The BEST BUDGET OVERLAND Vehicle You have NEVER Considered (95-01 Honda CRV)

Honda’s rock my CRX did all the backroads Greenwater and beyond 😅

My 1997 CRV AWD/ABS with Yokohama GeoLanders was great when I lived in Washington State!

Great video subbed for more Crv content

Giving me stranger things vibes 😂

I have never seen a RD1 CRV with “little of 100000 miles since 10 years ago.

Hi there, do you know the back of the rear seat also drop down? and the centre part of the rear seat lifts up slightly, so you can get a full flat bed.

I have a 5th gen 4runner build and I got a 97 crv for a second build. Something for weekend trips and daily driving.

Its too bad they made so many of these automatic, the engine maneuvers much better with the 5 speed. Also better to do the valves at 30,000 miles or at least check the exhaust valves to make sure they are good.

can you please let me know, what kind off roof rail that you use? thx

hi there, what wheel and tyre specs are you running? and is this CRV lifted? cheers from NewZealand!

Lifting springs and kyb adjustable shocks has turned my RD1 into a super fun SUV to drive...

I have one too!

Nice video. I love budget builds. Here in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 4wding is extremely popular, and people spend up to $200 000, on a vehicle and fitouts. Me, I have an sh forrester with 35mm lift springs, and 6% larger tyres @ 225/65/17. It is the top spec model w leather interior and electric sunroof. $10000 aus which is cheap for over here. I go to Fraser Island (worlds largest sand island) annually and it gets me as far up the island as I wish. Although I can't really pull out large vehicles when they are bogged in soft sand, I can wave to them as I drive by. It never gets bogged.

Only problem of 1st gen crv is not fuel efficient😢

My 2002 manual trans awd for 1800 bucks is awesome. 1/4 mil miles and going strong!

I have a lifted 03 CRV (AWD 5 speed) and it's fun. Haven't overlanded it yet but look forward to do so later. Too bad years before and after my model have more support for it though.

The seats in the LX can't fold over to become a bed... Only the EX and SE models can.

Just bought a 1999 I can't wait to upgrade!

I purchased a 5 speed 2000 Honda CRV from a friend of minds for $1,500. Its a pretty reliable vehicle's. I drive the piss out of it. Power shifts & all. The only parts that have failed on me is the A/C compressor, Main Relay & the ICM in the distributor. Im a Mechanic/ Honda Enthusiasts so i figured out all the issues with ease. I highly recommend solid motor mounts. The Driver side motor mounts are prone to fail...... Also another hidden gem is if you flip up the bottom or the rear seat, remove rear head rested then flip the back seat down you can create more rear storages..

probably THE most uncomfortable seats ever..

97-01 Honda CRV
I bought mine with 160,000mi. In 2014
Today it has 217,000mi and still strong. Im looking to turn it into a full camper soon

i like laying the back seats flat on my crvs . a honda element rear diff is a great upgrade for crvs as well

$1500++ in my country now❤

It being an old car doesnt make it a "budget" overlander. These things go from 4-5k near me

I loved my ‘99 so much, I bought a ‘98 as well. Ended up with a 2000 parts car as well! Completely rebuilt the front end of both my runners for about $400 each, including cv axles. Even figured out how to do my own alignment. Best running cars I’ve ever owned, and I’m in my ‘60s!

Fun fact, you only HALF went into "Bed Mode" If you fold down the rear seats and click the lever on their side to elevate them, they line up with the front seats to make a HUGE sleeping area. I paid about $1k for my 00 CRV and its been a treat. 310k miles on the odo and still able to take it to the 4x4 beach or to some trails.

EX and SE 99-01 has bed modes. At least in the US

When the hell did they have a 95 crv ? I’m sure the first year for these were 97 .

Everything was fine until you said Jeep 😂 nice video.

Sweet music

Dude! The table! The table sold me into looking into one of these.
I didn’t know that. 😳
Honda’s (old ones that is) are so damn reliable and easy to fix anyway.
This is what cars should be. ALWAYS!

Rest and wait for rescue to clear the trees so we can pass. It's interesting, I give you a like and sub.

I have a 2000 crv that I’m currently doing a suspension rebuild on along with the timing belt kit. I also have a 2003 5 speed awd that I plan on swapping this January. These little SUV’s are pretty solid for most exploring adventures.

Great video. What size lift and tires on the CRV?

My favorite overlander I have ever seen is an '82 accord lifted on 40"+ mudders. The car just sits over top the wheels. Wheels are taller than the car itself. lol

Getting high on Cindy Purcell and Irene Magdaug's gas passings...

All the modding you have to do on it to make it anywhere near a jeep would bring it up in price pretty quick. But that said.. It's still likely cheaper over all but a lot more work. You really need to appreciate that 90s vaporwave look if you want to invest the time into it. I personally think these look sick.

In Siberia, this is one of the most popular cars and we all drive on the right hand wheel, as we bring these cars from Japan from Vladivostok.

I LOVED my '01, I have an '06 now

Don’t they have a timing belt

Прекрасная машина !

Тот случай когда машину делали инженеры

I liked the video; we are currently driving Iceland to Australia in a Lexus RX350 SUV @twoheadnorth thanks Zahra & Paul

YES YES YES

I have a 02 best little suv I’ve owned
