Whats your favorite part of the Honda Element?

"Mindy Lift" I LOVE it. No Saggy Bottoms! Nick is Magik! Cheers!

I loved this video. A number of women in a FB group I’m in have expressed interest in Elements. I was able to post this tour & intro of Nick to a whole new group of potential Elementers seeking the best mechanic😊 thanks so much for posting

This is easily, one of the best Element builds I've ever seen! It's OEM+ at its finest!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

Love your vehicle. My friend has an 08 EX with 322,000 miles. Original engine and trans. Uses no oil, leaks no oil. Oil changed religiously every 3,00 miles. Super reliable vehicle.

Awesome build. I just picked up an '08 in CT with 143,000+. Great shape. Entered into the amazing world of Elements!

Well Done.

What a fantastic Element. Thanks Stephen...

Imagine if they release a new element with the hybrid engine from the new CR-V. That would be super sweet.

BADASS BUILD! Great ideas!

OMG this is one of my Favorites!

You have the best looking Honda Element I have ever seen so far. I wish i can transform my Element just like yours.

Thanks so much Stephen as always, great video!

Dang this was so inspiring!! Thank you so much for this tour Stephen, it totally rocked!! 👍🏻👊🏽

loving those wheels man.

Dig that third light! STICE.

Sweet! Expect to see this and other awesome mods this Sunday!

You ask great questions and he provides exceptional answers. Thank you both!

The more I keep watching you're videos the more I feel like swapping my Renegade Trailhawk for an Element! I would love to see you do a video of how well the Elements do off-roading! ❤️

Am going to make an appointment to see you Nick! Great video -thank you Stephen!

Rad! It's always cool to see other people's E's and what they've been up to with them.. Killer Joe w/ yours, and the builds that you do! These things are just so much fun! Short background: I grew up a tinkerer - mostly on dirtbikes, then got back into minitrucks.. Specialized in lifting/lowering, then got into extensive fab, air/hydraulic systems, etc. Fast forward: 3 custom shops later, and well over 50 vehicles later.. I spotted the E. My buddy Corey scored one, put his CRX / HB addiction on hold, and did up the box.. Awesome! I'm a Truck Guy - NOT an 'SUV' guy or 'mini-suv' guy, but the E had ONE THING that set it apart.. That Rear Tailgate! - Just like the 5th Gen HBs. Hell Yes! Figured I'd snag one eventually, and after having TWO Audi TT Quatros t-boned, I drove from NY to PA and cored my 'dream model'. 2005 AWD / Gunmetal gray exterior / gray interior / 5spd manual. Absolutely flawless mint condition in/out. Fred Bean's autogroup - Nissan specifically. Thanks 'CarGuru'! haha I think that was back in 2017ish. I kid not.. I've also only washed the thing a handful of times! NY winter/salt - It gets driven. NEVER Washed. Spring Cleaned and ignored.. Only driven. [Unless I absolutely redecorate it w/ mud when off roading] To this day - Zero Rust! I kept it mostly stock - Which is the polar opposite of my norm, but, wanted to make it last.. [I had / have a game-plan] To lift it, I just went with 1 size up past the max sized tires, and the stance rocks. Brain's dead, but, I think they're BF Goodies, and super aggressive tread. I enjoy the Hummm Grabbed an OEM rack, then threw a full length cargo basket up top.. -Still planning on fabbing a folding/hinging ladder for the side or back. 42?K mi when I got it.. And it recently clicked over to about 100K more. Runs Flawlessly! Annoying 'hanging brake' sound no matter how many times I fix it, but, oh well.. So back to the 'game plan'. Everyone's seen the old RedBull-Trucks? Mini-Coopers [poorly] modified into micro-trucks w/ the BIG can in the back.. Well.. Same basic idea for the E. I've converted a few cars to trucks, trucks to convertibles, and that idea has always stuck! Like I mentioned before - I'm not an SUV guy, I'm a Truck guy. lol It's not just US.. I've shown a lot of people the E's features - as far as the seat setup / cargo options, etc. and more than a handful of people ended up buying their own. That rocks. Mine is also daily driven, it's driven all over state land trails, back side of 2 ski-resorts, It's been jumped.. okay.. LAUNCHED a few times.. hahaha The thing just keeps on tickin'! I think the only actual 'repairs' I've had to do where a few complete vtec solenoid setups, and random brake components - for that 'hang'.. Love it. And I've hung onto to it like 10 x longer than any of the vehicles I've had before. This year, I was tempted to tear it all down into an EXO-buggy, but, couldn't bring myself to do it. It's just too nice. Honda NAILED IT w/ these! I wasn't at all fond of the newer version, but.. Hope they continue the line - down the line. It's ridiculous that they stopped production for as long as they did. **Shrug** Sam -

