    In reply to Choose Your Seven Slot Truck: Jeep J8 Or Hummer H3T?
    The funny thing is that if you were comparing Jeep against the H2, you'd be pitting AMC genes against AMC genes.


    But since you're talking about the H3, the conversation is over. Jeep kicks dirt at H3, H3 falls over, Jeep drives away.

    Jeep, but only if I can have the AMC inline 6.


    ...or maybe a ghettocharged slant 6.

    I can not deny the Jeep.


    I don't know who the hell would pick the "Hummer" over that.

    I would choose the J8 because I think I could sell it for more. I don't want to go off road. If all these outdoorsy places are so cool, why haven't they built roads to them yet?

    I'll take the H3T all day long. Because it's better for the pavement, where I would be the vast majority of the time. Its quicker than the Jeep, and modification friendly with the LSx V8 in "Alpha" trim. And I suspect it can hold its own off pavement as well.

    @TTopJohn: Hummer = less capable offroad, which is why you're buying either vehicle in the first place.


    For whatever potential the H3 has (and there is quite a bit), the H3T is too big to exploit it. Additionally, the terrible visibility is a liability both on and offroad.

    I reiterate my previous sentiment: I hate you guys.


    Before it was just because you get all the cool toys. Now it's because you are batshit insane for asking such a pointless question.Seriously. If you are going to ask a hypothetical question at least ask one that makes sense in the context.


    Let's put this in terms most of the slathering hetero males can appreciate. For example, if I were to ask you if you'd rather have Megan Fox or a Plymouth Voyager, what would your response be?


    Amirite? Yes I am. I expect a better post to help make up for this silly question of yours.

    That is probably the most dirt any H3 will ever see. I hope that was washed off quickly. I doubt the paint was meant to take it.

    @TBM-Fan: The J8 has a higher payload and tow rating.


    (H3T wins in payload if we're talking regular Wrangler, though)

    Thanks to Lord Charles of Barrett, all my friends and I have adopted the slogan, "HUMMER: Now everyone will know." It gets trotted out anytime we see one.


    Do you REALLY want everyone to know how small your Captain Happy is?


    Jeep. No question, even with its dubious parentage.

    If I need a vehicle that will provide safe comportment for my family to a back-woods sanctuary in order to wait out the zombie hordes, or for a quick overland trip to Stuckey's, I always choose the Max IV tri-axle!

    @Graverobber: But of these two, Jeep. Definitely Jeep. In 20 years, people will say about the J8 "Hey, cool old Jeep." About the Hummer, they'll say "What kind of Jeep is that?"

    I was going to choose the Hummer to be contrarian, but I have to look myself in the mirror.


    Who wouldn't want a demilitarized Jeep over a shrunken copy of a bad ripoff of a much more badass military vehicle??
