Only if you got it with the Adventure package, and the front locker only came in the 2009/2010 model years. Mine is a 2008, but the previous owner put in the cast iron front differential with the electric locker in it so I do have both front and rear electronic lockers. They are manually...

Nope, the 5.3L V8 became an option starting in 2008. There just aren't near as many of those as there are the 5 cylinder models, which is why I pushed so hard to get this one even though it meant a half day of flying and 14 hours over two days driving it back. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Some quick updates this morning. Finally took some pictures of stuff I picked up a week or so ago for the Alpha. ARB Twin compressor and related accessories: I have had a compressor from Harbor Freight for years, and while it was a nice little compressor and is still running fine, I wanted...

And now we're current. So I was hoping to be able to just get the outboard bushings from Outfitter Design to replace the stock bushings on the Alpha since it now has the center diff bushing, but they really don't want to sell them to me separate. Since this is an Alpha I would really like to...

(3/4/2018) I finally started the process of stripping all of my mods off the red H3 and transferring them to the Alpha. Yesterday I was able to pull the UCP, OEM rock rails, Thor bumper with winch, roof rack, and pretty much all of the electronics and wiring I had on the front as well as the...

(2/24/2018) Finally got everything cleaned and dried today. Thankfully I was also able to get it all put back together this evening right before some more snow came through. I took some pics but they didn't come out as well as I would have liked, so I'll take some tomorrow when there is more...

(2/23/2018) Just a couple more damp spots in the foam rubber under the carpet that need to finish drying and then I think it will be ready to be reinstalled. Interesting thing to note is that the carpet itself appears to be solid rubber backed so water can't soak down into the foam rubber from...

(2/18/2018) Well, since I had the carpet out I decided to give it a really good cleaning. Vacuumed it really well, sprayed it down with vinegar and let that sit overnight, then some 409 disinfectant cleaner and let that sit for a few hours while I took a nap, then took it outside and hosed it...

(2/17/2018 Note: Previous owner thinks the moisture instead came from when he took this for a dip in a really deep puddle. I'm still going to check on the sunroof drains though to be sure.) It's just as well, the sunroof drains are clogged again it would appear. We had some rain the other day...

(2/17/2018) So today was pretty nice out, so I think to myself that I'll go clean up the interior of the Alpha some more (I spent an hour or so vacuuming on Wednesday already). You know, unbolt the front seats and lay them back so that I can get under them better, wipe down the interior panels...

(2/14/2018 - Note: After this post the previous owner as well as a couple other people let me know that this is normal and to not worry about it. My previous H3 had the 5 cylinder and it was pretty solid with temperatures, hence my concern on this one.) So today I noticed that when I was...

(2/13/2018) Took the Alpha to get the emissions done this morning. Not only was it super quick to get done, but it passed as well!! I'm glad they didn't care about the missing set of second cats, that would have sucked to get them added back on.

(2/12/2018) I was able to swap the axle out tonight. Took me longer than I wanted of course. Not sure why I forgot about all the bits I needed to unbolt in order to be able to swap the axle, but there you go. Seems the tear was a small one in the valley of one of the bellows. After wiping away...

(Since I duplicated my trailer build on here, I figure I'll do the same with my build log for my Alpha. This first post was originally from 2/11/2018) So after a whirlwind of activity to make it happen, within 4 days of whishing I had an Alpha, especially since I am going to start towing a...

Here it is after getting it home: (Edit: I went ahead and duplicated my Alpha's build log here and updated the link in my signature)

And now we're current. I took the offer my company gave me, and since then I also picked up a 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha to replace the red one with (crazy story, short version is a killer deal on the Alpha came up, I was able to swing the extra payment, couple days later I flew to Seattle and...

The axle is in fine shape overall, spindles look good and everything. However, I priced out a whole new 6000 Lb axle with electric brakes and the parking brake option and it'll only cost me just under $400, so I'll probably just replace the whole thing and have better peace of mind. This might...

Took a couple pictures of the bed to show how it looks after pulling out the dumb plywood and dirt and junk that was in it before. Turned out the floor has started to rot away at one of the crossmembers. Just more reasons to scrap the tub and build a new one. I am happy though with my...

(Reposting from another forum so dates are weird) I pulled the wheels off tonight so that I can take them somewhere to get new tires put on. I'm just going to get some decent used tires to put on it for now most likely, right now I just want to get the trailer road worthy and useable. Looks...

So this weekend I picked up what will be the start of an overlanding/camping trailer to pull behind my H3. With myself, my wife, and three growing daughters (currently one is 10, the other two, twins, are 7), camping has turned into an ordeal with barely fitting everything in/on the H3, even...
