Default Ice Road

Once talked to a guy at my dealer who had his H2 in ... he claimed he'd run a rental H3 up the Alaska ice road, just to see the scenery. Apparently had quite an adventure, even took the rig off trail here and there to test out its capabilities, his skill. Told me with the locker on and 4Lo he never once had to dig out. Seems to me that about says it all.

Default Buried the H3

We got 26" of snow last week and the bottom 4" was slush. We tried to get out of our driveway using the H3 as a plow and she got buried.Tried everything to get out.4H,4L and the tires just spun.We had to dig it out. Totally unimpressed.

I'm going to guess you're using the OEM tires or something else just as poor for off road and deep snow.

What did you expect?

Tires make a huge difference.
We had record snowfall in CT this year.
I had no trouble going anywhere that I wanted to go.

Well he probably expected, like any big ticket item, for it to work correctly out of the box. Here in Chicago we had a 20 year snowfall of 19 inches in February. My H2 couldn't get out of my alley. Is it worth the money to buy tires that would be capable (maybe) of doing the job? Not for a storm that comes around every couple of decades.
