In either lowering your H3 or lifting it. It seems there is always someone on this board that going to trash talk it. When it comes down to it the H3 is not even that great of an offroad vehicle. For the desert I would use a I-beam Ford. For the rocks I would us a Wrangler. My H3 is lifted but I don't see anything wrong with someone lowering it either. It's all about what fits your needs.

Out of the box I think the H3 is one of the better offroad vehicles out there. Many vehicles can be modified to be good or great, but few have the Hummer capabilities from showroom to trail. You may disagree, just my opinion.
So, uh, Rod Hall winning the Baja 1000 in a mostly (running gear wise) stock H3 isn't that great? http://reviews.carreview.com/blog/hummer-h3-alpha-and-h3-first-stock-class-vehicles-to-finish-baja/
DETROIT – Team HUMMER once again demonstrated the inherent off-road capability of the HUMMER H3 as Rod, Josh and Chad Hall piloted their stock class H3 Alpha and H3 nearly 1,300 miles to become the first stock class vehicles to finish the 2007 SCORE International Baja 1000.
The 2007 Baja 1000 marked the 40th anniversary of the grueling off-road race and covered 1,296.39 miles from Ensenada in Baja California to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Baja California Sur. It ran from November 13-15, 2007.
Team HUMMER races in the SCORE International full and mini stock classes which feature production-based vehicles with stock frames, stock suspension designs and production-based engines. With 18 entries, the 2007 race boasted the most stock class vehicles in the history of the 1000 and included models from seven different automakers.

Come on! Thats all about the driver. The Hall family been racing for years and they use to drive Dodges. Those guys would win in Yugo!

well....your call on lowering but for off roading your WAYYYY off...lowering it will KILL your departure and approach angles.
True, in some way. It would depend on what type of offroading you did. Desert trucks are set up to be low but with long travel. A lot of them run at 60-70 % sag in there travel.

Wayne, I'm curious, what would you consider to be superior the the H3 off of the showroom floor for desert or trail rides, not rock crawling? (You already said the Wrangler for rocks and I wouldn't argue that.) I agree you could lift and mod a ford and make it great, but what about a stock vehicle?
And since tone can't come across in an email, I'm just asking, not accusing or calling BS. All friendly like, ya know?
