Honda should bring this style CRV Back to the market.
Nah I like that my 97 is increasing in value. 😊
Styling wise most cars/trucks look like garbage these days. I had a gen 2 crv for thought it looked fairly solid apart from the front. I dread to think what cars will look like in the future
@@chrismario6371 Agreed on those 2nd gens though. I love the rear of them and the rest of the body looks solid but that front end just has the wrong geometry for me.
@@ccjohncc1 Selfish
@@ccjohncc1same here lol 😂
Offroading a CR-V... Makes sense when you consider the long road trips he's taking it on. He has probably passed quite a few broken down Jeep's. It's not the most capable SUV, but it makes up for it in efficiency and reliability. My 2004 CR-V has 257k and still runs great.
This guy gets it!
257k highway miles...
200k miles auto city drive
Glad to see I’m not the only one that uses mine. Oddly enough my 2000 crv has 258k on it as of today.
247k on my 2004 Wrangler. Only breakdown was when my son “somehow” cracked the bellhousing the tranny. The shop said he must’ve been jumping it. My wife’s Element is at 250k and it’s broken twice; once was a solenoid or switch or something associated with the alternator that the dealer fixed for free (it had 140k at the time) because it was Christmas and he wanted us to get home safely. Don’t recall what the other item was, but it was less than 10 minutes for the local garage to fix it and the part what around $30. I’d say both have been super reliable for me.
1st generation CRV is no joke. That thing is not to be underestimated. I just bought a 99 CRV manual transmission and going to do upgrades soon. Parts are cheap, durable and it’s easy to work on. Nice work man!
The auto does 30mpg if you baby it, what does the manual do?
keep it moving Not sure but the spec sheet says 22 city/25 highway but it certainly does better than that
@@anthonyemmm im based in UK , we pay £10 for a gallon of fuel. I had a yammaha r6 sport bike that did 30mpg had to sell it coz it wanted to kill me at every chance. I recently sold my CRV regrettable but couldn't afford the fuel stops every 5seconds plus after driving a little 1.3with vv-t was an eye opener
@@keepitmoving5440 my manual crv does 25 mpg average, but that is US mpg, so that's 30 mpg to you in imperial gallons.
All of the sudden I really want a Cr-v
All of a sudden I really want my crv back.
@@scunthorpe5513 same as in this video???
@@user-pl4op7zp5m not the one in the video, I had a crv back then, 2004.
Just bought one yesterday lol
Love my Y2K
The biggest testament i have for my rd1 is as follows, im 6 feet tall even, and with the seat laid down i can lay down comfortably and sleep in the back, makes fishing trips and camping a blast, just set up, and the you have a full functional table sitting in your trunk. Amazing.
I am currently overlanding in a 2001 CRV and have been everywhere with no problems. I've had plenty of big trucks and Jeeps yet this is the most reliable fun rig so far. Doing an interior build now and also beefing up struts ect. Awsome channel. 😎
I love my 2000 CRV so much. Theres just so much you can do with it. Ive had it 5 years now and just started adding things like my roof basket and light bars and I'm loving it. Wish I had done it sooner
Do you still have it? I have mine for 6 years now and love it
Absolutely love my 2006 CRV. Extremely reliable and great gas mileage. Has handled everything I've needed it to thus far, from carrying a full load of scientific research equipment and camping equipment on rough forest backroads to cruising around town getting groceries. Underrated and very capable vehicles, not to mention very low profile and grayman in almost any setting. I installed a lightbar behind the grille on mine in addition to some improved parts in the engine and some added luxuries in the cab. Fucking love Hondas.
You should add a lift kit to it! Or maybe a custom intake and of course some all terrain tires if u want to go all out
Love it I know there’s a lot more capable SUVs but I’ll always choose a rav4 or crv to get the job done, I’ll choose gas and reliability any day especially since I’m going off the beaten path but not rock climbing with it
Never saw anything quite like this-
Thanks 🤘
Super cool CRV! Mine is 2001 stock and I'm already having a lot of fun in it. Glad to see someone took it to another level.
