Hey gang,
Finally got around to finishing up some loose ends in the 'build' of this daily driver, and had an opportunity to take some pics. Just picked it up about 7 months ago, and it has been outstanding (no surprise). Stay tuned for more pics and possibly another few modifications, but it's basically finished. (I've said that thousands of times about thousands of projects, just ask my wife!) With a family, racing, work and other bikes to build, it sometimes doesn't get the attention that it should, but after last weekend's clay/buff/Klasse, it's looking pretty clean. Enjoy! All Comments are welcome.

Thanks for looking, more pics to come!

The day I brought her home:



and now...

 

 

 

looks very clean, have you thought about putting on a brush guard or tube side step?

 

Nice black is always nice.

 

I have seriously considered the front black brushguard with some aftermarket fogs, but I really don't like any tube bars, in fact I traded my oem running boards for the retrax bed cover.

 

Love your truck and what you have done with it.
I am looking to do the same with mine and was wondering what size tires exactly that you have on it as well as it the tires rub at all on turns?
Are the rims 9x20" as well?
THanks for you time

Project murder!

 

nice clean we built one here at spreen honda for the show room, it was so nice owner of spreen took her home lol ill post pics if i can find them vary similar build but with brush gard

 

Tire size is 275/45/20, but I could've gone with 285s. They do rub, and require some pretty good grinding of the pinch welds in the front wheel wells... even with the lift.

I'm still not big on the brush guards that are offered by the aftermarket. I am considering fabbing up a custom pre-runner bar.

 

awesome truck man! Same rims as the truck in the movie "Gamer."

 

ha!!!!! my best buddie works at grillcraft!

 

freaking tight

 

You should consider tinting the taillights and third brake light. But it's tight non-the-less!

 

Sweet!

 

Thanks for the kind words. Wheels are now for sale. 1500 local or 1700 shipped. They were over 2200 new and only have 2k miles on them.

 

def a tuff guy truck

 

That's basically how i would have done a ridgeline, if I didn't need a V8. I personally would go 18's with a bunch of tire. That's what I did on my Tundra. Seems like I get more even comments from young and old alike. 20's are just not trail rated, imo. I also believe there needs to be something else on your grille. Not an emblem, but maybe a trim ring of some sort. Looks unfinished. Truck looks bitchin though man, and again just my humble opinion on that stuff.

 

Your Ridgeline is beautiful man. I wanna have something like that done to mine, but not as high.

 

Awesome truck!!! Very clean look!!
