Went for a little drive to Rt. 301 to some lakes near Carmel, NY. I also when to a local pick and pull for a driver seat from an auto with and armrest, and grabbed a set of Full Fold Down Rear Seat Mounting Brackets so we can camp inside now or take naps on long drives. I just used the driver...

I'm gonna be using a Honda Element rear diff unit, it's the same for every year auto or manual and is the same gearing as my V. It has better clutch rings and bigger oil passages for quicker and more engagement and bolts rite up. The element rear diff seems to be the best of all the...

Thanks guys. Trying to make the most of my off season with just having our new born arrive. Time is sparse. The only thing that i don't like about coilovers is I might lose suspension travel. I get into some real crappy spots i should go but it's there and i must conquer all obstacles lol. I...

Those coilovers look good for a rally project down the road when i have space and a place to build again. I Drove from AK to NY to go to Poland to have our baby but my wife's green card never showed up in time, so we are at my parents house for a few months. I was planning on building a rally...

Thank you. I did make a set of shock spacers for a body lift but i mad them way to big and they weren't going to work it was obvious. I also had 31" AT2 tires on it but took them off for the road trip to alaska. So all the fender work and wheel well work was done for big tires. Now I'm going to...

Did a Monstaliner white piant job to toughen the CRV up a bit. I use a 2 gallon kit with extra roller and didn't re-roll the 2nd coat. I didn't want a lot of texture so it would be easy to clean and give a satin look. It took about a week to complete but i wanted to do it rite not a quickie job...

Been away fishing for a couple of months, back at working on the V. Progress since I've been back includes a hidden snorkel w/ K&N filter set up, repurposed oem mid pipe resonator N1 style muffler with bent oem crv tip, 3000k HID projector fog lights. Did a tune up on it to get it ready to for...

It's not as easy as giving a Subaru body lift but it can be done. The car does have long travel suspension compared to it's civic/integra counterparts. And the 2001 model had hard rubber bushings in new spot cus honda wanted to make It's lat yr a more off road worthy car. Added a torque box to...

Last of the Herculiner pixs. Under Engine Skid Plate clearance

Me and the wife did some Herculiner Undercoating on rig the other day. gave me a good chance to really go over the under body and wheel wells after the trip and off roading. It came out great, rolled and brushed 2 coats everywhere and 3 coats in where there was more rock damage from travailing...

Roger that, not into the cookie cutter image most people assimilate with most things. I like Hondas, Love there racing heritage, I knew the V had much more potential then most people give it. Honda has been designing there cars for race use ever since they started. The CRV was developed to be...

Anything after the 1st gen is a whole different car and design concept. I'm a B-series engine kinda guy any have worked on them for many years. I needed something I knew by heart for the road trip in case anything happened which it did. I blew a rear engine mount in Mo and had to replace my...

Thank you. I've always been into Hondas and use to drive and auto 1st gen crv and it was great. It could stop in a snowy parking lot up to the doors and move like there was nothing there. It was a nice change from your normal front wheel drive experience with hondas. I no longer had to drive...
