    Shall we start the rant about how high gas is now or should we wait until you buy one?

    no sir I dont like it. If I had 55 Grand you bet I would be buying a sports car, I could save some money and get a Durango like I have now (not the new style man those r ugly) and get a sports car, yeah for that price I could get a SUV and a Mustang GT. Ive been in one and they dont offer anything I need in my day to day life. and I cant imagine anything getting less MPG than my 5.9L in my Durango, Im probably responsible for alot of pollution in the gas I waste showing them F-150's who's faster :)

    Then again im Sure a single Nascar race does more than I do in 5 years.

    Hehehhe, no, your thinking different truck. This is the Hummer 3. Its a mid-sized suv, built on the Colorado frame with an inline 5 cylinder. Price tag is to be 30-35. Im in. Difference between this and other so called SUV's is that it will retain Hummers off road capabilities as a first priority.

    Just a suburban with a different shell mounted on top. They're all over near me. Too bad none ever make it off the pavement let alone any real off roading.
     
  7. Major Attitude

    Major Attitude Co-Owner MajorGeeks.Com Staff Member

    Theres not one of those near you. Suburban will be much huger, suburban frame = colorado frame. Its not out and thats the first picture from a few days ago. Where I live, we got 175" of snow a year and go off road.

    my bad


    Yes when you Live Up North SUV's are a grea tthing to have, 4X4 really helps when theres 3 foot of snow on the road and you cant tell where the Curb is, I hate driving cars ever since I got this thing. Its also fun the the parking lot to leave it in rear wheel and do some donuts :)

    Was talking about the last model.

    Its sad here. 99% of suv owners consider off road a gravel driveway, and they'll stay home at the slightest chance of snow.

    Dam they keep getting uglier and uglier.

    congrats on the new ride Tim, should kick the crap out of the Colorado thingy you bought ;).


    I am still holding out for a 2500HD 4x4 extended cab. Gotta get thru this kitchen remodel first lol.

    Hell, I know people that take their BMW places that most SUV owners won't take their grocery getter. Is that sad, or what?

    With an inline 5 that will have a nice and smooth power band, I agree MA when we talk off road 95% of these SUVs are namby pamby wannabe's who dont have the ground clearence to go off road... now if its for the pose factor or school run then the fancy looking SUVs are good.... but if you want brute force then a bit of style goes out of the window for practicality IMO tend to look ugly-ish but thats because they dont have to pretend.. like the Land Rover Defender for example.


    Tempted to get one MA?

    stay home when it snows? thats all them explorer Eddie buer editions and the Trailblazer owners :)

    I love when it snows, theres a big field across the street, lots of fun. Till they started building houses, now I gota watch out for equipment, they built about 5 and its been sitting there for the past year, some big 400,000 homes. Its fun as hell to take a corner really fast in 4x4 and make the whole thing slide sideways with snow flying everywhere. My work car ford taurus cant even driver over there lol.


    Good in city to, went to a drive through and decided we didnt want it and it was all curbed off. Just drive on over instead of having to wait for the 5 cars in front of me.

    I do want one, been waiting for it since I always drive trucks and have been debating a SUV as my hair gets grayer ;) I was hooked going off road in a full size hummer, but it was sooooo ugly (to me) so I waited... H2 came out and just too big outside and too small inside and gas guzzling for me. Also, 50k for a daily driver is nuts to me. To some people thats called a mortgage, you know? :) I think the H3 is just what I wanted, but itll be a while before its out..

    Good, more choices on the lots for me :)

    dude you could get a better car like a sports car though. like for that money you could get a nice Porshe Boxster.

    G.T. R.I.P February 4, 2007. You will be missed.

    But a Boxter is useless when there's over a foot of unplowed snow on the road. 4WD and high ground clearance has a purpose in some parts of the country, whether you get off-road or not.

    Boxster I sat in, it was too small. I smoke em for breakfast:

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/tim/300zx/DCP_1053.JPG

    Updated brakes, exhaust, pass through cats, single piece driveshaft, k&n kit, next up computers and turbo upgrades. Doing roughly 350 hp right now, shooting for 500. Also has a Still front end on it now... I would take new pics, but its all dirty from rain..

  22. Major Attitude

    Major Attitude Co-Owner MajorGeeks.Com Staff Member

    1996, original 51,000 miles. 1 owner who leased it for 2 years in Florida, another bought it for a year and drove it, both normal driving... then it sat.. and sat until it called to me and I got a great price on it. I will have to get some newer pics one of these days. Windows are all blacked out now, the front Stillen clip is amazing.


    Yes, Brembo slotted, drilled, rotors, Axxis brake pads, stock calipers.


    Gotta go help a buddy repo a tractor trailer, back shortly.

    2 - 10" Orion suns, 750 watt amp, Orion coaxials in the rear, orion components in the front, Pioneer DEH-P8600MP deck... Hurts like hell ;) If I can get my new front lights on tommorow, ill get some updated pics, it looks cooler then ever now.. Least I think so, gets a lot of compliments.
     
  38. eric06

    eric06 Sergeant Major

    yeah i bet it does get lots of compliments. its a sweet ride. i am guessing the amp only runs to the 10's? how do those speakers sound? if you run an amp to em they would sound alot clearer, but thats just personal prefrence of having the amp. sweet ride.

    eric
     
  39. Major Attitude

    Kicking plenty of highs as is really, its 50X4, the amps can go until the subs blow, but your correct, they are feeding the subs alone :)

    Freddy Sergeant

    Not dissing, just friendly digs. No need to get all sensitive.


    At least the jeep is wearing a fresh coat of mud. There's nothing sorrier that a 4wd you can see your reflection in.

    The problem with the Gr Ch is that its all plastic. Things have a tendancy to snap off. I found that out the hard way. Its still a good truck tho.
     
  50. Freddy

    Freddy Sergeant

    Sorry about the tires - couldn't tell from the first picture.

    The 4.0 was the best thing Jeep did for that truck. I remember when they came out. It made the truck wicked fast for its size.
