Nice. Got any side shots of your truck? I have a 2007 and I was thinkin of gettin some better tires, like 33s if possible. How difficult was the suspension and the exhaust?

I went through the mud puddles probably 10-15 times. They were a lot deeper the night before... covering the headlights. During the first runs, the traction control did come on. I turned it off to see if I could get it stuck, but there was little difference.

Clearance in the wheel wells will need to be adressed with 33" tires. On few occasions, I have had minor rubbing with what I run.

Suspension and exaust was a piece of cake, but I do this stuff for a living.

Here is a side shot...

From the Desert of Tucson (in the mud) to Durango Co. A few days later...

Lots of fun in the snow too. I know this is just a dusting of snow, but on the icy roads to the ski park, the Ridgleine handled itself better than my old 1 ton Chevy dually 4X4 would in the snow.

Awesome!! I've only got 700 miles on my RT-S but I'm already itching to get it dirty lol! K&N is first on the list for minor mods, but how do you like your Gibson exahust? I'm afraid of the typical drone/wheeze that exahust system typically give a V6 but I haven't seen/heard a Ridgeline with that exahust yet..

Honestly, it is a little louder in the cab than I expected. It isn't too unreasonable though. Gas mileage went up just a bit as well.