I just bought a 2000 awd 5 speed çrv . I love it.
I offroad my crv a lot, and it does great lol I've flown down washed-out roads with no problem passing big ass trucks struggling. Idk how the little crv does it its a beast tho. The only problem I had offloading it was I banged up the brush bar when I didn't see a rock in this bush, but that wasn't anything to blame the car for.
Sweet ride I’ve wanted one of these for a while but wasn’t sure but the more I see more I like! I don’t need a “hard core” 4x4 but I do go places that I use 4x4 and a light suv would be awesome for my needs,gonna look for one hopefully I can find one in the retirement town close to me that some older person had and didn’t beat. Thanks man awesome stuff 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 thanks for your service also 👍🏿👍🏿
Awesome! Has some cool features, looks like lots of fun on a trail.
Wow that's an amazing build! Keep up the good work and you sir got me jdm street cred more than more!
Damn, dude. That's awesome. Well done.
great job! I just got a cr v and I'm going to set it up like this. Thanks for the ideas!
Love it.... Gave alot of inspiration for my build. Love my awd CRV.
Makes me happy to see other people who really enjoy their CRV, I have a white 2000 CRV.
They are so fun!
Dude! Very nice build!!! I can’t wait to start on our crv!
Beautiful! Glad you guys had a chance to hang out, it was great having Josh come by Arkansas and meet my wagon. Great dude! Hope to see you both soon!
Thanks Mr Dash! Good meeting you too
Very cool ! Definitely not many like that across the country !! Thanks for sharing this build with us
Thanks for checking it out, we appreciate your time!
Gorgeous & durable. Probably the best of the CR-V generation
Couldn't agree more!!
Could you explain more about switching out parts so the AWD engages more quickly? You mentioned it at minute 4.
Looks like my RD1, mine is lifted with HRG kit, big tires, basket, etc..
Got my snorkel coming...oh yeah 😁😁😁
ive got a 2003 model as my first car, 305k and its still going strong. not the most capable machine but it gets the job done and ive outdriven mates in navaras and such out on the tracks
👍
Well done, very nice build
I have 01. This was really cool to see how tactical it can become. I do like to camp, also I just like the ability to have those extras. Vary cool.
PokE_Cactus especially if you put steel off-road rims. That way if they get bent you. Can literally hammer them back in.
love his set up, all too often when you google, "1st gen Honda CR-V off road" it's overdone with a huge lift and just looks awkward given that the CR-V is a compact SUV, I appreciate his design
Dude this is goals for my RD1!!
Josh inspired me to spend my money lately for my CR-V too. 😁
Great off-road toy 🧸 thanks 🙏 for sharing
Had a 2005 crv. A peppy, reliable, cheap, fun car to drive. A beast in the snow with good tires. 215k miles and still going though the transmission jerks at low gears :(
Love this gen. Fun to drive and reliable.
I’m up at Big Bear Mountain in California right now. My 1997 CRV has no problem with snow an ice and I haven’t needed the snow chains yet.
However the CRV has a hard time climbing steep mountain roads.
Swap for a manual trans and use those gears to your advantage
Giving me so many ideas for my 06 crv
Very cool crv. Road warrior for sure.
great job! I love the power station ammo can!
Awesome build!
Crv looks awesome!
Excellent Vid! subscribed!
Frickin GOALS!
I've got a 2005 RT 4wd Element that is excellent offroad it's passed plenty of broken jeeps in it's day
Very nice! Safe travels.
I have a 01 stock , i only put a bigger size tyres and a home made towing bar. Runs like a bee.
