I would love to do some 4 wheeling in the snow but we have not had any here in Texas this year. Its been a very mild winter for us. Do you have 32 or 33 inch tires on your H3 ?

Great pictures, thanks for posting. Good looking H3, and the red Jeep is pretty nice looking too. I can't really find it in my heart to bash Jeeps too much. Like many others here, I'm a former Jeep owner X 3 and still love them. I thought about buying another before I decided on the H3.

Out of my curiosity, what 4wd setting did you have it in to get up the hill?

I found the low range to low for sand or snow wheeling , it requires more wheel speed .
We did try some low range with the locker on and found we were better off in high lock for the days wheeling .
Rock crawling is the only place i see the low range and locker helping . I am seeking the cure for the locker to over ride this system . High range with locker engaged would be optimum i think .
This is done in the Rubicon and can be done with the H3 too im sure .

Great pics grandman.
Hey, I'd fold that mirror in next time and put some chains on. I've been wheeling a zillion times in muck like that, chains are like velcro compared to toughing it out with those tires. Looks like you had a blast. What did the jeepers think of the H3?

AWESOME PICTURES! I agree 100% - Hi Loc for snow is best.

The jeepers are friends , i have not really ran into any negative attitude towards the H3 from jeepers .
Chains , bah kills the challenge http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Yes i should have tucked the mirror in
