Very nice.

Look what the big brown truck brought me today! Install took about 15 minutes but should have taken 5. I downloaded the install instructions direct from Honda's site. First of all they state that you have to drill 3/8" holes for 4 of the push pins. They then tell you to put the shorter push pins into those drilled holes (it comes with 2 different sizes). I'm not sure what they were on when writing the instructions but 3/8 is TOO LARGE. The pins just wiggled around in the holes even after being snapped in. Luckily the old "long" pins I removed before the install fit fairly snugly. Anyway for anyone planning to install the under dash storage I would definitely recommend starting with a smaller drill size.

The other puzzling thing was they state that the 16 models do not have the molded drill points for the holes and that you have to fit the storage compartment up and mark the hole locations. Either they lied or my dealership gave me a 17 model unknowingly. Mine is supposedly a 16 model and it has the molded drill points. Bottom line is Honda needs to get their s#!t together.

After the frustrating install I am happy with the extra storage. It doesn't even come close to getting in the way, but that's not saying much cause I'm olny 5'8".

Why would being 5'8" have anything to do with under dash storage?

You haven't fallen on the floor again and having a hard time getting back up are you?

And the video.

You and I live very different lives... That was awesome!

I would like that very much.

Great video, Now that I have a Pioneer I really want some tracks now for getting our Christmas tree next year.

 

[IdahoPioneer]

Thanks. I have to say this setup is working awesome. With the tracks it kinda feels like I'm driving a mini tank. I just switched back to tires and now it seems so fast.

Has your snow gone?

We got 6" over night but it's supposed to be 45* by Tuesday.

Around here you have to get up above 5000' before you get into the snow. Lots of melting going on.

Hopefully the deer and elk aren't so far gone that they will be able to make it.
I hope to make it out there to hunt this fall.

This winter hit them hard. I was out last weekend and didn't see anything but a coyote. Gonna try again soon and hope for better results.

Would love to hear some real on the ground observations and not the F&G "controlled" answers.

F U lights installed!

Here's my take on a snorkel. I did some seat of the pants testing to see if it was restricting air flow. I did notice a very slight difference but I don't think it's anything significant. I added the drain caps to either side of the pre-filter material so it would stay put.

 

[elkguide]

Good idea. Looks very smooth.

There may be a possibility of the foam being pulled through the intake on that. Maybe a couple screws through just the other side of foam?

I didn't take a good picture of it but I put 2 of those drain cap things in there. One on either side of the foam so it can't go further down and it can't come out the front.

I saw you did that on both sides when I relooked my apologies. That was good thinking!

I can't remember who it was but I remember someone on here actually sucked that filter all the way to the air box. I figured I would try to not repeat that lol.
