This RARE V8 Off-Roader Changed My Mind on Hummers!

After finding out about the Hummer H3 Alpha and owning it for over 6 months, I've decided it's one of the best purchases I've ever made... and here's everything I have to say about it!

[@Zorbii]

My entire life, Hummers have been a weird vehicle to consider owning, but now that I have one.... I LOVE IT! 😁 What do you think about the new channel vehicle and the plans for it?? Let me know in the comments!

[@DOITWITHDAN]

I love that thing LOL

[@Zorbii]

Same! You’ll have to come along for some trail rides in the future 👍🏼

[@RuToClose]

Put on some smaller rims and PUMP that monster truck Scion up and show us what it's got!

[@RuToClose]

@@ZorbiiYou have to get him to do it in the Scion. One time. I will take the blame for poor reception of the video.

[@robertnunez6314]

I have an H3 Alpha and absolutely love that thing. It’s my daily driver.

[@ramondmelton13]

Same here. I have a 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha and I love it!!!!!

[@silvestrerodriguez8637]

Hope all is well with you buddie ! Love seeing you in Gavin’s videos and your own as well! But don’t forget about us! 💯💪 stay safe homie

[@Rustyy5.0]

Love the editing style with the voice overs. Really looking forward to the future videos and the trails you will send the hummer through next.

[@Zorbii]

Thank you! I really tried my best to make some original content out of this so it didn’t feel like a repeat. I’m also really looking forward to putting the Hummer through more obstacles too!

[@oscmlg]

What if you consider previously to the lockers, and cam the engine just to fix it correctly? :D Nice vid, but as a Hummer h3 Alpha owner I can tell you that your brakes were not fixed right the second time you were offroading. The ABS light was On, that would turn off the traction control that is AWESOME on Hummers. You need to fix correctly the brakes + traction control system (check your rear brake lights in order to test if they work), if not then the brake pedal switch its shot and the traction control would not work too. Please always remember that first rule doing anything with a truck/car, its to have it correctly serviced!

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Great information. Drove my first Hummer in 1987 while working with Uncle Sam.

[@mikehunt8247]

Dunno if your just taking a break or something but i just hope you keep posting videos to your own channel n keep moving forward. Your work on the 6 channel was always able to brighten my shitty days your editing style and humor is something i hope i continue to see cause it did alot for me over the years ❤

[@Zorbii]

I plan on uploading more! I’ve honestly been busy focusing on my new job and also taking care of some things in my personal life. So far it’s been a pleasant break from things too.

[@mikehunt8247]

@@Zorbii first of all. Thank you for taking time outta your busy schedule to reply to Me. Means alot actually. Take your time the real fans will be waiting here for you when the time is right. Righting wrongs in your personal life when you have the time only makes sense. Like I said we will be here when your ready man. In the meantime thanks for everything you do. Keep truckin

[@JTube571]

Props to you for going unique and different. Toyotas are a dime a dozen and Jeeps are the easy button. Don't see too many of these newer Hummers out on the trails.

[@Zorbii]

That’s exactly why I chose the Hummer! Wanted to see what something a little different could do on the trails. Plus, who doesn’t love an underdog?

[@WestGeorgiaAirCooled]

Awesome job on this video Danny! We have been watching your content for years through Gavin’s videos, but it is awesome to see you take risks and try something different for your own style! I watched it all the way through, even the stuff I had already seen before. Good job dude!

[@Zorbii]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I really tried to make this a much different video than the ones we uploaded to Gavin’s channel. I think it turned out pretty solid for a Hummer Introduction on the channel!

[@WestGeorgiaAirCooled]

@@Zorbii you definitely succeeded! I look forward to what you can come up with for some future content. And having a video of GA summer time brought on some nice feelings with how cold and bleak it has been here lately.

[@jordancoker6562]

Good for you Daniel the over lander idea is spot on 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@Zorbii]

I was thinking so too! Should make for a pretty nice setup once I get into it.

[@Kx_lgm]

I love when u post because your videos are great. I hope u are doing well and can achieve your goals.

[@Zorbii]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 I’m doing pretty well lately and working on my goals one day at a time.

[@DesperadoGarageOfficial]

We need 3.73 rear gears and lockers for her next for sure and that winch. Cams I know one that would wake that thing up and I know someone through Cleetus McFarland that I can reach out for ya. I have one in the suburban and it is a monster now. So Daniel stay in touch and we will get er ripping. Keep up the great work as always.

[@Zorbii]

What cam? The Alpha also comes with 4.10 in the rear too

[@mikelancaster8664]

Can't wait to see the changes bro

[@bradyanthony50]

Would love too see an update on how your doing love your z build man

[@Basshead2101]

Yessir. Glad to see you posting! Hopefully more regularly scheduled videos?

[@Zorbii]

Trying to be somewhat regular again!

[@andrewtaeuffer4194]

With no lockers you might have well taken a 5500 pound minivan to the mountains. I have an H3 with the rear locker and I never understand the guys that would rather have the H3 Alpha with no lockers VS the H3 with the 5 cylinder and lockers. Mine is the most reliable vehicle I've owned and has never let me down. With yours it's just a game of how long until you break something

[@Zorbii]

I understand where you’re coming from and I don’t disagree, but I got the Alpha with lockers being a future upgrade in mind. I wasn’t expecting it to be the best thing right out of the box.

[@xtsm_ketchupx2055]

I love this car! Chonks is the perfect name!!

[@BADZ71]

Glad to see you in an H3. I have the five cylinder, definitely wish I could have found an alpha. People give them a lot of hate, but really no reason to

[@Zorbii]

I really love the alpha, even with the open differentials. I think the V8 makes up for it.

