Cant believe H3s are 10 years old....

[06 H3]

So the first batch of H3s are around ten years old...I cant believe time went by so fast.

Bebe, Neo, Cbetts, Poncho, who else out there still has their 1st owner H3? 10 years already!!!

Squeaky has been in the family since day 1. Rolled off the line June 8th 2005. Purchased July 19th 2005. Sat at the dealer till we moved to California August 1st 2005. Picked up August 2nd 2005. Remember going to basketball games, lacrosse games and soccer games as little kid with the H3. Loved cruising around in the back seat but I remember being bummed we didnt have the chrome door handles!!!!



Mall crawled till October 17th 2008. Who would of ever guessed a little baby H3 that rolled off the lot, with clean paint open diffs some street looking 32in tires would be what it is today.

Met a lot of cool people through the Hummer lifestyle. I will never forget my first outing with the socal crew at LCC with Craig, scooter, some unfriendly dude in a white H2.... :mock:

My first moab trip. the list goes on... Had a ton of good times! cheers to another 10 everyone!

Wonder who that was? Gotta be Twin! Only other person I know whith a Olympic White H2. No Birch White here, never existed from GM haha

True i can only wonder how H1 feel when even after 25+ years their trucks look like haven't age. And have held on to their "cool"
Look.
And so far all the people I met in the forum and ran trails with as cool as hell...

No 06 but we still have our 08 H3 which I was told was the first H3 Alpha Adventure delivered to SoCal. While only the second owner of my 92 the old girl will be turning 24 soon and still going strong on the original motor and tranny. Not bad, not bad at all.

 

[3Hummers]

Interestingly our 08 H3 has far more miles on it than the 92 H1.

 

[CaseyS]

Original owner here. Picked mine up memorial day weekend in 06. I think it has a 11/05 build date.

I'm in the same boat as 06h3. Mine has morphed a bit since 2006.

I'm amazed they're still bringing more than $5,000 on the used market. I would have thought by now they would be sitting in front yards everywhere (not running, CELs-galore, busted axles, busted t-cases). I predict in the next year or so...the wheat is going to get separated from the chaff. Most H3's are approaching the "big costly repair" phase in terms of mileage and age. You'll either love your H3 and do whatever it takes to keep it running...or you'll stick a sign on it and get whatever you can for it. There will be no middle ground.

New Hummer slogan: Priceless to gear-heads. Worthless to everyone else.

Bought mine in April 06. 9 years goes quick

Half way down the truck on the passenger side. My sticker is getting harder to read and I'm in CA. I'm sure an east coast h3 has had their sticker destroyed years ago

There are some around that are getting close. I bought my '06 last year for $7000. 1 owner, well maintained. Nothing really wrong with it. High miles but drove it home 4-1/2 hours and drove it daily until some yahoo cut the front suspension off of it.

 

[cbetts]

I ordered mine on April 3rd, 2006 and picked it up on June 7th. Looks like I have another year to go until I celebrate a decade.





Seems weird to see pics of it back when it was stock.

Got our first H3 in Sept '05. I have to thank the Jeep dealer for pissing me off so bad that I walked out of negotiating for a new Sahara and drove past the Hummer dealer. Saw a green H3 Adventure sitting there; never saw one before. I was in love. Two hours later, we drove it home. Kept it for over seven 100% trouble free years, and replaced it with a 2010 Wrangler JK. Four months later we'd had it with that POS fossil and traded for our H3T Alpha, which I plan to keep for a loooong time.

I believe clean, low mileage H3s; increasingly scarce; will become special interest vehicles as most daily driver H3s are driven 'til worn out and end up in a junk yard. H3Ts are already headed for collectible status; selling for high premiums compared to other pick-ups of similar age and MSRP. I know how many "future classics" I let slip through my fingers over the years; not gonna make that mistake again.

Mines got a production date of 04/19/2005... Family bought it with 40-some thousand on it back in 2009 (Mom was 2nd owner and I'm 3rd owner) and now I've pushed it to 162,600 miles and starting to throw engine codes and runs old and tired but still love it, even if it takes all my money.

 

[Hayden]

Not quite 10 yet. 2nd owner, 1st being my grandma [emoji38]. Almost 115k miles. The latter half of those miles a lot harder than the first. When the i5 finally quits it'll be a project (most likely a Cummins)

 

[Panzer07]

Hehehe being that I bought mine when I lived in New York and the truck was sprayed with undercarriage protective anti-rust thing...my sticker has covered with it...but I know I have an early 07 model since I still have the 06 style driver and pass he side doors panels with the weird window controls.

My first Hummer H3 (2006 model) hit 98k miles on it and all hell broke on it. Engine, trans, transfer case etc. $22k plus in work and long story short the warranty company purchased it back from me for what I paid. I then purchased a 2007 Hummer h3 with 31k miles on it and was mint without any rust anywhere on it. I have put close to $13k into upgrades now and everything works perfectly. I cannot believe GM will not put this brand back into production after Jeep is making more money than they could ask for with no competition.

 

[amrg]

Bought my 2006 I5 back in 08, had approx 800 miles on the odo. Original owner had it stored for two years. Now I drive an 09 alpha that I bought in 2012, wife is driving the I5.
Have 85K miles on both trucks.

UGHHH those suck so much, they always get filled with mud when it flys in the window

That's why you keep your windows up lol. However now with my window wind deflectors I might now have to worry about that

Mine rolled off the dealer's lot in Dec 06, I'm just a couple months from the born on date.

There, fixed it!