I like what you did with yours. I have the same 2000 crv 5 speed. Same color and trim as yours. 250,000 miles and still runs great
When did you do timing belt service? - Sorry for the random question
Timing belts on these engines are recommended at every 100k. I changed mine and it had 230k on the original belt. You can see that video here. czcams.com/video/auKaiOKNOP0/video.html
That's actually pretty badass, the snorkel may be a little much for me since it's a crv but you definitely made it an adventure mobile.
👍
I like this setup. Thanks you
Bought a 5 speed RD1 AWD as my winter beater can’t wait to mod it in the spring this is inspiration!
Awesome!
Brother, for what you’re doing, and in a similar price range, you need a 3rd gen 4runner. It would be better in so many ways.
But I get it. The point is to build something unique. I really like the old cr-v’s. I had a second gen manual, and it was fun to drive.
Much more capable cars out there for sure but I'm a Honda guy!
@@pngailanboi I'm a honda guy too. We have an 05 accord V6, and I used to have an 03 cr-v. Honda and toyota all day. Honda makes the best 4 cylinder engines in the world, and as a brand is generally as reliable as toyota. Toyota is king for off road/overland category
MPG is over 21+ (my 2002 averages 23+) and parts are incredibly cheap. A complete front axle cost me $80 LOL
True but won’t get anywhere near the gas mileage lol
3rd gen 4 runners that come in a stick can cost an arm and a leg. And they stopped making the stick in 2000, and if you want an easy time passing smog, you a car past 2000. Basically, you need to find a 3rd gen 2000 4runner that's manual AND that's in not trash condition. Also, if you want a 6 cylinder one, it makes the search even harder.
Looks like fun!
Freaking beautiful my guy
Picked up one a few weeks ago. Love the car.
So fun and cool!
I have a 98 and I love it
nice--i like all the aftermarket things
this is amazing
awsome work done i love this
👍
This is a good off road CRV!
Yup...wheel base, heigt...all comes down to the tires..she'll go! Nice
Impressed with what your Crv can do ! Love my Honda !
I’m getting mine today ❤️❤️❤️
Nice!
That intro music is 🔥
🙏👍
Love my 98!
Awesome build! My suggestion is don't put more lift, just get bigger tires. I absolutely love my RD1 CR-V, one of the most brilliant, well thought out vehicles I've ever owned, and I wheel it all the time.
How big can you go on stock suspension?
@@whyisthisnottyping there's debate on that, and it partially depends how old and saggy your springs are, which a lot of them are uber saggy now. I believe, assuming you don't have saggy springs, you can safely run 215/75/15 on stock suspension. I currently run a 2" hrg lift kit on fresh struts with a 1/4" engine drop, and I'm running 235/75/15. After a little bit of trimming and bashing in the wheel wells, it has almost no rubbing unless you really heavily load it with gear.
@@WhiteCavendish thx
I love off-road crv’s!
2003 AWD CRV here, 235k and runs like a top. Would love to do some light offloading and camping with it. This build is awesome!
I love 2nd gens too. They look so good with some wheels and a lift
That's an amazing build, good catch John!
people dont understand that when they are thinking about purchasing an off road vehicle, these old 4x4 crvs and escapes can do over %90 percent of any offroading. Like jeeps are great but people rarely will ever use its potential, subarus are great but can be quickly limiting once off fire roads, but these early 2000's are in the goldilocks zone of capability and practicality. my 2001 ford escape without lift literally has just as much clearance as most trucks, all independent suspension, reasonable fuel economy, can sleep two inside and enough space to stick a kayak in with everything closed (without people inside of course). I would imagine its the same with this generation of crv. Also its worth noting that if you like to travel to mexico to camp and what-not, these older SUVs are plentiful down there so you are more likely to obtain any service or parts.
Very insightful, I love it!!!
Lol 90%
More like 50% or less. And that's being modest
My. God. You're my inspiration to becoming a legit Asian. I was never a car guy, but your mods have done me in lol. My mom/sister bought a 2011 FWD Honda CRV and as much as I love it, I would've loved the AWD version.
