For years now I’ve been trying to collect all the toaster SUVs at once, but if you can’t own them all at once, you can at least own them all. I bought this 2004 Honda Element AWD with the manual transmission sight unseen with 334,000 miles on the clock. Did I overpay? We’ll find out as we explore my latest purchase.

Hi I like it when you actually work on cars not talk about them thanks happy Memorial Day
What happened to all the Milwaukee impacts? Why did you switch to Hercules?
Modern moog parts are cheap Chinese trash. They went downhill during Covid. They still have the precision company but it’s called moog inc now that makes more aerospace higher end parts.
The oem VW parts that have the pn designating made in china are moog. At least they were as of 2023.
Didn't rotate the tires
That icon ball joint press is what you want if you're doing ball joints. Also its great for pressing busing in control arms too.
I'm surprised you don't pass out from lack of oxygen… LOL
Why dont u have a cart when u do that stuff ? Holds the tools and the parts alot closer to the work area, no 90 bend overs(better for ur back, and faster) for tools and parts !!
Wish I could see what you’re doing
GOOD VIDEO>>>BAD LIGHTING UNDER THE CAR
Same tire issue on my winter wheels for my old Civic with cheap tires.
Man, a ball joint separator would have come in handy. Even a pitch fork if your replacing them. By the way, that was a great time to do the lower control arm bushings.
Just go to the yard and grab a giant rivet gun.
New shop truck? LOL
Bad lighting
To think I was, at one point in history, interested in buying one of these.
every time he says 'air hammer' take a shot.
Also, the adjustable uppers are to fix the constantly terrible camber on old CRV rear suspension. Keep an eye out for it. On almost every old CRV you see, the rear camber is comically terrible.
When doing the ball joints in my 05 CRV, I ended up finding random stuff from the hardware store. I think I ended up using a cast iron pipe end cap that I had grind a side away so as to fit past something on the car. No special cups.
Kobolt air hammer?! Not in NY
Wanna trade this for a 2012 infinity g37x?
