Default D-rings on an H3?

I was at the Jeep dealership yesterday and they have an H3 that looks to be a trde in. For a while I have been noticing that they have 3 d-rings on them and are never mising or stolen.

I was looking at this one and saw that they have a nice size bolt and nut holding them in. On a trail, stuck in the mud someone would have to use a wrench to get it off?

Am I missing something here? Is the H3 designed to be more of a poser? I know that many Hummers and Jeeps may not ever see the trail (excluding Wranglers).

BTW, before people attack me, I am not trying to bash the Hummers, just more curious than anything.

Any other questions?

Why would you want to take the D-ring off?

Most Wranglers will never see the trail either, enthusiasts on sites like these are actually into using them with their off-road capabilities in mind.

The H3 is a different animal than a Jeep, and has it's own strengths and weaknesses.

I have D-rings on my Ridge Rock bumper which are bolted on. I don't take them off, I just use another D-ring to connect them to a strap/rope/chain or whatever.

And the way they are made (wide and heavy duty), i use them as a jacking point for Hi-lift jacks. Works like a charm.

This is what I was refering to. Being able to get a strap into it. Not actually taking it off of the vehicle.
