Amazing!

[@andyxmunoz]

Insane dude, nice. Makes me feel much better about my Tiguan R purchase after owning a jeep cherokee that I was having fun in off-roading

[@user-tp3mu9ip1m]

I am loving your VW I needed ideas to take mine for off road car camping

[@peterrick3339]

Are you aware of the maximum Tiguan roof/rail loading? Your weight alone would have used up near all the allowable load weight. And then you add a dog and all the other stuff. From the Owners Manual (assuming i cite the correct manual): "The maximum permissible roof load for vehicles without a roof railing is 165 lbs. (75 kg) and for vehicles with a roof railing, 220 lbs. (100 kg). The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the items being carried on the roof".

[@RogueElement]

Yep…it’s suggested. They are tested for dynamic weight, not static and those numbers you see are far less than what is acceptable for insurance purposes. As you can see, zero issues for the most part and it’s something we monitor closely.

Bro.. Its awesome..!!🔥

[@HenryCalderonJr]

Cool 😎 I love it

[@jamesfox3784]

Awesome build! Nobody ever talks about the auto levelling headlight arm attached to the rear arms when talking about lift kits. What did you do there?

[@RogueElement]

It doesn’t have auto leveling headlights, that’s only on the SEL premium r-line. If it did, it’s only a 1.5” lift so it should be fine

[@israelmontalvo5609]

Nice build!! dBy any chance would you add a list of mods/brands/parts you got?

[@RogueElement]

Most of it is through B2B Fab but I can ask Nate if he can get me a list and I’ll post it here in the comments later today

[@israelmontalvo5609]

Thank you as well interested in the way the pioneer rack attached to the OEM bars. @@RogueElement

[@RogueElement]

@@israelmontalvo5609 it’s attached with RR vortex cross bars and their rail attachment. It’s not an ideal setup and we are currently doing some R&D for a backbone system…hopefully it works out

[@brauliox86]

Do You changued the original front shock absorber or still use?

[@RogueElement]

It’s stock but we’re getting ready to do some R&D with a big shock company and also update the whole suspension to go medium travel. Also selling the current roof top tent and going with a lighter setup to gain more ground clearance

[@robertgarvey5744]

Looking to buy a roof platform for our 2021 Tiguan. Which dimensions is the platform you used? Are you connected directly the side rails or do you have cross racks underneath the platform? Were there any issues clearing the antenna in the back? Thanks in advance

[@RogueElement]

Honestly we would recommend waiting till Rhino Rack releases their new series 6 platform. It’s more aero dynamic, so it’s quieter and less resistance as well as half the weight of the series 5. We will let everyone know when the new series has been released.

[@robertgarvey5744]

@@RogueElement would still like to know the dimensions of the rack you used

[@RogueElement]

[@PAToph]

Who makes the light bracket, and how hard is it to install and wire the light?

[@RogueElement]

Which light?

[@matthewwall9267]

I’d like to know how the front spotlights have been mounted through the grille.

What is the hub adapter Brand and all that

[@RogueElement]

Bronson hubs, 5x114.3 with a hub centric ring for the Raceline wheels of 72.62mm

[@RogueElement]

20mm adapter

[@satyajeet_biradar]

Is this Tiguan a Diesel or a Petrol?

[@RogueElement]

Petrol

[@sambowks]

What is the roof rating of the Tiguan?

[@RogueElement]

I believe it’s around 200 pounds dynamic which is about where he was at in this video but has since dropped way under that.

[@sambowks]

@@RogueElement that’s not bad! Thought it would be a lot less than a Fortuner but hey that’s kinda cool

[@RogueElement]

@@sambowks remember to, it’s most likely much higher because insurance and manufactures will greatly reduce those numbers for liability reasons.

[@xFactoryUSA]

Just doesn’t have enough suspension travel for my taste. Better off bagged 🎉

[@RogueElement]

Bagged is garbage Offroad. We are working on a medium travel suspension… or a lot out there on the market for custom suspensions unless you have $20k to drop on it.

[@vdubskiee5356]

dude spent more money on decals and didnt even touch the suspension lol what kinda mindset???

[@RogueElement]

You’re a real genius eh? He just said there’s very few options and it’s something he’s working on. We’re currently working with multiple companies for a medium travel kit…that kind of mindset!
