im glad i've seen this video about the 1g CRV ,i have 1 myself for more than 15 years now and im from lebamon,i didn't know taht some people in US still like and own this car,great video guys
Thanks for checking my video out, I am a big fan of your channel! I started up these meets because there was no established group. So far we have had a few great meets. I think if you put out an announcement you would get guys showing up.
I have a 99 RD1 with 215/75/r15 General Grabbers. They are ok. Lost a lot of mpg. Thinking of dropping it to Geolanders 205/70. Redoing the lift. Going with truhart lift coilovers instead of hrg spacers. Good luck on your build. God bless
Yes they are a great entry into the off road world. Definitely have their limits but they surprise me with what they can do. Plenty of space inside for camping gear and more!
Looks great, got a first gen CRV but still looking to replace the tires with some all terrains once its fixed, overheated it like a moron last month in the Arizona heat and blew a head gasket :(
Get it fixed and back on the trails!! I just did a head gasket on a crv. Hardest part was scraping the intake gasket off. Make sure you do your valve seals and can seals while it’s out.
Makes me want a gen 1 CR-V more. But they're getting harder to find especially the ones using manual transmission. Same goes for the gen 2 stick shifts. Btw are the gen ones on stock rims lifted too?
Now is the time buy one for sure. My black one was lifted 3 inches on stock wheels with bigger tires. I like the stock wheels and have not found a better replacement in my price range. Thanks for the comment!
Cool! I have questions! - How much action did your skid plate get? - Was ground clearance an issue for the group, other than in the snow? - Were the repairs you did after Manashtash really just from that run, or more like the effect of 200k miles and frequent off-road use? - Do CR-Vs hold up okay otherwise, for use like this run? The control arms and some other parts seem much, much lighter duty than say, a Ranger or YJ. Cool trip, thanks for the video, and if you're able to respond 🙂
I don't recall the skid plate hitting anything on this run however it has been smacked pretty good before. Ground clearance was only an issue on the second gen crv that would hit the fuel tank guard. Those repairs were a long time coming, I did put a lot of wear on the vehicle doing the WABDR (exhaust, tires and knocking the wheel off center.) Right now I have it all fixed up other than a leaking steering rack and I'm coming up on time to replace my clutch again. (I got a couple years out of it off roading and towing things that are way too heavy. I think that the crv is a great light duty off road vehicle. Surprisingly robust for its size and intended usage. in stock form a crv should handle any forest road without breaking assuming its in good condition. I hope that answers your questions well enough, thanks for reaching out.
Cool, thanks! I guess I've been nervous about what qualifies as "light duty", and didn't want to find out the hard way. I was shocked to look underneath and find flat pieces and thin stamped pieces 😱. I've seen "heavy duty" high-clearance control arms, but surprised by lack of tune or I-beam style strengthening. Would you strengthen the CR-V much, or just use your truck for rougher stuff? And any thoughts about doing a viscous coupler and locking the clutches and/or diff?
I’m not too worried about breaking stuff as I have plenty of cars and the abilities to fix what I break. I have thought about changing up the rear suspension design a little
As far as I know we all had factory rear units. I have been wanting to upgrade to a pinned set up with a coupler on the driveshaft. Time will tell as I’m working on a new crv project at the moment.
I posted an invite on my RUclips channel and on my instagram. Once you go to one of the events you get put on an internal message board that has planning details and less formal chit chat. As of right now there is no official next event planned for this year yet.
I have a 2001 Honda Crv that I purchased new and was still driving it. The car needs new brake lines and a new motor for the driver side window. The mileage is low on the car, but i am not sure I should have the work done because of the age of the car. The interior looks new. The body is in excellent condition, except for a rust spot over the back passenger wheel. The car has never stopped or not started. I am not sure if I should keep the car. The car drives well, and it such a pretty red color. I was thinking about getting a wheel cover with a red rose on it.
Yoo any FWD in that fleet? I have a 2003 with 80k and i am the second owner but FWD¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just curious cause I got it pretty much for a steal, and I really wouldn't mind going the process for the 4wd swap since its really clean
if yall are just going down some small hills and through a few puddles thats not offroading lol. you are going to places where even that g37 could make it, embarrassing
Idk if I’d say this wasn’t off-roading. That car was driving down the main line which is not what we were coming down. You should come out next time and see what we were really up to. Thanks for watching
Ok I admit I came on strong with that one, sorry don’t mean to sound like an asshole, I’m sure the video makes it look easier than it is and you guys look like a fun group to hangout with, and honestly I would but I live in BC, but I am planning on the king out to Washington at some point. Good luck with your rigs, it’s always nice to see people wheeling their CRVs such an underrated car.
@@kindolive9528I have a 98 crv and a property and last year with the rain and floods had to drag my old mates 4wd ute out as it was bogged in the paddock 8 times at least. Only time I got stuck was when I was dragging his 4wd ute and stock crate bogged to the axles. Had to get the crv dragged out with a red fergy tractor then had it stuck up on a stump had to get it dragged off with the tractor. Tonka tuff. Love my tonka crv.

Yes they are!
I love crv

Thank you!