Awesome!! 😁
You can go adventuring with anything you want. I lifted my 2013 CRV with some DIY metal platforms. The AWD system is not the greatest. But if I keep the momentum I have no problems going anythig. The AWD in mine uses an electric pump instead of the two pump set up. For snow and sand its great. Overall I love my CRV cause of how unique it is to go offroading with it.
Not the greatest but gets the jod done!
@@pngailanboi its part of what makes it more fun!
this video doesn't have all the fancy videography stuff, but very enjoyable to watch for some reason! good work!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
This EXACTLY the setup I am trying to go for
👍
So happy im buying a crv next week
I am too!
I've got a 99, was so impressed and inspired, my daughter named mine Janky ( compared to her new car) this is what mine wants to be next, that's the goal anyway! Same color to boot.
Awesome, going to add some parts to mine to make it a lot more off-road capable!
@garage built hondas
do a full build vid on your crv
I can bet Janky will be on the Road long After her "new car" will be 🤟🏼😂
Really cool!
Awesome I love it
terima kasih sudah berbagi!
Translation?
@@GarageBuiltHondas thank you for sharing!
Your crv is cool 👍.. I would like to know more about the rear brake conversion if you can make a video on that be great
He left the info in the video. It's a pretty straightforward process with the correct parts. 👍
Sweet reminds me of my 4wd V6 rav4 I had lifted and would camp out of
I got a CRV ‘04 had it for 8 months now got it from Nevada in pristine condition 175k miles no problems at all was one owner elderly lady, im planning to do something similar to my rig. very informal video
Nice, I like the 2nd gens too. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
My mall runner crv has never been so jealous
I like this. I have a '03 Highlander V6 4WD. Love to set it up like this
Do it!
Dude, I fucking LOVE this!!! I have an all original 97' CR-V, and it just lives in beastmode...300,000+ miles and going strong. Had to have the trany rebuilt in 07' but that's it. I would love to refurbish my car like this. But really, I just want to overhaul the motor and drivetrain, maybe turbo charge it, which I hear can be done to great effect. What's that CR-V group you're talking about? I need to be a part of that, cause I worship the ground this vehicle treads on son
might have to pick one of these up for a mountain car if my 02 forester s ever dies.
Nice car👍👍👍
Semper Fi brother
Awesome
Crv camping love it ❤❤❤🚚🚛
I miss the simple barebones, reliable cars
Great vehicles the first gens. My wife’s has 368K miles, sounds kind of rough, but still drives really well
Nice, that's a ton of miles!
I'm sure its something simple to service to get rid of the noise
I have a 99 CRV and I love it. It’s a great car for what it is: an all weather grocery getter.
All of these mods are pretty much a waste of money. Cold air intake? 1” lift? Rear disk brakes? Fog lights? Need bars? Don’t need any of that. It still isn’t 4x4 with locking differential, still doesn’t have low. Won’t handle mud like a real 4x4. Just enough of a bump to get you truly stuck. I doubt any of these modified CRV’s would do any better than a stock one.
Before getting any of that cosmetic crap get a winch to pull yourself out of trouble.
I do like the roof basket, jerry can holder, storage box. Those are nice camping additions.
The beauty of modifying cars, do what makes you happy.
What a nice tool car.
I also have an RD1 1999 I love it but it needs alot of work.
Cool cool Jeep 👍🏼
😁
excellent
This is a really nice set up bro. Im looking to get a crv and doing this.
👍
@@GarageBuiltHondas I picked up a 99.
Nice crv I'm waiting on my tires n I be set for my lifted crv
Sweet!
Anywhere anytime HONDA for life!!
Nice. I want one but in Army green
The stock Cypress Green first generation CR-Vs came in looks pretty good.
Just picked up a manual rd1 cr-v
oleyella85 thanks plan on keeping it long term project. Plan on making videos on it once winter is through here in Nj
