    Yep radiator fittings, water pump, any seals, all fitting for suspension. brakes and pads, tires tread, check underneath the back seats for the supporting bar to check to see if it's fitting into the seat, easy fix, check underneath the carpet to see if there is water do the same thing up front of the cab to see if the sunroof is leaking. Check the locking cable for the trunk bed storage easy fix just need to look for the cable with the ball at the end that goes into the unlock on the lid of the trunk storage, just need zip ties to fix it. check for yellow tape on the cable pull back and zip tie it. Make sure if you get one get a inspection on rust too. Either don't buy that one or if it's just a little bit take care of that first.

    So what IIIIIIII do is remove my front passenger seat. It’s a game changer I promise. I level out the floor bumps with various folded U-Haul blankets. Super easy. Allows me to stretch out and it’s easy to exit from the front passenger door without ooching too much Actually opens up a lot of room for storage and organizing and you’ll have easy access to your ignition and ventilation controls/fir cracking open or closing windows. I also have window visors and slip on mesh window screens from Amazon. Also using the right rear seat folded down turns it into a pretty cozy lounge 😃

Nice cuschion good control and much better then speedgoat but not too good for streat walking. I am using for long hiking hoka stinson. Good impact, very good stability, pleanty of room in forefoot, very good for a streat and also for a woods. Kind of all terrain shoes.

    My tent fly is a gray color. I used my tent on a 2 month bike about in 2021. It was a good tent. 2 things though..1. the right side fly zipper came apart & I eventually sewed in Velcro instead of a new zipper. 2. I bought the footprint but found it entirely too thin. I took the tabs off the footprint & made a new footprint same size from a Big5 10mil tarp(sewed the tabs on the tarp). Other than that, it was a great perfect sized tent for bicycle touring. I really liked the short pole sections for packability.

    I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline RTL with Navi, which I purchased new while I was an engineer at Honda R&D in Marysville, Ohio. I have done all the schedule maintenance, and I am at 202K miles. One recall that needs to be addressed is for the straps on the fuel tank. There is a corrosion recall, and the dealerships will replace/install the additional mounting bracket. Only expensive repair was for the rack and pinion steering that was leaking after hitting a pot hole on the well maintained CA roads in standing rain. The roof liner is starting to sag over the bench seat, but the 1800 dollar price tag to replace it is not feasible to me. I have addressed some of the roof liner material around the windshield myself with 3M spray adhesive. I have the tonneau cover, so I have not had any bed liner issues. I have replaced all the interior/exterior lights with LEDs and it make a huge difference to aging eyes. Headlights should be replaced, but I have been wet sanding and applying clear coat during the summer to get through the winter weather. In CA, that is called rain.....

    Great video, thank you! Really enjoyed watching this! Would you say taking the route you found & marked on the way down would be a lot easier to go up? I'm bringing my 62 year old mom to the area this summer & am undecided if we should attempt this lake or not. She is fit but I don't think she would appreciate a total scramble....

      Thank you!!! The Sabrina Basin area hikes to numerous lakes are clearly marked and will have some stream crossings that may be difficult over logs (or you can just trudge through the water like I do 😁). I would suggest taking a cellphone with a hiking app like Gaia so you can route find and not get lost. I also suggest trekking poles to assist with water crossings and general balance/alleviate knee strain. Take your mom, she'll thank you and never forget spending special time with you 💖 Go Take a Hike 🤗
