I have the same year and same colour Crv. I bought it at 98,000 miles and now I have 298,000 miles. I have to say that this car lasted longer than my last marriage....as well as with no problems. I bought a 2010 crv but still love my 2002. Beautiful Car man!
Love the CRV! Have owned same 2006 CR-V for around 17 years and finally came to the conclusion that I am keeping it for life! But I want to customize it up to my dream .... lift it, bigger tires/wheels, lightbar, fog lights, tune up the engine, etc.! In short anything and everything I can upgrade! I don't want a super expensive new off-road vehicle. I want the vehicle I love to be a better off-road friend!
That just kills me to see this gorgeous CRV and then hear "Front wheel drive". The AWD isn't amazing, but after everything you've done to it man... damn. Anyway, looks fantastic.
Most people never take their CRV’s off road. Front wheel drive only is more than adequate for bad driving conditions with better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs. I love my 2006 Honda CRV EX front wheel drive. One of the most practical vehicles on the road.
@@sachemrock I agree everything has it's pros and cons, but this vehicle looks like it would be a great off-road rig (minus rock crawling and tough terrain that needs a locking diff)
@@aaronjohnson8715 the AWD is pretty killer on hazardous roads like rain, snow ice and even dirt. It does have some good clearance as well but I would never take it rock crawling, that is asking for trouble.
Mr Johnson...I took mines to cleghorn here in Cali. Jeep guys were stunned I was doing some of the trails with ease. It's an underdog yet came out the other end of the trail with no problem.. AMAZING vehicle... ✌🏻
You have done all that I want to do to my 2005 CR-V. It looks just awesome! Would it be too much trouble to ask if you could please add the links to where you got the parts. I know you mention them, but you would be doing a solid to us CR-V brothers. Again, your CR-V looks EXCELLENT! Love everything about it. I wish I know how to do all that stuff myself. I will need to take it to someone. Having the part on hand will help out a lot.
Was just gifted an old assed 2005, 2nd engine,about 700,000 on od, hit one moose,2 deer,rears rotted out..Did some work,got her safety inspection sticker,now You made me wanna spend more money !lol, least its a free project... Thanks!!
And here I am another somewhat new CR-V owner I think 6 months now, and trying to do what everyone does. Sound ram air intake. (Hot😂) lift, tires, exhaust. Headlight, bumper, cargo. Lol. And I've been through quite a few different guys doing this and I love every single one of them and I need all the info and tips I can use to prepare. Got an 03' ex
I have a 2003, Explorer. Same color as your beautiful Honda, When I saw your video, I said that’s awesome, You gave me the actual look of what I want my truck to look like. Thank you very much my friend. Happy trails.
the 05 and 06 are the same but have a 5 speed auto instead of the 4 speed, makes the power a lot more useable. my 05 has 260,000 miles on it and gets 26 mpg every tank.
I must admit, I had a super clean silver first gen, and I bought coilovers and I lowered it on TSX 17, the day before I sold it I raised it, and I liked it, yours is super clean too!!! Great Job Mate!
Im 5'11" with back issues and im finding it really difficult to get comfortable in the drivers seat of my 03 CRV. Anybody else have this issue or advice pertaining? Fantastic video and CRV, im very impressed. Ive made a few modifications to my CRV. I added a roof basket to it and mount 4 KC lights above its wind visor. I dont recommend that modification. I have clearance issues in parking structures, garages, etc. Im pretty sure I took a fat hit to gas mileage too, im down to just 18.5 mpg combine, unbelievable for a 4 cylinder Honda with a part time AWD system. I cut the fog light inserts out and added factor fitting fog lights. Biggest thing was I swapped out all 5 of the 205/70 tires for some 215/70 Geolander tires and do 5 way tire rotations so if a tire has a catastrophic failure I dont have to replace all 4 at once, at least for the first blowout. I wanted to lift mine and go bigger with the tires but im not confident in my ability to do all that work nor am I trying to find and pay a mechanic to do all that for a CRV. Generally the mechanics I talk to absolutely despise modified hondas so I cant even imagine finding one that's excited to do this work to a CRV even with the money attached. The amount of work you did to get the suspension geometry right, i'm blown away. Very impressive man, absolutely professional. I just thought all lifted CRV's had to have camber and geometry compromises. Not even! Thanks for the thorough video.
