fix the exhaust?

I was very impressed

It's a little pricey but pretty well kept up!

💪💪💪

Yep that's pretty much everything h3 I've seen.

The adventure models have a rear locker but the base ones do not. This has the rear locker.

Yes it is! I'm gonna give it another go once I get the locker installed.

Amateurs, it's hard to watch.

They are 315/75/16. The I5 did decent. The transfer case is geared so low that power wasn't really an issue unless I was trying to get a run to go up a hill.

@@TopLineRacer I’ve got a 2008 H3 with the I5. Hesitant to put the 315s on because of the lack of power. Leaning towards the 285s. Everyone I know that has the 315s has the V8. Thanks!

That's an H2.

Nope not at all.

Would love to upgrade to an Alpha someday!

@@TopLineRacer I wanted one, but couldn't find any with low miles. Decided just to get a 2018 Jeep Wrangler.

​@@TopLineRacer I have a 2009, H3 Alpha and love it ! Got it with 96,000 km on it. Had it almost 3 years now, and have only put 6,000 km on it so far. Very smooth ride.

Haha not a myth unfortunately. Not sure of the exact mileage I'm getting but I'm guessing around 15mpg.

Haha yeah they did there for a second.

Missing a couple manifold bolts 🤣

Haha yeah it sounds terrible. It actually has a brand new Chinese cat/manifold on it but it has never sealed well.

Lmfao you must wheel with the rainbow flag crowd or the jeeper mall crawlers of america club. The trails on here are like some of my cities streets where i live lol
