Hummer H3

[Niel]

One of my colleague’s just bought the H3. Very nice looking vehicle. I am wondering why they would have these huge recovery shackles/point on the front and rear bumpers. I can only assume it is for the Toy's to recover them.

[Family_Dog]

Funny how a H3 does nothing for me. I think it's UGLY!

I'm glad I don't like them, saves me money when I get "the itch"

I am not big fan either.

[pietpetoors]

Same here. No real desire to own one. If I get one for free I can always sell it and do a SFA and Lexus conversion on my Hilux.

[hilex08]

nah...i consider it a yuppy thing......

rather push my lux than drive one of those :| :|

I see this months SA4X4 features one on the front page. Saw a white one today and it looked like a jail cell or an armoured car.

Het jy gesien wat Hammer in SA4x4 uitsleep? 'n Toyota

[Niel]

Being in P.E. were the hummers are located before being shipped and during testing I have got to see lots of them including driving one belonging to Delta were a friend and one of my ex techs works now I must say it goes well and so on but it is butt ugly and not very good for serious off road as it is to big and I have heard of lots of breakages

Thanks Riaan for sending me this one.

It's a "TOYOTA-PLEASURE," Bennie!

Niel, you must show this one to your colleague

[Niel]

Yes I will and let you know

Verlede naweek het ons 'n 4x4 dag gehad op Kathula net buite Upington. Die Hummer van ons Delta handelaar was daar en het baie goed gedoen in die algemeen. Die drywer het egter op een plek sleg op 'n duin gestop (uit die roete)en het die Hummer laat hang op sy pens en vasgespin. Hy moes van die duin af gesleep word . Jy kon natuurlik nou die aanmerkings mos nou hoor van alle kante af toe dit gebeur.
Verder dink ek, ek sal goed lyk agter die stuur van 'n Hummer.

Driver error.

Lyk my dis nogals n goeie off roader.

Ek hou van hom, maar sal te jammer wees om so wa te gebruik in die veld.

Toyota bly baas :!:

Jy hou dus van daai klein vensterkie gevoel :|

[Knersus]

Ek laaik die butch look van die Hummer. 8) Ek worry nie oor die klein vensters nie. Ek sal maar die arm binne hou en nie die deur toeknyp nie

Gister vertel 'n vriend my dat hy dink alle ouens wat Hummer ry het klein *vensterkies* en wil net aandag trek. Wel ek het nie saamgestem nie want ek dink dit was slegs jaloersgeit.

Wel ek ry eerder met klein vensters voordat ek 'n Land Rover ry wat se deur teen die stuur is en dan pas ek ook boonop nie in die ding nie.

[Niel]

Ek neem aan dit is persoonlike smaak maar ek stem saam oor die LD.

hehehe Toyota to the rescue

Had a demo at our club 2 weeks ago, and I eventlually stripped my m@&r for the sales person. Told everybody that the H3 is the best 4x4 in the world. When I asked her on what she based it, "because it's a scaled down version of the Humvee". What utter crap. When some guys took it for a test drive and commented that it's swaying excessively, she said it's because of the stability control, and it's impossible to roll it. I eventually left before I started to get abusive.

The H3 actually has old technology (nearly as old as a SFA Hilux), leave springs in the back and torsion bars in front. Very soft body, small all round, but I guess it will appeal to the yuppie crowd.

Cheers,

Chris (Yeah, I know I may not slam other brands, but this is ridiculous)

Ek is baie nou involved met die electonic testing van die H3 van die begin af en ek dink die beste deel van die H3 is sy enjin. 3.7l 180kW en hulle begin binnekort met 'n V8! Die H3 met die difflock opsie is ook heel capable offroad. Dis omtrent my enigste goeie comments oor die voertuig wat verseker nader is aan 'n Isuzu as aan die oorspronklike H1.

[Jurgen]

En oja... Ek dink met traction control kan my ma selfs daai ding offroad bestuur... electronic aids is nie vir my nie... eintlik is enige aids nie vir my nie lol

[Niel]

electronic aids is nie vir my nie... eintlik is enige aids nie vir my nie lol

Is dit nou fyn humor of wat goeie een Jurgen :!:

OEPS??? :o

Hi guys

I work on the H3, they not all that bad. My personal feel is that the wheels are far to small giving it a longer wheel base.
I think they are under power for the 5 cyl engine and a real gallon gusler, if you give it a bit of lift and 33" plus tyres and a monster V8 engine it should do the job just fine, think the drive train might take a hammering though. Heard that the front prop is not that strong to take the pounding that we give our TOYOTA'S. The body on the other hand is pretty strong saw an e-mail of one that was rolled, the guy said that if he was in his other car it would have been tickets for him, the H3 was a right off but stayed intact.

I still prefer my good old HILUX that has not left me standing on the side of the road like a few Land Rovers that I have seen.

[legend35]

Ek verkies ook nog my hilux ,maar sal nie mind vir n hammer nie want hy kan groter sypaadjies klim as die ML en die X5.

As ek dit regkry om die foto te laai, hier is 2 fotos van 'n hummer wat ek op die net gekry het.
