That Sir is a fine looking rig! Mud always makes it look better!

So, did the Jeep go thru the same mud as you? What do you think caused you to get stuck?

 

looks like a blast!

 

VERY nice.

Thank you sir! No the jeep didn't try haha, it was very sandy mud and I seemed to be high centered on a sand bar.

 

Looking good brother,
Just out of interest what tyre psi are you running?? look a little high maybe??

Looking forward to more videos.

The rear hatch window is super handy in that situation, love using it when i snatching anyone.

 

Thanks Alex!
Yep you are right, I probably would have had more traction if I had run a lower pressure.

I was wondering, have you ever noticed a water sloshing noise after one of your offroad ventures? Im not sure if I am just hearing the fuel in the tank or if I got some water trapped somewhere.

Looks like you had a lot of fun! Two questions about your car:

1. How do you like your light bar? Does it reflect off of your hood?
2. Why do a few of you have flags on your cars? I imagine it just helps increase your visibility, but is there any other reason?

1. I love the light bar it lights up everything! It seems to light up the hood but I don't get any annoying or distracting reflection.

flags are usually for use as a visibility aid when cresting hills or sand dunes so you dont have accidents ... ie head on collisions with cars you cant yet see coming up the other side

2. Yep, and at this park they are required!

Good stuff, great to see the action!
How much is the clearance with the lift, over 300mm??

I will have to measure and get back with ya!

How much of a lift did you get/what size spacer? What are your tire specs?

I believe they are 2" Spacers, my tires are 265/70/17

Very nice!!
So you are now sitting +2inches from the lift kit and +1,5inches from the tires, right?
Looking forward to see more videos in action

Sounds about right Im going to measure my ground clearance today and see where Im at.



Thanks guys!

Dillons build is found here.
He has the 2inch kit that I build,along with Tony.

Hi Dillon, nice work. I have to agree with Alex, for what you were doing, you would have had much more traction with about half the tire pressure. But obviously you had a great time.. Love your work!!

Stuart..

 

Yes I also agree, at the time I was thinking that the extra ground clearance from not airing down as much would be more beneficial but it does look like in the video the Touareg would have had a much easier time on some of those rocks with lower tire pressure!

 

Dillon, where your running in auto lock mode or did you dial in center lock? Looks like auto lock to me. Agree on the pressure comments. An air down would benefit you more that you minor loss of clearance would disadvantage you. Of course, you then need a solid method of airing back up at the end. The stock compressor is not up to the task.

 

Thats what I have this for

As for the Auto Lock I had it in and out at different parts of the day but most of the time I had it locked.

 

There you go!

 

That would get the suckers pumped up in no time.
I like it.

 

Now that is class !

 

Dillon, do you have any pictures of your car directly from the front or rear? I can't quite tell if your wheels actually stick out farther than your fenders. I kind of in the market for spacers too.

 

I do not, but I will take a couple when I get home!

 

Really impress i want to lift my treg trying to contact alex gee but no luck so far.
Looking foward for more video. thanks

 

Hello Alex. Are you still making the spacers? Cheers

 

wow, awesome setup.

 

I Would like to lift my Treg

What d yo think of your car now?
do you still have it?
what would you improve if you did it again?

I do not still have the TDI, I now have a 2008 v8 that is similarly built only on factory air suspension and 305 30r18s that are way to big but I am in love with it.

Your truck looks insane, Dillon! I love it! I would imagine you're running wheel spacers. Would you mind telling us what wheel spacers you went with?

And, again...beautiful build.

Thanks!

I went with 30mm wheel spacers, They were cheep ones off of ebay I would recommend getting wheels that have the offset you want but I realize thats not exactly easy... I currently am running 18'' Porsche wheels with 30mm spacers but I would recommend the spacers they sell on ECStuning.com

Also you can find me on Instagram @ offroadvolkswagen

I have a trail like this about 3000 ft. From my house, I take a goat (TT Ztank) out there once a week to relief my stress and get even with I77. Towed a jeep out of the mud once.

Cheers,

Nice!

 

Whenever you use a lift kit on a touareg, do we lose shock travel anywhere? I'm hesitant on buying a lift kit just because I don't want to top out my shocks.
