Looks really clean. I dont own a CRV but have appreciation for all the time and effort you have invested. Thanks for sharing with us on KZread

Holey moley, you've done a full on job there with the kit. Lot's of mods. It started life as an EK Civic on stilts from the factory an now it's literally on stilts. It certainly looks cool, and not something you see everyday.

It's beautiful. I have a Hr-v myself from the same gen and with the same 4wd system. It's actually really good in snow.

Thanks for making this video. I grew up in California but I moved back to the UK to be with my family. I have a 1997 RD1 and I convinced my dad to buy a 1999 RD2 with an auto to manual swap. Thanks also for mentioning the Freelander coupler I'll have to look into that. I spent some time building Chevy muscle cars but I never thought I'd enjoy working on Honda's so much.

excelent video! I like the ending and couldn't agree more. Looking forward to your trips, love those as well.

Wicked cool video man! love seeing everything you've done to it and all the information. Like that detail on the napa axles, I've read about lifting crvs a lot and never heard that. Didn't feel too long to me. subscribed

Excellent video. You really have put some proper thought and work into this build. Love to see it.

Thank you for the kind words!

God the axles look so much better!!! Great job on the vid man.

The video was not too long, that was great. The VC setup looks amazing.

Just bought these same tires and received them today and clicked this vid by random and have to say I like the look of them on the CRV and I didn't even have to install yet.

Dude. That is a SWEET looking CRV! Subscribed for the look of your CRV alone!! I'm not a mechanic, but I'm learning! Just bought my son a 97 CRV with the 3" HRG lift, but I don't think they installed the drop kit, as the wobble is terrible at low speeds and turning. I'm looking at buying the drop kit, but I'm a little scared to tackle the install...althoughyou said it's easy, and I HAVE watched HRG's install video as well...KZread vids ALWAYS look easier than when I attempt things! HA!! Thanks for the video!! Looking forward to more!

Great looking crv! Looks like a lot of fun thanks for the vid👍

Very nice job of cr-v

Excellent video thanks

Nice CR-V! I have one from Georgia (I live in Maine), sadly only FWD but completely rust free. It can go more places than my car can. They are definitely fun, and just plain neat. It's a shame Honda ventured so far from the CR-V's original image.

answered lots of my questions

Thank you for sharing the knowledge! I used to take my RD1 offroading and I would hate to hear that howling sound in the sand. The CR-V is designed off of the EK sedan, when you look in the engine bay you can see it. The reason it never will be a jeep is like you said. Honda acknowledged this when they designed and built the car. They said that they wanted to have a compact SUV that people could drive like a car, hence most CR-V are FWD. It was a very clever way to spend money. Though the CR-V is fun I never recommend them for offloading due to the lack of torque and the very finicky RT4WD system.

Outro perfectly says it all..build for yourself!!

FANTASTIC Video! I very much have decided to do this, just trying to decide between the 3" ultimate and 4" ultimate kits. So I'm while I'm working on the mechanical parts list, the wife wants to know where you got the side graphics. She saw the CRV ones on ebay, but liked yours more. Yours is such a clean build. great job with the Honda.

Alot of the information you need can be had from the CR-V group on Facebook and also the Performance Hondas Facebook group. These modifications are covered in alot of detail these days with how popular they have become. I have several civic wagon here that I've been buying over the years to fix up. My main project car is a RT4WD Civic Wagon. I'm not familiar with the Land Rover Freelander viscous stuff as I have personally never messed with any of them. You can find most of what you need off ebay if you wanted to. And the only Element diff that is stronger is a the 08-11 Element.

That's nice I like it 😊✌️👍

did you notice a big improvement from the front strut brace? Nice CRV!

What size lift spacers did you use on the back? I don’t want my crv to be higher on the back… Good video great info thanks!

Nice

Look nice

Nice video and explicación I have a question I just buy a block spacers on eBay 3 inches do I have to buy all the 1 in 1/2 inches spacers do I have to remplece something out thank you

Looks amazing, but its so much you gotta do to lift 🤯 I know how to lower cars, but lifting is a whole other game. I have a civic that I use mainly like a track build so lowered. Recently got a 2000 crv awd and want to lift it,but seeing this has me mind blown.

its not complicated if you wanna do 2 inch lift,anything bigger and it is more complicated

Can you give us a list of the parts used apart from the drop kit and spacers. Link to the axles etc. My rd1 came with 4x114 rotors on 15s.

Hello. great video. If i lift my crv with the 1" inch kit i have to make all this stuff?

Do you have a link for the front uppet control, like the specific part number that works with a 1999 crv?

How much trimming required for the adjustable toe kit? As I had a slight issue with my toe adjustment...

Hey, love the build! Quick question. I'm considering getting the OME spring/ Bilstein combo. Do i need to worry about the adjustable links for the trailing arms with keeping the lift minor? I didnt know if thats only something to worry about once you drop the subframe.

@pngailanboi

3 жыл бұрын

You won't be able to get it back in to exact oem spec with anything more than 1 inch of lift. I would recommend adjustable upper control arms and adjustable toe arms. Getting your alignment back in spec is important for your tire wear and makes sure you can drive it straight down the road!

I like it i have a 2001 i just want a small lift and bigger wheels thats it ill be happy with that .

I wish your my best friend,, and your here in my place then your helping me to do the same with my crv hehehe just imagining,, nice crv,, hope I can meet someone that can help me do that in my crv,,

Nice CRV! A couple of questions about improving performance; are the Bilstein Struts and Siberian RTA bushings a better upgrade than any other brands especially with energy suspension bushings? Is the viscous coupler a must in improving drivability/reliability with the RD1s? I am not looking to off-road the car at all maybe here and there sometimes but never a long trip off-road not longer than an hour tops. I have many more questions to ask about improvements recommended to do but here is just a couple of them for now. Thank you for sharing I look forward to more videos 👍🏽

Do not consider the viscous coupler as an upgrade if you only use it for light Offroading or trails since you won't see much gain for what you need. Keep it how it is and do all your maintenance and fluids and it'll be just fine.

Where did you buy the nerf bars

Where do you buy the brake line

Where is your front Sway Bar?

Have you experienced any wobble after hitting bumps? I’ve lifted my rd1 about 4 inches and I’m getting a crazy sway after hitting dips at highway speeds. Waiting on rear upper camber arms to come in, notices bushings were a little worn, any info would help!
