Well gents I wanted to say thank you for all the help and insight you all have provided on this forum.
By far the best online community I have been a part of.

I am sadly getting rid of my Hummer after 8 years of fun.
I just needed something a little bigger with more towing capacity etc so I picked up a 2013 Roush Raptor a few weeks ago. :)


It's a nice upgrade but I am deeply saddened to see my 3 go.

I am going to post it for sale here first if anyone wants to pick up another ride or knows of someone that does.

Thanks again for everything.

Here is a pic of the new ride...

(Btw the guys on the Raptor forums are quite different from the crowd here, which is a shame.)

Sad to hear, but that is a sweet truck. Congrats. I wish you could have kept the H3 and got the new truck. Maybe one day you will be back in a Hummer.

Thank you I really like the new truck. I would love to keep the H3, I really loved it for the trails. It's hard to justify though

It's official now, just listed it in the swap meet.

There is something to say about a supercharged 6.2L. Lights the 37s like nothing.

Here are a few more I took today. It's dirty but good luck trying to keep anything clean in Utah during the winter.

By far a much nicer ride! Wow you lucky dog... by the way you don't have to stop posting or leave the community as you have a treasure trove of information to share.

I will probably poke around a bit and hopefully still be able to do a moab run with you since it's so close for me here. If you all will accept a Raptor among the herd...

Thanks I really like the truck. I wasn't sold on the ford at first either. I shopped extensively for a few years now. I have looked at quite literally 1000's of trucks online during that time. Ranging from H2s, SUTs, 2009+ H3 Alphas with the front and rear lockers, Chevy and GMC 2500 and 3500 with the duramax, Ford F150-350 including Raptors, Nissan Titan with the new Cummins engine and others. Locally I have test driven at least 40 vehicles. Half of them other hummers, mainly SUTs and H3 Alphas. My girlfriend will be the first to tell you that she is glad the search is over... :)

After I drove the Raptor and learned all the off road capabilities they had with the addition to the updated technology I started to look hard at them. If you look at the Raptor supplement to the F150 manual you can get an idea what I am talking about. I have had the chance to try the new truck off road and aside from it being less nimble than my H3 I am insanely impressed

I am not a Ford guy but that is a nice looking truck. One question: did you shop around or was your mind set on the Raptor?

Congratulations on the new truck!

Just a little note, i remember when I was researching them on the raptor forums I read that the fox shocks are prone to corrode and get seal leaks causing them to fail. Not sure if the newer ones have the same problem. My suggestion is to keep them clean as much as possible as they are expensive to replace!

Thank you!

Ya it’s all over the forums. They have a few places now that do reubuilds on the shocks so you don’t have to replace them outright. For a set of the new 3.0 shocks they are $3k. Just for the front!! So when the time comes I will be rebuilding mine.
