Could still do a basic 3 inch lift and better wheels/tires. My crv is 2wd with basic all season tires and it will still go places. Can also buy a wrecked awd and swap the trans drive line and rear subframe over. A winch also will get you a lot of awkward places. Reverse is also your friend with fwd. really it’s good for fast trails and light mud/big puddles. I love splashing around in mine. Never underestimate what a 2wd can do. Just build it right and stay within its limits!
@@stormmccree8238oh i agree with you she is a beast with the 1.5 inch lift and no subframe drops or anything. Also ive bought an awd 2002 since and been looking for thr right time to transfer all upgrades over from my 05.
@@tomasashenafi882 the 2002 is the 2nd gen right? With the K series? I specifically love the first generation crv looks wise. Also the B20 is easy to work on and mod.
@@stormmccree8238 yep. 02-06 are 2nd gen with the timeless ivetc 2.4. But the 05-06 has all the modern perks including a 5 speed automatic. Too bad my mom chose a fwd lx back in 2007. The 02 is a lot like the 1st gen with a light build. Mine only has 81k.
I have a 1998 CR-V and I felt it so hard when you said “it’s a 98 so it’s got an ugly dash” lol, even worse is mine is the LX model from that year but it’s only got 88k miles!
I would like to install long travel suspension due to our road surface kinda rough. Like a baja CR V. Thanks for the video by the way, gives me planty of idea.
ok NEED the specs on that stereo!!! i have to replace mine in my truck and in my CR-V and I dig that one! also can you fill me in on the armrest situation, my wifes ONLY issue with our cr-v is that she doesnt have an arm rest.
I search through junk yards for arm rests the bolt threads are there you jusy need the arm rest and bracket. And its jusg an andriod radio off ebay from china for 80$
I broke one axle when i had the 32s. (My fault not the cars) Ive blown a rear diff when being pulled from a ditch in the snow. Grenaded as soon as the back tire found pavement. And yeah there isnt a regearing option for me unfortunately. So im going to pick up the head today to start building a high comp turbo engine to make up for that.
i wrote honda rescue garage a couple times now and never got a response. maybe its just my horrible luck... i want to lift my 91 integra and need to know what parts to buy
I don't have nothing like that.....but did put an HRG 2" lift on my 2003. Tires are 235/75's and I have an axle vibration that is driving me nuts. I already put the 1" subframe drop in it too. Any ideas?
Nurm Presto yo! Just buy one! Drivers side is the exact same as passenger side, and the seat has accomodation for mounting it. It’s waiting for it. I did it, it didnt take but a minute or two!
Just gotta know its limitations and drive it off the clutch as much as possible but offroading is hard on it i smoke the clutch out on stops on inclines but it is what it is. I have fun beating on it.
Yo bro I had a question I did a stock suspension 2inch lift 2 in trailing arm spacer but in the rear when I’m driving on freeway and I run into a dip my car swerves from left to right like if I’m loosing control what could that issue be would really appreciate your help
Dude how is the transmission holding up? I’ve got a lifted 2001. Not as lifted and not as big as tires but it does have a rack ram bars instead of a bumper lol I feel the trans starting to slip a bit some I’m wondering how yours is holding up. What would you do if your trans did go out? I’m thinking of a beefed up automatic for comfort but might go 5 speed if it simply doesn’t make sense to build an auto.
I made them, but I dont sell the 3 inch drop kit cause its a little too involved. The 2 inch kit is what i reccomend to most people since it doesnt require extended spindles anx its much easier to install.
How do the QA1 springs compare to stock springs as far as overall length. Im looking at OME springs which I believe will give a 1.75 lift....but Im not sure about their spring rate. I like to explore the desert out by Barstow/Mojave. My biggest issue is bottoming out the suspension on whoops and catching some rocks on the trail. So what I really need is higher spring rate and just a slight lift. I kinda fell into using this thing (I usually take my Duramax) and searched for solutions out of necessity.
Never had ome springs so i couldnt tell you how they stack up or if the qa1 springs will give you a lift by themselves since ive never tried. They went on the same time as the flipped top hats and the bigger spacers. So im not sure if they give amy lift over factory just by themselves on a stock top hat/shock setup.
Slightly. The tires are to the sides of the subframe, so going over something flat, like a hilltop, you will still have the gained clearance for approach, departure, and breakover angles. You also need the subframe drop for a larger tire, and the larger tire gives back some/most of the clearance lost to the subframe drop.
I'm so jelly, dude manage to stuff 34s' on a CRV. I have only........33s' on my lifted 4Runner. Struggle is real ! I bet the engine on that Honda with them big ass tires screams like a chicken on take off ! Kool build though.
The old tired b20 doesnt like it, but it does everything I ask of it. Its getting a built turbo engine within the next few months to help, I really need a gear reduction though. Too bad thats not an option.
So would you recommend deleting the sway bars I've broken 2 passenger front end links in about 6 months but. Both times was due to some rough terrain it makes lots of noise wen one breaks even though it's not a big deal and the parts are not very expensive but it's a pain to keep replacing would it ruin my daily drivability if I just deleted it all together ?
Steering rack drops with the su frame on a first gen, so there is no bump steer. Second gens have the rack mounted to the fire wall, so if i dropped the subframe on that 3 inches i would have an incredible amount of bump steer. Plus first gens just look better imo. 🤷♂️
@@MrMarkchu yeah, but they modify them to go fast, they dont need as short of a gear ratio as i do. The crv trans actually has a shorter first gear than even the b16 transmission.
The volume is SO BAD. That intro freaked out my fiance and dog and scared the shit out of me. I have my speakers at 20% dude. Edit: The V looks cool though. Glad I accidentally clicked this a second time tonight and skipped past the intro.
Never said it was a serious off roader. I actually said "its the stance car of the offroad world." But never a jeep. If anything a landcruiser will be the next offroad build. This was just a fun daily driver/camper. 👍
I get to see this CRV often and the video does it no justice on actually how high it is. Jake has mad fab and wrenching skills. It definitely takes a creative visionary with patience and planning to come up with a one of a kind set up like this!!! Great work!!!
Did you upgrade the lower ball joints? Freaking stock ball joints are too small for even a stock set up it seems. It would be awesome to bullet proof everything, then beef it up!
No the problem everyone has is they cheap out and get shit parts. I run oem ball joints and keep up with my car. They've never failed me even going airborne a bunch of times. I snapped the rear trailing arm off the chassis and snapped them in half before hurting a ball joint.
Keep the content coming man! The baddest crv on the internet right now hands down. Do you think its possible to stack the hrg spacers? Imagine running two 3 inch spacers per side in the front and two 3.5 or 4 inch spacers in the back. Be able to run 38s then probably.
You could stack spacers, but i would be much more comfortable calling hrg and asking for a custom sized spacer. The issue youll run into is with the arms getting out of alignment with each other and causing deathwobble. Havent began to look into going higher than i currently am while still retaining the oem resr trailing arm setup. If i go any higher it will get a solid axle rear, and long travel ifs.
Very nice. Mines still a work in progress. I did want to tell you I added a solar panel with extra battery(2 now) and a 4,000 watt power inverter. That stuff gets used more than I had expected .
Dude, this is the most beastly crv I’ve ever seen
Thank you! 🤙