Hello from the states! Crv passion is global. Great cars.
very cool, just a bunch of honda boys and girls living life :)
Doing what we do best! Thanks for watching.
✌good time holding !
Good video. Have crv also. Still build it. So nice to see group of crv doing this kind of things
Thank you! It’s a lot more fun as a group.
fellow crv offroader!! love it
Thank you!
Had a blast out there with you you man! Can't wait for the next one 🤙🤙
Thanks for coming out! Ill let everyone know when the next one is out together.
Had such a good time! Looking forward to the next one!
More to come! It was nice to meet you and check out your CRV
Heckkk yea. Cr-V’s roll out.
CRV gang gang!
Great video! I wish I could have come along.
Thanks bro. lets fly you in for the next one, you can drive my blue crv
oh man, can't wait to come to the next one! Just picked up a 2000 CR-V EX AWD.
See you on the trail! I’ll be posting the invite for the next one soon.
Good size group. Looks like fun.
We had a blast!
Looks fun!
We had a great time :)
Like this
Me too!
That’s so awesome. I wish there was something like this here in Alabama
Thanks for checking my video out, I am a big fan of your channel! I started up these meets because there was no established group. So far we have had a few great meets.
I think if you put out an announcement you would get guys showing up.
So bummed I missed this! Looks like a blast
Tell me about it wish I wasn’t so far
We had a great time.. Come out to the next one!
This is awesome!! I own a 2005 Honda CRV AWD.. I would love to join in
Thanks! You are always welcome to join.
Cool! Neat meetup, seemed like a lot of fun.
It was a great time!
Awesome meet up...
I own a Gen 2 CRV AWD. Just installed a set of 2157016 BFG KO2 AT. Love them tyres.
Very cool!
I have a 99 RD1 with 215/75/r15 General Grabbers. They are ok. Lost a lot of mpg. Thinking of dropping it to Geolanders 205/70. Redoing the lift. Going with truhart lift coilovers instead of hrg spacers. Good luck on your build. God bless
I truly wish I would have known about this.. I would have loved to have gone. I love my CRV and would like to meet some like minded people.
See you at the next one?
These are good at going down hills!
Little down hill advantage.
Fun !
Great time.
you guys are cute
Nice. I didn't know people off roaded in their CRV's.
Yes they are a great entry into the off road world. Definitely have their limits but they surprise me with what they can do. Plenty of space inside for camping gear and more!
nice team and car
Thank you!
white crv driver coming down :P ..... nice meet !
Thank you! He said he didn’t know his wheels were turned. The abs does weird things while you are sliding down a hill and gets you confused
At least you’re having fun
Great time.
Damn, I could have been the only red one there. Too bad I had to work!
Come out next time!
@LoganJohnsonWA oh I will! I got stuck with mandatory OT. Next time we'll have everyone pukka out their tables and have a potluck or something lol
5:00 is the steering broken on the white rally wheel CR-V?
No, he's just trying to slide down the hill. It was far steeper than it looks in the video.
Looks great, got a first gen CRV but still looking to replace the tires with some all terrains once its fixed, overheated it like a moron last month in the Arizona heat and blew a head gasket :(

I didn’t know there’s a CVR group out there. I’m a 4runner guy. I respect that.
I dig any group of the same car getting together. I have an old Toyota pickup that I have a video of if you are interested.
Cool! I have questions!
- How much action did your skid plate get?
- Was ground clearance an issue for the group, other than in the snow?
- Were the repairs you did after Manashtash really just from that run, or more like the effect of 200k miles and frequent off-road use?

Всем привет🤝 Лифт 1.5" это очевидно. А регулируемые рычаги и блокировки сзади есть у кого?
I’ll post a video soon going over my set up. Hope that will help clear things up.
Wish I would have been in on this. That's my hood. Just got my CRV a month ago tho
Watch out for the next announcement
Were there any AWD Automatics in your group? Wondering if my auto can do these type of trails
Yes about half were autos. Everyone had awd
Did anyone have a rear differential element installed in theres?
As far as I know we all had factory rear units. I have been wanting to upgrade to a pinned set up with a coupler on the driveshaft. Time will tell as I’m working on a new crv project at the moment.
What camera did you use to film this? Looks like stabilisation works great. Thanks
Thanks dude! I shot most of this on a Sony Zv-e10 with the kit lenses. I have a lot of learning to do with filming on it.
I want to attend the next one. Where the info be posted?
I recently posted a video explaining the next one.
Привет! А какой размер колес на CRV черного цвета? У которой туманки оранжевые. Ставил ли ваш товарищ проставки под амортизаторы? Привет из Сибири!)
Hello! The black one is mine, the tires are 235/75. Most of the guys had spacer lifts. Mine is coilover lift.
@@LoganJohnsonWA Thanks! Your car looks very harmonious!
Pretty badass
Thank you!
i live in washington and have a lifted crv how do i find things like this?

Sounds like a good car to keep going. Don’t forget the lower ball joints and timing belt needs service routinely.
when is the next one?
Is this trail doable with a awd delete?
@@makz4924 I probably wouldn’t. If you do go in the summer when it’s dry.
So what this taught me was that crvs are much better going downhills than uphills.
Yeah they are. Needs a little more power
I think RUclips has finally figured out my algorithm
The Crv community is strong on here.
Yoo any FWD in that fleet?
I have a 2003 with 80k and i am the second owner but FWD¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just curious cause I got it pretty much for a steal, and I really wouldn't mind going the process for the 4wd swap since its really clean
Hi in this group everyone had all wheel drive.
I think you would make it to most of the same places as we did.
Был бы привод на рускам
It starts with one! Not sure how common they are over there or how spread out. From what I have seen you have a great back country. Cheers!
if yall are just going down some small hills and through a few puddles thats not offroading lol. you are going to places where even that g37 could make it, embarrassing

Good way to rip your front wheels off
They are on there pretty tight.
