Love your build! Currently dabbling in the same with my pilot. You say youre running 245/75/16 tires, are they LT or P rated? Are there any problems with fitment? I'm gonna order a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W's for my 2004 Pilot and i'm unsure of if I should upsize or maintain the stock size.
I’m very curious to see how this turns out, been interested in adding a snorkel too!

Parts ordered! The front Camber Bolt and rear adjustment bolt links are no longer valid. If you have any advice I'd greatly appreciate it! If I find suitable replacements in my research, I'll post the links.
Just do a search for Honda Pilot camber adjustment. You will find the bolts and rear adjustable control arm.
Thanks for the reply! I found them pretty quickly and was just going to post what you already said...
This snorkel would fit, but the top only goes half way up the window column. I didn't like the look so the search continues.

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.
I had bought that exact one too but didn’t quite like the fit, just ordered one for a Toyota Hilux 106 from amazon. Looks like the size and A-Frame angle should work.This snorkel would fit, but the top only goes half way up the window column. I didn't like the look so the search continues.

Keep me posted on the results. There aren't many options out there for the left side of the vehicle.
I found your videos on youtube as I was trying to find some repair videos for my new (to me) Pilot. Awesome build. I wanted to ask you if you have changed your struts and rear shocks or are you still running the OEM's? I can't seem to find anything for off road use.
I just found your videos on youtube. Lol.
I love them. I have my 05 pilot. The wife and I were going to get a new 4runner. We decided to hold off for a couple more years.
Upgrades I am going to do in the next year:
Moog springs and coil-over shocks (Monroe)
New front struts
General Grabber AT2 or Falkin Wildpeak
Roof rack
Auxiliary battery (upgrading to lithium battery)
Onboard air compressor
Awning
We use totes for our camping gear. Thought about a drawer system, but decided to find off. I may build a trailer.
I don't plan on lifting it as it is a DD for my wife. So I don't want it to be too much stuff for her. I figured the upsize on tires and a roof rack would be enough for her. Lol
We do some fun rides and some technical stuff from time to time (as much as a pilot can do).
Any advice you have, I am open to it. We ground tent. At some point, I may go to an RTT, probably not this vehicle

I have slightly used OEM shocks up front and new KYB shocks in the rear. I have a 2" lift spacer up front and a 1.5" spacer in the rear. I have firestone airsprings that help even out the rear.
That looks like a great list of upgrades. I would caution you on the monroe rear helper shocks. I had tried two sets and they all rattled like crazy after a week. I ended up with KYB shocks and they have been great. I have been really happy with my stock springs with firestone airsprings. They really help keep the rear from sagging and stiffen the ride while not making it harsh.
Hhmm. If you had problems with them. Maybe I should just do springs and bags with a set of good shocks.
I was going to do the springs anyway. Just looking to correct the sag and support the gear load.
Still kind of hung up on the bigger size tires. Not sure it is worth it. I am not lifting it. Just replacing the struts on the front and springs on back
Did you run any sort of aftermarket shock mount, or are you just running the stock mount with the shock in a more extended position?
The shocks in the rear do not require any modification when used with a lift. They are capable extending and contracting to the full range of motion of the Pilot's suspension.
