Hello my fellow Ridgeliners!

My parents just bought a new 08' Honda Ridgeline RL for themselves bc my dad likes n wants a truck, been having one for ages, we use to own a 98' GMC Sierra 1500 but some f-in f*g was drunk n high n hit my mom in the back, running a red light, luckily my mom wasnt seriously hurt but the truck was totaled so we had to get a new truck n this was the ideal choice, compared to the American trucks w/ gas n all but my dad really wanted the Dodge RAM = / cause its big n everything, eh lots of details, dont think everyone wants to read about it =]



since I'm new, i have a looottt of reading to do lol

i spend some time a day on toyotanation.com bc I personally, drive an 07 Toyota Camry n so I'm familiar w/ forums n how ppl dont like it when noobs post same threads over n over again when they can simply just search

BUT! i have a couple of ?s that im sure it has already been covered, too tired to read ^.^

1. with the brush guard rail, i noticed that from realtruck.com its only for like the 06-07, will it fit the 08s? n where perhaps would be the best n cheapest place? other than eBay n Amazon if those arent my only 2 choices

2. today when i was driving the ridgeline all night, i noticed that the shifting is kinda rough, comparing to my Camry n other trucks, it might jux be my driving n break in period or something but is that natural? or is there a TSB for it? I briefly scanned through some forums n TSB n noticed that there IS a tranny TSB but i might of missed the whole description of it soo...is that what im looking for or is that for something else?


thanks a lot guys! and hope to learn some great and wonderful things in here let alone make some friends

Welcome to the board S3X. You're folks got a great truck and I'm sure they'll have good luck with it. The rough shifting could be anything form the cold to it just being a truck. Without any real detail it's hard to say but I'm sure others will jump in if there are any known TSB's on it.
Regarding the brush guard, you have a ton of choices...even right here. Keep your eyes open for fellow members posting items for sale. H&A will have anything OEM for you, and yes of course there are plenty of other websites outside of the ROC if you can believe it.
First rule here is post up some pics when you can, or at least some details on the new ride.
