Your suspension is solid now! Dual Springs, wow.😮! Congrats on hiking The mountain. Is impressive! Back in a day. I did a back packing trip . Mt San Gorgonio! 40 something pound pack. 6000 ft to 11.500 ft elevation gain. Luckily I bought a water filtration system to fill up with the creek. Is which massively helped out. Is my friend. Dan and one other person with me. Slept on top! Epic stars like views like I never seen. ANYWAYS CONGRATS ! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!

I love the camp kitchen. Did you make a video where you completely finished it and added all the cool stuff and if not, do you actually make them and sell them?

Why do all this work to look like a 4Runner, just buy a 4Runner and call it a day🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re setting yourself up for failure hiking with a 35lb day pack. 35 lbs is my weight for 4-5 days backpacking. Bring a water bottle with a built in purifier and fill up every chance you get. Try lighter hiking shoes/boots. I’m an overweight guy too and dropping pack weight makes all the difference. Shoot for 10-15 lbs.

That’s sucks you have to download before you hit the trail. It’s should already integrated j to the app. Why do I have to go download extra map layers and other bs.

We started to hike as a family because of us going on trails with the rig. My wife loves gardening and plants so naturally after going on trails she wanted to see more plants. It's also great for exercise and slows things down to enjoy nature. I was prediabetic and also suffer with severe sleep apnea which was finally diagnosed a year 1/2 ago. I have started to eat better and continuing to lose more weight and a CPAP machine has made a world of difference in my overall health. Keep at it man and your rig is nicely setup!

This reminds me of visiting Flinders Ranges National Park in Australia. It’s really good compared to everything on the way there, but kind of lame vs the best U.S. western parks. Flinders Ranges was about as cool as northern New Mexico. I lived in Houston for a decade and visited Big Bend National Park twice and Ranch State Park once. They are really good for Texas. Big Bend Ranch State Park is the closest we can actually get to western overlanding in the state. My more frequent trips were to do a long first day to Muleshoe NWR or Mills Canyon as a quick stop on the way to Colorado, NM, and Utah. Spending 4 days of a vacation driving to Colorado and back vs 2 days driving to Big Bend and back is worth it if you have enough time off work.

I can't believe I found this hidden treasure! Subscribed, and I'm excited for more wisdom! __ "Achievement thrives on unwavering dedication and relentless effort.."

Hope you can keep overlanding. You have a great channel.

need a montage of the accidents happened when you open the rear hatch, rtt hitting your face, wagon falling out, etc lol Just got my KO3s in the size of 265/70r17 load range E, I am liking them so far.

Does it work with regular lithium batteries?

glad you are doing good!

I didn't think this was a hiking channel. I thought it was a kayaking channel. (: The dual springs seem interesting development. Would love to see you do a Moose Test! Congrats on the weight loss Jon. Health is super important! You only get one body. Do the maintenance! It's a lot cheaper than emergency repairs!

Cant eait to see this build in person (;

Holla ❤

Jon how many miles do you have now on the passport?

C’mon Jon we’d still support you if that meant watching 20+ min vids of you hiking. Glad you’re all good

Wow Jon great video love the real talk at the end. I think in your day pack and in your vehicle you should carry emergency stuff to handle the diabetes. I first had this situation when I was young and my sister friend (had diabetes) had a problem and she asked for sugar and I had some gum and that fixed it till she got back. You have such great videos about your c pap machine for sleeping good and now for the diabetes!!!! Stay healthy!!! And move up here jond and grace!!!! We can help each other and adventure!!!!!!!

Sick ass build brah I remember when it was bone stock

*Lifted* Ridgeline

Going down in steep paths is almost as tiring as going up. One thing that definitely helps is using a walking stick while going down the mountain. An extra supporting point while descending makes all the difference and helps to prevent knee damage if you are heavy. I hope you did not develop hikers toenail either.

Nice, did’t realize you went 10 ply but a good move based on your driving habits. I went 10-ply 32”s (Wildpeak RTs) and have been happy despite the 0.5mpg hit. I feel much better about running 15psi now.

What happend to the Nissan!?

