I've only seen two FJs off road and they weren't doing anything very challenging. I know people who wheel with some FJ guys and they have generally positive things to say. A Jeep Rubicon is a very good off road vehicle. Having lockers gives it an advantage over non-Alpha H3s. The Alphas have rear lockers which will get you through most situations. After taking our H3 Alpha off road for the first time I have to say that I am very impressed with it and how it would compare to the Rubi. Tires and driver make a big difference but I would play follow the leader with a Rubi in the Alpha. There  are many threads on this if you want to use the search function.

Wow you can get a million different answers on this. It all depends on exactly what it is you want to do in the vehicle and many other factors (driver, situations,tires, etc). I came from another line of vehicles and still am partial to them also.  I will say this and this is just about as factual as you can be. If you have not noticed, since I been here, I am usually lets say am nonconfrontational but today I dont feel it. I have owned many vehicles and have experience off roading that I think I know a tad. For pure off roading I think out of the three the Rubi has it covered. Doenst mean it blows the others away it means for going out and overall off roading I would go with it.  It also deosnt mean that it cant or wont be beat in different portions either.  But like I use to say to people when I wheeled another brand. 90 percent of the people that own these vehicles probably will never use them to their full capablility. That does not mean on this forum because obviously people here do wheel and use their vehicles. It means your average consumer. So under that premise I would get the Hummer by far, no comparison. I have wheeled and owned many vehicles, two on your list and others and they all are sort of comparible in one way.   I really have not used my Hummer to its capabilities. I like the room, the ride, the sound and othere creature comforts the Rubi doesnt have. The FJ, I am sure if you went to one of their forums they would show you all this stuff to say the FJ is the best. I actually only wheeled once with a FJ and it did fine.  Same as Rubi owners and other brands. People are passionate about their vehicles and this is a HUMMER FORUM, so you are going to get HUMMER answers. And I would suggest if somone feels different they go to appropriate forum. So to answer your question I am fine with my H3 and one other opinion that seems to be probably never agreed with. Lockers are great and mean a ton but anyone that has ever wheeled hard before can also state that lockers are not the cure all and the everything. Because a vehicle is locked doesnt mean its going to out perform me.  There are times lockers mean nothing.  Like I heard a knowledgable member say here before, sometimes you dont need the viagra.
