H3 from our eastern rubi run. no rear locker, and the major H3 design flaw were the only problems on the trail. other than a day on the dunes in Pismo, this was their first offroad experience. unfortunately, i think it may be their last, they weren't quite prepared for the trip.

unhappy camper
it was the driver not the truck plus he had 265 on there

 

i'm not sure 35's would have helped on that boulder. the pic was taken with about 6" of rocks piled under the rear tire. they definitely didn't care for all the new trail pinstripes they got that day. but they kept on goin' . . . .

 

Ya the paint on the H3 scratches real easy i think there is one coat on there if that.

 

I don't have any problems with scratches anymore, but at least the spring hanger is somewhat blended into the frame so as to not create a spot for stuff to get stuck in. So far with the abuse I have put mine through, the OEM rock rails are worth thier weight, and so is the optional underbody armor. When I first got it and was putting it on, I thought it looked flimsy and I would be trying to figure out how to remove it once it becomes a pretzel, but it has withheld serious smashes and bashes including almost full vehicle wieght with no complaints.