Congratulations on the weight loss and getting diabetes under control! My son's Boy Scout troop did a High Sierra backpack every summer and the best training for that was a high altitude hike when possible but the biggest help was a steep incline hike/walk every day. We used a very steep street near us and started going up the once and would increase it as we got in shape. End result was the boys and their dads, some of us in our late 50's made it up Kearsarge Pass 11,700 feet. Keep it up! can't wait to see Half Dome! Remember on a hike you're not on a diet! you need calories to burn so snack often

Would you consider moving into the prerunning space now that youre not overlanding as much? Still get to go off road but not carry exessive weight all the time

You make a lot of excellent points here. I think the one time we tried doing some moderate off-road in a CVT equipped 2016 Forester here in Jamaica the biggest limitation for us was throttle control/response. The hills were not super steep and power loss due to altitude wasn't much of an issue since we didn't go over 1000m or 3200ft. What was extremely hard was in the mud you trying to accelerate over an obstacle or get going in slippery circumstances and you put some throttle in, and then not much happens, and then suddenly wheelspin etc. The TRAC control will then cut power, or if you run with it off, things get a little hairy and it's hard to maintain lines. It was just extremely hard to modulate uphill. Not very linear despite the name lol. On the other hand coming back down the same muddy slope X mode saved our skins. There was no way we could do that and keep it on the trail by engine / wheel braking manually. The electronics managed our speed all the way back down

I own a 17 MDX. Can I put this lift on it!?

I like how you blurred out your gun😁

This was crazy to watch! So impressed by the Highlander getting through!

Enjoy your content! How many inch lift on the GX? I like how GX isn't all cut up and keeps the side step

Great video! Basically pick the trail that is suitable to your car’s(suv, crossover, minivan, sedan, pickup,etc) capabilities if you’re overlanding. Off-roading tough terrain you better have a 4x4with either Atrac or rear lock or both.

😂

I love this video but I can't understand why these Subarus don't have enough power to make the wheels sleep over the rocks, the engine revs but it seems that there is no power to wheels. With a manual gearbox would be different no?

Very good and simple explanation.

Engine sound is always better than this pride month celebration music.

Watching the ending , where you talk about why you stick with the Honda. I get what you're saying about on-road comfort, I have a 4Runner and quite frankly I'm sick of driving it. It's not bad at all, I just do way too many highway miles to really enjoy it. I do think there is a middle ground though, the last generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is available with a low range, but has a very car-like driving experience. I drove my brother-in-law's 2014 Grand Cherokee and was blown away at how smooth it was compared to the 4Runner. I do a little research, they were available with the Hemi V8, can be lifted about 2.5 in, and can fit 33-in tires. They also have a 39 to 1 crawl ratio, which is better than the 4Runner. They can also tow 50% more than the 4Runner, if that is important to people.

Like the Australian guys say, Wranglers are trail weapons. The Yotas flex well in the rear, but you notice the front doesn't do too much with the IFS.

I live in your neighborhood! I've seen your Passport. Just recently got interested in exactly this kind of stuff in the past year.

Nice dirtroad woopdiddy do

As for the read end in the Ridgeline I believe they still use the AT-4 system which is basically an electronic locking differential.

I owned a 2005 Honda Pilot and I was driving through mud holes, never spinning a tire, while S-10 pickups were getting bogged down. There was just something about Honda's AWD that makes them nearly unstoppable off-road. In contrast I had a 2007 Lexus GX-470 that sucked off-road. Too heavy and traction was poor even with locking differentials.

I have a gazelle like yours and thought how it would hold up winter camping, thanks for presenting. I also have eco battery banks and solar, but I definitely take my gas inverter generator as a backup.

Proud of you for all the hard work on your recovery. I know a lot of people that would not change their diet or routine even for something serious like that, and you've been doing an amazing job. Keep it up! Also, the hike looked super beautiful and relaxing, for the most part. Thanks for continuing to make great content.

Does the AWD models have a transfer case???

When Tony overheated his RL, what was his tranny temp at? I've gotten mine to hit 260'F and the overheat warning never came on. but i can definitely smell the burnt ATF

Time to switch to La Croix 😂

The guy driving the Taco with his caution lights on the whole trip would get kicked from the group if he did not shut them off, there is NO reason for that. Meh!

Not a truck

Health first! As for someone that’s had health issues this past year you’ll find your new normal. I love the passport and your videos.

you are doing good jon. just make sure to cut down on the alcohol as well for your health. Thank you for all your inputs on overlanding and working with Honda to develop the 2023 Honda pilot trailsport. I just got the 2024 pilot trailsport earlier this year.
