    I just put AT51's on my Pilot for a better look. I should have gotten even beefier tires, as I think I will be going off road a little. Would be nice to use the Pilot as something other than a vehicle to drive back and forth to the airport.

      At51s are a great tire to get you off road. If you find yourself in mud a lot you may find and aggressive tire is better.

    I had the Duratracs on my Wrangler. They don't last long (only got about 40k out of them), but man they are sticky. I almost never had to shift into 4wd in the winters here in WV. Son has the Wrangler now with BFG ATs on it. I am planning to throw Duratracs on my FJ now but man they are expensive!

    Hey Aaron, thanks for the videos! They’re very helpful. I have an 07 pilots that is probably going to be driven by my son soon and we’ve been wanting to do some upgrades. I really like your idea of painting the stock rims, it looks really good on your vehicle and I think that will do the same. Does your blog or anything right up details on what you used to paint the rims?

      I am running LT245/75R16 108/104Q C Goodyear Duratracs. I chose this tire because they where the lightest most aggressive tire I could find. They weight 40 lbs while most other aggressive tires are E rated and about 50 lbs.

    Just so you know for future reference, my 07 pilot has 245/75r16 BFG AT KO2 E loads and they are fine. My fuel mileage didnt suffer dramatically and it pulls fine and brakes fine. I went from C load to the E loads and didn't notice much except for more durability. Alot of people on the forums tried to keep me from putting on the e loads but they ride fine, really better than a P load all terrain which feel like squishy balloons.

I am running the original front struts and upgraded KYB 344353 Excel-G Gas Shocks in the rear. I have 2" front lift spacers, 1.5" rear lift spacers, Firestone W237604135 Coil-Rite Kit air springs in the rear (adds 1"), front cam bolts, and rear cam arms.

      @@noeymac88 The Ready Lift Kit comes in a $699 vs approx. $380 for the parts I used. The Ready Lift Kit would not solve the issue in the rear where the lower control arm adjustment bolt is seized to the bushing. And it doesn't include front camber bolts or the rear camber arms. In my experience all of these parts are needed to get the vehicle into alignment. On top of all that my parts provide an extra half inch of lift in the rear. With the money I saved I was able to by the Firestone W237604135 Coil-Rite Kit which helps keep the rear from sagging with load and adds some more lift.
      Overcoming the rear lower control arm bolt/bushing issue is the hardest part of lifting 1st gen pilots and aligning them. You will need to press out the old bushing and press in the new ones. Or you can buy replacement lower control arms at about $180 each.

      Please list the tire size so we are clear. Are the tires rubbing anywhere?

      What size are the rims? Are they rubbing on the calipers
