This vehicle was built for snow use and regular everyday driving. Not going over ruts, inside holes or over rocks. Actually it's one of the best Snow vehicle with the right tires
Do it...! Get the 98' model - dark green - something under 180k. Mint ones are still out there for sale. Your banishment will be lifted if you find one with a working dash clock.
Yep. My wife was hit by a F150. The driver was under the influence of something. He hit the SUV behind her also and kept going. If it weren't for him we would still be driving it today.
For a stock crv gen1 it is ok to off road but not good. But if you like projects you can turn this car into a very good off road vehicle. Several of my friends’ take their V’s to Colorado every year and they preform really good even comparing to the jeeps.
+Roberto Medrano I got them on ebay many years ago. They came with a factory switch that plugged into the dash, all the necessary wiring and they mounted easily without drilling.
Define off-road. A few dirt tracks, some hard sand, and gnetle, shallow water (def. no more than 20cm or so) and if you're sensible she'll be fine. If you go beyond that, she may cope at first, but you'll be setting yourself up for a lot of expensive grief later on. If you wan't a simlar size/age real off roader that's small engined and affordable then go for the 2nd gen 5 door Suzuki Vitara. Very similar size and economy, but with a bit more power and a *very* capable real 4WD system with low range. Not as throughtfully laid out inside (no table in the boot and no clever collapsible centre console - for shame!) but they are very capable off road, albeit not as refined on road. Avoid the Land Rover Freelander 1st gen which again is a vaguely similar size and power. It's less capable than the Vitara (though more capable than the CRV) but it was built from a Junior Meccano set - the build quality is just plain atrocious.

Lmao i think you got a flat tire bruh. Hahah. I would of lifted the crv and gottend the proper shocks and tires and then yeah it would of been different story lmao
+Dylan Davis Yes. That was not the original engine. It came out of a 2001. The original engine broke the timing belt at 200,000. It never used any oil. Made me very sad.
I just bought a 2001 I'll be using where I can versus my truck, and it seems these engines are very sensitive to lack of maintenance, but if taken care of, will last a long time. Nice video.
Dylan Davis my crv lasted 500000 kilometres on the stock engine with maintaine ( was my dads before he passed ) and he swapped a Japanese crv engine in when the original transmission blew up cause he didn’t wanna do one then have the other go bad
Yeah but most of us, including myself wouldn't do anything more serious than what you showed in this video. That was impressive and to think that the new CRV's awd is slightly improved is encouraging. Plus with Subaru's excessive oil consumption issues still prevalent in 2017/2018 models, it's hard to think about buying a Subaru.
This. The 1st and 2nd gen CR-Vs are lovely, practical cars. But they are *not* heavy duty offroaders. Have a bit of fun on the beach but respect it for what it is, and don't ask more than they can do.
Greenredfield - The newer generations are much more "car like" - without even the pretence of an off-road ability - the ground clearence is significantly better in gen1/gen2 cars than newer models, and air intakes and the likes were more sensibly placed etc. Also the "boxy" shape and *very* practical interior with things like collapse centre consoles make it a more useful and versatile vehicle. Hoping to get one of my own for road trips :)
CRV je terénní vůz. Není to offroad, ale dovede opravdu mnoho. Chce to jen znát jeho limity a systém pohonu. Má nižší světlou výšku a zadní pohon s malým zpožděním.
Tried that in my ‘00 CR-V once. Wound up getting towed home with a broken drive axle. Fun times

Dovede více než si myslíte. Skvělé auto
I'm a guy who only drives 1st gen CR-V's.... You are absolutely banished from this awesome vehicle.
I almost want to go get another one just cause you said not too:)
Do it...! Get the 98' model - dark green - something under 180k. Mint ones are still out there for sale. Your banishment will be lifted if you find one with a working dash clock.
I just bought a 98 4wd
I just got a 99 and the guy said on the phone the clock did work. I noticed halfway home the clock wasn't working,............WTH
@@7daze432 I managed to resolder mine back to working order. It started failing again, this time it still lights up but it shows random times.
Wow thanks for the follow up 9 years later! Haha and we got high def this time
The strongest in the World.
At the end I was like what broke a driveshaft?? Then I gasp when I saw it.
Yep. My wife was hit by a F150. The driver was under the influence of something. He hit the SUV behind her also and kept going. If it weren't for him we would still be driving it today.
Did they ever catch the driver that did that hit/run? I'm glad you and your partner were ok.

What mods does one need to make for better off road?
stronger than the look would suggest.i own 1 actually...just nice.
cool story bro
That’s pretty badass. Stock suspension? What’s the tire set up? I bet with bfg KO2s and 3” lift it’ll be a beast. Digging the fogs
Sadly this CRV is gone. It was totalled by an uninsured driver under the influence.
i gonna be doin that..maybe..if i get mine fixed. too bad yours got wrecked.
What kind of foglights you have they would look nice on my crv
+Roberto Medrano I got them on ebay many years ago. They came with a factory switch that plugged into the dash, all the necessary wiring and they mounted easily without drilling.
+Boyd currently they are mounted on my atv - Fankencat
any suggestion on where to look for upgrades for my crv
No. I haven't had one for 3 years and mine was stock.
Sith Sidoti yes put better lubricant in the diff to keep it cooler
Noooo que pasó al final?
I have an 02 5 speed manual CRV. It has a V6 Vtec engine and I kind of wondering is it a off-road vehicle?
+Shadownet It is if you want it to be
The CR-V has never been made with a V6, your CR-V has either a K20 or K24 depending on where you are located.
Crv with a V6?? it must be a joke right??😂😂😂
If you have a Honda SUV with a V6 engine, it must be a Pilot, not a CR-V. If you have a CR-V it is definetly not a V6.

Is this a meme? How did I get here?
Where is this at?
The opening shot is near Mt. Lookout, WV. The rest is near St. Albans, WV
Я бы там на своей девяточке проехал на легках

I just bought a 2000
You broke it!! good suv, bad driver
Incorrect!! The other driver broke it when he hit my wife broad side. Yes, it was a good suv. Wish I still had it.
What tire set up
Stock size Michelin HydroEdge
2:20, what's that terrible sound?
That is from the rear drum brakes. When they got wet they would make that noise at low speed.
The ghost of soichiro Honda saying "Dumbass".
You killed him! 😡
Lmao i think you got a flat tire bruh. Hahah. I would of lifted the crv and gottend the proper shocks and tires and then yeah it would of been different story lmao
So it can do light off roading but it's not the best offroader ever.
Im sure its better than say a landrover! The rear lower control arms hang really low
👍👍👍👍👍
A little puff of blue smoke at 2:27....?
+Dylan Davis

You can do that with your Civic. C`mon
Yes, because the CRV *is* a Civic! But a Civic with a nicer cabin and some ground clearence ;)

I love my CRV but it just does NOT have the proper AWD system for serious off roading. Even Subaru is better
+Marvin
Too true. It's either on or off for the rear wheels. An LSD in the front and rear would help.
Yeah but most of us, including myself wouldn't do anything more serious than what you showed in this video. That was impressive and to think that the new CRV's awd is slightly improved is encouraging.

Classic Honda CRV Off Road Part 2 - How not to offroad.
χαχαχα
ONLY VITARA OR GRAND VITARA.
Какой это нахуй офроад))))
The CR-V is not an off-road vehicle at all. Get a Wrangler or a V8 truck with crazy tires.
It is an AWD though!
I'd rather have a car that is useful on 99% of the roads I drive. Although I do have a Wrangler now.
CRV je terénní vůz. Není to offroad, ale dovede opravdu mnoho. Chce to jen znát jeho limity a systém pohonu.
Má nižší světlou výšku a zadní pohon s malým zpožděním.
