I just picked up an 08 EX a month ago. Gray (although it looks forest green to me). Your wheels are sick bro! I'm liking the lift as well.
Wow, you got a gem! I’ve got an ‘03 Ex 210,000miles, still going strong.
Yeah i heard these motor can do 300k no problem.
Nice Wheels
Thanks.
Awesome build
any recommendation for new video update?
@@projectkod keep it up flowing, your element is super clean 😎👍
Welcome to Element youtube! LOVE those wheels
Need to upload more... hehe
@@projectkod yes please!
@@StephenAldaco any suggestions on what topic?
@@projectkod my everyday struggle 🤣
Loving it! Did you hear Mr. Dominic joined the Element camp?
Lol yah he talked to me for a bit and he went and bought one
@@projectkod he makes moves! Good thing he went to the best man for info.
Knocks on the Plastic Panel :)
Great build bro! Looks awesome!
I'm glad you like it, I'm still working on it
Now that's a nice looking Element!
Man. Whats next for you brotha! Full eletric? RIVIAN? It fits you. 👍🏾
nice set up!
Thanks I actually built a sleeping set up for it, I will shoot a video soon. Stay tune.
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice E. like those tires. I have the 05 EX AWD.. Love it.. Has been great with all the snow we are having.
yea definitely good tires for all around. The noise level is very good for an All Terrain tire. I used to Falken Wildpeak and they were just amazing. Same size 235/70/16
Honda Element! I didn't know it had that door! That's insane. Was the Element discontinued?
it did discontinue since 2011. All I read in the forum is that people want a redesigned one, but i don't think it will happen haha. The CRV has a strong market and selling too well, plus now they have Pilot and Passport.
Looks almost similar to mines I’m also doing the same swing spare tire carrier nice E btw
Yeah best way to do it without paying an arm or leg for it. I picked up mine for like 90 or 100 bucks.
Clean!
thanks! Are you local Element owner as well?
I'm getting ready to buy a 2008 Honda Element with 77.0 k miles
What has been the biggest problem with this 2008 element?
Or could you tell me, what to watch out for?
Hi Marianne - hopefully, I didn't answer your question too late. For 2008, it is typical of any car that is 15 years or older. Check all the suspension component and make sure that the upper and lowered balljoint are good, wheel bearing. engine mounts, struts/shocks. Also, check for the Catalytic converter and see if it's an original. Since they seem to be targets for thieves to resale those. If the car is from a state that snows. check the undercarriage for rust, especially in the rear subframe area. Other than that, run a carfax report and make sure that the seller didn't roll the speedometer miles back to 77k. that seemed to be super low for a 2008. Good luck with the purchase.
nice set up, I have an 07 element . can you provide link to the front bull bar? Thx

Theres other options. Just search license plate led mount
Does it remains 4x4 all the time or you have the option in the car a button or something?
no, but i wish it was like that. This system is like most front wheel bias AWD system, it only kicks in when the computer sense slippage in the front wheels. There's a traction control button that you can turn on and it helps with getting the rear wheels to spin. I know some of the newer systems is equiped with a "Lock"/"Locker" that will allow the rear wheels to stay on traction. The New passport/Pilot and Toyota's Rav4 all have those.
Do you have this for sale?
No. Not for sale at the moment
What wheels are they?
These are klutch km16 . They are 16x9
@@projectkod I thought so. I wish they were still available
Here's a question for any Element owner: When sitting in the rear seats, how far back are you from the rear windows? Looks like they aren't aligned. Also do they retract? My dog loves to sit in the rear of my car with her head out the window.
Not sure the exact distance but I don't think it's possible.
@@projectkod Thanks for the quick reply!
Found a 2008 FWD 212k miles for 4300$ - Maroon color and in great shape- good deal?
Can't go wrong for less than 4,500 dollars for a running car. I see projects and beats going for 3 to 4k these days
@@projectkod thanks i totally agree 👌🍻
@@nikosniko7092 yeppp. Now you are a member of the Element Republic show some love and support channel - idlespeed.co/collections/honda_element
@@projectkod awesome t shirts will buy a couple for Christmas
Very nice Video, Thank you. And very nice car. I am looking at 2008 EX AWD with 99k miles, same color as yours. You recommend this car? Thank you
I think it depends on what you are looking for in a car. It might fit what you are looking for it might not. Go test drive one and see how u like. With 99k miles and 2008 it might be hard to find and paying premium for sure.
Thank you so much...i like to look of it. i was asking about dependability and any major issues that this vehicle might have...if any.
Thank you again
@@malsalah it's a honda so mostly dependable. The motor is pretty solid, lot of owners have over 300k without any rebuild. I think most people will encounter issues after 200k and that's if they ever do maintenance at all. things you should look out for are suspension parts, alternator, coil packs, catalytic converters, pcv valve, spark plugs, radiator, and rust in trailing arm if you live in near states that snows. otherwise, it's a pretty typical honda. low maintence and cheap to repair.
What sound deadening did you use? And did it make a big difference?
I used killmat. It improved a good amount.1wish I went more premium so i know i have the best.
@@projectkod so if I do the same I should probably use dynamat ?
@@jaguars08221 yes might as well use the good stuff. But im happy with the different so far. I will use my remaining mat for the front part of cabin floor.
@@projectkod I had two 2011 ram 1500s at the same time. Used Dynamat in mine, Killmat in wife's. Same stereo, speakers, wheels. Replaced both carpets with vinyl (we have dogs). Used a noise meter, don't remember the readings, but there was absolutely no difference at all...except cost.
@@davidrivera8634 man, thanks good to know. Someone swore by it and told me the killmat isnt as good as the premium stuff. Yeah.. definitely worth a test
