Sick video! Not what I would be doing by any means though.
The photoshop is sweet too. Never thought of a bull bar up front, kinda kills the lines. Throw a Thule rack with roof baskets and lights up top...see how that looks.

 

I solved the issue by getting an xB RS 5 to go along with this:



I love them both!

 

Yeah, that was kind of a joke. I really think that the Honda Element would better suit your needs though.

That's a sick looking Honda Element. Most of the time I think they're pretty ugly because of their color combos but the black and grey looks great. If it had a more comfortable ride and more comfortable seats I might have ended up with that instead of the xB.

 

Thanks for the complement. It's an 05 AWD EX with upgraded 07 grille and bumper inserts, The color is called Magnesium Metallic and was only offered in 2005. It has Honda Pilot wheels and the spoke inserts match the body paint perfectly, also, larger A/T tires and Mother's back to black on the trim. I actually like the seating position and comfort on both - though it's different in the xB and starting in 07 Honda moved the seat belt anchors from the B pillar to the seat which I don't like.

 

I've just read that it's not comfortable for long roadtrips. I saw in one and it wouldn't have surprised me. I like them for their utility though.

 

You must have missed my previous response to someone elses suggestion of the same.

 

au contrare. i posted *because* of it!
