  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    SRN’s 2017 Nissan Armada Build Thread

    Looking sick! I didn't realize the new Armada/Patrol was 4WIS, same as my CR-V. IMHO, Armada's should come like that from the factory! Looking forward to seeing what else you do with this bad boy.

    I'm pretty sure that regional travel restriction ended on May Long Weekend. Even if it didn't, it's unconstitutional BS with zero scientific basis or justification and should therefore be ignored in any case.

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    I'm almost dead center of the province, near Smithers. We moved here last October 31st, but I used to live in the LMD, and I grew up in North Van. When I first got the CR-V, I was living in Chilliwack, so I know a lot of the trails around there, East and West Harrison, and Fraser Canyon.

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    In skimming over this thread, I realized that I neglected to mention and show one of the most critical mods I've made to the CR-V! Namely, two 10,000lb rated recovery hooks bolted into the rear "frame rails" of the unibody: These are bolted into the holes where a hitch receiver would be...

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    Awesome! Welcome to CR-V Nation! :D I'm honored and thrilled I could be an inspiration to anyone with my rusty old Honda lol In all honesty, I think that just as I did, you'll find yourself falling more in love with the old V as you take it out on adventures. It will surprise you at how capable...

    @EastVanGuy I forgot to mention, your rig looks sick. Looking forward to what else you have planned.

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    I'm trying to remember, but I feel like I just cut the top hat mounting bolts a bit shorter on mine. I had the 2" kit from HRG and I didn't have to mess with the strut springs or top hats at all. Yes, you are correct, the bottom of the strut where it plugs into the collar on the fork that bolts...

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    I can get them pretty close to flat, maybe not quite all the way, although I had some junk in the car that was maybe interfering. In any case, it's flat enough that I could for sure sleep in it in a pinch. Having said that, I considered the option of sleeping in the car early on and looked at...

    If you aren't getting axle wobble, you don't need the engine drop spacers, no worries on that. Glad I could be of assistance :D Being an RD1 CR-V enthusiast can be a lonely thing at times lol The CB radio I installed had a PA function, so when I found a cheap loudspeaker on Craigslist, I...

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    I I hate to tell you this, but there's no need to mess with the top hats at all other than just bolting on the spacers when you buy the whole strut assembly. In the end, it all worked out though, and it looks awesome! I think you'll find that the new struts and the extra 2" makes a world of...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Bottle jack is my vote.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Drove it way up a nearby mountain with my neighbor and got it proper stuck in some nasty slushy "corn snow" that was still hanging about. Had to dig for around an hour, but like civilized chaps, we had a break for lunch mid way through, then another 30 minutes or so of digging got it out...

    Squamish to Gibsons: The Mythical Track

    Disclaimer: this is not legal advice, use at your own risk. I believe that legally speaking, if you can find where the original road ran, you can do whatever to clear it up as far as cutting vegetation away. I heard that so long as you aren't doing any road bed engineering type stuff, you don't...

    Northwest BC (Rupert to PG)

    Hey, I was just looking around for OB members in this area, and here you are! I live in Telkwa, BC, and my interest in exploring off road is always high. Time is definitely a limited commodity for me, but definitely keep me posted. One place I strongly want to visit is Dorreen, so that's a...

    South Wester BC

    If I still lived in Chilliwack, I would have been all over this. I moved to Telkwa in October, so now I'm pretty far north. Glad to see more activity on Canada west, though. There is a fellow who lives in Langley City who has a wicked Taco. I don't have his OB number, but hopefully he sees the...

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    Update on my SV overlander, for any who may not have seen it yet: And, where I took it yesterday to work in my bush office with a view. Sometimes I really love living in the information age: This was tea time. No, the cans by the fire are not mine, and yes I took them out of the bush anyway...

    1999 Honda CR-V - "Ganbaru"

    Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it :D I love my CR-V; definitely one of my favourite vehicles I've ever owned. Here's how it looks currently. Getting new tires on the 17th that will give it another inch or so of lift. Overview of the engine, showing my loudspeaker on the left: Driver side...
