This 68 year “old lady” still has her 2004 Green Element with the full 5th Element set up. I am in my 11th year camp hosting. Don’t knock girl campers. And this “old lady” drives a standard still (and a ‘67 Mustang).
I live in Santa Fe, NM, and am a cats mom, so I LOVE his shirt! I will never forgive Honda for stopping production of the Element and not selling the Fit in the USA anymore!
I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this video! I kept rewinding because it was chock-full of information. You both had an easy (non-boring) conversation. I also like the editing of the unnecessary parts, AND you gave us links to everything he uses in his setup! Plus his social media. Half-baked, dull tours that omit crucial details of the construction and have needless banter irritate me. I am attempting to organize my construction, and I will definitely be saving this video for later use. I am grateful. Here's a new subscriber!
Thank you for such a kind comment and for subscribing you are the best 🤙. I don’t always post tours so hopefully you don’t mind the occasional vlog mixed it. Definitely more tours in the future 👌
Greetings from NYC! Oh WOW! I didn't realize that Geraldo Rivera was part of the Element community. That's cool. LOL! Tom has a great setup. When I FINALLY get an Element, I will probably copy a lot of the stuff that he has. Thanks for letting us in your tiny home Tom 🙂
Being a minimalist, it's a bit too much for me. I keep my rear seats out so I can use the cargo space for so many different things. Camping, hauling, sleeping, etc. When Im camping I use a small folding cot to sleep on. I found four of those black containers with yellow lids fit snugly in the rear, then I just pull them all out for camping. That's what's great about the Element, it can be anything you want it to be.
Thanks for this video tour - have wanted an Element for quite a while. I always thought there was lots of storage below if the spare tire was taken out -as yours is on the roof. But you didn't talk about that storage....does it exist and you're just not using it???
@@nisagomez4366when he showed the broadway mirror, that’s what I thought of. Guy in high school had one in his dodge charger. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen.
I like your bed but was there some reason you didn’t go with the Fifth Element couch/bed other than price? I thought the way the couch sists looks nice.
This and the Fit were major losses for Honda. Everything remotely utilitarian has been wiped out for a basic bland SUVs. Love the Element modding community and all the interesting parts that have been developed.
Not at all, it basically drives around as a fwd to save gas- then if the wheels slip it splits power to the rear wheels. Unless you’re going way off-road or building for motorsports, 4x4 is completely unnecessary.
@@ferfzero4333 I heard some people complain about their tires getting worn down unevenly and prematurely with awd. I live in northern Canada wich is why I wish it was 4x4, awd isn't as good if you have to drive over snow banks instead of shoveling, I'm lazy
Hi! Nice Videos! I have my own 2003 Honda Pilot DIY Build Camper/Overland Vehicle. If your interested for an interview I’m glad to do it. Thanks. I’m from Socal.

Great buildout without being cluttered. Not an easy task!
Absolutely! The cabinet makes all the diffrencez
Mini campers beat 150K Merc buildouts every day if you ask me. This is what it's all about bud! Love it
For one person this is totally the way to go! Plus you make a good point 150k is bonkers

Hopefully they bring it back! Some of my family is in New Mexico is well so cool! Thanks for being here
Santa Fe car, or town?

This guy is awesome with all his little orange Elements everywhere.. The RC one was dope!
Yeah he is really into RC cars but the element model is super cool.
I love your Honda Element it looks so comfortable for such a small suv

Bro are you at the STRAND??? Love
Like the "shore power" placement. The Tshirt with the New Mexico cats is a kewel item too
So kewl yeah it’s a smart spot to place it under the wheel well 😸
The rear moonroof is such a game changer in the Element. I wish mine had it!
Yeah it really is! I’m glad I got an awd model with the moon roof

