wannabeH3- I didn't really put my arm there. If you are use to placing your arm out the window with it rolled down, you may be a little uncomfortable in the vehicle.

O.K. Educate me here guys.

The H2 can be placed in nuetral but it's recommened for flat-bed towing or wheel dolly. Why would this not apply for the H3?

Thanks Paragon. I just browsed through my manual again. This time over the areas I skimmed. Recreational towing allows it in full neutral. I've always wanted the tow option but never really understood until now.

It's still suggested when tow trucks are involved, flat-bed or dolly. I guess mabye it's because tow truck drivers aren't familiar with the rig.

It says in the H3 manual that you should only flat tow it and not to dolly tow the H3 as it will damage the drivetrain componets. To put the transfer case into neutral is like the H2.

Mabye I have the term all wrong. Over here , Dolly Tow is when towing, your front end is suspended(Hooked), and your back end tires are on small trailer wheels so nothing contacts the road. I don't see how that could damage the drive components.

Thanks for the info. I am of Paragons thinking that it has to be set up like the H2. Real transfer cases have neutral. Thanks again.

Zoomed in and enhanced one of Ken's pics. Notice the lines above the buttons linking 4hi - the indicator light - and 4lo. Could not make out the wording under the buttons for you.
