Welcome to the forum.
New(ish) Trailsport from Idaho
Greetings,
Not really new since we got her last September, but new to the forum so I got that going for me
Traded in a 2018 Jeep Rubicon for 22 Passport Trailsport. Needed something a bit more road trip friendly, plus I've always loved Honda's AWD system that in many situations will run circles around a traditional part-time 4x4 setup. And since our off-pavement adventures are mostly dirt/gravel roads and trails, the Passport will handle most of that with ease.
Only planned upgrades are the tires (already done) and NoLo skid plates. Other than that she's perfect as is.
Technically this is my second Passport since I had one of the original rebadged Isuzu Rodeo Passports back in the 90s.
So. Hello all!

Ha! If only I had one. Back in those days digital pictures weren't yet commonplace. Thanks for making me feel old! LOL
The stock tires are "rugged look" all season tires, not even triple peak rated. Went with the Falken Wildpeak AT Trail in the stock size. One must-have was the triple peak rating for better winter handling. Performed GREAT in the snow and icy conditions of the Teton National Park in March.
I've been on the fence about the stock TS wheels. I was almost certain that black wheels would look better, but then I was following my wife driving it and thought they looked awesome as is. Will definitely be keeping the stock wheels for now, would rather invest in the skid plates to protect her soft fleshy underbelly since she does see some off-pavement action.I have an elite but bought the TS wheels and put wildepeaks on them. our PPs look pretty close now
Never really cared for the HPD wheels, but that's why we can choose
Congrats and welcome to the forum.
I hear you on daily driver as my Passport was purchased because I didn't want to drive my Gladiator all over town taking kids to baseball games and whatnot. I'd imagine the Rubicon was very useful in the Idaho snow. I get so much attention in my Gladiator and am invisible in my Passport; I'm guessing there's a decent Jeep following in Idaho. Curious if you miss the Jeep culture...

While it's no Gladiator, my wife says she's had several people notice and ask her about her TT/PP. There's at least a segment out there that find it a striking vehicle.Congrats and welcome to the forum.
