I have decided to sell my beloved Supercharged Offroad Element and I would love to find it a great new home. If you are familiar with the Element community, this Element is pretty widely known. It is a highly customized/modified 2009 EX AWD Automatic with 110,073 miles. Rare(ish) Omni Blue Pearl color. Asking $28,000 without 23Zero RTT & Eezi-Awn 270 Awning, or $30,500 with both (see below for details). Feel free to text or email questions: 336.669.6373 or jeking069007@gmail.com. Here are all the customizations/mods (I have put ~$55-60K into it!):
Known Issues:
- Engine & Transmission: Merc Racing TVS-1320 Supercharger (11psi pulley) with intercooler installed by Merc Racing. Jose Mercado stated that this set-up should be making 280-300hp. It sure feels like it. Transmission fluid cooler with temperature gauge. See link below on Merc Racing site- the Element pictured is this one.
- Suspension Lift: Flatout GR Lite Coilovers with upgraded lock-rings and 1,500 lb rear and 500 lb front springs. This was the first Element that got the Flatout suspension thing started (see link below). It is lifted 3-4 inches with 9.75 inch ground clearance at the rear skidplate. High-clearance Element44 rear lower control arms and Aerogenics adjustable upper rear control arms installed. With lift, engine/transmission drop kit and rear differential drop kit installed. New front lower ball joints installed along with Siberian suspension bushings. sway bars front and rear have been removed for articulation. If the buyer wants the sway bars, they can be included.
- Wheels & Tires: Method Racing 16 in Wheels with 235 70R16 Falken Wildpeak AT3’s with full size spare on rear bumper swingout.
- Brakes: Acura TSX brake upgrade: cross-drilled and slotted disks all around with larger disks in the front and upgraded stainless steel braided brake lines.
- Bumpers, skidplates, rock sliders and roof rack: Front bullbar, Silo Mfg custom rear bumper with dual swingouts- left-side for 2 gerry cans (not included), the right-side for full size spare and quick-mount FrontRunner fold-down table (included). Skidplate Guy front engine skidplate and fuel tank skidplate. Aerogenics rock sliders with Rhino lining coating. 311 Adventure Truck full length roof rack with 600 lb static and 300 lb dynamic capacity with 2 extra crossbars mounted for additional load points. Awning brackets are mounted to the roof rack and are included. Gobi rear hatch ladder also installed to access roof rack. 2 Gobi gas struts added to rear hatch so that cargo can be mounted to the ladder and the hatch still opens- it is really strong.
- Lighting: Set of 2 Baja Designs Squadron LED driving lights mounted to the bull bar, another set of 2 mounted to Element Driven ditch light brackets. 2 each Baja Designs S2 Sport flood/work lights mounted to left roof rack, right roof rack, and rear roof rack on independent circuits. Flush-mount Baja Designs work light in rear hatch to light up the rear cargo area and “kitchen” area when the hatch is open. Upgraded LED interior lights (super bright) and additional flush mount work light added to interior. All controlled by S-Pod touchscreen controller that is bluetooth enabled.
- Electrical/Solar: Dual Optima Yellow Top AGM batteries- starter and auxiliary with “smart solenoid” isolation on aux battery. Both have direct plugs hardwired for a dual channel 2amp Noco trickle charger (included). 2 Additional 12V “cigarette lighter” plugs for auxiliary power mounted in rear passenger area. 100W Renogy flexible solar panel mounted to the hood magnetically. Can be switched from the dash between charging start battery, auxiliary battery, or raw solar input in cabin for Bluetti, Goal Zero, etc battery charging. Renogy charge controller is bluetooth enabled and the raw solar input has a monitor for voltage, amps, and watts that is mounted to the dash. I used it for charging a Bluetti EB70 for my 2 fridges (fridges not included).
- Integrated ARB Twin cylinder air compressor for airing-up is mounted in rear spare tire well with air chuck permanently mounted in protected corner of rear cargo area. Switched on/off by S-Pod touchscreen and powered by auxiliary battery.
- Alpine Halo 9 “floating” touchscreen stereo with wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto that includes the “maestro” module with ODB2 integration to monitor engine and vehicle gages. I use it to measure supercharger boost, coolant temperature, intake temperature and other gages. Can be programmed/modified to monitor other measures.
- 2 Ram mounts, one for phone and one 1-½ ball on dash for iPad.
- Interior Storage: Rob Deezy rear tailgate storage unit installed, 2 Clark Fabrication Molle panels mounted to rear cargo area, Element Driven passenger-side rear door molle panel, and Rob Deezy ceiling shelf installed. Fifth Element Camping wood center console & storage unit included (but not installed).

If you have seen the Instagram posts from Jet9RDO, the pressurized hot/cold water system and rear fridge slider and drawer systems have been removed and are not included. Let me know if you would like the drawer and fridge slide out system.

Known Issues:
- With the supercharger mod you cannot select low/first or second (D2) gear only. Only full automatic. Traction control is disabled, but ABS works.
- Because of the power, it has a good bit of torque steer. I rarely accelerate at full throttle. The supercharger was not installed for speed, it was for power to get up mountain passes. Gas mileage is 12-14 mpg with RTT on top.
- The S-Pod touchscreen will not work if the auxiliary battery is below 12V.
- Solar can be a little complicated- it works, but training on the switches & set-up is helpful.
- The interior has had a lot of modifications (hot water system, shelving, etc) so there are screw holes and cuts made into the plastic in places.
- A wireless phone charger in the passenger-side dash does not work
