Well I am a long time off roader and have owned everything from Jeeps (blah) to Scouts (woo hoo). I am skeptical about buying a H3 only because it is a new model vehicle, at least the 06 Im looking at, and Im paranoid about new model bugs. What were some major issues you've had? How is the handling off road, mainly snow and sand? How functional is the factory lockers? Overall are you happy with your 06 H3? I will be test driving her tonite. I tried to search these answers with little luck, and I couldn't find a FAQ, so I apologize if this is a repetitive thing around here. I hope to join you all soon in ownership. Cheers!
