INSANE Honda Element Overland Camping Rig

[@Driftuner]

The Element is one of those rare cars that should have never went out of production

[@gramasofine]

Wow I need one of these.😊

I have a Honda Element. NEVER letting it go. I'll put a new engine in it before I give it up.

[@DHFlip18]

Watch the rear trailing arm rust, my snapped off at a red light. Thank goodness I wasn't driving at the time.

[@gs8259]

Buy a Passport, it's what the Element should've been.

[@milsurprifles]

We had an element for a number of years. It was a fantastic car, Honda should have never quit making them. They should re-release one with an overlander package in AWD.

[@lyfandeth]

I've driven one. For pavement driving, the ride is lousy. But I wish Honda had kept it, there was SO much potential in those cars!

[@trumpsmum9210]

Put some coil-overs on it with some 18 inch wheels it's so much better on the highway

[@IntegraDIY]

i like how much room is inside. most people have too much clutter inside these. this one is decked out on the outside, and clean and simple on the inside

[@westeed1]

Holy accessories! All that shit is worth more than the car it’s attached to.

[@thomastrotter6155]

Never seen so much stuff bolted on to a car before

[@bc4198]

​@@thomastrotter6155 Beyond how it's fairly average among overlanders, that's sort of a thing in the Element scene, like all the mirrors and shit on scooters back in the 60s Mod scene. The excuse would probably be given that it's a celebration of their quirkiness and extremely utilitarian nature... but deep down there's the factor of compensating for the off-road limitations. People are finding ways to improve that (ones with manual transmissions can use Civic/Acura racing upgrades), but they'll never have low range and the stock ground clearance is an issue.

Amazing !! Utility to max !!

[@meredithheath5272]

Agree - leave out the back seats!! That's what I would do, as well! Awesome!

[@derikcooper5369]

THAT IS AN AWESOME ELEMENT ❤❤

I actually thought you were trying to sell it there for a minute and I was going to say 🙂how much

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Ha ha. No

[@mjones1684]

It actually is for sale. I'm from Jersey and saw it come up on FB Marketplace. They are asking 12k.

( Wish the guy would not talk so loud in this video 😢 - distracting) That is one cool "rig" - inside, large roof netting, solar, ' frig.... ( I wouldn't have a full mattress, but... otherwise...) Thanks for this video!!!

Sick ass ride!

[@MichaelMaruska]

I miss driving my element the it rusted so bad the backwheel rusted off I want all four wheels on the road I sincerely like this machine and Misa driving it The motor runs great

[@deathuponusalll]

Badass little vehicle🔥

[@ThatOneGuyFromSchool]

Super cool and I want it all for my 08 element 🙏 but mines not AWD 😵, though I've heard the elements AWD is pretty badly anyways 😬 is that true?

[@Mango10449]

I have an 03’ and it’s great in snow, ice, dirt, gravel, hills, fields.. no complaints.

[@raazays1]

They should start making them again with hybrid engine or even ev. It would be amazing camping vehicle .

[@romedog]

love it

[@bc4198]

Ohhh, that back bumper 👀

[@DHFlip18]

Love my Element but watch the rest trailing arm rust, to my just rusted thru inside out. Cost me $2,500 to have it repaired. Wish the mpg was better too.

[@amyb5457]

Ok I am probably asking the dumbest question but what is a. Snorkel?

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

A snorkel allows the engine to not suck in dust debris and water. It puts the intake at a higher position.

[@_diogenes1]

Important when crossing deep water. Allows the car to breath above water so it won’t turn off.

[@edgardoortiz3734]

What kind of snorkel is that where I can find it

[@regalt1987]

Need to change out those rear hatch shocks for longer ones.

[@bobbythurman4456]

Where did you get your snorkel?

[@8DC_VR_Avatar_Infinite.678]

Where did you buy the rear bumper??

[@TaylorandDaddy]

Cool

[@DarkFoxV]

I need info about these window/door guards. These look awesome. Also, my friend has an Element, they absolutely love it!!

[@CrakimaWA]

Lots of room in that rig which has no power at all, hp that is. Looks cool, I'll give you that.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yeah, definitely looks cool

[@DriveVibeAuto]

Supercharger pending.

[@gs8259]

Had one for six years. Abysmal gas mileage, zero balls for passing, but it was extremely durable.

[@DriveVibeAuto]

Sounds like you had the 4 speed auto. This is 5 speed manual and has way more pep in its step over an auto.

[@yvettetiger1922]

I need that

[@alfmar95]

Where can I get these for my own element

[@_j0rd4n_]

its nothing for a honda

[@cardonaman]

These are well known to go 500k+ miles no problem

[@heathermencer2367]

It’s just a baby!!!!

[@dukevanlien4985]

Fire

[@drue6360]

And not a speck of dirt on ANY of it. I haven’t ever seen these “overland” rigs on the trails or in the mountains, what a shame.

[@DriveVibeAuto]

I run a detailing business and use this as a work van. If I’m not actively out on an adventure, there is no need for the car to be filthy.

[@shirlamgold8597]

Cool Baby

[@Wheeets]

A low 200,000 miles is HIGH That's the the mileage point where engines shred to pieces

[@alexs.5675]

And every accessory you can think of 😅

[@taterkaze9428]

No 4 wheel drive what's the point?

[@Noobchannel518]

Low 200,000 miles. Said no one ever. 😂

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Due to math it’s low mileage for the year. Many Honda element owners have more than 300,000 miles on their cars.

[@_diogenes1]

And this will run for over 500k easily

[@Noobchannel518]

Good thing it isn't a jeep. If it was a jeep you'd be lucky to get 230k miles out of it. Hondas do last pretty long. After the 200k mark. Same with Toyota. Some Chevy's last pretty long too. I had a Silverado at 500k miles it ran pretty damn good for having that many miles on it. I used to travel with it.

[@huckleberry8864]

If you know nothing about this particular engine (not just Honda), then why comment. I have 250k on my element and NOT even a single engine issue in all the years. Just normal tires, brakes, and struts, battery, etc. This ain't a domestic car.

[@facetious_1]

Thats a chunky lil tank....

[@kettlenaut7988]

LOL low mileage 200k. Yup got my low mileage 05 Camry with 255k, which no doubt will got to at least 500k if not a mill :D

Those tires……..😂

[@remedy334]

Wow

[@dv8740]

Could have bought a 4 runner with what's invested in that civic

[@huckleberry8864]

Nah...not the same practicality. I have an element and owned a 4runner before. My element with the suicide doors and amount of space without rear seats blows the practicality out of the water on any other trucks i've owned. My E is the only vehicle I never ever considered selling unlike many other cars I've owned.

[@DriveVibeAuto]

4Runner is only better because of 4x4. Otherwise it sucks.
