I’m visiting my cousin in Iowa and I got to drive his lifted CRV. It has 2" strut spacers he made, and the 255/70/15 General Grabbers are 2" wider and 2" taller than the stock 205/70/15s. And are sitting on OEM Jeep Wrangler wheels It’s a work in progress, but I think it pretty awesome. It’s fun driving what is basically a small hatchback and looking down at crossovers.

The best part is, the car was in an accident, when the previous owner had it, they bought it back with a salvage title. Then they took it to walmart for new tires, and some one forget to tighten the lug nuts so a front wheel fell off and one stud broke. So the car was just sitting at his neighbors for months because they just decided to replace it rather than fix it again. So one day he decided to asks if they wanted to sell it, and the guy said “sure give me 125 bucks and get it outta here. At that price you couldn’t afford not to buy it.

I have a 2006, Old Man Emu actually makes a lift kit for them! I would like to get an Si motor or something too. Here is a Toyota with more stuff added than I have ever seen.

This is basically his goal for the CRV. His next kid will be a basket rack, for camping.

Makes more sense to use a 4Runner really, if you want it to hold up. I have a 2006 CRV and it’s ok for Lake Tahoe and winter I guess but anything rough and I don’t think it brings the beef. I broke FJ60 parts in Montana and Tibet on bad dirt roads, CRV would die.

It’s not ideal for sure, but he’s a Honda guy, and a fabricator by trade so he’s able to do it on a budget. Plus it’s fun do have such a small truck.

What town? I see the Jones County plates, which isn’t far from me (Scott County, Davenport/Quad Cities, so about an hour and a half-ish from here).
