    Loved this video. Like all of us who drive stock Elements, the only thing many of us don't like is the lack of clearance and how that limits where we can go. Great to see the capabilities of these modified rigs.

      Thank you! I was honestly impressed my self I did not know the Honda element was so capable definitely getting a 2 inch lift soon.

    @Isaac_L.. Před 2 měsíci +3

    My Element has a 2 inch lift and 215/85 r16 Toyo M55s (10 ply), which is the absolute biggest diameter tire that will fit in the wheel wells with some minor modifications (grinding down pinch welds). I think it could handle everything in this video (maybe not the hill at the end). If Honda ever rereleases the Element I would definitely like to see more offroad capability: a v6 (or 8) as standard with some lower gears and a proper 4 wheel drive instead of "all wheel drive" (aka front wheel drive with real wheel assist). That would literally be my dream car for what I do.

    I love my Element so much, there is no way I would do any of this kind of off roading with it. It is my winter wheels here in Canada and I plan to have it a very long time. Right now it is garaged and is on summer holidays. It is a grey metallic 2008 ex awd manual. Simply one of the best car ever made imo! It has 202,000 kilometres on it's way to 400,000.

  • @miriamvillarreal-wilson6418

    I have a bone stock '08 Mazda Tribute fwd 2.3 four banger that I take off roading. Absolutely no modifications done to it. I took it around Hidden Falls Adventure Park, and the trails of Bastrop with no problems. You can do this kinda stuff with just about any suv really.

  • @catharticcathexis4527
    @catharticcathexis4527 Před rokem +1

    The lift definitely helped but it was the tires that made the difference it looks like on the hill climb.
    That pre-runner front is so sick too.

  • @Planner38
    @Planner38 Před rokem +2

    I have always liked the Element because my mother owns a 2004 Element. It has always had a unique feel and look. Driving the Element is always fun.
    That being said, I am not sure whether to laugh or to cry at videos like this one. The Element is underpowered, is of unibody construction, and was not designed fore aggressive off-read performance. Modifying an Element is tantamount to modify my Nissan Rogue. It is a non-starter.
    To be serious about going off-road, you need a serious vehicle. For me the serious vehicle is a 2021 Tundra.

    • @bc4198
      @bc4198 Před rokem

      I need more details - is it just a better value for light duty use, or is there something actually preferable about the cheaper one? Is the Flatout rig running without swaybars, is the 4" lift running without drops, or is there something else with the suspension? Or is it just those tires?
