Hummer H3 For the Hummer driver who wants the rugged look and off road capabilities of the Hummer, but in a smaller size and with a more fuel economy friendly engine.

Any rreason I shouldn't buy this H3?

Including the backwards installed driver's seat headrest lol
Rear locker on an '08 Alpha was an option. Don't have it on mine.

An Alpha does NOT have any locker. An Alpha Off Road adds in the adventure pkg to include the lower ratio T Case plus a locking differential. ** see below** depends on year whether just rear, or front and rear.

2008 Alpha Off Roads came with a locking rear diff. only. 2009-10 Alpha Off Roads came with front and rear locking diffs. That's why I have an 09 Off Road.

Kinda amusing how these things get confused. A few years ago in Ouray, I met a self anointed H3 expert (said he was involved in the H3 project) that swore that the Championship Edition was NOT available with the Lux interior and my rig sitting a few feet from him with Lux interior.
