    Is your Element a stick shift?

    Nice! My boss has an '05 Element EX AWD with only 90K on it. Sadly it's an automatic.

    Do you think the position of the gearshift is awkward?

    Its awkward to look at, but when you sit there, it's actually comfortable. Just not really a place to shift and have your elbow

    Ok thread newbie here. Just picked up an 08. Before i begin moding her i want to go do some wheeling. But i am wondering. 1) what is or was your favourite mod. 2) what was the worst mod. And do you have any recent of the truck?

    That is a difficult question! I love all my mods. I would think about some protection like skids and sliders, before bumpers.

    My truck is supercharged too. That might be my favorite/worst mod. Power, yes! MPG, no haha.. But I didnt get the truck to get good gas mileage.

    This is the most recent shot of the truck. Taken a couple weeks ago. I am currently waiting for a bed rack that I ordered before Thanksgiving, so I can put my RTT back on.

    The first one was front wheel drive. Still an absolute bomb in the snow. I never got stuck. The second was was 4WD, and even more unable to get stuck.

    I forgot that you got that one. Maybe when I sell my FZ and Z125, and get the next bike, I can get another cafe racer type one. I should have a welder by then, so I can make cool parts!