pretty sweet, gotta say though.. I'm loving the extra space 2 feet longer inside fit's 4x8 sheet., affordability and parts availability of my Second Gen awd sienna that I lifted. It's great.

Really nice Element, probably one of the nicest I've seen. I love seeing all the custom things people do with theirs. It kinda looks like a 2000's Grand Cherokee crossed with a Land Rover from the front. I've never actually seen that dog package before but I am fairly new to the Element scene. If there are any other weird or obscure things like that, I would love to know about them. I have an '08 EXP AWD in Nighthawk Black, and I love everything about it. Mine is mostly stock but I do take pride and joy in the little things, as my roof rack was missing end caps, the cargo nets were missing, so I tracked down lots of things like those. But I am happy to have all sorts of cool features on mine like AWD, the side impact airbags, extra speakers and a sub, the Element floor mats, etc. Plenty of minor upgrades to come, but mine runs like a clock, and came with the original bill of sale, including the entire history of maintenance so I am more than happy with it as is.

Freaking awesome!!

I love my 2003 element. She’s at 270000 and still running strong. I’ve been making sure to take good care of it. Especially since I work at jiffy lube

Very nice..

Look clean.

Ok, yes please!!

Awesome man I have and 05 crv and been thinking of picking up an element

DEEZY getting some shout outs!

LOVE LOVE! We have a 2011 EX with a 2022 eCamper. Getting ready to mod this year. Thank you for all of the ideas! I am definitely reaching out to the person who designed the swivel seats mod. Also, RobDeezy and CounterProductive. Thank you Stephen for sharing!!

Nice my lx didn’t have the pocket I put one in mine mounts up good just had to piggyback the wires to make the light switch work. Awesome build

Great build. I am on the same page when it comes to the SC styling but 4WD is a must. I have 2 C-RV's and both have the 4WD option. Would have loved it if they made a dog package for my '07 CR-V. Good video Stephen.

Thanks for sharing, you did an amazing job with that E. Probably the best looking one I have seen to date. Can you share the wheel and tire specs please, thanks.

Damn was thinking about elements. I’m sold

I've always admired the Element. Owned a 2000 Insight for 5 years and love it. Just bought my '05 Element yesterday. Glad to find your video. Its a bit ragged on the inside due to animals. Like the guy in video, the people had used it on the farm. There is a lot of work to do under the hood. Read all the records on upkeep they had available going back to oil changes to 2018. All the suggested maintenance they didn't do. I need advice. The Radiator has crack on top cover- will need replaced or temporarily do a JB Welds on it. Right rear strut leaking - will need replaced Both lower ball joints will need replaced Horn not working - SRS indicator light is on - possibly clock spring will need replaced Both front seats have tear CD player not working - Radio works Glove compartment does not lock and the cruise control doesn't work or light up. I asked when they last changed the spark plugs. They didn't have an answer for that.

Dude, WHAT!!!

Anyone know info on where to get that rear tailgate storage kit? I just picked up the exact same Element (year, color, trim) and this thing is SICK!!!! 😍

Legends on the road! Just don’t block the EV charging spots😉

This car has aged really well if people are asking if this is a baby land rover.

