00:00I just dropped $6,500 on a 16 year old Honda Element with over 220,000 miles
00:07and somehow the internet has convinced me that this toaster on wheels is
00:10secretly the coolest SUV ever made. Removal of back seats creating this
00:14massive open space, a center console that doubles as a cooler, coach doors, you guys
00:22get the point, and I searched for months looking for one that wasn't eaten by
00:25rust or mechanically fun. I even took a massive gamble and flew over 350
00:29miles to check out this 2010 Honda Element in no other color than Sunset
00:33Orange. So a seven-hour drive later, some discover problems along the way and
00:38reality started to set in. This thing has zero modern tech and is definitely gonna
00:42need a lot of work. Welcome to Finding My Element, the series where I'm taking this
00:48Facebook marketplace find and turning into a fully off-the-grid video mobile
00:52studio and adventure vehicle. Hopefully. It's definitely gonna need some big
00:56upgrades. I'm talking Apple CarPlay, off-grid power and a lift kit. So if you're
01:00into those kinds of mods or if you have any tips, I need all the help I can to get
01:03this toaster fired up. Make sure to follow along to see if this is the best
01:07investment I ever made or don't make me stranded.
