Firstly Thank you for ading me to your group 
We bought our H3 Luxury Hummer in 2008 and Have loved it ever since. You know you have the right car when you have to have one last look back as you walk away. My wife drove the H3 for the first 4 years and it never saw the dirt and was kept gleaming at all times though it was never her that washed it lol. I been driving it now for the last three years and have slowly transformed it from a gleaming show pony with 24" wheels to an off road beast. You can see plenty of pics and video's on my Facebook page if you like "H3 Hummer Aussie Adventures" I will slowly ad some here over time but there are plenty to see the H3 in action in the Aussie bush. Anyway even in stock form the H3 surprised me in just how capable it was off road, with the cracks in its armor only showing up with what most would call extreme off road. It was only then that I discovered just how week the front end of the H3 is. Blown front diff and 3 CV's later I'm still giving it one more chance before changing to a solid axle front. I've given the diff centre every chance with a total rebuild including solid spacers cryo frozen ring and pinion and ARB air locker. As we speak I'm doing a 1.5" diff drop to see if this helps the angle at full droop as I don't think the 3" lift and 35mm extra travel in the shock length help them very much (my Bad). I find the little i5 3.7 to be more than enough to get the 3 moving, however as i can't help myself we did a remap after some other mods and I was surprised to see over 200HP at all four wheels on the dyno, even though we were running 35" KM2 Mud tyres, not bad for a little 3.7ltr. That said If it turns out that I need to do a solid axle conversion in order to get a reliable off road set up then I will do a LS3 conversion at the same time to help with towing our camper. again the i5 tows it without too much trouble but it does slow on hills a fair bit so the LS3 should take care of that problem. I'm enjoying seeing all your trucks and wish that there were as many here. Unfortunately of the few hummers here in Australia not many of there owners are prepared to get them dirty. In fact in all my trips I'm yet to see another one on the tracks
Smiles per miles
