Love his setup, clean, well thought out. Just viewed another build where a guy spent thousands but the car looks like something out of beverly hillbillys and totally uncomfortable to travel in. Well done!
That Element is really sweet. Also he seems like a really humble hard working guy. Only think I am struggling on is those seats that rotate around. Upgrade for comfort but the original ones fold completely down to make a bed.
@@StephenAldaco Bought a 2006 element on November 8th. Been a absolute nightmare for me. Car lot I bought it from obviously cleared codes. False inspection. Has cost me $10,000 in repairs & waiting on a part that is back ordered for almost 2 months. This repair is another $2,000. Have only had it for my use 1 week. My first time ever dealing with a Honda vehicle has not been a good one. I would however love to have his upgrades. I would take it on weekend fishing trips.
I did not know sports-mobile offered this that’s incredible! Yea it’s a big price to pay for sure. If you can find one with it already on there that’s the real ticket
Great video. These have been available for quite some time (obviously since the Element has been discontinued for quite some time), and for those that have Elements..really amazing upgrade!
WOW! says it all. There is so much to love about Miguel's Element. Like he said, my favorite mods are also the swivel seats and spare tire carrier hitch. The Ecamper speaks for itself. Do you guys have a recommendation on sources for the side molding? The info about the suspension upgrades to support the hitch and Ecamper was helpful also. Love your videos Miguel and Stephen. Please keep them rolling.
Thank you for watching! Make sure to view Miguel’s website (link below) also Eric the Car guy has a ton of videos working on his Honda elements. I’m not sure what you mean about the side molding?
@@StephenAldaco Thanks Stephen. I have watched many of Eric's videos also. I was referring to the rubber trim pieces that protect the sides from door dings. Hard to notice on Miguel's Element and not a big mod for anyone but I would like to add some similar door protection on my 2007 LX 5spd.
@@StephenAldaco I got the Expedition EL (longer one). Tons of room, but still not as big as this Element your showcasing. I will be keeping an eye out for an all wheel drive Element.
@@manfrummt awesome congrats on your new car! If you happen to be in SoCal Miguel the guy in this video is selling an awd element green manual trans I believe.
I noticed that with the swivel seat install he ran the wires incorrectly. They should be running up to the center of the swivel so that they're not in the way when you are moving them. Maybe give them a heads up.
Thanks Dat Tran, yeah I knew that , I still working In The seat and just run it fast that day to bring it to the campground 👍 if you see my other video I just posted all run good 😎👍
Actually I been testing the wires it In diferente positions and looking very detail at the wires when moving the seats, that way when I install it to others are all 👍. Every mod like this is always important to pay attention to wiring since those can created problem in The future . 😎👍🙏
@@StephenAldaco I just started following Miguel , he seems like such a wonderful man . Very helpful to people . A genuine human , and a knowledgeable mechanic !
@@StephenAldaco I want to buy a Honda Element what is a good year to get ? I am 69 yr old woman . I want to buy one with low miles . Do they all have suicide doors on both sides and seats that fold against wall ?
yes they do if you have the funds i would look for the lowest milage option out there. They are essentially the same for all years. the 2009-2011 models will have the latest updates to the dash and a slight bump in power. Good luck!@@jeanmariemissale5663
hey you guys....im in tx and i really trying to get myself a honda element but im having dificulty....im a student and need all you honda element guys to please help me find me at a resonable price because where i live they are over pricing used elements ...muchas gracias chicos
He seems like a nIce guy and willing to share his knowledge.
That’s for sure great guy
🙏
Miguel gives such a good vibe and love his element. I wish he was in Florida
Yes the vibes are immaculate
I took a shot everytime that Ring chime went off, and now I'm dead.
I love the idea of sleeping on top and the inside of the car is like the living room. This is great too if you have dogs
9/10 dogs, recommend the Honda element
MIGUEL IS MY BOY I LOVE HIS VIDEOS! Thats probably how you popped into my feed! I have subbed and smashed the bell!!!
Thank you dude!!!!! Miguel is a great guy glad to know him
swivel front seats. that's sooooo awesome
Yeah hiros hot rod! Cool stuff for sure
great interview skills! getting him to share more than he would have himself! and good stuff Miguel, i'm wishing i had your mechanical skills :)
🙏 see you at he Anaheim meet up 😎👍
Watch his channel bro! He’s got great videos to show you how to work on the elements
@@StephenAldaco he is already my long time fan 😂👍
The Ecamper! Awesome.
The avatar of elements. The guru. Miguel
The man the myth the legend himself
Lol 🙏
Love the swivel seat kits 🙏
I know they are the best!
Can the back seats be made swivel also ?
Oh I need him as a friend!
Follow him on RUclips he’s a very good guy!
Hi friends 👋
Love his setup, clean, well thought out. Just viewed another build where a guy spent thousands but the car looks like something out of beverly hillbillys and totally uncomfortable to travel in. Well done!
Man, his car is kitted-out! That's a clean setup.
You and me both brotha and it’s getting better we will need to do an update video
I saw this is another person's Element video. That camper top must give so much more room inside bc the bed is on top. Nice!
Cool guy, I like him.
Absolutely great guy!
Very nice Car
You should see it now it’s looking a whole lot better!
Dude what a build !!!!
He’s got some Sweet new additions too!
Badass setup! Miguel is awesome!
That’s for sure!!!
Nice setup
Dream set up I def want an e-camper lol
Miguel got the best deal ever on this element don’t believe go to his channel when he first got it ya won’t believe it awesome Miguel build is awesome
I’m so jealous every time I hear how much he paid I die inside 😅
@@StephenAldaco me too again he had the best deal ever and I mean the best ever
This build is my dream. Holy hell.
Me too m8 me too. It keeps getting better!
"Teslament"...I had to stop the video for laughing on that one.
😂😂😂
Can't wait for the DIY electric rear hatch handle tutorial! I was just about to mod my hatch but now I'll wait for "Element Lifestyle" video!
I been working On this video and lots of progress. I will be also selling the kit for the install. 😎👍
Great setup. I'm sad to be selling my Element. Need to find out where to post it but this video makes me want to keep it.
Don’t sell it 😅. Keep it alive
With 180k miles she still has alot of life left in her.
@@gsdls you should keep her !!
This is so cool. So many little details that go unnoticed.
Whats a nice guy. And he has really thought of everything. What a treat this video was!
We will be doing a one year update soon stay tuned!
I love his element! It’s so clean, but so much to offer. Really cool!
🥰👍🥰 serious can’t wait to trade elements for the weekend with him haha
That Element is really sweet. Also he seems like a really humble hard working guy. Only think I am struggling on is those seats that rotate around. Upgrade for comfort but the original ones fold completely down to make a bed.
Yeah even tho these seats swivel they still fold down into a bed! The only problem is that its slightly higher than the OEM

