      Bobby, That's the way life should be. No fellow human being has true rank over another. It's only perceived/make-believe in my book.
      I was much older than my classmates in college and there was nothing more disappointing than when my 20yo classmate felt like a member of congress deserved better healthcare than he should get. He truly felt like the life of someone in politics was more valuable than his own. I'll never forget that very sad moment. ...Just ignore everything I just wrote. Let's just watch more TFL! Take care.

      The H3 also looks WAY better than the H2. side by side there is actually a difference. the H2 looks shorter and taller whereas the H3 looks like they flattened it. Proportions look better.

    I picked up a championship edition out of Louisiana last year, 82k miles. The VIN will still pop as an ALPHA even though headrest embroidery and exterior badging won't say it. I love it 99% of the time. Other 1% is when I'm at a gas station

    Thats a good looking H3, very tasteful and functional mods. I knew the Alphas had the 5.3 and optional front and rear lockers but didn't know they made a championship edition, more a basic model with the 5.3 and front and rear lockers, seems like the perfect combo. I have an '07 H3 3.7 adventure package with rear locker only. The H3 is a great truck.

    I have 2009 H3 Championship Series in like new condition (just like it came out of the factory). Bought it brand new. I recently detailed it and it is absolutely spotless. Never took it offroad. It came with front and rear locking differential (adventure package), sunroof, chrome package. with added offroading light and Bilstein performance shocks. It is in WAY better condition than what he has. Most people think it is a brand new vehicles and cannot believe me when I tell them it is 2009. It has over 130K on it but you would never be able to tell. Now that I hear all these good comments about it, it makes me appreciate my truck even more. :)

    This is one of my ultimate off road beasts out there in the used market! Unfortunately this particular edition of the H3 is virtually impossible to find. I love the simplicity and fact that it’s not oversized like an H2 or H1. Also can’t beat that ultra proven and super reliable 5.3 V8! Really appreciate that Adam brought this over to TFL to show off this bad boy!!

    Very Nice! It would be cool if GM brings the H3 back and makes the baby duramax a option. Keep the payload up around 1700 to 2000 pounds and it would be the go to option for overlanding in the U.S.

  • @Feintgames
    @Feintgames Před rokem +1

    I love these H3s. If GM came out with it now to compete with the Bronco and Wrangler, it would do well. It was too far ahead of its time and GM tried to position it as a mall crawler with all that chrome crap. This version is how they all should have been.
    Also, the owner really knows his stuff. I'd love to know where he goes wheeling in Michigan. I'm close to there and want to find some good trails.