Great video bro, he's set up is so clean. 👌
Love the build. I love the sunroof and the Element cabinet.❤🇨🇦
Cutest Honda Elements (especially the mini lol!)! This is the best build I have ever seen. Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I just posted in case people didn't already know that Tom is from San Diego......
What?! I would have never guessed that.
What a cool build. No wonder you drew inspiration from this guy.
Yeah it’s perfect imo. I can admit mine is not as nice (yet) but hope to get there soon.
My whole family have broadway mirrors! Once you go broadway your never going back lol
I have to get mine soon everyone is raving about them.
He’s got the right idea about the moonroof! And I’d like to get one of those poles to keep your hatch cracked!
I can tell he doesn’t like anyonetouching his things
love the kool snug build g8 job. that cabinet is the boss
Thanks Tom did an excellent job & we are so lucky he shared with us.
Great Job on the interview...build was very functional.
Thank you for the kind words and the compliment
Дуже сподобалось! Особливо шафка. Зручна і оригінальна.
Seen Tom at EOTD and he's just a cool dude!!
Craig I did not you know you were going! Have a blast I am in Europe I’ll miss everyone.
@@StephenAldaco bro enjoy Europe!!
Tom Tom Tom !!!!! Love that dude
Tom is a super chill dude absolutely was stoked to spend the morning with him filming and grabbing coffee after.
Saludos desde México ,excelente video Stephen
Gracias amigo!
Tom is the coolest!
Tom is the man 👨🏻
Ok So I'm not the only one in Daygo with a Honda Compacto.
@@F_Evans definitely not I’ve seen quite a few around here in OC for sure
@StephenAldaco OH you are Orange County. I haven't seen any in San diego other than mine.
I want more on the scooter suitcase!
I might have to get one and make more videos!
San Diego shoutout!
Good stuff, I got some ideas out of this for sure.
Glad you got some ideas friend thanks for watching
I love the colour
Sunset Orange Pearl it’s a great color.
Loved this video - great set up. Fun race!! Thanks Stephen, hope you have/are having a great time in Paris! Bonnes vacances 😊.
Thank you Paris has been amazing so far in Dublin now for a wedding 🤩
@@StephenAldaco Wonderful. Dublin is another lovely city. Enjoy!

That Broadway mirror is cool. Anyone here old enough to have had the Wink mirror?
@@nisagomez4366 I’ve never heard of this mirror?
@@StephenAldaco I just searched on UA-cam. Check it out. I had on one my car in the 70’s.
@@nisagomez4366when he showed the broadway mirror, that’s what I thought of. Guy in high school had one in his dodge charger. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen.
Is he wearing one of those sunglasses / mustache disguises you order out the back of a comic book?
Yes, good eye 👁
looks like strands beach in dana point
🤫
Great vid! Very informative. What model s the Broadway Mirror? I need one. I have some other brand it is lacking in every way.
Hey I’ve included links in the description of the video of the mirror and you might see a product link on your video for the mirror cheers 🥂
I like this set up!! Too bad Honda did away with the Element!
I know! I hope they bring it back soon.
@@StephenAldaco it would be nice if they did
I'm here for the white scooter. What is that!?
It’s called a moto compacto it’s made by Honda it’s super dope.
@@StephenAldaco sweet!
I think the Bikes and Beards channel did a review of it.
May need to consider holes in that bed platform for air circulation to avoid mold - ask me how I know!!!😊
How do you know? 😅
No cover on the tire?
I like your bed but was there some reason you didn’t go with the Fifth Element couch/bed other than price? I thought the way the couch sists looks nice.
70 k in 4 years... I'm jealous I drive way too much between my jobs out here in the middle of nowhere! 60k in 1 year :(
This and the Fit were major losses for Honda. Everything remotely utilitarian has been wiped out for a basic bland SUVs. Love the Element modding community and all the interesting parts that have been developed.
I wish these cars were 4x4, not sure about awd i heard it's hard in tires and expensive to service
Not at all, it basically drives around as a fwd to save gas- then if the wheels slip it splits power to the rear wheels.
Unless you’re going way off-road or building for motorsports, 4x4 is completely unnecessary.

So I could run 235/75/16?
235-75-16 would need a little lift. 235-70 should fit without the lift
Yo i wonder where this dude is from
I wish I knew dude I should have asked
❤
😍
Yooooo how do I get those laser cut sun shades
Look up heat shield on google
I think they took them off Amazon

Gorilla tape seals the crack on the seat
How long is the bed?
He said 6 feet ….
An old lady car???? What the crap?
Usually refers to a car that wasn’t driven much and was well taken care of 👍
A Honda Element lacks the space, height, and flat surfaces needed for essential amenities, making it unsuitable for a tiny home build.
I respectfully disagree. I built and use mine.
I’ve seen better not impressed
Please do not say " old lady trade in!" Just not respectful.
Great setup...
@@SmallyTheElement I agree that’s why I copied his build
