They still feel great! The size is perfect for my lifted Pilot.

Maybe, LOL. Are you calling Honda owners heavy breathers?

Agreed!

I didn't know that! :(

@GotterAdventure They don't sell any pilot compatible wheels anymore

I agree that it would be better to move it 100% above the rack. But, this antenna still reaches above the top which is better than a lot of other locations. We mostly use it for caravanning and don't need miles of reach.

I will have to look that up! Is the name fitting?

I like using magnet mounts for my phones. Here is an Amazon affiliate link to the mounts I am using now. www.amazon.com/shop/hondapilotoverland/list/2WVYHR252W8OI?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_HHJJJ4JF188J42DBK411

The lift was provided and installed by a sponsor. We do have a front skid plate. The sliders may have helped, but it isn't guaranteed.

@ Keep having fun man. My largest regret after kissing a boulder was not installing sliders first. They were the next upgrade. Next truck is getting armor before anything.

Thanks I was really impressed with the Passport on the shoot. I got over confident and didn't listen to Randy... All in all this is the risk we choose to take. The damage isn't too bad and is definitely repairable if we choose to spend the money.

It wasn't too bad. It scratched through the paint in a few spots and dented the body line in on the rear passenger door. Just like Ian it is isolated mostly to one door. We bought our Passport to go on adventures. This is the risk we choose to take. Not to mention in this video I got over confident.

That is true. We didn't buy it to sell it, so the damage is only a big deal if it bothers us or we can't repair it.

Is that an event?

Thanks Ian! It was a lot of fun up until the damage. If only I listened to Randy! LOL I would have come out unscathed. We bought the Passport for adventuring so that is the risk we choose to take.

@@no-lodesigns dang Ian…. Seeing that trail damage on the Ridgeline made me cry 🥹. Nah, just kidding, but I felt really bad for the Burgundy beast. Is that trail tougher than the Birds Eye Gulch trail? Looks pretty rough. Did you repair the Ridgeline?

@JonDZ_Adventuring The sounds of crunching sheet metal got the jeeps guys attention in that section. It was rougher in spots. I was lead and tried a different line. I end up sliding into a root overhang... There are a lot of overhangs like that at uwharrie. I backed up and moved over 3-6inch and drove the line without issue. I believe a spotter could have prevented it. The door is still dented. I figure it's only worth fixing before parting ways with the truck. I think wider sliders would have helped out too. Just need them to be full length.

Thanks! I bought our passport to wheel it. This is the risk we take. It was awesome feeling the difference in gearing on the trails! We love our Passport and can't wait meet again in the future! It is a great long distance adventure rig!

@ those dug out trails out there are crazy. I’ve been on terrain like that, but without the major risk for smashing a side panel into something. Literally walls as tall as the vehicles in so many places. Yeah man, we need to meet up again. I hear Camping Randy is getting the new new Passport. I’d love to see that.

Yes it is lifted. Check out my build thread on Overland Bound. www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/2007-honda-pilot-off-road-build.20884/

I got overconfident and ignored Randy. LOL The damage isn't too bad. A few scratches made it through the paint and the body line on the door is dented. We bought the Passport for adventuring so this is the risk we choose to take.

@@GotterAdventure if car is used for off-road - it should be expected to have a lot of scratches (doesn't mean that it should be 'goal' but it's impossible to avoid). If scratch is an issue and should be dented / etc. - this car just should not be used for offroad.

@@A_Oryol I agree and accept the risk! It doesn't change the fact that I should have listed to the spotter.

Yes I am LOL

No

Yes it was! This was Imogene Pass in Colorado

How do you use a trail without damaging the trail? Do you stop using the trail when it is wet? With your logic you won't be on the trails soon either. No one will... I have seen more damage from 4wd vehicles blasting it.

Lol small tires spinning isn’t causing the damage you think they are. It’s the big ol open diff trucks with aggressive 35s+ MTs or boggers that are tearing up the trails.

@@JoK3RH3R0 I installed camber bolts and was able to get it back to spec. I have adjustable control arms.

I am running 245-75-16. This size should work with or without a lift and not cause rubbing.

Hey Mike! These mats impressed me and made it way less messy to clean up after trips!

Could be a good idea, what products do you recommend?

Headlights are a smidge low now, but if I pack it full I bet it will rise. The fogs aren't too bright.

@lonecamper1806 Fog lamps are designed to produce short range illumination when there is low visiblity in heavy fog, snow, dust. They are not designed to be low beam helpers or to allow you to see further ahead (that's what low beams are for). The correct aiming method for a fog lamp is to align the beam cutoff 4 inches DOWN from the height of the center of the fog lamp. Generally the beam would mostly be visible just barely over the hood line, maybe even less. Seeing as Honda screwed up the aim for headlamps its likely that the fog lamps may also need some adjustment.

@@automotiveledresearch6724 Good information!

It never did...

I have not, there are twist clips I believe.

I would keep gas on the outside of the vehicle. A hitch basket could work well. I am going to have a spare tire swing at some point.

@@GotterAdventure thanks

I still have and use the Pilot. We just decided to upgrade for my wife to daily with the kids. The Passport has much better gearing for steep trails. I want to tackle Imogene pass in the future with out assistance from a jeep!

I bought new studs but ran into an issue while torquing them. I had to vacuum fluid out of some of the stud holes. To avoid using mismatched studs, I decided to switch back to the old ones and applied the correct torque specs for reused studs.

Thanks! I love the way they look too!

LOL, I'll take that as a compliment!

We are using oem crossbars on our Pilot
