AWD Fest 2024 at Uwharrie National Forest provided a great off-road test for our 2024 Passport Trailsport Overland build. I was impressed with the gearing and power compared to our 3.5"-lifted 2007 Honda Pilot, now at 315k miles. Outfitted with 265/70R18 Goodyear Duratrac RT tires and the HRG...

I never thought floor mats could make such a big difference. Smartliner sent us a set of mats for review and I have to say they provide incredible coverage over OEM.

I drive a lifted 2024 Honda Passport Trailsport and a 2007 Honda Pilot, both built for off-road adventures. This weekend at Overland South in Charleston, SC, I was surprised to come across a Tesla Cybertruck on the trails. Its capabilities were pretty impressive considering the wheelbase, and I...

The lift and tires on our 2024 Honda Passport Trailsport came together perfectly this weekend at Overland South in Charleston, SC. When I first scouted the obstacle course, I thought they had finally managed to 'Honda-proof' it. To my surprise, the Passport’s clearance allowed us to take on...

The VTM-4 and i-VTM4 systems essentially act as on-demand rear limited-slip 'locks.' On our new Passport, the i-VTM4 even offers torque vectoring, which improves steering on slick surfaces! While no vehicle is perfect for every situation, this setup meets our daily driving and family adventure...

I recently installed an OEM Honda hitch on our Passport and just finished putting together the vlog for it. I made a small modification to keep the factory silver kick plate, which was important to me since most Hondas don't have much going for them in terms of rear styling. Removing that little...

Honda has a new Passport in the works. Only time will tell what it looks like. So far we are loving the overall performance of this vehicle. It handles much better than our 2007 Honda Pilot in every way. I can't wait to take it to Overland South and the AWD Festival this month!

Last weekend was big! I worked up the courage to install our new 265-70-18 Goodyear Duratrac RT tires. I selected these tires because they were three peak rated, had over 16/32 tread, weren't e-rated, and have an aggressive side wall/tread. Tire options were limited for 18" wheels. but I am...

Delivering aid to our family in Aiken was a good first test for our HRG Beast kit 4.5" Lift. We hauled 91lbs ice, 132lbs of Gasoline, an 80lb Generator, and a family of 5! Before the lift my hitch carrier would drag exiting our driveway. Now it is held high up and out of the way! Overall the...

The HRG 4.5" Beast Kit is installed and now our stock tires look tiny! I am pleased to report we drove over 600 trouble free miles this weekend delivering aid to our family in the path of Hurricane Helene! We will continue testing and report our findings, but so far I am loving the lift! Now to...

Today, our neighbors stopped me to say how much they love the new Offroad Passport build! We're set to get the new tires installed this weekend. I’ll need to do the same trimming that JonDZ did on his Passport, but since there are some differences between our builds, I’m really hoping everything...

I'm happy to report that after adjusting my headlights, there were no flashes from oncoming traffic during our recent 2-hour night drive!

FYI, this youtube comment added the appropriate tool (16 in. long reach #2 phillips screwdriver)

Right from the factory, I noticed that the headlights seemed too high. After getting flashed by other drivers for the fourth time, I decided to do some research. It turns out many Honda owners have reported similar issues with their headlights being set too high. In this video, we adjust them...

As mentioned in my previous update, the HRG Beast Lift (approximately 4.5") is going to make the stock tires look TINY! To visualize this, I created a mockup of how it might look. I’m currently planning to upgrade to 32"-33" tires for the build and have narrowed down the size options to either...

We have partnered with HRG Offroad to build a new lift for the 2024 Honda Passport! Ben said he should be able to make a beast kit somewhere between 3-4.5"!!! Soon we will be forced to buy new tires because the stock ones will look silly. I am leaning towards 255-70-18 Goodyear Duratrac RTs...
