Hey Jake Wanted to thank you for this and all your vids. They are super helpful and have really helped me not only to decide on doing a lot of these things myself but where to get the upgrades, too! You and Josh Wolff have not only inspired but helped everyone else learn about, and avoid making, costly repairs or at the least to do the upgrades so as not to break in the middle of nowhere! I will never be ballsy enough to go places with my CRV like you but will definitely be confident to do the light trails for camping and playing in the snow! I am truly grateful for all of your efforts!
Clips at the end really make it clear how different the diff locks up, night and day. Immediately spins with the front it looks like 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 can't wait to start getting mind sorted now
Now that is what I need on my 2000 CRV out here in Iowa. Looks like rust isn't to big a problem out your way like it is here in the rust belt. Cool video and thank you for helping me out deciding weather or not to upgrade. My Crv goes great through the snow but I know it can do better.
I honestly haven't really done to much with the crv. Been too focused on my 240sx and fell off when It came to filming and editing. I do want to get back to it this year. And honestly this comment is super cool, thank you for your concern haha but I'm OK just lazy 😅 I've talked about doing a winch on the crv this year so look forward to that before offroad season starts!
Next time heat up the aluminum case with propane torch, then drill with a left hand drill bit. Sharpen the bit with high relief angles so it grabs and hopefully it grabs and since it’s turning left will back out the screw
That's awesome. Thanks for the info. I have recently started modding my 03 crv. This would be a great addition of I take it that far.....and learn to weld :)
you guys should just engeer a sliding clutch for the rear diff to make it a cable actuated part time 4wd case, that would be better off road and simpler than the conversion.
so if you just swapped the clutch pads for the clutch delete kit you showed, would the vehicle handle fine as a 4x4 or are these pads also taking the role of the center diff and this would only lead to stress un the drive train/ chassis?
Hey you seem knowledgeable for this one. My 2002 5spd awd crv has a 2 inch ish lift and keeps eating front driver axle.... is there an axle that can swap in for better reliability? maybe a pilot or something??
Does adding thise disc make it lock up sooner .or does it stay locked all the time..?? Looking to get a crv ,just asking questions to make sure i get all the right stuff so u dont need the pump anymore..if disc r added right ?
I couldnt find a link for them myself. I had to message Adem Qorri on facebook to order them. Im sure you could call Dca performance as well. Theyre located in Florida.
I just recently bought 06 CR V 5 speed manual. Had rear diff fluid changed at dealer because of loud roar or hum in what sounds like it’s coming from diff. Do you think it could be clutch pack in diff? It seems to work ok , but very annoying and concerning noise! Please help!
It may be the previous owner did not change the fluid enough. Have the rear diff fluid changed again, and you may see an improvement. If there is still noise, another flush and refill could fix or improve the noise. More than two flushes would likely not provide more benefit. It is best to drain the fluid hot, or at least used. Drive the car in tight circles left and right just before draining to get the fluid worked up.
Noice, i wanna eventually have this done to my 04 crv but I don’t know how to go about it. Can you list all the parts you would need to do this? I also wanted to know if y’all do this at hrg headquarters.
Its still just awd but now it more so awd than before. The factory system for the crv is more or less fwd with rear wheel assist. (It takes a second for the rear diff to engage) now with the landrover setup its basically instantly locked in.
Да все просто. Заменил систему хонды с двумя насосами га вискомуфту с фрилендера. Это все тот же awd по сути, просто вискомуфта гораздо быстрее блокируется, то есть подключает жопу
How much was the drive shaft and viscous coupler and the lock rings from hrg? I want this for my 1st gen really bad. I wonder what happens if i lock the rear on the stock driveshaft you think it will destroy the driveshaft or transmission?
I'll chime in since I just bought all the items you mentioned and more. The HRG locking plates are $250 + shipping. The Freelander viscous couplers are difficult to find where I live but I see them on occasion selling for approx. $550 on Facebook. I just priced one from a junkyard for $420 but the dude I was dealing with was sounding pretty sketchy and refused to do PayPal so I decided to buy everything brand new for right at $750 for all the drive shaft components. The adapters are $369, I think $360 something anyway. DCA website is, well I don't think it's been updated for years, so just do like Jake suggested and contact the guy through facebook. He promises to have them made and sent off to you in 2 work days. NRG offers what looks to be the same thing for a flat $300 even. Might buy those for my other CRV. And of course the mounting plate I still have to fabricate. I chose all new because I didn't want to rebuild the V/C anytime soon. The driveshafts and carrier bearings I got off eBay. The V/C and connecting bolts/washers, I bought from LRDirect (Land Rover Direct). They had the best price and are OEM replacement grade. For me it was worth it to have all new parts since I'm rebuilding the entire drivetrain and suspension (save for the engine and transmission. I hope I get a million miles out of them). Also if your interested AutoZone has the best price on a Exedy flywheel and eBay has best price on the Exedy stage 1 clutch kit. Lastly, if you lock the rear diff without a viscous coupler YOU WILL DESTROY SOMETHING IF NOT EVERYTHING!
Yes more crv stuff keep it up

Hey man, I appreciate the support! Glad I can help!
Clips at the end really make it clear how different the diff locks up, night and day. Immediately spins with the front it looks like 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 can't wait to start getting mind sorted now
It really feels awd now, compared to before its alot of fun.
@@beefybuilt488 I imagine taking off at traffic lights feels 100% better having the rear pull from the getgo haha
Now that is what I need on my 2000 CRV out here in Iowa. Looks like rust isn't to big a problem out your way like it is here in the rust belt. Cool video and thank you for helping me out deciding weather or not to upgrade. My Crv goes great through the snow but I know it can do better.
