I like the way the H3 incorporates the TCS and StabiliTrak, too. When I'm driving in slippery or weird conditions on the road, it's great. It's also great to be able to defeat the TCS and StabiliTrak when we want.
You're right - if the locker was engaged at high speed or on a hard surface, it would cause damage. This is the reason the engineers/attorneys put the low range only, under 20mph locker actuation rule into our H3s.
I'm the Editor-in-Chief of Off-Road magazine and have driven about everything that's come down the pike. I'm frustrated with all the safety features that are being forced on us, being the crotchety guy I am. The other side of the coin is the H3 is one of (maybe one of the two best) out-of-the-showroom off-road vehicles ever offered to the public. That's why I chose to buy one for my very own.
Now, if I can get that E-Locker to engage in high range . . .
