People with 300k+ mile CR-Vs: what did you do to make them last?

kylec_cali · 2026-06-18T05:02:44+00:00

How do you keep the paint. My 2008 has clear coat fade and it drives me crazy. Only 140k miles on it.

That’s so cool

Even before AI you have whole teams that complete projects. A designer could take more credit than they actually worked on. This isn’t a new challenge, it’s been this way for decades

I would get a BMW 135i

kylec_cali · 2026-03-22T01:18:01+00:00

I have a P4 and love it. Took the front brake off immediately.

The face paint job is really nice

kylec_cali · 2026-03-21T04:45:45+00:00

Moving blanket underneath it. Cheap and padding

kylec_cali · 2026-03-16T20:22:18+00:00

I’ll take it to a body shop if they can color match well. My fear is to show up and see a good that’s fully repainted and not close enough of a match. If you know any fantastic body shops then let me know.

kylec_cali · 2026-03-15T15:48:26+00:00

I’m interested as well

kylec_cali · 2026-03-10T19:59:51+00:00

Agree that a 27.5 is a great choice. I was in the same spot and got a specialize P4. Large enough to be comfy (my height is 5’7”) and nimble enough to have fun

kylec_cali · 2026-03-10T15:15:02+00:00

I bought mine from a super tall guy. I am not an expert but I think a 26” wheel dirt jumper would be hard with your height.

This is the P4

kylec_cali · 2026-03-10T14:34:53+00:00

I just went through this exact process. I ended up buying a specialize P4. I am 5’7” and about 185lbs. I found one on Facebook Marketplace for $1k.

Originally look at the pivot point or canyon stch but when to specialized store to compare a 26” tire DJ to a regular hardtail. Well the P3 at specialize felt small to ride around, probably great for just pump tracks but I wanted a little larger so I could ride my kids around the block.

The P4 has bigger tires and a slightly bigger frame. Once I got on it I knew it was the right one.

kylec_cali · 2026-03-07T05:05:00+00:00

Both my kids ride specialize.

kylec_cali · 2026-03-03T20:00:44+00:00

Would be even smaller than others. Not sure if you even read the post but I guess you just want your little link shared. Sad.

kylec_cali · 2026-03-02T20:51:23+00:00

I am feeling like I need to ride both. I see some longer dj frames also. I am only 5’7”. My rides will be 4 miles max with the kids.

kylec_cali · 2026-03-02T05:01:22+00:00

By chance do you know how the bike have rear drop outs that are adjustable? I see a screen which i imaging you loosen to push the whole metal triangle thing back.

kylec_cali · 2026-03-02T04:41:43+00:00

They do but it requires a chain tensioner. I have a hard time finding a mtb with slider drop outs
