We exist, we're just shy, apparently. Hello from Houston!

And an improved bumper to protect the glass jaw with a winch, apparently. Gimme. Seriously, though, anyone have an idea where these are from and if they're actually commercially available, or a custom one-off?

Ooo... Whereabouts is that? Near Mason? Or further south?

Yeah, not a surprise, but given that the 235's don't come with a 235 spare, I was worried that the size of the spare compartment might have been the reason for the difference. (It's still a 225/65/r17 Pirelli Scorpion spare even when you get the optional Falken Wildpeaks). If it's the post I'm...

So this is probably not a surprise, but I couldn't find anything confirming it before I bought the 5th tire: A 235/65/r17 spare fits in the compartment aired up and on the rim. It also doesn't lift up the cover/cargo floor any further (assuming you're already using the upper setting for the...

The Honda Rescue Garage channel just posted a really neat offroad video pitting the badlands against a modified 1998 Explorer. The "$500 vs $500/month" title is a bit clickbaity, but the video's really well done and there are some pretty darn cool bits to watch. The nice thing about it is...

Oh, uh, also, just FYI, it's historically notorious as a nude beach, at least when the weather is nice. The usual advice is "no kids" (there used to even be a sign to that effect). Don't know how much that's still true, and certainly no one was going to be out the day I was, but still, it's...

Yeah, definitely! Just be really sure you air down (makes a huge difference in sand), bring a shovel at the very-very least, I'd recommend having recovery boards in addition to the shovel, and preferably go in a group. Watch the tides and predicted surf. Don't go if it's high tide or if the...

Yesterday I went from High Island up to Sea Rim State Park along "lost hwy 87" (about 20mi of very isolated beach/sand/mud driving). Definitely a fun trip! It's rather desolate and can be a bit strange at times. Lots of decaying oil infrastructure and odd things washed up with absolutely no one...

And I just saw the main post of this. I can't seem to delete the thread, so feel free to ignore!

Motortrend just published a rather interesting review that compared the Rav4 TRD, the Outback Wilderness Edition, the Bronco Sport Badlands, and a relatively base (unlimited sport) Wrangler, of all things. It's well worth a read...

They are! Also, size B is actually what's recommended for the sport by Yakima. Here are a set of pictures that try to show the spacing and fit in a bit more detail:

It's the B size. No sunroof, in my case, but there's a fair bit of clearance. I think you would have enough space to operate it even if you did have the sunroof.

Easiest option: Try switching to eco mode. That will make the throttle respond a bit slower and smoother. More generally, I think pedal commander works with the sport. It allows you to change the programmed throttle response / how the gas pedal behaves by temporarily altering the signal sent by...

Put a platform on in anticipation of some fall camping trips and lumber/etc hauling:

The orange is less bright orange than you might think. It honestly works really well as an accent color, especially with a blue exterior like area 51. It's definitely orange, and if it covered larger areas, it might be too much, but I find it to be a really nice touch with the way they've done it.

Honestly, they're pretty strong as cargo hooks too. I've tied 5gal water jugs and propane cylinders to them and they've held up fine. They don't seem strong, but I've been impressed so far.

You can shift while moving and it's definitely fine to switch between eco/sport/normal/slippery on the fly. E.g. I regularly do while in motion. Switching between those changes throttle response, shift points / transmission behavior, and traction control behavior but nothing else. It's...

Better skid plates and rock rails. Please. Really, pretty please. Just like the ones in the 4wp sport build from awhile back. Really, take my money. I'll pay a pretty penny for it! The clearance is good enough for what I do, but I really want a bit more protection. The skid plates on the...
