Lifted Off-Road Toyota Corolla Review! The Most Fun Ever For $350!

Literally the world we live in now.

[@Hershel_777]

@@themadscientest lifted cars are fun off-road. It doesn't compare to my Jeep on 35's but things that are boring in the Jeep are super fun in a lifted car. Plus when you go places a car shouldn't be and see the looks of people in built rigs watch you go bouncing up an obstacle and make it and cheer you on it makes it worth it. I get told it's the coolest Honda in town cause I actually use it not just farting around town. Lol.

The most reliable car that guy will ever own, even with all that abuse. My wife’s Corolla S had 160k miles, not too many. Sold it two years ago. Never had an issue with it, only maintenance. Great car!

[@zalien6]

Did you buy another Toyota?

[@StevenSVT]

zalien6 we were going to buy, at the time we sold the corolla, a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6. But instead bought a 2017 Honda Accord Touring V6 with 9,000 miles, Super nice sedan! Hopefully it holds up like the Toyota...

[@fireblade3655]

Thats how cars should be, local american car companies cut corners in quality and design but offer fancy features instead

[@StevenSVT]

Fire Blade agree 100%. I mean, I still buy Our USA Built cars, I have a 2017 Mustang GT. I love that car! But I do agree, they definitely cut corners... Spend more money on features than parts material.

[@Dreamcardriving]

Notification said offroad Toyota Corolla I could not pass!!!!!

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

The first time I saw it I was like “plz let me make video”

[@Dreamcardriving]

@@ThatDudeinBlue Thanks for making it happen I'm enjoying the video!

[@Matrix-tx5ff]

I absolutely love my Toyota Corolla. It’s bulletproof. Last night I was going stargazing and the GPS took me on this crazy dirt road (the folly of blindly trusting Google). It may not be true “off road” but it felt like it; big rocks, crazy inclines, snow-moistened dirt… and it did it, somehow. And my car isn’t even lifted!

[@tomclerke7472]

Yours a standard front wheel drive? I just bought one from 1990 and am curious what it's capable of!

[@basithph8958]

I like how creative Spencer is Your Corolla is just soo cool!

[@chriserz94]

This would be on another level if it was an XRS or a matrix AWD swap, preferably with the addition of the rare optional TRD supercharger for some more low down torque.

[@jvogler_art4708]

Meh, you won't need that kind of traction if you don't have the clearance. You're better off just sending it in a 2WD. a trutrac or a detroit locker is probably better. Or both AWD and lockers is probably most ideal, but in the world of off-roading clearance is so important. I would take a 2WD truck with a locker over an AWD lifted car for offroading. You won't get very far with your differentials slamming into rocks, which is why for this kind of build i'd rather just go with the cheapy FWD or RWD. Obviously the best build is a true 4x4 truck with high clearance, and front and rear lockers. That is the most ideal of all.

[@billbergen9169]

From drift legend, to economy car to Mad Max styled offroader, the Corolla is a beast.

[@alexanderramirez8670]

This for the most part just shows the power of the modern state of the aftermarket and how it has become alot more accessible to the point of making any vehicle commit to any niche task you want it to do

[@Johnny-tq9no]

I mean all we really did was put tires and then some skid plates this really isn't the ideal setup it's not at all the right thing for the job

[@midwestsneakerhead6511]

I love weird quirky unique builds like this haha!! This was so freakin cool!! Unique and cool builds like this are refreshing and a nice change of things from the usual builds!! Great video David!! This was super cool!! I never thought I’d like a Corolla as much as I do this one, but I do haha!! Awesome video!!

[@bricegraham8256]

DUde this is actually pretty cool. Reminds me of Gingium's Rally Miata.

[@sirhooplehead8582]

I have a 2001 Corolla that I've been seriously thinking of modifying like this. My biggest question, the suspension lift, was answered in the first 2 minutes! Strut spacers, otherwise stock. Easy, peasy! Thanks! Now to watch the rest of the video...

[@v8_sami]

Okay about to lift my 15 legacy.

That's easy, just use Outback parts

[@therootedprogress]

Do it!!!!

[@juanpache1576]

This corolla is everything I live for

[@jvogler_art4708]

No one wants to admit this, but even without the lift and tires and all the novelty of that stuff, this is the best car ever made. This particular generation of corolla is rock fucking solid. The fact that there's one out there with 300k mobbing down trails with a lift kit on... They're seen as throwaway utilitarian cars so people are okay with doing this to them... But they're actually stone reliable work horses that need very little work on the engine through hundreds of thousands of miles of use. But because everyone has one, they're not good enough for people. The fun of this car is that it won't leave you stranded or breakdown and that you can watch your wallet grow while you save money on gas and car payments. That's the fun of this car. It's the perfect car to grow your bank account with. Ole faithful.

[@666Musik]

Corollas are totally the best, most practical cars ever...

I had a 79 Toyota Corolla Sr5 Sport Coupe Deluxe with a R20 under the hood. One of the toughest little cars I ever saw or had the privilege to drive. It was my first car and as a young teenage boy I can tell you I put that car through more than any car should ever have to go through and expect it to still be running.

You are so right about going slow on a trail feeling fast, there's a really bumpy back road close to my house that I've gone 50 on, and it feels like you're flying. Best thing is that my stock sedan can handle it with no mods.

[@Gadget293]

I took my stock corolla down some similar roads. I'm not surprised at the performance at all.

Almost any vehicle can do that with enough speed. If you don’t have traction you want momentum.

Okay, so I saw this car in real life in Holly Springs, GA before this video came out. To say I was amused was an understatement. Small world!

[@williammontano7854]

Yes sir! I plan on doing a TDI 2.0 swap keeping it fwd 3in lift to compensate for the extra weight. Rolling/flaring the fenders for that fo wide body look. Custom tube front and rear bumper w/skid plate in the front and a winch and doing a cb whip mount on the back the. Bringing the tub bumpers up the a pillars to a custom roof rack and throwing some lights upfront and some wheel well lights. Gonna do a Jeep style rear tire mount that swings out and in place of the original spare tire spot I'm putting a small air tank so I can put a train horn so where. And finally a tow hitch because I wanna make people trip even harder when I tow my dirt bike behind me. Considering doing two small 5 gallon aux fuel tanks in the trunk behind the wheel wells that just top off the main tank when needed

[@dakotadillon6527]

I would suggest gearing but it's his daily. The awd from the matrix sounds awesome but even just a decent lsd would expand the reach of this awesome little Corolla. Great job!

You don’t want the Matrix AWD/4WD setup done. It only came in automatic transmission and the driveshaft/rear diff doesn’t hold well with rough abuse like what you want to do with it. 😔

I have a Matrix 4WD/AWD and was close to getting a TRD supercharger before I was recommended putting money into drivetrain and what parts are weak and will shred/break. 😞 only seem 2 people do it but they’ve done much more than just slap the blower on.
