The 2009 H3 with the adventure package, you can lock the front and rear differentials.
 
So, if you got the regular H3, then you can install an aftermarket front and rear lockers that will function exactly the same like an adventure package equipped H3 from the factory ?

You can go to a dealer and buy the full assembly from GM $$$$$, go to Eaton buy just the E-locker then a diff rebuild kit, OR buy an ARB air locker which requires an on-board air system to engage which is another option and can get pricey once you get into an On-board air system.

I don't think it would be exactly the same; I don't think that the non-adventure/non-alpha got cast iron differentials

As far as I understood after 2008 across the board was a cast iron diff with or without lockers.

It's on the to do list with the locker. Right now, she's just enjoying every minute of it. I will be replacing the tensioner pulley, air filter with K&N, inner/outer tie-rods with Moog, steering rack reinforcement kit and front diff bushing kit from <a href="http://www.outfitterdesign.com/hummer-h ... >Outfitter Design</a> and alignment. Oil change with synthetic, clean MAF sensor and throttle body and service the brakes. Waiting for the right buyer for the tires/rim so i could add the funds for a set of mud tires.
