Greatest dog vehicle ever made. One could argue the greatest vehicle ever made. Shocking that Honda has not brought it back. Given the popularity of the Ford Maverick truck it is clear the demand for useful small functional vehicles. The target audience for these vehicles is huge and getting larger due to the economic climate.

[@NinthElement]

I agree, and they are only going up in price now. Cheers!

[@kellkalm6109]

I’m also surprised Honda hasn’t brought it back since the whole Van Life craze has taken off. I guess, though, that was a product of the pandemic… and the pandemic caused problems for car production. I believe the Element’s target audience - at the time - was college-age kids / young adults. I could be mistaken.

[@pujabelgian]

Had a 5spd 06 and 08 A/T. They have a huge fr door, meaning sometimes impossible to get in and out of next to other cars. Very loud on the hwy.. the skylite in the back was pretty useless, maybe good for adding a pop top. On demand AWD is great but it's light duty.. unibody means no frame so the car twists. Not much road clearance so you have to keep that in mind when you forget it's not a Wrangler.. Overall, a good vehicle. We bought an astro and camperized it. Has more room, is surprisingly not much bigger, carries more, including a sm MC on the back and is far more robust. 👍

[@literaryvan6143]

I loved this video! If you watch Bob Wells and his interviews, you realize that there are people of all ages living the nomad life. This is not a “trend” for many people, but a sustainable way of life for many.

[@anitasimmons3599]

Thank you for filming having a tour filmed and previewing it Live. You are such an inspiration. I am older and retired in my mid 50s. I too freaked and worried a lot of people by taking off for the summer to try thru hiking. I lived out of a backpack and had a wonderful adventure. I still leave our comfortable home and backpack for upto 6 weeks at a time, but I learned I don't want to be away from my loved ones much longer than 6 weeks. When I solo vehicle travel it is in an old Jeep Patriot with a very simple easily removable build plus The Chuckbox Camp Kitchen. Having the bed close to the ceiling makes it cozy and in really cold temperatures it is easier to retain heat without a heat source. I love that no one gives the Patriot a second look and it is capable enough to get me to trail heads. I feel you have become healthier and move really well, because of the work you put into getting your house sold and living out of 9th Eliminate. I can totally understand how you can live and adventure out of 9th fulltime. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.

[@NinthElement]

Anita, this is a beautiful note and "testimony" that life is never really over. What lives in our minds can survive outside of our bodies. You can turn anything negative into a positive, and good health will follow. Leap and the neat will appear. I appreciate your support and epic adventure stories. Cheers!

[@nickstice9133]

Looks great! Glad the lift is working out.

[@NinthElement]

Nick, thank you so much for ALL of your help and expertise. Without you this would not have happened. 9th rode beautifully across the country to my first Winter location. Question...did we lift the rear 1.5 inch or 2 inches? Cheers!

[@nickstice9133]

I believe the block is an 1.5. But is a 2 inch lift. The swift springs add another inch or so as well.

[@NinthElement]

Great video. Sweet build. Just FYI, WeatherTech sells window covers for every window that don't require suction cups. They also have silver on one side and black on the other. And older people where doing vanlife way before it was a trend and before it was called vanlife.

Thank you, maybe not right for everyone, but it works for me. Cheers!

[@andrewmcmillan9315]

You could gain a *ton* of room if you dropped the bed down and used shallower stuff underneath, or at least used a thinner mattress. An element with no passenger seats is a ton of room and its being really suboptimally utilized rn and it results in a kind of claustrophobic vibe. Its a nice rig and has all the standard improvements but it'd feel kind of crazy to hang out with during something like a rain

[@NinthElement]

Great little setup, thanks for the complete tour. I really like the idea of a solar panel, the 2" lift, and the swivel seat, those are something for thought (especially the lift). I'm hoping your progress reports will convince me to make those modifications. Enjoy your vagabonding!

