I promise to do pics soon. For now, the HF is parked 32 miles from me for safe free parking AWAY from falling tree branches during wind storms.
My white DX has suffered a couple of small dent hits on the very front of the roof, and a couple (very small) on the hood. Thankfully white is a forgiving color not to show too badly from a distance.

I hope to do some side by side pics.

Not sure yet how good condition this motor is yet. I need to at least put a new ball joint very soon.
In my climate here, it seems to rain 3/4ths of the year.
DX has aftermarket sunroof that leaked until I sealed it shut. The HF has a nice SOLID roof. Been dreaming for that for years! Better structural integrity, better looks, and aero cleaner.

Took the '85 diesel suburban for the trip, got u haul tow dolly w 50 miles to go for the car. On Dec. 24th, had to watch the timing deadline as u haul closed at noon.
Its a K10 w manual hubs, and small street tires w not much tread to go.
For the whole trip, averaged about 25mpg. keeping my top cruising speed on flat ground at indicated 55mph which was probably 52. I intentionally crawled up every incline to basically not work it hard at all! 125 hp takes patience if you want the mileage, and want it to live long.
I usually drive this not even 1% of the time. It is the furtherest I've ever driven it, and the first times I've ever filled the 40 gal. tank.
For my part of the country which always has higher fuel prices, it was very nice to find diesel $336.9, and even $350.9ish bio at my home nearby truck stop!

The HF has both outside mirrors, will try to verify that it is supposed to weigh 152# less than the DX ... 1,713 vs. 1,865. The previous owner put 14 inchers w mags on there...1 of those mags I'm told is slightly bent..to shimmy at higher speeds.

When I get to all these things, I'll probably put the 13's w the nice flat aero hubcaps
from the DX on the HF. Eventually, like to go all the way down to 155's.
I want to set some new mpg records for myself!!!
Will share more as time goes on. Please be patient! Happy to try and answer any questions you might have.

In in accordance w this time of year: HAPPY HONDA DAYS!!!

PS... If you are a 2nd gen. fan; there are usually plenty of rust free HF's on Craigs List: SEATTLE!!! You eastern guys would do well to plan a trip to there abouts!!!
$2000.00 should get you a very nice one!
