I’m mainly a Ford fan but liked the Hummers. General Motors really screwed up killing of Hummer and Pontiac if you ask me. Hummer was the only thing they had to take on Jeep and Pontiac was their sports division that made the more sportier designs of GM cars. If they would have kept those two brands around a few years longer then they would be doing great right now.
Just an awesome looking truck. Ok I’m bias something bad. Why you ask? I have one of the 56 manual transmission they made. I’ve had it since 2014 and it’s a head turner where ever it goes. Great rig and thanks for sharing it.
Badass Build you have there. Bought my 2009 Boulder Gray H3T Base new in 2010. LUV this Truck. Wish I had the cash then for an Alpha but returned a 06 H3 from a lease when the shut down came. Flew from South Bend to Memphis for mine. Fun drive home. Slantback Topper and 35" Daily driver and 78000 mi. Very few recalls also. The quality and comfort of these trucks like the sound deadening insulation. Not like driving a tin can at all. and my new truck cost $30.200. Try to get a new truck for that now with these base model options. Prices are nuts. If ever do lose this I5,,, I will get a V8 Crate motor..
I love my 06 H3. I put a lot of work in it front/rear lockers (stole front diff with lockers from an H3 T with the 3.7), beefier IFS hardware, diff drop, adjustable upper control arms. But I wish I could find the Rancho lift for it. The lucky few have the best mod. I also would love to explore beefing up my IFS front setup and avoid straight axle all together. I would love to see how IFS moves forward in the future. Amazing rigs!
Geez if I had money lol , I own a 2009 h3t alpha with adventure package , fairly stock except for a snorkel I put on , would love to take it up a few notches to get to look like yours lol , but $$$ is a bugger lol
The only reason GM discontinued the Hummer was it's name the name Hummer was synonymous with gas guzzling trucks even though it probably wasn't any thirstier than a suburban a Tahoe or any full size pickup truck in the GM lineup
Not much thirstier than a sequoia or tundra either. But hummer got to be a hated brand. Plenty of h2s were getting vandalized from high gas prices and the war in the Middle East.
No marketing expert, but I truly believe the H3 lineup died because it had an identity crisis. It was not marketed right. Should have been sold as a rubicon killer, not a drug dealer soccer mom car. I own a 2009 H3 and I love it. Will never get rid of it. Best SUV I have ever owned.
Great looking car, unfortunately the gas crisis killed the hummer line, the h3 line up was the best looking, even a 2006 looks better than any jeep wrangler out there, GM dropped the ball not keeping the h3 around and make it better to compete and the H3T is top.
Oversized moon roof actually. And they actually have a concept canvas roof that’s fully retractable from front to back in the suv H3 love mine. Get any H3 you can find parts everywhere get two even you can find cheap ones for under 10k and build from there. So accessorizable, so utlitious, so durable, such a classic tough body, you can even put a v8 or LR3 under the hood... fun fun truck get two! They’ll both be worth $30-50k one day and you can even take off the doors with canvas roof, and so much luxury and space the wrangler, fj cruiser, Tacoma, can’t compete so so so easy to work with
I agree, if Hummer did return, and return with propper built for the people and hoe the people want it. EG Cummins engines and looks. it would sell like hot cakes. espeically if they made a Luxury revised version Like a supercharged 7L V12 or something

I know this is an old video. But why does everybody say the i5 "has problems" and then never name any problems? The answer is, they really don't. No they're not powerful, but they will SOAR past the LS2 5.3 in mileage. They are 400k+ mile engines with normal maintenance and repairs. Can't say the same for the 5.3. Underpowered, yes. Unreliable, not even close.

Right on👍 and $40,000 cheaper
Bring back the Hummer line, GM! I miss my H3; even though it was only the I5; plenty sufficient for non rock crawling use I put it through.
Definitely the best H3 I’ve seen! H3 is so much better looking than an H2!
I always liked the Hummer H3T.

