nice early stage progress rob I recall how happy I was when I first put in my weathertech digital floor liners
Yeah I guess none if this is real Progress on a build but more like getting comfortable, maintenance up to date as I don't know all the history, etc.
But TBH not too much else going on over here.
ZDX is even more rare than a Wagon : thumbsup:
Today I changed the oil and put the OEM rear bumper applique on. Was a big day LOL
Bought the replacement door panel
Color is correct
rear bumper protector
Oil filter wrench and drain plug wrench
New 14 mm crush waher
Cargo area led
FilTech A01 OEM HONDAHOND FILTER
Mobil 1 5w-20
new car inspection said needed new sway links to resolve slight jiggle noise
Rock Auto Moog Problem Solver
$52 for pair delivered.
Remove need 6mm Allen and 17mm wrench.
These aren't for everyone as they require grease service every once in a while.
install is 18mm socket and 19mm open end yo hold shaft .
Then some grease and I had some rubber caps that don't fit right but on until I get something better

Yep. Mine wore out around 55K miles. Rattling heard in the front end when going down a bumpy road.
I think the rear ones are next, slight rattle in the rear when going over something like railroad tracks, just haven't had a chance to check them out.

Yeah I'm planning those too.
Next up for me is Coolant change. I'm debating to touch the hoses and thermostat too....or figure those can be done with 100k service.
Christ almighty,
firstly, you know your fuckin maintenance...gonna assume you're a tech or were in your past life.
Secondly, damn right for loving the ZDX. I had one as a loaner long ago and although it's not for everyone, it's a
futuristic spaceship that you rarely ever see...cargo space is no worse than my vagon so technically it's practical
as hell for what it is.
I'll definitely be following your progress!

Judging by the condition of the 68 Chevelle and the large tool chest in the background, my guess a mechanical background or dedicated car guy like most on here. Irregardless, on the ZDX

I tease my buddy that has a 2017 Shelby GT350 is less rare than my ZDX.
Im a car guy that refuses to pay the stealer for anything I can do myself. An early purchase was a service manual set. Worth every penny.
And Im just a backyard mechanic at best. But I do enjoy the wrenching, had many hot rods, classics, Harleys, etc over time.
Lastly, Im OLD as dirt//

Its a 69 El Camino but close and Im just a car guy !
Today I paid to have the brake fluid flushed. Wanted them to look at the noise in the front suspension
i replaced front and rear sway and some noises went away but not all
Said the found a loose front left lower control arm.
And same wheel, the metal clips that holds brake pads was missing. Pads were flopping around.
Noise gone.
And check off my last maintenance item:
Brake fluid DONE
I was never happy with the yellow laminx on the fogs when lights were off.
So I removed it and bought some 2700k LED H11 fog bulbs from Xenon Depot. Hard to get s good picture with my phone when on but you get the idea
off
I chickened out and had the timing belt etc done by a local shop I trust.
76,500 miles but in service 8 years. And came from Vegas to here. very dry climate.
I might have gone a bit longer but I may do a road trip in October so its done.
Hi Nothing much new except I moved. And I used zdx to help me haul stuff. Then the Turkey Rod Run in November. So I did a 3x3 on my trans today.
DW-1 FTW lol
It would make sense for them to.
I used to see them around, had one for a loaner.
I did not like that it was tiny for an SUV...hitting my head on the
way in and our LOL...but if you can get past that, it was a cool
futuristic looking thing.
