Mine is all stock right now glad to see Someone with as much faith in their ridgeline as I do mine lol 10/10 favorite channel

[@RenegadeHQ]

Damn! Thanks brother! I appreciate the compliment and support!

[@Windsofchange89]

Best Ridgeline channel out there. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Well done Sir

[@RenegadeHQ]

Wow! Thank you for that compliment! And thank you for the support!!

[@mackdiesel6437]

Glad I ran across your video, I have a 2012 stock low mileage. This gives me ideas 👍🏻

[@RenegadeHQ]

Most excellent! I’m glad it has inspired some ideas!

[@craigiefconcert6493]

Paint and lift looks amazing by the way

[@RenegadeHQ]

Thank you!

[@techevar]

Looks Awsome!! The best Ridgeline I've ever seen!

[@RenegadeHQ]

Wow! Man, thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@delanosantos9618]

Man again awesome content!! Asking the wife for the flat out suspension!!

[@RenegadeHQ]

Aw ya!! That’s epic!

[@Step1-go]

the stickers are the key. got me a 2014. I’ll build mine like this once i get another car.

[@RenegadeHQ]

Nice! The stickers add all the power! Haha

[@_sacredseven_]

I have a 2011 and I raptor lined it with the same design. Nice work. She shreds.

[@RenegadeHQ]

Nice! I’m doing raptor lining today actually haha

[@JournyOfaPeacefulRuller]

Right on! 100+HP AKA Power Boosting Sticker LMFAO

[@RenegadeHQ]

Haha. I’m glad you totally understand. Haha

[@kevinkennedy6832]

Nice summary!!! I’ve been watching for awhile now. Love the stuff you have done. I have a 2014. I got the 2” lift😕. It was before the 3” was out 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. You have mentioned working at a shop are you a mechanic??

[@RenegadeHQ]

Just get the Flatout suspension and you’ll be totally set haha. I’m not a mechanic. It just a big garage that can fit a few dump trucks in … when it’s clean haha

[@NMIBUBBLE]

Looks apocalyptic Man! Looks Sweet!! LOL I like the red striping that looks amazing!! It really looks hard core now! Great looking Truck! What's the interior look like have any Rhino lining in it? :)

[@RenegadeHQ]

I appreciate that! I want to build another one but a bit more precise and more detailed so hopefully that’ll happen sooner then later haha

[@ghandigps5]

Outstanding Build King 💯🇺🇸💪🏿 #HondaHead 🤙🏿

[@RenegadeHQ]

Thank you sir! I appreciate the support!

[@craigiefconcert6493]

I was shocked at you ripping through the mud. Those tires are the key I’m sure, and of course the lift because these are low. How does the lift affect the drivetrain? Wouldn’t it mess up the transaxles?

[@RenegadeHQ]

If you watch my “Final set up” video I go over it. Everything is working great! Thanks for the support man!

[@joesepspindel3335]

I picked up a front receiver hitch for mine and I was looking at your front splash guard and noticed you no longer have one. I think a winch on a removable cradle for a two inch receiver so it can be used front or back would be a good idea. Flat out suspension is very expensive to me.

[@RenegadeHQ]

Ya I’m looking at winch ideas for sure! Also, due to the abuse I put the suspension through I think it makes sense. 3 yr warranty and only $125 to rebuild. In 1.5 yrs I went through the stock struts with more moderate off roading. If I replace the struts 2 times I would spend almost as much as purchasing them, and the 3rd time replacing struts I would save money. I hope that made sense. Haha. They aren’t for everyone but they definitely help the ride! I absolutely love them and feel way more stable!

[@bluetensormedia230]

nice job.

[@RenegadeHQ]

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@clarenceyoung4701]

I got a 21 durango. Honestly the 2012 ridgeline I have seems way more capable. Not as fast or powerful but it does good in snow too. Up in Canada.

[@RenegadeHQ]

Definitely! They dominate in snow

[@ojaiboy805]

Hey bud quick question, I just got my Flatout suspension and am doing the install. If I’m only planning on lifting the truck about two inches do I need to get camber bolts for the front end?? I see some people not using them at all. And others using them for alignment.

[@RenegadeHQ]

I think with only a 2” lift or shorter it’s whatever you decide. I would use them just to make sure when I took it or there were no excuses to be able to align it. That’s just my opinion though.

[@ojaiboy805]

Thank you buddy! I love what you do, keep it up!!

[@frankietuned]

I don't even want to add up my list of upgrades. Lol

[@RenegadeHQ]

Haha

[@timhardman4764]

Great summary with costs of all your upgrades. Looking forward to watching your next trek in the lower 48 when you test it all again in a different environment and loaded up with gear. Did you ever try to mount that spare tire in the bed on the passenger side where there is a threaded mount (behind a small plastic cover) just for this purpose? I know due to the larger tire the mount won't line up but it seems like one could use a piece of steel bar with a hole on one end for the stock mounting point and the other end tapped and threaded to line up with the center of your wheel. This might open up your view a little more when looking out your rear view mirror.

[@RenegadeHQ]

Ya, I’m debating what to do exactly with the spare. I want to be able to access it without it being under the truck though.

[@timhardman4764]

@@RenegadeHQ I'd try the place I suggested 1st, easiest access and only partial visual obstruction and 2nd choice would be on the roof of the cab, out of the way, no visual obstructions, just a loss of MPG and maybe a lot of wind noise at highway speeds?