Where you located in Iowa? Marshalltown here we should do some snow rally soon
@@MoveWildwithMe I'm in Northwest Iowa by Sioux Falls, S.D. in a town called Rock Rapids.
What a G. Uses a CRV table for this job. Lol 👌🏽
High Quality info and vision mate, nice work
Keep it up bro I just bought a 06 cr v ex model with 190k miles. I plan to do a 8.5 inch lift
DO IT!
Do you happen to have a link for DCA performance for the adapter kit?
Year later and I'm still wanting crv content 😩 what happened? Are you ok?
I honestly haven't really done to much with the crv. Been too focused on my 240sx and fell off when It came to filming and editing. I do want to get back to it this year. And honestly this comment is super cool, thank you for your concern haha but I'm OK just lazy 😅 I've talked about doing a winch on the crv this year so look forward to that before offroad season starts!
If you get the part number from Honda you can find thos rear mounts online
Next time heat up the aluminum case with propane torch, then drill with a left hand drill bit. Sharpen the bit with high relief angles so it grabs and hopefully it grabs and since it’s turning left will back out the screw
Keep it up my bro all the way from nz
Would you mind adding a link to DCA website? I can’t seem to find them on google. Does the website sell the adapter plate as well?
That's awesome. Thanks for the info. I have recently started modding my 03 crv. This would be a great addition of I take it that far.....and learn to weld :)
Would you happen to know a good aftermarket crv axle?
You're lucky you can readily remove the rear diff without even detaching the struts. 2nd gen is nasty.
you guys should just engeer a sliding clutch for the rear diff to make it a cable actuated part time 4wd case, that would be better off road and simpler than the conversion.
What model do I get the viscous coupler off of?
Did you figure it out ? I’m looking into it as well
can anyone link the dca performance website?? cant find anything online
Hey Jake what year freelander was this from. Would thisnsetupnwork on an automatic build?
Yoo bro great videos man. They are extremely helpful
Nice work man!!!
so if you just swapped the clutch pads for the clutch delete kit you showed, would the vehicle handle fine as a 4x4 or are these pads also taking the role of the center diff and this would only lead to stress un the drive train/ chassis?
How is it for daily driving on paved roads? Is it work ok for that also?
I really want to do this to my 01 5spd CR-V. Where can I get all these parts to do it?
Hey you seem knowledgeable for this one. My 2002 5spd awd crv has a 2 inch ish lift and keeps eating front driver axle.... is there an axle that can swap in for better reliability? maybe a pilot or something??
not sure if you still need help with this but what you need is a subframe drop kit, not a sturdier axle
@@djlf1868Exactly. More than 1 to 1.5 inch lift on the CRV or Element and you will have problems without a subframr drop.
What size of rim and tire you use. It will be a good information for me👍🏻
Awesome vid
idk if you'll see thiss, but what snorkel is that? Got an IG? Id love to ask some questions. Ive got a 5 speed 98
Would installing the new clutch packs be the same process for a 2007 crv rear differential?
I can't even find an affordable vc a anywhere the only I've seen was 700.00 used
How much of a performance difference do you get by doing this swop ?? I have a 2000 Honda CR-V and I want to make it a better off roading experience
He going off road hell ya
Is there a Element kit available?
Does adding thise disc make it lock up sooner .or does it stay locked all the time..?? Looking to get a crv ,just asking questions to make sure i get all the right stuff so u dont need the pump anymore..if disc r added right ?
Its awd all the time, the coupler allows a little slippage to not bind and snap in tight corners
Is there a way that you could provide a link for the drive shaft adapters please 🙏
I couldnt find a link for them myself. I had to message Adem Qorri on facebook to order them. Im sure you could call Dca performance as well. Theyre located in Florida.
How much did you pay for the adapter plates??
good video
I just recently bought 06 CR V 5 speed manual. Had rear diff fluid changed at dealer because of loud roar or hum in what sounds like it’s coming from diff. Do you think it could be clutch pack in diff? It seems to work ok , but very annoying and concerning noise! Please help!

Will this mod possibly break your universal joints?
So the big question: Is it worth money and work it takes, for the difference it makes?
After using it for a few months i can confirm it is 100% worth the investment if you plan to use your crv offroad.
What did you use for your mounting plate
Noice, i wanna eventually have this done to my 04 crv but I don’t know how to go about it. Can you list all the parts you would need to do this? I also wanted to know if y’all do this at hrg headquarters.
I built the mountinf plate at work, not sure if were gonna list them for sale. Its specific to the 3" subframe drop, well see
very nice video man, do you have binding issues in tight corners?
Nope no binding issues at all, been working like a champ ever since install!
So basically.. everything you did in this video, turn the awd drive system into a full 4 wheel drive system?
Its still just awd but now it more so awd than before. The factory system for the crv is more or less fwd with rear wheel assist. (It takes a second for the rear diff to engage) now with the landrover setup its basically instantly locked in.
Time for a stainless exhaust haha
Did you make the VC mounting plate?
Can you make a plate for me and I’ll buy it from ya
а теперь всё заново и по Русски ))))
Да все просто. Заменил систему хонды с двумя насосами га вискомуфту с фрилендера. Это все тот же awd по сути, просто вискомуфта гораздо быстрее блокируется, то есть подключает жопу
What
What year of Land Rover is the drive shaft and where did you buy the plate and the adapters?
How much was the drive shaft and viscous coupler and the lock rings from hrg? I want this for my 1st gen really bad. I wonder what happens if i lock the rear on the stock driveshaft you think it will destroy the driveshaft or transmission?
