From what I understand, the wind noise is not as common as I thought. Also, I do know they produced Alpha models with adventure or offroad packages. Those models are more rare, but I'd definitely be looking for it. I can also add that the AWD feature is pretty nice on wet or icy roads.

They 100% made alpha with adventure package. If u don't findk one, there are sweet aftermarket kits that'll actually provide more protection than factory. All the adventure or off-road package is, is under body protection and larger tires.

@@mnyhomie and lockers. The most important part of the adventure package.

@@DirtwalkerOutdoors omg most definitely! That's actually the only thing that matters IMO. Also, you can get an alpha with both lockers that is not an adventure package.

@@mnyhomieI really wish people that didn't know would stop claiming what the H3 w/ the Off Road/Adventure package has or doesn't have. The adventure/off road package includes the 4:1 transfer case (rather than 2.64:1), different shocks, and 33" tires (285 rather than 265). Up to 2008, rear locker, 2009 & 2010 got front and rear lockers. The locker(s) AND the 4:1 transfer case are the most important items; the bigger tires can easily be added, although the speedo will be off a bit on the non-adventure model.

How much do u spend on gas a week? Looking to see how this would be for me and every day use. Just for work and I’ll pop out every other weekend but nothing too crazy I don’t plan on driving crazy amount.

I'm feeling ya bud. I'm just about to do my 8 month/6000 mile review.

@@DirtwalkerOutdoors I'll keep an eye out for it! :)

Very cool!

You got the gist.

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Interesting. I actually like the "gunsight" windows, couldn't care less about opening the rear window, and like the look of the hood louvers. WipeNew works wonders on the fading trim, although yours is pretty bad. Oh, and the Alpha (V8) has a normal dipstick.

I actually revived the black in those pillars, heat gun style. It's still looking good. The windows bug me because it's difficult to see the trail or look out and see my front tire.

They are minor complaints simply to have any at all. This H3 is now just under 196,000 and I’m thinking of adding an Alpha to my fleet at the end of this year.

It’s just a common video for KZfaq. Simple as that.

That's good info. I've only had it happen twice, but I'll take your suggestion.

Texas H3 Overland I put electronic spray cleaner inside ignition with the straw it comes with and let it spray until all the dirt and grime comes out... worked for me and less hassle and way cheaper that replacing a part... no hiccups since I have done it, and before it would for it 4 to 5 times a week.

I'm about to buy a second H3 with a sunroof and already studying that problem.

did you fix the leak... I fixed and never had a problem since.

I scrubbed mine with a nylon brush and it's a little better.

I'm still not used to them.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely look into that.

Very cool

It seems to only occur at high wind from just the right angle. I haven't noticed it again for several months.

I don't. I drove it for over three years and had lots of adventures.

Wow. Good thing I don't wash it. Lol

@@DirtwalkerOutdoors Easy fix...install the air lift handles!

I had the Hummer dealer fix the vent on recall .Mine is a 2006.H-3.

Well, those are issues, but I don’t really have them.

I do like the look of the windows, just not the functionality. I’m with you on the seat belt buzzer, but that’s a complaint on most vehicles.

@@DirtwalkerOutdoors I don't know why but none of my seat belt buzzers, door ajar, warning buzzers don't work on my h3. The previous owner disabled them some how.... it would have been nice to have on when I had a low oil pressure light.... I didn't even know until one day I looked down and just saw the light... thankfully it was just the oil pressure sensor that was bad.

@@rizkybiss if the previous owner changed you head unit (radio) they may have not reconnected it properly. Those chimes use the radio speakers for sound.

I can agree to that one. My chrome is about to disappear.

I'm digging it.

I recently posted my 6000 mile review of my H3. You might check it out.

Texas H3 Overland will do! I’ve never owned a Jeep before. I’m a outdoor photographer so I want to be able to get to places my Mini Cooper cannot. Debating a few vehicles. I was thinking of a wrangler, but I also want something I can carry two kayaks or even have a roof tent. Both of which a Jeep would probably not be adequate for. I’ll check out your video thank you

I carry two kayaks on my H3. You can also carry two kayaks or a rooftop tent on a Jeep Wrangler if it's setup correctly. But, you can pickup a good H3 for half the price of the Jeep.

And outdoor photography sounds very cool. That's something I've been looking at getting into!

I am impressed so far.

2007

The Adventure package has a rear Electronic Locker. The button for that is next to the traction control button.

The adventure package also includes skid plates and the low gear transfer case.

Oh I love mine. The purpose of the video is for people researching before they buy an h3.

I'm in west Texas. No rust. I can't imagine dealing with that.

163,000 now

Texas H3 Overland nice. I wish i got the adventure but I could not pass on a smoking deal. I got a 06 luxury with 90k miles. It’s pretty mint. I have not put it on the road yet but plan on bringing it to the shop this weekend and going threw it. My coworker has one since new his is a 09 base. He’s at 120k miles and only minor things needed.

@@vtecbanger3180 the luxury seems fabulous but I'd get it too dirty. Lol. It sounds like you found a keeper. From my study, the H3 can be a real reliable vehicle for many, many miles if cared for. I pulled my throttle body and it was still fairly clean at 158,000 miles. I've been very pleased.

Who would want a Cadillac??

I'm sure you're right.

I don’t have a sunroof…so

For people researching before they buy.

I like the H3 just fine.

@@DirtwalkerOutdoors You understood that?!? lol

I have experience.

@@DirtwalkerOutdoors Well, you are definitely better than me... I just bought a 2007 H3 yesterday. One of my other choices was a 4runner. Your video on why you chose over a Jeep and Toyota was a factor in why I bought it. Thanks Tex. Sub

That's very cool. I'm glad to be of help. I recently posted a 6000 mile review and I'm going to be posting part 2 of that soon. How you liking it?

Thanks!