[@RenegadeHQ]

@@timhardman4764 for the time being I think it is good. I’ll look into it the coming weeks.

[@mishazubovnik3070]

Racing stripes also boost proformance!

[@RenegadeHQ]

Haha. It definitely gave me more power! Haha

[@streetracerz4116]

Stickers added 100 hp 😂😂😂

[@RenegadeHQ]

Don’t you know?! 😂😂

[@TheBegoing]

I love my 06 not what I wanted but just what I needed. I know the articulation is amazing and still feel level also the travel is bonkers. Have you noticed an increase or decrease in this capability and what have you felt in the change of steering effort

[@RenegadeHQ]

Not very much, only because of the tire size. But I did some cutting and it all good!

[@KYMBB22]

Thank you for that video! How bad is the gas milage to be expected. I just $ a 2010 thats have 22 inch rims and I mistakingly had them 10 psi under the max with a few 1000 pound loads. 😟

[@RenegadeHQ]

Your welcome. Thank you for the support!! Mpg is 13 to 14 in the city and 15 to 16 on the highway. Overall not that bad for the set up I have in my opinion. And gas mileage is going to be worse as expected with upgrades like this. Rides like a dream though! Extremely smooth and reliable!

[@Israel10]

Great video, looking to get me one, how's the Gas consumption on those ?

[@RenegadeHQ]

I average 14-15 mpg with my current setup

[@darylsmithofficial]

Hey do you wheels still rub at full lock? I’ve done a ton of cutting and pounding but still rub at full luck. Is this something that’s always gonna happen or do you have any recommendations on how you eliminated that entirely? Did having spacers help? I have no spacers on mine. I’m running the same tire size and 2” lift

[@RenegadeHQ]

Appreciate the support bro! I had the 3” lift, no spacers, I did not rub. I cut a lot thought. There is a video on the playlist called “renegade”. Check that out I’d you haven’t. Also make sure your struts are good… if they need to be replaced you’ll definitely rub.

[@gryphus_pilot4986]

Where did you get your wheel adapters from?

[@RenegadeHQ]

I just got them on amazon. I think they were $100 for the set.

[@christianalvarado2547]

Im looking for the suspension, but it gave me 3 option: 06-16 17-20 21-up Whats that?

[@RenegadeHQ]

The year your vehicle was built.

[@christianalvarado2547]

@@RenegadeHQ understood. Thats what I tought, but just to make sure. Thanks.

[@christianalvarado2547]

@@RenegadeHQ I'm curious. Why does your Ridgeline doesnt have off-road bumper with winch?

[@RenegadeHQ]

It will soon haha. Working on getting one fabricated and mounted. Just need a good design and welder. But soon friend.

[@issacissac1327]

I’m trying to lift mine as much as it’ll allow. I’m gonna get that 3in block lift and sub frame lift. I was wondering what coil overs you would suggest or is their a way I can lift it higher?

[@RenegadeHQ]

We’re you asking on the FB group like a day or 2 ago?

[@issacissac1327]

@@RenegadeHQ no I don’t have face book.

[@RenegadeHQ]

@@issacissac1327 3” suspension lift is the highest you can get before axels start binding. If you cut the wheel wells then you can fit some November tires (33”) to give you a bit more clearance. I had it lifted 6” for like a day then had to replace my axles. Haha. I love Flatout suspension because I offroad a bunch. And it’s more comfortable and cost effective then getting OEM struts. I just used Flatout suspension coilovers to get the 3” lift.

[@issacissac1327]

@@RenegadeHQ okay thanks bro do they make longer cvs and axels? I’m also planing on getting the bumper with the skid plate that takes off the whole front bumper.

[@RenegadeHQ]

@@issacissac1327 that’ll be awesome! To my knowledge no one actually makes those. The OEM ones have the longest travel and best quality. Just make sure they are actually OEM from Honda

[@cjm12646]

Weak point on the Ridgeline is the tranny cooler inside the radiator. Friend of mine had a 2006 and the connection broke inside the rad and flooded the tranny with coolant and destroyed. I love mine don't get off the beaten path with it but wouldn't be to concerned.

[@RenegadeHQ]

Ya I think it’s a risk but heat I think is a bigger risk then smod

[@Daninbristolbay]

Have a 2008 Ridgeline RTX. I like it but sure wish they built w more clearance. So the lift is interesting. Also, towing a boat my transmission stinks - I wonder if an expanded tranny cooler would help? I appreciate you showing all you've done to this one. Now to get some 100hp stickers........ ha ha

[@RenegadeHQ]

Haha. For real! That’s why I put the “mall crawler” emblem on it 😂

[@joshfattig514]

Can you bring me up to date so I don't have to watch every video, I looked yesterday and liked your setup there and watched a video that you said you get 14 to mags and then looks like you swapped it with a chevy chassis, My question is did the honda motor or tranny not hold up to the mods and off roading thanks man.

[@RenegadeHQ]

The Honda was running strong. There wasn’t anything wrong with it when I did the swap.

[@joshfattig514]

OK, thanks man, I was wanting to build one similar to yours, I thank you, I personally just want clearance and better fuel Miles than my excursion, I wanted a jeep but everyone I know unless they are older are always replacing something on them. I didn't know exactly what I wanted until I say your video so thanks again for showing me they are more capable than I would ever do with it

[@RenegadeHQ]

@@joshfattig514 your welcome! They are awesome vehicle and are more then capable then 99% of what people actually use trucks for
