I wanted it because that was the only way to get an Alpha without leather.
Other than the hood decal, flares, redshocks and ??? what else made it a CE? Were the wheels on some black? I have not found my list of that, yet.

Championship Editions had...
- Exclusive Ultra Silver Metallic Color
- Hood Decal
- Painted To Match Grille
- Brush Guard
- Red Calipers & Shocks
- Fender Flares
- 5.3L V8
- Off Road / Adventure Package
- Under Carage Protection

The reason (at least main reason), I would want a CE over Alpha is for the same reason you posted...To get a cloth interior, although some were upgraded to leather.

CE are nice looking trucks. Question, do the CE's with the 5.3 not have Alpha badging? The one on the link on post #2 does not but the ad is indicating that it is. Just curious.

They all came standard with fender flares (like the E&G), and CE badging -- I don't believe any of them came from factory with black wheels. Other than that, I think you got the rest.

No Alpha badges on the CE because its not truly an Alpha package. Some people have added the Alpha badges on the back door though.

Thanks for all of the input. I actually found the one in NE the other day and e-mailed the guy a few questions. Does anyone live in or near Omaha that might have some time to take a look at it? Or if anyone has advice on buying a vehicle sight unseen please feel free to post it.

I must have been thinking of the Tactical I saw when I mentioned the black wheels. Either that or it was just one of Sewell's custom jobs.

If its a 2007, it could be a tactical edition (black, painted to match grille, brush guard) but the wheels and tires are not Tactical Edition. The tires would be P265/75R16 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S instead of the LT285/75R16 Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S. The wheels are simulated beadlocks done by G.T. Inc.

Like I said, its possible its a Tactical Edition and they just swapped out the wheels and tires (then added the E&G fender flares, OEM Off Road Lights, and etc) but its possible they added the black grille and brush guard also to look like a Tactical Edition.

Tactical Editions were only available in 2007 in Victory Red, Black, and Boulder Gray. They had gloss black 7 spoke wheels (the ones previously only available in chrome), color matching grille, brush guard, and spare tire cover. Also, you could not get a Tactical Edition with the Adventure package.

Brodie, thank you for the links. We are looking into the one in the second link - it has less miles and a clean car fax report - but, take a loook at this poor rig - it's a cross betwen a H3 CE and H3X - must be world's only H3X with the offroad package or the only CE with the H3X package ever made - I am really confused about this one, but I'm interested in it because after you take all the crap off of it, you'd have a nice low-mileage CE. If we end up with it, I will be having one hell of a garage sale to get rid of all the stripped off after-market pieces and all the chrome. Any comments about how this freak of HUMMER could have come into being?

Any H4O member out near Gainesville who might be willing to go out & check this out for us and just verify that it does in fact exist? I'll pay for your gas and time.

It had to of started life out as a Championship Edition because you can not get the X Package with the Adventure / Off Road Package (not to mention you can still see the UCP). My guess is someone added the brush guard, wheels/tires, spare tire cover and badges off an X. That is the ugliest thing I have seen in a long time and I wouldn't want to touch it, who knows how bad it has been cobbed. The price is pretty high also, not like its worth anymore with all that crap on there. Just my 2 cents...

CE's actually show up as Alpha's per the VIN (look at the Carfax on the first one posted in this thread). I traded mine in a year ago, went 7 months without an H3 and finally replaced it (with number 4) in May.

It may show up as an Alpha via Carfax or etc because the Alpha and CE have the same 5.3L engine winch has a vin digit of L vs E on the I5.
