    My Mid-life Crisis "build."

    I think a dark (metallic) grey looks good when black is . . ., just too black. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sequoia Rig

    Not whistling as much as just loud wind noise. I didn’t like the added height also, even if just 4-5”. I can fit in some car garages but not others. I can’t remember off hand but I did research the Oem rack limitations and we were within them. I do plan to make a wind deflector in the future...

    Sequoia Rig

    The black tool box is sitting on a slide in moto carrier, which is in a receiver adapter that raises the carrier about 4” and back about 6”. This allowed for additional clearance between the ground and rack, (very much needed in places) and a platform between the box and vehicle for a greasy...

    Sequoia Rig

    Nice and clean before departure for trip. Stop in Dallas for some monkey business. Night 15 north of Vail near Lost Lake. If you were thinking pics of specifics such as mounting the RTT I can do so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sequoia Rig

    I tried adding a Thule rack to raise the tent but it made too much noise so I used shorter bolts and original roof rack. It’s a PIA to mount but I figured it would make it harder for someone to steal. No issues with anything touching the roof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sequoia Rig

    With a single bed inside and the double RTT, this is a great camping vehicle for myself and the kids (11/13). Stock other than rear air bags. Nitto Grapplers are more than adequate. Nice and comfy on the Hwy and handles mild off-road just fine. 4700 mile, 16 day trip from the FL panhandle thru...

    1990 Trooper Makeover

    Plans have changed. I'm selling the 84 to a friend and focus on the 90. Engine has blown HG and I've treated with magic bottle. I'm still cleaning and removing undercarriage protection and pressure washing. Power steering leaks but wks fine when full. I will slowly make improvements and...

    The other wonder mechanical genius my 88 Trooper

    What kind of scoped gun is that your shooting birds with? Never seen rifling for fowl before. Not criticizing, just curious. Looks like fun.

    1990 Trooper Makeover

    That's the plan. Slow is okay. I think in the long run it will be worth it for the $$. I'll run close to stock tire size and I'm in the flatlands. Any idea where'd I'd find axle gearing? Not sure if they are the same. I will keep the 6/auto and rebuild for later when more power and auto would...

    1990 Trooper Makeover

    Project details: Donor: 1984 untitled, 2door , 1.9 liter 4cyl manual Recipient: 1990 clean titled 4 door with bad 6cyl and auto This is my first real venture into motor/tranny removal/install so there may be some potential screwing up to ensue. I have less than $1k in both vehicles so the...

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    2005 Pilot. Glad it's not just me. I'll be going with the street tread next go 'round.

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    For what it's worth I had the AT3's on a Honda Pilot and replaced them after about 20k miles due to their high level of noise riding around town. I rotated and balanced regularly but finally gave up and went with BF Goodrich.

    any honda owners in these parts that take their rigs offroad?

    Some of the squat you see is the angle of the photo and unlevel ground its on. Spring assisted shocks were a must have for hauling the bike and fully loaded trailers. No abnormal tire wear noticed. As much as I like the AT's the noise level may not be worth it. I had Discovery's but replaced...

    any honda owners in these parts that take their rigs offroad?

    I use a Pilot for camping at Dual Sport events around the SE. I constructed a bed for a twin mattress and have netting for the windows. Gets around 18-20mpg on the Hwy with the bike. It's also my hunting vehicle til my trooper gets the necessary TLC. It will go anywhere I need if i don't stop...

    Pre rebuild. Loaded down for the weekend. The front is still removable if this configuration is needed again.

    Adventures of the Ugly Duckling

    I noticed looking at this pic how the Pilot shows how small the trailer really is. Inside bed is 4 ft wide and 8 ft long in the enclosed area plus small deck and tongue.

    Adventures of the Ugly Duckling

    15 yrs ago I needed a trailer. Craigslist guided me to a west side trailer park. I thought for sure my wife would demand we get the hell out of Dodge before I could ever negotiate a price for the cheapest ($150), ugliest trailer I may have ever laid eyes on. A long tongue, wooden sides of rotten...