Hey, that’s pretty intense but awesome build. What’s your fuel economy with your old 32 and these 34?
That arm rest.

Nice tint the windows.
Eventually
Badass man! Awesome build!!! 😁
Sweet! Is that a s2000 wheel? Does the airbag work?
Yes and yes, plug and play.
So badass!
There's only one other hard core CR-V i've seen and it's in Taiwan. It's really a CR-V body on a Jeep CJ or YJ chassis with a V8 in it...
Yeah, he and i are friends on facebook its a cool build for sure
Great work! It's a shame you can't get gears to make it all worthwhile. How does your clutch hold up without exploding?
Just gotta know its limitations and drive it off the clutch as much as possible but offroading is hard on it i smoke the clutch out on stops on inclines but it is what it is. I have fun beating on it.
Any way you came update the links for the snorkel and filter
nice car

Cool kar man.
Do have a link for the rear suspension extensions??
have you had any issues with lower ball joints??
No, i havent. I use oem honda ball joints and i keep an eye on all my suspension. I check it often. Especially if you hear any noise that isnt normal.

Would the tru hart upper control arms give enough camber adjustments on a2 inch lift kit?
How much did you have to extend your steering u joint with the 3" subframe drop?
Loving this build. Do you feel like it's improved the off-road capabilities a bit?
That's kinda obvious. Bigger tires an more lift means better offroad
@@Jacobtheunwise Big tires mean you lose your off-road gearing. Not a huge deal IF you have a great crawl ratio. This doesn't
LOVE IT 💘
Where can i get the same set up as your crv..sub frame drop
I made them, but I dont sell the 3 inch drop kit cause its a little too involved. The 2 inch kit is what i reccomend to most people since it doesnt require extended spindles anx its much easier to install.
How is it on gas’s with the 34s?

I dont know how it would handle with stock springs and no sway bar. I had stiffer springs when i removed mine.
How is the gas mileage with the lift and tires?
If I did a 2 inch spring lift would I need to do the subframe drop?
No you shouldnt need it
I know the struggle of being color blind
Looks Good but also looks like to much work for most folk!
why first gen in particular? why not second gen
Steering rack drops with the su frame on a first gen, so there is no bump steer. Second gens have the rack mounted to the fire wall, so if i dropped the subframe on that 3 inches i would have an incredible amount of bump steer. Plus first gens just look better imo. 🤷♂️
Did you change the final drive ratio?
Nope, no one makes a shorter final or even a shorter gear stack. Kinda sucks.
@@beefybuilt488 That's surprising... Considering how many people modify Civics?
@@MrMarkchu yeah, but they modify them to go fast, they dont need as short of a gear ratio as i do. The crv trans actually has a shorter first gear than even the b16 transmission.
