Default Re: Rear locker

Just out of curiosity, I called the Hummer service department to ask about installing a locker on the H3? He explained to me until they come out with a factory Kit, the techs wouldn?t even attempt to install a locker because of the fear of something breaking later down the road and them being responsible. Also, he said he has not heard of any factory locker kit even coming out in the future for the H3? So like Bebee said to me.... 35 inch tires, and a good winch should do the trick...

Well after doing some more reseach in my parts catalog it wouldnt be feesable like most of you have pointed out. I guess I will just wait to see if an aftermarket kit becomes available or wait and get the locker when I trade this one in. The 35" tires are already on it and yes they help, but a locking rear makes alot of difference I never even realized how much until now that I dont have it.

Thanks Guys
Tanner

Yep... I wished I would of purchase mine with the locker... Then I have a friend who just purchased the Toyota FJ with the locker and doesn't want to take it off-roading... Then here I sit wanting the damm thing knowing he'll never use his.... agggrrrr... The worst thing is that the sales person never said anything about the adventure model.... But, I should of did way more research.... So no one to blame but me...

Don't lose heart....you will be surprised what you can do without a locker

You still have 4lo lock
You still have Traction Control

You might have to a little better at picking your line in extreme situations, but don't be afraid to get out there.

It is still a kick a$$ truck

Yep.. I like it alot better then the Toyota 4x4 truck and the 4x4 xterra I had prior to the H3..... Hopefully one of these days I can hook up with you guys on one of your off-road adventures...

No locker here and still having a blast. Try SuperSwampers, they're cheaper than lockers and accessories, I think.
