1997-2001 Honda CR-V Front Bumper Replacement Using A $32 Certi-fit Bumper

[@cleofasdeleonjr58]

WooHooo!!! For the CRVs. Got my 2000 CRV in 2002 with 42,000 miles. It now has 397,000 miles. Same engine. Same guts. Adjust my valves every couple years if they need it. Timing belts and components a few times. One alternator. A few batteries. A fuel pump that I thought it needed but didn't. Inside interior took on my two daughters for years and years and still looks great. Once they leave for college my CRV is gonna get that lift kit I've promised it for years. Gonna camp and explore every state for a month each. May write book about it. Enjoy your rides my friends. See you soon!!!

[@donSparda]

Im waiting for that book dude! Better have some pictures of that CRV :D

[@manuguardado91]

Damn how is your crv not good in snow? Lmao i got a 99 with 300k+ miles and its amazing in the snow, rain, or mud 😂

[@MrShakamuni01]

It sounds like it is not so much the car but the driver

[@microcosms]

check out the numerous youtube videos of off road crv and snow crv gen one videos. they are pretty capable as stock with good tires. driving style and skill is however a big factor as it is with any vehicle. many would no agree with the negativity expressed towards this vehicle. it is in essence an awd honda civic wagon. it can do amazing things on road and offroad. depends on who is behind the wheel. at any rate this is a helpfull diy for people. thank you for making it.

[@joshmindek4840]

LOL at the dead bird feature.

My 1998 CRV does have a good Hug on the highway. 140KPH on Highways and its really stable especially when the back wheel kicks in. no body roll whatsoever during curves on 40-60KPH run. as long as you stay off the gas during sharp curve/turns it will get you to the other side. I like this model ALOT. cheap spares, small on the outside, big ass space on the inside. pretty good mileage too compared to my friend's Rav4. the only issue I got right now with it is when the back wheel kicks in, there is a clunk. wear and tear I suppose. overall compared to most modern cars I will rate the 1st gen 8/10. 20yr old car and still looking pretty.

If you're neighbor is slipping and sliding with a RD1, then it's probably crappy tires. I live in MN and we get a ton of snow up here, and I own 2 RD1s with good all weather tires and I drive just fine. Factor in I live on top of a hill too, I literally have yet to run into any issues. None the less, great video.

[@NathansPorscheWorkshop]

Hello, it seemed like the rear would only single out 1 tire when it was stuck in the snow and that was causing it to not be able to pull itself out.

[@jollys1107]

Do you have a video of how to remove the rear bumper

[@seanlubben8877]

Apparently this dude's mom can't drive.

[@littlewoodendummy14]

I have a 1998 Honda CR-V and my grill has a bunch of screw's in the middle???

[@drewelling4441]

Can you send link of bumper you replaced it with please

[@hammond2600]

I don't understand the traction issues your mother is having. I have a 2000 SE that gets amazing traction in the snow on just regular street tires. Not long after I bought it, we got 4-5 inches of snow overnight. I was the first to get leave my neighborhood the next morning (no other visible tracks). It climbed the steep hill that goes out to the main road, like it was on flat ground. Near the top, the front tires spun for about half a second before the rear tires kicked in and it powered right up the hill like it was nothing. As for being tippy......mine hugs the road in corners and tight curves, like it's on rails with almost zero body roll.

[@JustinAbroad]

Same. I've never had any issues either. I have 325k miles. I fixed the diff so it's Full Time Awd and changed all the control arms etc. Rides like a new car. Dynomated the entire car so it's pretty much quit inside

[@gardian1701]

@@JustinAbroad Wow! How much has fuel economy suffered from making it perma 4 wheel drive? How easy was it to do?

[@jokhambo5181]

I notice washer reservoir on driver side what is the reservoir on passenger side for

[@maddog6820]

coolant

[@chevelleguns92]

It isnt for fluids its part of the air intake acts as a muffler to quiet down engine noise

[@sebastianmucka2804]

hello I'm from Poland and I am looking for my crv rd1 orange reflection in the left side bumper is it possible to buy it in the USA

[@FRJ1982]

Look on "Car id" phone app. Super cheap

[@thndr_5468]

Where do you find a bumper for $32?

[@karlchristofferson3588]

We have a certafit in Milwaukee. For 38 bucks worth me trying on my own. BTW My 2000 crv drives good in the snow, but i think they call it a 2nd generation. Good video

[@TheTEMIBLEAK47]

First generation is from 96 to 2001 2nd generation 2002 to 2006 3rd gen 2006 to 2011 4 genn 2011 to 2016 and fifth genetation 2017 to present

[@TheTEMIBLEAK47]

By the way I love my 2001..

[@gardian1701]

In the uk these are towing ambulances out of getting stuck in the snow!

[@nathanjohnson3790]

Good Job Sir!

[@cherldizzle]

My 99 CRV is great in the snow

[@RunItUpBanga]

Idk maybe regular gaps I have these😂😂😂

[@MondoMurderface]

When he started rambling about how bad it is on snow or highway speeds I had to jump to the comments lol.. I knew there would be some rage. No idea what he's talking about either, they are actually fantastic road trip cars in all weather. Maybe he's just gunning it a little too hard, it's not a sports car.

[@Osrs-Naptown666]

Thanks Nathan. I was watching the video , about half way through I was like “I know this damn voice, but from where” and i was like “Nathan’s MRE ?! Lmaoooo” thanks fuckin awesome. Much love bro .

[@justmenate]

Did you pay extra for the dead bird version? Great video man! Thanks for the upload. Subed

[@Motardebase.]

thank's

[@triggersafe1]

The X5 will give you headaches when that tranny starts getting sick.

[@RobertJToledo]

Can someone please let me know what the front bottom bar underneath front bumper is for?

[@hammond2600]

Just a little extra protection. If that bar hits something, don't try to drive over it because it might take out your oil pan.

[@chriscollado1632]

Ham ster what's the name of that bar?

[@nsekor]

I mangled mine on a boulder while following a lifted 4runner through mud 😂 no other damage to the front end so I just took it off all bent to hell. Doesn't effect the driving at all.
