Very cool. Did you just lay it out and heat then trim? Are there some instructions?

We did. Cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and set it down onto the vinyl. Both of us held onto the piece while working out the bubbles. We watched a YouTube video showing someone wrap their center console, but we didn’t watch the whole thing. The heat gun and team work was the key. First attempt wasn’t perfect so we took it off and did it with another piece. That is the good thing with the vinyl, you can take it off and start with a new piece. I did purchase way too much vinyl but you never know what I may wrap next. Thinking on doing all of the shiny black trim inside.

Thanks! We dislike the piano black inside as it reflects sunlight. Is it matte or is the outer layer clear and reflective?

Today, ADVPASS got to meet its slightly more extreme twin brother, JONDZADV. We had a fantastic morning on some fairly challenging offshoots of the Pilot Rock Truck Trail near Lake Arrowhead.

I really like the wheel/tire combination I see here.

Here’s the whole package after installing the JSport Pre-Run package. I guess I’m done modding .. for now.

I just love those wheels/tires man! And, you have the lift too.

Matte with texture. It comes in different sizes.

Was able to get the windows done today. Sitting out in the sun “curing” the tint before the weather turns rainy.

Just wrote my last online bill pay to Honda Financial Services for my Passport!

I financed it for six months to get $1000 off MSRP and it added 80 points to my credit score!

Still love it and even more while I’m still driving a rental Dodge Journey for the next few weeks for work days.

And an update on what I thought I did to my Passport about a month ago - I backed out of the condo sale with the bigger garage. It turned out to be in a flood zone and the HOA pulled their flood insurance policy a year ago without telling anyone! So when I leave San Jose - I’m back to this...

It wasn’t easy - driving a 13 year old CRV prior helped me save the $$!

I love JSport but my wife did not love their side steps (slim step platform .. she wears heels a lot) so I swapped them out for the die cast. Pretty happy with them. Anybody wanna buy some gently used JSport steps?

I’d like to see a photo showing your wheels and the side of your passport! The rivet look is very cool looking!

 

[bterry]

I already have the die cast running boards. I’m just looking fit the lift kit, wheel/tires, skid plate and front bull bar with illumination.

 

[bterry]

Like those wheels! Are they difficult to maintain?

Just checked with one dealership in high point, nc that can apply this kit. Labor for the lift: $800, for the skid plate: $300. That brings the total to around $5K! They initially quoted me $3500 just for the kit. I called Jsport and was called by the person they recommended at a Honda dealership; he quoted me the same price Jsport website does. Then gave me a number for another 4 X 4 shop that would definitely have lower labor rates. “It’s a nine hour job.” Hmm.

I switched out all the candescent light bulbs for LED ones. But during the process, I pushed the light socket into the door panel on the driver side. I am going to work on this during the weekend.???

I had the lift kit installed and the new wheels and tires done, including mounting the factory tires back on the factory wheels after removing the tire pressure sensors, at a place in Kernersville, NC for about $700. May wanna check them out. Kernersville Tire and Diesel/Route 66 Custom Built Trucks and Jeeps. They do all the builds for the local Dodge/Jeep dealer.

Labor for the lift: $800, for the skid plate: $300.

The skid plate is easy to install and should be less than 1 hour labor... remove 4 bolts in the front and 2 bolts in the rear, then reinstall bolts with skid plate in plate. You may have to enlarge one or two of the holes in front for proper alignment. I added fender washers to all the bolts for a better installation.

Added splash guards to my AWD Touring today in my garage. It was super easy too!
