    Yeah 4L is basically just a way to stick all your low end torque to the ground but it does not work at high speeds, usually it is not able to be accessed "on the fly" like 4H either, in ours the truck has to be in neutral with your foot on the brake at a stop to engage 4L

    Just traded in my 07' Accord. Almost got a new Forester because the Honda Pilot was too expensive. Honda called me back, told them I had a deposit on a Subaru and was picking it up that day. they then gave me an offer I couldn't refuse... So here's my 2011 Honda Pilot. Can't wait to go camping with seating for eight!

    Just came off the truck.. with 1 mile!

    Well figured I'd post the pics of my weekend ride, use this thing year round cold weather doesn't stop the dedicated ::)

    It is powered by a Merc 175hp SportJet system, so it basically runs like a giant jet ski, gets super shallow with no issues since there is nothing sticking below the line of the hull, still planning on a new trolling motor this summer, have a MinnKota Terrova iPilot 80# thrust system in mind for that and just got my Lowrance HDS8 with Insight USA for the mapping kit


    Also as an idea of it's size, the trucks you can barely see behind it are fullsize single cab 1/2 tons, this thing is huge, weighs a little over 4k lbs on the trailer with no bait tank and an empty gas tank

    22' long and 100" wide on the physical boat itself