@@BBBYpsi oh man I’m so sorry!!! I know a good mechanic if your in the SoCal area. Hopefully she’s up and running soon!
Didn’t think of that issue ! Can they make a swivel that also folds down ?
So many great ideas! Great interviewing and responses.
So bad ass!!!
Super nice E! Everything I want to add to mine, thanks for this video.
Tell me about it that e-camper is so nice!
Miguel is awesome!
Absolutely!! Good guy 💯
🙏
That is killer! Some great extras!
I wish the E is just 6 inches longer for comfort roomy camper and upward 180hp to compensate the wind
I appreciate that it’s not 6 inches heavier
sweet camper 😍
E-campers are way sick that’s for sure
Amazing
Sweet.
Very sweet!
Great video
Thank you for watching!!
Great build!
New to your channel! Impressive❤️. Thank you.
Welcome! Thanks for subbing!
I wish i have the skill to do the same to my Element. 😀
He has a bunch of videos to teach you how go for it!
swivel seat is cool. Wonder how it would hold up in a accident OR insurance if some one was injured?
Probably not well. It says for off road use only
Love this, but the cost is considerable. Sportsmobile in CA offers this roof modification for Elements, but even 5 hears ago it was 6k, pretty spendy.
Oops! Meant years, not hears.
I did not know sports-mobile offered this that’s incredible! Yea it’s a big price to pay for sure. If you can find one with it already on there that’s the real ticket
I would like to get in touch with Miguel for the seats. Did I miss his contact?
@elementlifestyle on Instagram
Nice set up!! Great job!👏🏼❤️
When I grow up I hope my element is as cool as Miguel’s
Awesome build, though I’d feel concerned about cooking on the tailgate table with the fuel can just on the other side! 😵
Boom! 😅 hope he has a fire extinguisher
Great video. These have been available for quite some time (obviously since the Element has been discontinued for quite some time), and for those that have Elements..really amazing upgrade!
I have been torn between an element or a wrangler!
Tough Choice! I am biased obviously. More room for toys in the element but less off road capable that’s for sure lol
Get both 😎.
Keep that camper expanded while driving... it'll give you tremendous downforce haha! Another great video my man!!
😂😂😂 slap a turbo on that bad boi too lol
Actually one day I drove for like 7 mnts with the ecamper pop open 😂

Tell me about it! Ma roof top tent Is an option as well. Still several thousand
What is your MPG?
I talked to Miguel he said around 20-22. He has everything done to it though new spark plugs, oxygen sensors etc. Its running smooth!
Hi Stephen where is Miguel located at? What's the welder info?
He’s Tustin California I would reach out to him on Instagram
I wish my Element was All Wheel Drive. The best car Ive owned besides that. But I'm selling it because I need to tow stuff.
Oh man what a bummer! Could also drop a v6 in it and tow haha! What are you planning to get?
@@StephenAldaco I got the Expedition EL (longer one). Tons of room, but still not as big as this Element your showcasing. I will be keeping an eye out for an all wheel drive Element.

How did you turn your front seats around? Do you have a video on that modification?
Hiros hot rod swivel seat
Yes I do, in my channel
Do you customize Honda elements for people?
What do you want to do best to reach out to me on Instagram stephen_aldaco I am in SoCal
Yes
You mentioned you install the swivel, what do you charge to install one?
Hi reach out to Miguel @elementlifestyle he will help you out!
$250
I noticed that with the swivel seat install he ran the wires incorrectly. They should be running up to the center of the swivel so that they're not in the way when you are moving them. Maybe give them a heads up.
Thank you! I’ll pass the word along.

Where is migels shop?
He is a mobile mechanic I would reach out to him on his channel or Instagram

Hi contact Miguel for install prices! The seats themselves are 500 or 550 you can find the link in the description.

Hey Jose this is custom fabricated talk to a local welder and they might be able to help. If your in SoCal contact Miguel directly:
