Honda CRV DIY Hitch Install - WITHOUT Buying Honda's $700 Sensor Relocator!

[@myrichadhertz]

Thanks for answering all my CRV hitch questions. Keep sharing.

[@MotorsandMischief]

You bet, and thanks for the encouragement!

[@mandelorean_nic]

Thank you ! I used this video to install mine. Only difference on mine is that i have the parking sensors other than the hands free liftgate. I had to reroute it and then zip-tie it. Other than this all was the same. Once again, thanks !

[@MotorsandMischief]

Outstanding! Its a great upgrade and saves a ton of money. Well done and thanks for letting everyone know it can be done.

[@slandberg1665]

Dr torque is most generally right. Always listen to the dr.

[@damnimcooltom1]

That sounds like excellent advice.

[@andytsoukalas693]

great video much appreciated

[@horsdevors4559]

I super glued the washer to the nut which insures that I didn't drop the nut or the washer while starting the nut on the bolt.

[@MotorsandMischief]

Smart tip!

[@albertcoots8177]

You installed the draw-tite 76342 model , but in the description is Draw-Tite 76128 model ?

[@terryburner1511]

Where’s your 4 way light connection install?

[@j.miguelhernandezl.5556]

Great video. The link for the Draw-Tite hitch is not the same you installed on your CR-V.

[@MotorsandMischief]

Good catch! Ok, here's the correct one: www.etrailer.com/p-DT79MR.html and here's etrailer confirming its the right one: www.etrailer.com/question-516432.html

Do you guys have an install vid for that JP Adventure front bump bar and the lights?

[@MotorsandMischief]

We do not. Because SOMEBODY didn’t think he needed to record it for the channel. After this video launched we got connected with the guys at LP Aventure and they’re really great guys. We’re hoping to do some more videos with their stuff come spring and we’ll certainly try to do a video on the bar. Thanks for the question!

[@SuperJESSE327]

Yes! Great video and tutorial. But, G damnit, I have the sensor too. Ugh. Lol. Also, as far as the lift gate, I did the swipe too, not the kick. Lol. Works way better with the kick. Not telling the wife.

[@MotorsandMischief]

Haha thanks for the comment!

[@DoctorTorque]

I've been kicking Jake regularly since this day.

[@MotorsandMischief]

I can firm this lol.

[@xxosonxx5439]

I let Uhaul install mine and they broke my blinkers/ hazards and cut into my bumper 😊

[@MotorsandMischief]

Oh no! We've had a lot of good experiences with Uhaul but we've also seen them mount one of these by screwing it into the gas tank, so experiences vary for sure lol.

[@bradleymuha4861]

Update? Did they fix it? What happened?

[@gingymartinez4552]

Do you have a part #

[@MotorsandMischief]

Thanks for the question! We've added it to the description as well but here's the link to the hitch: amzn.to/3CMnAZr

[@AdventuresFactory]

Wait.. I never tried that. Maybe my car doesn't have that feature?

[@MotorsandMischief]

Give it a shot! We would love to hear if you ended up having one

[@frank8938able]

Honda service punching the air ! 😂

[@MotorsandMischief]

Haha! I can picture it now lol

[@MrLuismedina25]

Hate the hassle man …it’s ridiculous the whole process.. it kill my neet to do it

[@MotorsandMischief]

Its definitely a challenge, but way easier after we figured out a few things. Did you try it?

[@CRQF]

There’s better videos here, why don’t you say the size of the boots and the torque.

[@MotorsandMischief]

Boots are size 10 mens, and the torque is about 3 ugga-duggas. Seriously, we always try to give you guys the torque specs but we'll only put them in if we can find a verifiable, trustworthy source. For the Honda CRV, we couldn't find one so matter how hard we looked. Similar tow bars say somewhere around 50 ft pounds. A 2 door Jeep Wrangler that has a similar tow rating to the CRV says 60 ft lbs. But without a manufacturer's source, we're just guessing which is why we didn't include it. Thanks for the question!

[@CRQF]

@@MotorsandMischief Found it from the hitch company it’s 59 ft/lbs for the chassis bolts and 90-100 for the tow hook/ receiver bolts for a 21 Honda CRV
