Off-roading in a real 4×4 might be too easy sometimes, especially with all the technology that comes with modern SUVs. The cool and brave kids are driving the food delivery people to and from the dunes. So, if you want to be in with the cool kids, you might want to drive this safari Honda Civic.

You can find this build on Facebook Marketplace. It started with a 2002 Honda Civic Si. The sport compact got a rugged makeover that fits all the classic safari ideals. It has a 1.5-inch lift that gives it more ground clearance and thick Yokohama Gelande tires on beautiful steel wheels. Flares show off the bigger tires and hide the cuts that had to be made in the holes of the fenders. A snorkel is also included to keep the engine running when passing dangerous water.

A great safari build has all the visual cues, and the Civic is no different in this way. It has a top rack that can hold a number of spotlights that can be pointed forward or backward. Also, there is a bash bar with six extra lights on the front body. The owner says that the car “makes its own daylight,” which we believe. Abeam switch panel makes it look like the lights are also hooked correctly. More than we can say about most jobs that you do yourself.

One trouble with the car is that the Truck Mutz in the back is hanging down. The car has a small exhaust leak and doesn’t have a catalytic converter, so it won’t be easy to pass pollution. Because it was used as it was meant to be, the body is also full of rock chips. A pair of strong motor mounts that were put on for a K24 swap that never happened are another big source of vibration.

People say that the car works and drives really well. It’s also said to still have legal Utah license plates as of October, giving you plenty of time to register it yourself. It’s for sale for $6,500 and has 202,000 miles on it. If you like the changes, this could be the trip star that makes your summer fun. If you get it, put a cool plastic cover on it and send us some pictures from the dunes. Have a good time hunting!
