So how long was the install? … trying to map out my day/night so I’m not up until o-dark-thirty trying to slam it all back together before heading to work in the morning. Will be doing the pedal monster at the same time (if I can).
Pretty mechanically inclined but not going to pretend I’m a...
I looked a long time for it … I’ve had it now for 14 years (was a college graduation present to myself). Bought it bone stock and did all the work that’s on it back in 2009
- overhead/panoramic camera to see all around the vehicle (would be nice for mall crawling and off-roading)
- vented front seats
- that modular hardtop concept/patent
- steel lock box under front seat (Lexus has a safe in the center console of the GX)
- cooling options for the diesel
- an...
(2) CIPA 48600 Full Size Convex Mirror (Amazon, link sends to app)
(2) 3/8-16 x 2” SS Socket Cap Screws … if you can find 2-1/4” that would prob be better
(2) 3/8-16 SS Decorative Cover Nuts (acorns)
(2) 3/8 SS Locking washer
I like that I use the T50 that comes with the hardtop removal kit to...
Mirrors from my LJ keep folding (plus don’t like having to keep switching them between Jeeps). Made a quick set with some SS hardware from HD and some $9 mirrors on Amazon. Tested them at 80 mph and didn’t budge. Good $25 project.
How many Ridgeline owners just dropped a grand on more parts this evening?
Probably the same number as the of number times a little kid comes up to them in a parking lot and says “Cool Honda!”
Any pics would be appreciated.
Now that we’re getting back to in-person more I’m finding myself back on the road and there are times if nothing else I can at least have my camera on to show people I’m driving and not sitting by the pool sipping a mai tai with my camera off
How is the clearance...
Drive both jeeps top/doors off in So Cal traffic with usually freeway trips to the beach, work, etc. It’s not that bad. I like the tire/road noise with the wind and music playing. I keep raincover tops in both mainly just to protect my interior - only takes one bird crapping on your driver seat...
Word of advice … don’t share this article with a family member that’s an attorney. I just got a full lecture from my wife as if I wrote the article and it’s my fault that this lawsuit is happening. Luckily I’m pretty sure I blacked out for part of the conversation.
Not a fan of adding more decals (personal preference) but I decided to toss them all on the Yeti - perfect use for the red rubicon emblem too
still looking for a couple more that I have for parts on the LJ
I took delivery of the Jeep it in November and the shop happened to have one in stock. I got lucky.
To me, the ride quality was a drastic improvement - I was worried about bottoming out going over speed bumps when it was stock.
Kept the 5100s. I have 5100s on my LJ and always liked them. We...
Don’t know about the Clayton but I’ve been very happy with the AEV kit on my diesel. Always a solid company with quality parts. Have a .75” spacer up front to help with the rake.
Installed the Undercover UltraFlex - shout out to @jl_explorer (and his sick Mojave on 40s) for the hook up.
Couldn’t find this anywhere … yes this can be installed with the Trail Rails.