Absolutely digging this awesome right. Huge props to the proud owner for this amazing build.
I had the i5 in my H3 with a 5 speed manual and loved it, wish I hadn't traded it

Problems with the I5? I put 305k miles on my 06 Hummer H3 before it finally went out.
Glad to hear good feedback on the i5. I'm enjoying mine, it does what it's supposed to do.
Host is referring more to the lack of power with the I5 as compared to the 5.3.
I blew 3 holes in my 3.7 i5 after a rod blew but still going strong with the new engine.
I bought my h3 ,2006 with 120 ,xxxx, now is 200,xxx and counting , no problem .
I got the GMC Hummer EV 1st Edition Pre Ordered😁
I bet you’re sad about that now.
Geez if I had money lol , I own a 2009 h3t alpha with adventure package , fairly stock except for a snorkel I put on , would love to take it up a few notches to get to look like yours lol , but $$$ is a bugger lol
This for me is a new h1 model in 2020
The only reason GM discontinued the Hummer was it's name the name Hummer was synonymous with gas guzzling trucks even though it probably wasn't any thirstier than a suburban a Tahoe or any full size pickup truck in the GM lineup
Not much thirstier than a sequoia or tundra either. But hummer got to be a hated brand. Plenty of h2s were getting vandalized from high gas prices and the war in the Middle East.
It was the start of cancel culture.
The true is GM was loosing money on every Hummer sold and after government bailout had to cut out losses to get the free money
H3T is what Gladiator hoped they could be. This thing was well ahead of its time. If only it came in diesel or bigger V8
Gorgeous truck. I love the mods!
I have the 2010 h3t alpha. I traded a 65 shelby cobra with 4k miles for mine. I love my hummer. 1 of 48
Nice, you traded a $400,000 car for an at most $40,000 SUV.
Can't believe people get on here and lie to people that they don't even know.
Obama stucks it could be a 65 Shelby replica which is worth about $40k-60k like the factory five replica for example
I used to take my H1 on that road and offroad track used to be my backyard sure miss it.
H3t alpha is a dream vehicle of mine to do a bucket list trip with to 5 locations
That's the nicest H3 I have ever seen. Not bad. I still prefer my H2 SUT with Fabtech lift and 40" Mickey Thompson Rock Crawlers.
These things are so badass
I want one of these so bad... That price though 🤦♂️ ten years old at best.... Still 30k
There's one in NC that's got 69k miles and they want $26k for it.
Amazing modification...I have one like it and I would like to make some modifications ... but where I live there are no such Custom workshops
Ahead of its time in retrospect
Where can I buy the seat back pocket holder clips for my H3 Alpha ? Instagram or link was not showing on this video
I love the h2 wheels.
What about that winch mount?
Beautiful truck.
Specs on the Rim's to fit with out hitting? offset back space etc?

Buy a used H3T and put a new crate engine in it
how do you get that rancho lift kit or part number for the front?
Great video. 👍
Yeah, GM pretty much gave this segment back to Jeep so it could build Bolts and Chevy Sparks, good job, government motors.
Seems like it’s coming back as electric
Remember to thank Obama.
What's the winch bolted too? :P
Can you link the details to the Rancho Lift he purchased?
I'm thinking of getting one of these truck can someone give me some feed back are the parts easy to get? Thnx in advance
What kind of winch is that? It seems that it fits hidden, inside the regular bumper.
Just needed a solid front axle and maybe the 6l90 trans
I'm not a truck guy but if I was I buy for sure have a H3T
Just a quick correction. The actual crawl ratio was over 50:1.(I don't remember the number off the top of my head)
Hello whats the name of the roofrack?
A very rare hummer
Really wish Rockstar Benny's would give us a Patriot Classic Conversion.
GM bring back the hummer!!!!
They are
I will take that over my Toyota fj all day long
Great looking car, unfortunately the gas crisis killed the hummer line, the h3 line up was the best looking, even a 2006 looks better than any jeep wrangler out there, GM dropped the ball not keeping the h3 around and make it better to compete and the H3T is top.
Did the H3T come with Panoramic roof? Or was that just the camera angle?

They made close to 5000 of these
H3T should have been a Truck/SUV like the Avalanche
Is this for sell
Miss mine 😢 just sold to sinaloa cartel
They forced You?
I want a deal for this car
Is their anyone that makes a 2-3" lift kit for this...?
🔥🔥🔥👍

And it’s for sale now…..$40k 😭 I just can’t justify it and I have 4 vehicles right now. Someone go grab her…and never let go lol
I wanna buy one of these but they’re so dang expensive and the mpg sucks!
If you are putting all that money into it, do something with those hokey fake snorkles! Make them cold air intakes, or fill in the space.
This tire should be 37'', right? ?

Hummer h1 better that h2 and h3
Sad GM scrapped Hummer.
Keep the body and make an updated interior. It does need to come back.
That makes u look like you own 3 woman 🤨🤨👌🏽
????
Gm should of ditched the gmc brand and kept the hummer instead
Wtf how tall are you????? Considering how tall those trucks are, and you towering over it gives me weird feelings
no dealership no custumer support that's suck and you think it is a better vehicle dang
any GMC or Cadillac dealership provide cstomer support and service
