All 4 of my Hondas have had the Trail Armor skids, make sure and get the model with extended side plates. They will go a LONG way in protecting the sides without having tree kickers. Get the trailing arm guards also.
Also think Trail Armor is have a closeout sale right now.

And yes you will love it.
I think Trail Armor Skids will be my next upgrade

All good. I knew exactly what I needed from the picture you posted on General's build thread.

It wouldn't have been as big of an ordeal if this small town had helpful people. They were showing in stock but the bin for them was empty and the lazy employees basically said "oh well" instead of checking the back 🙄

But, it kept things interesting and allowed us to pick up other things we needed, as well as Cajun Boiled Peanuts 😂

I got the 10-80 Dirt Sports harness anchors from @highpocket74 and got both of the rears and the front passenger installed. I still need to install the driver side but I have to install the seat riser rails first. That will be done another day.

The install of the harness anchors was pretty easy overall. For the front passenger seat, we did need to remove the bottom seat frame to get enough room to tighten the nut that goes underneath the frame for the anchor.

I got the PRP 5 point harnesses installed in all seats except for the driver seat. That will happen once I get the seat riser rail and harness anchor installed.

The worst part of doing this was removing the freaking factory bolts 🙄 They torqued the shít out of them and then used loctite. The impact did nothing because of the angle. After fighting like hell with the first seat, we decided to go buy a breaker bar, made life so much easier.

I guess the struggle to being new to all of this is not having all of the tools readily available.
