RE: South African H3. What an embarrasment.
Do you guys know of any differences between the US made H3 verse the South Africa H3?
We are getting the SA H3 and so far I noticed the SA H3 Adventure only gets 32" tyres not 33" like the US.

Other things such as trade agreements and exportation might put a limit on some components such as the tires. However, the stock tires are no good anyways; I would even replace the adventurer’s tires.

I lived in SA as a kid/ young man from the US from '68 to '79. The smartass comments from countrymen that built NO cars of pure SA design used to tick me off. If they are so keen on English cars, let them scour the road sides and junk yards for the broke down POS cars. We brought a '68 Pontiac Lemans over there and owned a few English sourced models, they were unrelaible junk! When they start building their own cars and not assembling someones else's, then they have something to say, otherwise, those smartass Gen Xer's need to STFU!

Hi All
I am a South Africa and live in South Africa, Just to put things staight aboutEnglishcars, land Rover here in my country has a reputation of being exremely unreliable in saying that there spare parts are found throughout Africa which makessome what popular.However the majority of offroaders in South Africa are very keen onJapenese Cars [Mainly Nissan and Toyota]as these have proved themselves over and over in some very harsh african conditions as real work horses and there spares are also found thoughout Africa, I think the reputation the H3 is getting here is that of a "pose" 4x4 as many people here are "blinging" there H3's and not a "real" 4x4that has stood the test of time like Toyota and Nissan has.
In saying that I have owned numerous Nissan vehicles [Unfortunatley no Toyota] and I must say from a 4X4 capability point of view the Hummer is TOPS... imho
However I have not had my Hummer long enough to comment on reliability as My Nissan Vehicles did hundreds of Kilometer's in rough terain!
I just wish the guys here would stop with all the chrome and make the H3 look like what's its really built for!!
