So Everything went great! I couldnt believe some of the things I got thru with little effort! I went with my buddy kurt who has the Rang Rover. The touareg really did great on just about everything, rocks, mud, the wooded trails and it really loved the sand dunes!

 

wow that fills the well nicely!! sweet!

 

Awesome.

Looked like the Range Rover was showing off his (what looks to me as) higher clearance, but I bet you enjoyed yourself just as much.

 

Amazing pics - thanks for sharing!

Must be the Goodyear MTRs? I loved those tires when I had em on a previous rig!

 

Likes like a lot of fun! Nice work.

 

Thanks everyone! It was a blast had tons of fun and so did the girlfriend! haha but she made me let her out on a couple of the hills.

The tires really did awesome and so did the treg. I am looking forward to our next trip! :joy:

what the Touareg lacked in ground clearance it made up for with the adaptive traction control. Helped me get over a lot of things with ease compared the the Range Rover.

I take it that it has steel suspension?

With air it would have outperformed the Rangie?

 

Looks like fun and the tires look great!

 

Looks awesome , what size are those Badboys??

 

Thanks everybody!

Yes its steel suspension and the extra ground clearance would have been nice if i had air.

The tires are 265-75-18s and they fit just perfect!

:joy:

Dillon, great pics ! Are you 100% sure they are 265/75 R18 (not R17) ? I always thought that 265/60 R18 (265/65 R17) are the largest for Tpuareg to fit (at least for diesel models)... Many thanks for double-checking and clarifying !

 

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

Spacers

Was following your spacer thread. What eventually worked? I'd love to lift my 08TDI a bit to fit bigger tires. Inquiring minds want to know what happened

 

I'd say 275/65x18 was what was ment.

 

alex gee, these are original VW wheels called 'Manhattan' 8Jx18H2 ET57. Tires on them look slightly bigger than 265/60 R18 (see pictures below showing the small gap on Touareg (diesel) front left wheel size 265/60 R18 turned to the right).

Dillon, it would be greatly appreciated if you could double-check and clarify what is the actual size of the tires. Many thanks !

 

I can't believe how amazing these cars are off road!! Great pics!!

 

275/65x18! 275/65x18.

I am fairly familiar with said manhattans.

 

used to be a jeep guy too and god do i ever miss going deep in the mud...

These pics just braught me back to wanting off road tires instead of slapping on 19'' road rims & tires.

Love the look and I can just imagine the capabilities it has off pavement!
