Hello! It has been a while since I posted. I am just getting my interior finished on my Troopy and want to go on a shake-down trip next weekend. I live in Central NC. Anybody know if there are any trails open or passable in Western NC after the storm? Thanks! John

Sorry for the late response. I could not agree more. I took the Element to Uwharrie recently and was shocked at what it went through. I really did build it to go on forest roads and camp way away from people, not to do any hard-core wheeling- that’s what I’ll probably stick with. I’m always...

Hey Heep! It’s great to hear from you. I’m in Central NC and have really expanded on the build since I posted here. I think the Element is a fantastic platform especially for forest roads and dispersed camping. Let me know if there’s anything that comes up that you need help on with your...

The offset was good for us, we were looking for a clean look, not sticking out too much. So we did not use spacers. I did just upgrade the suspension big-time after a trip to Colorado and back. It needed a lot bigger springs to hold all the weight. Put BC coil overs with 30 K springs in the rear...

That’s awesome! We should stay in touch. I’m also a mountain biker. That’s why I built the rig, to camp and ride. I also just ordered my passenger swivel seat from Hiro. I’m almost done (are we ever?)- it is getting a supercharger installed at the moment. Every time a slight incline comes...

hey rbmacp- Welcome! I’m in Greensboro. 09 Honda Element, just built/building it and getting into overlanding. Sounds like an awesome project.

Honda Element. Just got back from Outlaw Offroad in NC. Added a 270 awning, dual battery, and spare tire carrier in a tiny package. I absolutely LOVE it!

Gaia gps for sure. Lifestyle Overland has a great video on trip planning:

Agreed! I need more trail time and will see what I need (if anything- it’s pretty awesome!). Thanks so much for experience and advice- I’m just getting started

NC-Trooper- thanks so much! I have been camping forever, and I am a big mountain biker, but just getting started overlanding. I would love to hear about Uwharrie when it happens- I just went mountain biking down there last weekend. I look forward to getting connected. My rig is still being...

Hey! I watch your YouTube channel and you were a huge inspiration for my build! I am building an Element right now. Love your channel and all that you have done to the Element. Something I would love to ask- have you ever run into traction issues with the A/4WD system? I have thought about...

I am a new OB member (26473) and am building an Element as we speak- absolutely love it so far. If there is anyone else out there building one, I would love to get in touch. I went for an 23Zero RTT over the ECamper pop-up, I like the ladder access. It has a 3in lift, getting a dual battery...

New OB member this week and just getting started Overlanding. Building a 2010 Honda Element- love it so far! I live in NC and there are tons of places to go in the mountains around here.
