It would probably be the most bad ass mud boggin experience you've ever had.  I can tell you as i have taken my pilot through some serious shit on a few occasions.

They are hardcore. I was getting like 30 mpg while i was off roading in my honda pilot.  Buy the CRV and then take pictures of you pulling your buddies out when they get stuck.

People on these sites, drive $70k diesel trucks with $30k worth of aftermarket shit. Even if I did find one stuck on the lease road, I wouldn't have a hope in pulling out a 9000lbs truck. LOL

You severely underestimate the power and awesomeness in a true Honda 4x4.  dude, they are badass.  Ive had 2 jeeps and for sure the Honda Pilot was the most badass 4x4 truck ive ever owned.  i never got it stuck, it climbs everything in sight and still gets like 38 mpg. im telling you honda does the best most capable 4x4 out there.

here's my sweet rig after some super sick mudding action. PM me if you want some protips on how to turn your CRV into a badass mud machine like mine.


I'm already feeling Henry'd here...

However I did watch a number of youtube video's of crv's doing well off road, and ones of them getting stuck. With some decent tires it should be able to handle lease roads without too much issue.

My only last concern is fuel economy. If it is only getting 20mpg on a 5 spd manual trans 1st gen crv on the hiway I would probably not bother with it. I was hoping more like 25+

TL:DR Was too busy lookin' at your porn.
Just sounds exactly like the oilfield trucks.

Friend with an auto 4x4 CRV used to get ~23-25 MPG on the highway, tho he did have a lead foot.

All my Civics & tegs have handled 4-6" of uncleared snow with all seasons, so a awd Honda with better tires should deal with it. No sense to get a $100k rig if 95% of it is normal road. That's like putting R compounds on your DD because there is one "canyon run" you might hit per month.

Good memory, it was an SJ410 to be exact. Turbo sami well cool for being a weekend warrior 4x4, would lick my balls driving on the hiway day after day. Too loud, too slow.

Exactly my thought's. I'm just a poor contractor, something sensible is what I am after. Maybe if I was fresh out of high school bringing home $9k a paycheck like the kids on some of these sites, I might need a flat brim hat and $100k truck. Now I just wear a toque to cover my bald head, and want a nice riding quiet car, with just enough off road prowess to get me to where I need to go and back.

Need to find trailer to get them home, will work on that tomorrow. Guess I should have mentioned I'm in no real hurry, my plan is to have one sometime in the new year. If a really good deal falls in my lap before that so be it.

jelly?

Honda aren't meant to be huge, chromed out, 10" lifted, turbo diesel pavement princesses.  they were built to do shit.  Look at that Honda i posted, that bitch just got done doin work. No chrome flames around the emblems or ricer HID's in a huge lifted truck, it doesn't need any of that to bust some serious off road ass and get some serious MPG's at the same time.  Its not like im compensating for something, my truck doesn't need to be flashy and huge.

Im sure your pavement princess is pretty.  sorry to hear about your penis.

That thing was fucking scary.  It wanted to fall off curves, and the brakes were not up to the job of slowing it down.  One of the many reasons Jesse is a role model for you children.  :P

Thanks JD, just when I thought I could get by with a stock crv for awhile you now go and post that... The worst part is I have an extra hx35 just collecting dust.

If you put a lower profile or stiffer sidewall tire on then I think it'd handle better.  The brakes are still scary as shit.

It will get neither, it will get directional snow tires and studs.

I'm pretty sure a random snow tire has a stiffer sidewall than the luxury car tires that were on Jesse's CRV.  My lifted XJ handles better than his CRV, mainly because the tires don't try to roll over going around corners.

if you get one and plan to have the 4wd being actively used, buy a driveshaft from honda (if you can actually find one in stock) for $750 and carry it with you. they are very commonly broken and impossible to find. that is the only thing i have had to replace on mine beside a sway bar endlink breaking and a rotted cat flange. the 4wd with regular all seasons works pretty well in deep new england snow. i assume studded snows work work significantly better.

i had my 4wd wagon in the woods going through shit that 4wd trucks with AT tires couldnt get through. the CRV should be even better with increased ground clearence.

Do you know where they typically break? Do they just twist apart or?

I've taken my dads Ridgeline 40 miles offroad in the mountains several times, it does quite well for something that drives as well as it does on road, miles better then my ex girlfriends crv or MDX.

I think the best thing is to is get a unimog air lifted to the highway exit and take that in to the site ( of course totally ignoring the part that it would be cheaper to just chopper your ass in and out of there ).