5'11 also, no problems in the driver's seat but I do have to stoop sometimes to get a good view of what's ahead going into a right turn (wife also got me a large rear view mirror dash cam setup that straps over the original mirror so that adds some bulk). If I were to bring up any discomforts, I suppose it could use a little lower back support; I had a heated seat cover last winter that added a little support and that was comfy.
Well that is one great looking CRV !. You have done a super job of fixing it up!. Congrats on a nice find, I don`t think you will ever find a cleaner 2004.
maybe so but on the DC Sports SRI the cone filter is fitted above the transmission. I've seen guys hook up snorkels though so theoretically it could be forded.
You actually care that you were blinding people? I wish everyone was that considerate. Every truck or SUV in my city has its lights aimed directly into your retinas. Its greatly magnified when they are behind you, because they get so close as if they are trying to hump my bumper.
Looks good I would just throw on some fender flares and maybe some nice off road lights up front.. oh and don't forget the EBC brake pads and some crossdrilled/slotted rotors 👍🍺
I think a set of side step bars will complete your set up. The bull bars made it look so aggressive, which I like. It's like the fast and furious of off-road vehicles.
Dude, that looks totally badass. I have an 03 and don't know shit about lifting. Can you list all you bought to lift yours so a can be a power and just buy the stuff?
My older brother has the exact same car, but 2003 with a few mods done to it. Same color and everything. His is completely straight piped and he also has a cold air intake. He has a subwoofer in the back with a backup camera and a screen in the front.
Nice ride. Get yourself some sound dampening in those doors and it will get rid of a lot of road noise. I did my entire crv for under 100$. Made a big difference
I'm about to get this gen CR-V (I'm looking now for AWD) I've seen a couple of videos of Modded CR-V's. I like what you have done and will reference it when the time comes to upgrade the one I do end up buying!
Gorgeous build, that interior is MINT. One thing I noticed, I think the passenger front door was replaced. It's missing the pin-stripping that the rest of the car has, and the fitment next to the rear passenger-side door is a little off. But damn dude, looks excellent!
I have a 2006 awd auto. honda makes nice motors. im happy with my crv. hauls the groceries over the hills well enough. kids have enough room in the back too. I bought black steel winter rims, they look good enough. It's under powered on the highways, it would be nice to have a v6. The TCS is annoying when youre trying to have a little fun in the dirt or snow. I wouldn't spend any money on upgrades, but window visors might help prevent the windows from fogging in the rain, other than that I'd rather spend my extra money to buy a 2 seater from the 90's for track day...
Looks super good! I bought the same tires a few days ago & will be doing a aerogenics 1.5” lift when I replace my struts & control arms. Went with 8mm spacers for all 4. All external lighting is getting upgraded to LEDs Love your headlights too! Mine are similar but not projectors.
Sweet. It looks great. I have the same year. I wondet what the cabin noise is like with that tire wheel set-up. I have some bighorn tires on mine and its super loud on the highway lol
it looks awesome dude, I have a 2005 CR-V same color, ,, yours is very very clean, and those bumpers nice a black , mine are just like faded and im trying to clean them up but they fade back again,, awesome man
A cold air intake does not have the filter in the engine bay directly next to the exhaust mani sucking in all the heat lol.......looks amazing regardless!
I don’t like the second generation ones as much as RD1 and especially not the grey. I saw one locally that looked fantastic, and this looks amazing too! Well done!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hows the paint?
Hell Nah LMFAO "longer than my last marriage" hahaha
😐🤣🤣🤣
An old guy told me 45 years ago if it's got tits or tires you're going to have trouble with it.
That is the most beautiful CRV I have seen thus far. Makes me want to keep mine I have the same color.
Same here. I am gonna delay selling it now😂
I bought a 2003 cars 3,200.00 when all done bust paid off suv purchased ever no complaints
@skankhunt42 haha I bet your life sucks tho
Damn keep it if its AWD
I have same colour too
this video stopped me from selling my 04' cr-v and looking for a new car.
🤣🤣
I got to admit that with the lift, the stance is more appealing

