Here are photos from our recent trip to Flagpole Knob in George Washington Nation Forest, VA. We had a blast and the Pilot did great. It isn't a rock crawler, but it does great on loose trails.

Awesome! Love seeing the Honda nation represent. Also love seeing the adventure cat, a rare breed indeed!Here are photos from our recent trip to Flagpole Knob in George Washington Nation Forest, VA. We had a blast and the Pilot did great. It isn't a rock crawler, but it does great on loose trails.
Did I miss a video or how-to on the engine mods you decided on to improve your Pilot?
You didn't miss anything, I am working on the upgrades video now. I just enjoy editing the adventure videos more. So I finished it first.
On a recent long trip other than a bit of extra wind noise the roof rack on my loaded down lifted Pilot didn’t seem to affect the mpg (18) significantly.

Here is my current Transmission cooler setup. It took creativity and cutting to get it all to fit under the grill cover with my custom front hitch receiver. I used two Hayden Automotive 678 Rapid-Cool Plates that I already had and installed them vertically under a pusher fan that I salvaged from a Landrover. I have foam between the cooler plates and the radiator and between the fan and the cooler plates. The fan would not fit under the stock power steering cooler so I converted it to a cooler plate from the salvage yard.
The fan is wired to a 180F inline fan thermostat: 180F TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FAN THERMOSTAT SWITCH KIT 6AN IN-LINE HOSE ADAPTER | eBay which turns the fan on when the trans temp hits 180. It also allows an over ride to be wired in.
