Very nice, I am assuming you reused your stock top hats?

Ain't nothing like a Texas road trip. Except the 20point turn I had to make to return to the highway.

hey fello waggoneer,
i see you have done some outdoor travel on gravel roads too with a cargo box above. This past weekend i had to convince my wife that the wagon would do just fine with a hitch carrying two fat tire ebikes,, 3 ppl , a dog and a roof top tent. it failed miserably, granted i am lowered on type s wheels with the sidewall of 45 i believe. My question have you ever thought of putting meatier tires on your wagon , just to make the road trips , outlanding adventures a tad bit easier ? i cant find a lift kit , lol ... but i i was thinking of just going back oem springs and putting either 215\60\16 inch rims and tires or 235\60\16 but i dunno if any of those fit. they make all terrain on 'off road those sizing. Your thoughts? if i cant find a solution soon , she will be reminding me everyday to trade it in for a honda pilot 4wd .8\

I put the TSX stock size tires on my Type S wheels. Outlanding is fun but I personally wouldn't do it in this car. The car offroad aftermarket is non existent unfortunately.

I need to put on my front oem fangs on, and replace a fender liner. I'll take proper photos once I do that.

Oh no.

Looks like it could be okay though? Could be excuse for a JDM bumper?

And jeebus, damage that high up... Had to have been a Hillbilly ass pickup truck, right?

My TEIN SA coils don't help and I was at the front of a three car rear ending, had a 03 Explorer hit me, glad it didn't hit the glass but the hatch aint cheap either.

Should be a job for someone else's insurance though, right?

Hopefully it's rather superficial from the bumper down and there's no frame damage. Looks like it could be fixable with a new hatch.

Yeah they have basic insurance (ACCC) but the latch area was pushed in the trunk floor isnt flat. Blah.