Awesome video man. I've had my 03 CR-V for a month now and you're the first person I've seen mention the 1" drop kit. Thanks for that little gem.
same for me, I'm just looking to see if it's available in the UK
Thinking the same.
@@johnwhittle.22 Did you find anything?
@@sarfios nothing as good as this unfortunately, eBay had some things but that’s all I’ve found in 🇬🇧
dude hockey pucks?! sweet save bro. that’s so smart
Hockey pucks are great for spacers. Pick up truck guys use them as body lift spacer lol

a car that is still trendy in the city and fierce in the mountains..
The most impressive thing to me is your ingenious use of hockey pucks! Gorgeous car! This was the best CRV body style ever.
I am about to buy an '04, same color but it's a 5-speed manual and AWD. You gave me some GREAT ideas. I have been indecisive until now. Thank YOU!!
Greetings with fellow CRV users..legendary car that is in great demand until now

Ok, ill have admit. This must be the coolest CRV 😎 .
Love the way it looks with those wide wheels.
I love the look with the lift. 2wd is okay less maintenance and less moving parts to go wrong.

Those interiors hold up really well. My 04 has 350,000 miles and interior is mint
Is the Interior leather or fabric? I see a lot of crv leathers cracking
@@lel3450 it's cloth
the 05 and 06 are the same but have a 5 speed auto instead of the 4 speed, makes the power a lot more useable. my 05 has 260,000 miles on it and gets 26 mpg every tank.
Tastefully done cr-v. Very unique vehicle. 👍🏾
That’s awesome, Want to fix up my explorer the same way, more or less. You did an amazing job.
Haha our crvs look the same! If you haven't already, you should run a line of silicone glue on the seems of those depo lights. They like to get foggy.
I must admit, I had a super clean silver first gen, and I bought coilovers and I lowered it on TSX 17, the day before I sold it I raised it, and I liked it, yours is super clean too!!! Great Job Mate!

Well that is one great looking CRV !. You have done a super job of fixing it up!. Congrats on a nice find, I don`t think you will ever find a cleaner 2004.
I just got one today.
Complete eye candy, of cool stuff. CRV rocks.
Wish you would have listed everything in the description.
Good lookin CR-V
This is the best Honda CRV I seen so far.
That CRV is just beautiful. I will buy a 2nd gen, will be my first SUV.
Wow looks awesome, I’ve just bought a 2006 CR-V sport the same colour as yours, you’ve done a great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i love rolling up in my crv in the australian alps , everyone has fully customised patrols and landcruisers ,yet my crv will zip around just as well ,
I love mine on the beaches in west oz it literally just sits on too of the sands 😂
Wouuuuu what aaaaaaa beautiful 😍 CRV, thank you for sharing this beautiful baby, now I know what's my next project car...❤
🇲🇽 🇺🇸 God bless you 🙏 ❤️
This build is too clean!! I really wanna buy an old crv and mod it just like this!
I have the same CRV, but its AWD 5 speed.... Absolute Awesome Auto....excellent job on the complete lift kit.
Cold air intake bad idea if you go on dirt or off road they let more particulates than any filter (check the test project farm did)
maybe so but on the DC Sports SRI the cone filter is fitted above the transmission. I've seen guys hook up snorkels though so theoretically it could be forded.
Not a cold air if it is open to engine heat
@@brianchisnell1548 yeah he's drawing in hotter air vs a stock air box
Scotty Kilmer made me think about getting this car.. this video convinced me to do it
Love it, looks great. Wish you had cranked it, so we could hear mods you mentioned for better sound.
You actually care that you were blinding people? I wish everyone was that considerate. Every truck or SUV in my city has its lights aimed directly into your retinas. Its greatly magnified when they are behind you, because they get so close as if they are trying to hump my bumper.
Gorgeous ride! I love it.
I bought my 03,with 100,000 miles,now has 150,000 and still going strong.
Beautiful truck with a touch ruggedness you can't find in newer crossovers.
Looks good I would just throw on some fender flares and maybe some nice off road lights up front.. oh and don't forget the EBC brake pads and some crossdrilled/slotted rotors 👍🍺
Wow-what a very nice well done Honda CR-V that's a keeper
Love this set up so much! Do you think you could give us links to where you purchased everything?
Wow I’ve just bought a 2006 CR-V sport same colour as yours ( petrol ), you’ve done a great job well done.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That stance looks real nice
I think a set of side step bars will complete your set up. The bull bars made it look so aggressive, which I like. It's like the fast and furious of off-road vehicles.
Thanks for showing me Aerogenics, I've been looking for a good place to buy accessories for the CR-V.
I just got a 2006 CR-V 4WD. You've given me some great ideas.
Dude, that looks totally badass. I have an 03 and don't know shit about lifting. Can you list all you bought to lift yours so a can be a power and just buy the stuff?
Just got a 2002 today to use as a beater. Yours is clean.
Nice clean machine! I used to have an Element (AWD). They use a lot of the same parts. Great taste on this one!
Beautiful rig man. Would love to have heard it run!

I have an black 04 and this video is giving me sooooo much inspiration for what yo do to mine but I want to black mine all the way out! Beautiful car!
Man this CRV is perfection.
sweet ride, definitely. Good job with the mods
Nice looking CRV and thanks for sharing the upgrades
Wish I knew more about cars so I could do this to mine
The Honda cr-v is noob level, you can work on it.
It's easy dood, gotta start somewhere. Grab some wrenches, watch some videos and giver. Things like headlights and bulbs are easy way to begin!
Learn brother. Knowledge is power! Chrisfix and Donut media are some great channels to learn from.
Very nice job on that CR-V really clean and on a budget
Nice ride. Get yourself some sound dampening in those doors and it will get rid of a lot of road noise. I did my entire crv for under 100$. Made a big difference

on my 05 you can aim the stock headlights with a couple screws, high and low beams, but honestly I like yours better.
nice job keep those wheels best ive seen on a crv yet

I had same issue with bull bar!. Great idea! But your also using one part of the mounting bracket I notice.
I got a 2002 crv awd manual I’m trying to give it that look 👍
170,000 miles. You’ve nearly finished the running in period. Mine has around 190k but I road tested one that’s done nearly 300k.
Old model CRV still well preserved
