what are your planning to add to your pilot? - Honda Pilot

mariley85 · 08-02-2011, 10:35 PM

i have a polished metal 2011 ex 4wd, and so far i've removed the standard oem roof rack and replaced it with a thule tracker system.

next on the list, in no particular order:
-readylift 2" lift
-some tires/rims (my buddy runs an off-road shop, i'll let him pick them out)
-possibly some kings. they get pricey, but they're worth it.
-isimple is75 ipod connector.
-hardwire my escort 9500ix
-kenwood navigation

i plan on it looking similar to this, without the goofy nerfbars.

i'm a big fan of the ipod. i'm no apple superfan, but the original ipod's interface is perfect. also, i recommend the isimple is75 instead of using the auxiliary jack. i had one on my civic, and i've had one in my boat for years. it keeps the ipod charged, and it's much more of an oem look. granted, you can't control it through the head unit, but i never wanted that because all of those systems royally suck, and why would i want an inferior gui when i'm driving? go isimple!

I'm afraid I'm with Rocky on this one, but I'll be very interested to see the 2" lift. I'm not even sure how you could left the Pilot (and keep the suspension geometry right) without replacing massive amounts of the factory suspension. Please please please post lots of pictures of that bit if you do get around to doing it.

will do. it LOOKS like a simple install, and the shop i'll be having do it knows what they're doing. the company claims.....
ReadyLift® Features
Keeps your factory ride - Guaranteed
Will never wear, break or fail - Guaranteed
Toughest finish – Guaranteed
Safest way to level lift - Guaranteed

and it's only 700 bucks and bolt-on, so it's a win-win experiment.

i opened that thread and it was all about cleaning and filling the gas tank. this thread is about aftermarket goodies and upgrades.

Getting all my windows tinted for heat and sun protection. I would love to replace the stock grill with the OEM option.

The kit looks very mild. Raises the struts and has longer sway bar connecting rods. I would love to see before and after pics of this. Keeping stock tire size?

Me, I'm going to throw in the fog lights and trailer wiring harness and call it a day. Also, at around 20k miles I'll start thinking about alloy wheels with the first tire change.

You will definitely need the adjustable upper camber arms for the 2" lift in the rear, they don't appear to be provided in the kit.

HoneyB · 09-03-2011, 09:26 PM

I would be happy with adding:
A remote engine starter,
Maybe have the windows tinted, and
Running boards.

EMSToast · 09-18-2011, 08:59 PM

I'm going to add:
OEM Crossbars
upgrade speakers & add amps
Weathertech deflectors and mats
hitch mount bike rack.

- Front tint to match OEM rear
- Roof cargo basket (looking at MegaWarrior or MOAB)
- Front lower trim? Maybe?
- MDX rear braces
- timing belt/etc (and coolant flush to the new Honda blue stuff)
- brake fluid
- tranny fluid
- diff fluid
- maybe ps fluid

Just did tires, oem fogs, oem side rails, filters, engine oil and a **** ton of cleaning.
