Awesome! He needs to patent his amazing creation there if he hasn't already.💖
Hi Ann, he does have a patent for it. He is a very intelligent creative man, Cheers!
It is so satisfying to see a nice person who has initiative and ideas making his dreams come true. And, how nice, in our country that we welcome people from other countries to meld with us for new ideas, customs and learning. Good luck getting into Reno!!!!!
Hi Craig, I agree. Austin is a National Treasure! Cheers!
I wish you have a branch store in Las Vegas that can do installation as well.
If you contact Austin at Hiros Hotrods and see if he has an installer near you. Good luck, Cheers!
What Hiro did for you with that swivel seat install is way better than sliced bread for "Tank the Toaster", Mindy ! Happy trails to You ! 🤣👍
ha ha! I LOVE the Toaster Jokes! Hiro is a Boss. Cheers!
Take care and stay safe!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
Thank you Helene. Cheers!
I loooove my hiro's Swivel seat. Full on game changer.
In other news, my Mindy lift is ordered. Woot!
lol! "The Mindy Lift"....I LOVE it, and I promise that you will too. It makes me smile every day! Cheers!
What an awesome swivel upgrade!
It really is! Cheers!
Loved meeting Austin!
He is a REALLY Cool Dude. Cheers!
Can't wait to have mine installed and waiting for the passenger side to be available and buy that one too, thank you Austin.
#SWIVELLIN' Cheers!
Yay on the upgrade to Tank...bummer on the issues with 9th! I'm sure by now you're all fixed up and enjoying life in the desert! Have fun!
That's the plan! Thank you, Cheers!
Looks great! How fun..
Hey Sincin, it changes the whole camping/living experience. Cheers!
Hey Mindy, love the swivel. Such a game changer for being comfortable. Hope 9th’s are basic easy fixes. Take care see you on the next one 👍
Hi Anne, thank you for the kind regards. To be continued...lol! Have a great weekend Hun, Cheers!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Your element is beautiful.
Thank you, Cheers!
Love that❤
Me too Misty, got my swivel on! Cheers!
If this was available for the Toyota FJ Cruiser it would be an instant hit.
awwww...my "other" Dream Rig! I agree. Cheers!
Oh my, Mindy, my head is spinning. The Tank, the 9th, Canada, Oregon, Washington, the desert , I'm really lost, lol. Anyway, great seeing Hiro himself, doing the swivel seat install. I've been saving up for one myself. I read today, that there are other locations for s proper professional install near me. One in Vancouver Wa., and also in Graham Or. Cool, as I'm in Gldstone , Or. Happy travels, I'll do my best to keep up with where you really are 👀🤷
Life on the Road! The people that I would trust with the install are Austin from Hiro's Hot Rods & Nick from Tonkin Gresham Honda. Both people have full functioning shops with tools and experience to do the install correctly. Good Luck, Cheers!
Thanks for your reply. Yes, Nick at Gresham will be the best choice for me, I thought that's whom you would recommend, cool. I appreciate you. 🤸🤟
Oh Nice a swivel seat will be a nice added addition. you could sit there and eat rather than sitting on the cott and yes gives you more room for things for sure love it Mindy . Always nice that you can travel from the snowy mess to where you have sun and warmth. Nice coverage you have to cover you in case of issues. well vehicle to need some lovins occasionally, Batterie regular maintenance for sure eh really looking forward to where you and 9th go.
I did fail to do my necessary checks and upkeep this time, and just look where it got me. Stay tuned, Cheers!
i am looking forward to your next video
Stay safe out there and hope Ninth is an easy fix for you.
Thank you Douglas, you are a Peach. Come back to see, Cheers!
Did you make into town?? I hate that road and to have car issues on it is scary. We call Reno Skeeno in the old skool punk rock world. LoL We have 3 acres outside of town. Theres a nice (and almost empty) camp ground by Davis Creek otw south right off of 395 just after Reno if you need... The sun is out today! 💚
Thank you for these great tips. Cheers!
i would argue that you COULD drive with it this way because of the same reason they make rear facing baby car seats.
i had a honda civic with no passenger side view mirror. CHEAP CX HATCHBACK and it was not the only car like that.
some cooler sports cars have the mirrors mounted on the fenders since forever.
have you ever driven with someone who is used to being the driver and they lean forward all the time to look both ways as if theyre driving to give you the clear and you have to tell them to lean back because you cant see?
i would have a mirror watcher or smaller person up front rear facing
and sometimes you gotta distribute the weight!
so yeah i think you can drive like that. copilot watching your 6 o'clock!
Thank you for all of this great information. I only plan to leave it swiveled when I am traveling Solo. Easy to use in "touch down & take off" travelling. Cheers!
@@NinthElement i forgot about the seatbelt. would that be an issue?
Not sure if you are still in Nevada or not? I live in Carson City, close to Reno and Lake Tahoe. If still here, do you need anything? Wanna have lunch or something? Hope the baby is Ok!
Thank you so much for this kind support. I would have loved to meet you. Maybe next time? when I don't break down. Cheers!
Hello Mindy ! Wondering why you used the passenger side for the swivel seat? Guessing your build plans are reversed than ninth. Have a safe trip to the warmth!❤
Hi Dori, you are correct. I do have different plans for this build. So excited to share this journey with you. Cheers!
Love your tastes in music. Do you remember the song you used at 11:10 ? I know it's on Epidemic somewhere lol.
Thank you so much, Cheers!
Awesome video as always Mindy…love watching your videos. I installed my swivel passenger seat last July, and just recently got the driver side but this one needs more work and more metal cutting to install. So looking for someone to install it , none in Michigan though. Hey can you elaborate on the curtain you have behind the seats, what products are you using and how is hooked on the car..would love to know please. I have been trying to come up curtain ideas and I think yours is great. I have the heat shield sun shades for all the windows but too much work and they take space when they are rolled-up.
Curtain is a better idea in my opinion. Enjoy your time down south wherever you end up. Love your new Element. I think E-Camper is a great to have.
Hello, and it is so nice to read from you. I am still experimenting with my curtain instal too. So far it is a little pesky, but, I have discovered a new way that I will show in the next few weeks. The Heat Shield Blinds are an awesome idea, in theory, but for full time and ease, they suck. I will be exploring more options for window blinds too. #HondaElementsUnite Cheers!
@@NinthElement sounds great Thanks…can’t wait to attend my first meetup at the Dragon in May.
Ohhh! That is a good meet up to go to. Enjoy, Cheers!
Looks like you're having a great time just to help far. South, are you going?
Chasing 70 is the plan. Cheers!
I must road trip and aquire. How much higher is the one seat vs the driver seat now?
Come to the PNW! I sit on a cushion so I think it only raises it a little. Check in with Austin @HirosHotrods and he can answer all of the technical questions. Cheers!
You can get RV insurance for the Element?
My SUV is a Van Conversion Camper now. Cheers!
300 sales would be 10,000 if the price was $100-$150 instead of highway robbery. I'll fabricate my own out of principle.
Good Luck with that, Cheers!
Just swivel it’
See the world around you*😁😊
🇯🇵🤍❤️
Safe travels
~ ♥️
lol! Too cute. YES! Cheers!