[@AspirinHex]

i was kinda eh about it first but you really sold it, now plssss tint that chrome or smth cuz MA EYEEEEES!

[@Zorbii]

Same. I had mixed feelings at first. Also going to black out this thing asap too.

[@AspirinHex]

@@Zorbii respect

[@shardfolf276]

this is incredibly different, its nice to see Daniel being happy, i cant wait to see more content from him and watch him grow like he helped @itsjusta6 do

[@allaboutmuscle9186]

I have the exact same...plus other Hummers . Welcome to the club.

[@Zorbii]

I must say, I’ve become a fan 😂 thanks for the welcome. Any recommendations for what I should do/expect from this one?

[@Yotespecter]

Hope you’re good bruh ready to see you upload again 👌🏽

[@ManuaLiberty]

Brings me back to my Nissan days. Getcha front and rear airlockers and onboard air and chonk will be a unit 🤘🏻

[@Zorbii]

That’s exactly how I’m feeling. The diff’s are the only thing holding it back now. I’ve been considering some automatic lockers too.

[@xXDarthBagginsXx]

Can see lockers in you future - would make a huge difference. Can't wait to see this one kitted out - have worked on these a bit, had one client who loved his Alpha's (had one as a daily and another kitted for trail running).

[@Zorbii]

It seems like most people who buy one usually buy a 2nd at some point 😂 I might end up with an H3T at some point too. Lockers are going to be one of the sooner mechanical upgrades too 👍🏼

[@Kill4Time255]

@@Zorbii lockers make insane difference , the amount of stuff you can go over is just mind boggling with single upgrade.

[@johnbelveal4775]

​@Zorbii I'm on my 3rd h3. Still yet to get an alpha though. My latest is an 09 adventure ( front and rear lockers andcast iron front diff )

[@harrybutter1286]

make sure to pull the airbag fuse before trial riding, trust me on this, and air down :D

[@mycars1518]

Beautiful hummer 💪🏻

[@m998hmmwv7]

Hummer H3 is good especially with the 5 speed manual transmission. The only thing wrong with the Hummer is usually the owner driver 😂

[@iamjtphoto4851]

Great video! I have a 5cyl. Love it but really wish I'd bought the Alpha. When mine finally dies (pushing 250k miles now) I'll probably search for an Alpha. lol In my backseat driver voice: I honestly think you could have made that climb. Watching the Jeep, his approach was in a better spot - more steep but not as much as a crevasse. Also, a supercharger for the 5.3L Colorado will fit!

[@Zorbii]

He did take a different angle, but I’m not sure I would’ve made it up that side with the diffs either. Either way I’ll be back to try it again at some point!

[@cheezybinglets8719]

Man I miss off-road videos with Gavin 😔

[@7Skyz]

For real, they really had a thing going there. Hoping they can find the time to do more, the off road collabs are perfect.

[@Zorbii]

@7Skyz I don’t think he has any of his off-roaders anymore. But me and Sarah now have 2 to continue off-roading with! I don’t think they’ll be going anywhere for a while.

[@7Skyz]

@@Zorbii Ah that's sad to hear but glad you're still gonna be enjoying it! I'll be hoping to see more content on the Hummer :)

[@DieselGuy-jk3zp]

May I suggest putting some tie rods in it? It looks like you almost snapped them on that one hill

[@Zorbii]

I’ll have to look into it! I’ve heard the h2’s have weak tie rods but I haven’t seen much about the H3’s.

So have you checked out GQ and GU Nissan patrol's ?

[@hennessyviper]

Im probably mistaken but I could have swore the hummer got some kind of forced induction upgrade as a surprise or something could have gotten it mixed up with something else

[@Zorbii]

There was an old supercharger kit for the hummers, but they’ve been discontinued for years. Idk if it would be easier to find one and rebuild it or just do something custom.

put black wheels on this hummer, a metal rear bumper, and a cold air intake on this hummer

[@Zorbii]

I have plans of blacking out all the chrome eventually. It’ll look SICK once it’s done!

[@frostbite1991]

you do NOT want to waste money on a hot air intake that'll just suck water up even quicker. Stock box is capable of handling more air than an NA LH8 could pump out. Only thing that engine needs is AFM delete and a tune.

[@Zorbii]

@frostbite1991 I’ll probably end up with a snorkel and stock airbox combo

Yeah. It was at 12-15psi for these trips 😂 I realize now it could’ve been a bit lower though 🤷🏼‍♂️ next time I’ll try 7-8lbs

Nope 😂 base model performance pack

Hummer are sick. Should of gotten a H2 instead

I was considering an H2 but they are HUGE for taking on tighter trails and super heavy. So far the H3 has been surprisingly agile

[@srt8bean330]

@Zorbii that is true. H2 just look way more mean

[@dmb7280]

Like Nothing Else

[@andrewborden1009]

Alpha owner here. Only reason you couldn’t keep up with the 392 is that you found an Alpha without the Offroad package which includes the 4:1 transfer case and locking rear differential. I have an Offroad Pack; it is unstoppable. Also, you didn’t keep your momentum driving up the rocks or through deep mud. Closest thing to locking the right/left together is similar to Humvee locker engagement by applying light brake application to help prevent freewheel spin & keep traction. Get an ARB air locker or two and swap in the BW4494 transfer case and an aluminum shift fork.

[@blackhornetkig9328]

I like this video

you need learn operate that Hummer

Well it’s 4x4 until you unload the differentials. Then it’s back to 2x4 lol

I’ve only taken it out a few times and it is my first larger off-roader. Any tips?
