This is one of the best builds I have seen for any overlanding/camper vehicle. Amazing!!!

This thing is a monster. I don’t have the camper pop out but this is truly inspiring stuff for my 2008 EX. If he’s still working on the box dividers, I’d reccomend making them into a multifunctional divider/cutting board!

I've spent about 500 nights in mine. 2003. One thing I don't recc: building a bed. *Put your bed on the floor.* You'll want some headspace. Trust me. Stuck in the car for 2 days w/ no headroom? Noooooo thanks. Build shelves on the other side (presuming you're solo; if you aren't, you have to suck it up & build the bed.) You don't really lose storage. Just keep your stuff on the bed in a rubbermaid tub + a couple laundry baskets etc. Move em to the front seats/ atop the shelves at night.

I absolutely love what you've done with your element! I sure wish honda would make the element again and with the same amount of room inside too.

Great video and interesting build, kudos to camera and builder. Question: i have a 2008 EX w/ eCamper top and was curious about the cord going around the fabric. Is that to decrease wind noise while sleeping (ours sides flap in the wind) & or to keep the sides from bellowing out while closing?

Hey Stephen if I remember correctly it’s for the wind. I’ll have to ask the owner next time I see him to confirm for sure.

Where did he get the rear bumper?

Does anyone have any info on the front seat covers?

I love the bumper on this...I have swing out rack for my bike, which already sticks out about 18 inches when folded up (Kuat swing out arm + bike rack). So, I was looking for options if I wanted to have a swing out for a spare or other items. With this bumper, instead of added to the length in the rear (spare tire rack + swing out arm + bike rack), I could have the spare attached to the bumper and swing to the left, which would allow for my bike rack to be attached to the original hitch and swing to the right. How much was this bumper? I wonder if there is anyone in the PNW offering this upgrade?

I own a 2006 Honda element and I'm wondering if you did anything to gain more power? Or to the transmission. I put off road wheels and lifted mine (3") and my transmission went out in about a year or so. I'm thinking all this adds a good amount of weight. Was the transmission okay?

@StephenAldaco

Жыл бұрын

I don’t believe he did any mods to the engine. I do have a friend JR, who is swapped the motor for the more powerful K24a2 engine and that Element is pretty quick with lots of power. If you search under my videos, you’ll see it titled mechanic builds, the ultimate off-road

The best tip for Honda’s transmission is change oil every 40 000 miles in EVERY honda, not only Elements

It's really an awesome setup but what is the weight of all those items? The Honda Element is only rated to haul 1500 pounds. With the 20% rule that's 1200 pounds.