Funny I recognized Nick's car just from the wheels and tires you have!

Love the rear view mirror and need to know where to get one! Thanks

Interested in the Rob Deezey Lift Strut plates. In the video he mentions that Rob makes another/updated version where it also has extra tie down plates. I looked on element driven and don’t see anything.

Is there any videos showing how to install the rear hatch switch like this one has?

What size tires?

So clean, how did you make that grill with that mesh front?

got an '04 with 260,000 miles and i plan on never selling and keeping her alive. The car is so reliable and roomy!

Very nice build. We'd appreciate something in the notes that explains where some of the aftermarket parts come from.

Sweet build. Question about the hatch strut mod. which are they? I've read they're the VW Beetle ones? is this correct. and, does the extra lift interfere with the spoiler, or the stock antenna? any clearance issues?

@stephenAldaco did you have to modify those HPD mudflaps in order to get them to fit? Or was it as simple as making new screw holes...?

Ya'll got skills!! Nice. I'm really diggin the dog seat covers. Tell me more. Are they oem or available somewhere?

I like the rear hatch button..wonder if I can do the same

So the Bilstein setup is out of a what ? And what had to be done to retrofit it to work here ? Also im assuming this would work on my 2008 ex. Thanks

Can we please get full wheels specs. Offset size and also tire size and if he used spacers or not.

mine has no mods except for the front side speakers because I needed highs for sound

Sweet 16:01

3:34 I thought that was my SC for a second omg, scared me

Where did you get those seat covers? I'm in the market for some! Thanks,

What rearview mirror is that? I just hit a deer with mine and was looking to buy a new one, but think I'll redo the front end as there was no frame damage and after changing the radiator seems to work fine... 03 just at ~299400 live these things!

Love the mudflaps. So do the passport trailsport mudflaps bolt on or did they need modification? Also what year passport?

Does he have his own channel by chance? I'd like to get that same rear view mirror and those struts on the lift gate.

What are the q towers called?

Who got the link on the stice 3d printed center console?

Stephen - What make is that rear view mirror? 🙏🏼

Was the tsx brake upgrade only for the front or the back too?

I'm thinking of getting one but would not use it for off road or camping. Just a daily driver for to and from work, school, and friends. Is that a good idea?

I can't quite make out what you two are saying the rear view mirror is. Can someone elaborate for me? I'm interested!

Where is this place located? I got a SC 2009 Honda element I wanna do some work on

I had a 2007 Element EX which I loved. The gas mileage not so much, and the rear wheels always looked like they flared outwards. Other than that a great vehicle!

wow nice element 👍🏻 Where do i get the Leather AT Shift Knob ? 😳🧐

Can you sent me the website for buying center console please?

I can't find that center console he's talking about. Where? Looked anywhere on Etsy and nothing

What is that rear view mirror

Looks great, but with all that gear, lift tires, the gas mileage has to be BAD!

god i hate the -1 Camber, why did they do that

Car zyoom

Csn someone tell me the rims?

what's wrong with the video? What was the frame rate it was recorded on? Holy. Nice Honda though.

Quick Question - I guess for Everyone: I already threw a rear hitch on my E, but, I would rather have run a Front Hitch.. I have a motorcycle rack, and haul a few different dual sport bikes.. While I 'could' throw the smallest one in the back, and larger one on the rear rack, Wouldn't it be nice to have a front-hitch / rack, so not to be limited to only hauling via the back?! I couldn't find anything.. Zip, Zilch, Nada.. Checking the front end out, I sorta' see why, but.. Has anyone done - or know of anyone who's done a custom front hitch setup on these? I design/fab/weld/paint, so easily done - IF I was still in a shop, but, not anymore.. So just looking for potential options if there's already a 'good/safe' way it's already bee done/tested. Thanks in advance either way. Sam -

He’s a mechanic and did nothing to the engine. Boring

I just picked up an 05 with 73k and Manual trans. Its a time capsule brand new...

So clean, how did you make that grill with that mesh front?