[@NinthElement]

Hi Mather, I agree on all of those things. One thing to consider is that I did loose 7 miles per gallon on the current set up. Without the camper in it, I would guess that I lost 3 -4 miles per gallon. I will keep you updated, and feel free to ask questions anytime. Cheers!

Buying an Element at the moment and getting build ideas right now that you! But more than that I completely support the process of your journey. I'm doing the same thing also. You only have one healthy body and that's not promised forever. I know a lot of people that works there hands to the bone waiting to retire so they can go travel but missed a lot because there bodies couldn't keep up anymore. Recommendation: you should link a Bitcoin account for yourself in your videos and give a little promotion to yourself. I would love to buy you a cup of coffee or put a gallon of gas in your tank for your adventures 💯👍🏾

Thank you for the inspiration! I have been part time traveling since 2018 and the entire time I have been feeling stuck because I am too scared to sell my house, or rent it out, even though I know it's time for a change. Every time I come back from the road, I become super unhealthy. Each time I come back, I get worse and feel even more stuck than before. I was traveling back from the PNW to Utah last October and saw someone with a setup very similar to yours at a state park in Idaho! Very cool! I have subbed to your channel! I need all the inspiration I can get to change and become unstuck. I am giving myself 6 months to get this house packed up so that I can start living my life.

[@NinthElement]

Heather, as you can see from my videos and my journeys, it was a matter of living or dying for me. A life in a city with a 9 -5, house and massive bills...me and one income...was no life for me. The road heals. You got this, Cheers!

What a unique and tasteful build! This is so much cooler than a broverlander and their tacoma.

Hey JR, thanks for admiring my handy designing. Let's see how she does on and off the road. Cheers!

I decided to live in my car for ONE MONTH while I looked for the next perfect apartment. That month went by quick and easy. So, I’ll try it for another month. That lasted 3 and a half YEARS. It’s a completely different life. You do things all day long, but you have all day to do them. It’s a way more active, yet at the same time , way more laid back type of life. I had to go out of my way to find interesting things to do each day. So you just LIVE more fully. Only those that have done it will understand. I lived in a 1997 Firebird Convertible in Los Angeles. Before smart phones and the internet. It was something.

I LOVE this comment! Hello and welcome to my channel. I too lived out of a vehicle while traveling to Baja in 1997. In 1999 I did it again and went to Alaska, this was before #valife and cell phones for the average broke joe! Until you do it, you just don't know. Hotels can be gross and grossly overpriced, as well as depressing. The ability to drive, park and sleep in beautiful places, is was keeps me hooked. Thanks for watching, Cheers!

Awesome video..I think that the best setup is the bed being at floor level and the cabinets built around going up the van walls..also there is no seating for another person and one is a lonely number 😰🥰🥰🥰

You Do You Boo! I am living my best Solo life out of my Lifted Element! Cheers!

You did it right and have a pair. I know your age, I'm a couple years older than you and I full intend to do it. I am already partially disabled and it'll only get worse with age, so it's time I quit and take it easier so I can keep what health I have for as long as I can and I'm just making it worse by continuing to work. I need to quit ASAP. Trying to get some ducks in a row and one of these days, we'll meet as well as Isaac and Jalena too and a few other channels. I'll be roaming someday. I'd actually prefer a bus, but they are expensive right now. I don't think they're coming down anytime soon either. You used a perfect analogy about doing it. Great advice to start with the vehicle you have and do it for a weekend or a month, or even a week. Go camp out in your car at a rest area somewhat local to your home and give it a go and see how you like it. Your Element is set up great, but I couldn't do that bed. I'm claustraphobic. I couldn't have that ceiling in my face when I wake up. Being that you do intend to get off road a bit, consider a winch for the front of the 9th. With it's weight, you can likely get by with a 12,000lb winch quite easily and be more than enough. A 10K would be enough too, but a 12K wouldn't even have to work hard at all if and when needed.

I am glad that you enjoyed this. It has been so fun building it and now touring in it. Cheers!

Thank you Ronnie, I did a lot of research on this before I had it built out. It is my Dream Home on the Road! Cheers!
