Scooter Dude,
I would think by now your little guy would be lit up like a Christmas tree with all you LED lights and running boards. Glad you got you basket up. Did your platform ladder make the process flow easier? I think that is great the Honda basket is the Thule basket. Would it be cheaper to get the Thule basket at REI during 20 percent off day compared to the Honda model therefore have REI insurance?
Thanks,
Pdog
It’s a work in progress for sure and will say the same in 2 years as it’s never done ???. The platform ladder was awesome and it was even better than a regular ladder as it was more stable (my son even said the ladder was awesome and he would never talk about a ladder ???). I am a Thule fan and have a Honda basket as it was marked down good due to a scratch you would never see, a little sealant and I’m good to go) so I would go with the Thule at REI for the 20% as it’s the same smaller one but perfect size for me. I will take pics today at lunch. Cheers!

Pics finally/still cloudy ⛅ tho ?

Today was skid plate day! The boys at JSport USA just got the official Passport skid plate back from the powder coater and I was able to pick one up.

Jordan was kind enough to meet me to drop off the plate in one of the JSport Passports. I like that the first Passport I saw "in the wild" was trimmed out similar to mine.

Image


The install is 6 bolts and was done in 20 minutes. Nice piece, well thought out and surprisingly light.

Barely any at all. The rear portion that is parallel to the ground bolts flush to the cover plate the extends under the middle of the Passport. You're really only losing the thickness of the plate itself, which to my eye is 1/8" aluminum (I didn't get out the calipers).

With CA sales tax it was just under $400. I did the install myself with 2 sockets and an Allen wrench and I was able to pull up on a curb to get enough room to work under the car.

It couldn't have been easier. Remove 6 factory bolts and replace them with the supplied hardware.

The plate is light enough that I could easily hold it with one hand while lining everything up and installing the bolts.
 
Are usually can print out their prices and take them to my local Honda dealer and they match them every time
Yep, I did that (printed the web page from College Hills) and my local dealer matched the price on splash guards. Parts guy said they need a print out to turn in to administration, but they will not match ebay prices.
