TANK 300 - What Will Break? How Big A Tyre Can We Fit? 🧐

The TANK 300 survived the thrashing it received at Loveday… or did it? We get a mechanic to have a look underneath and decide if this is really going to be a dwcnr car for ongoing off-roading. Also, what are biggest tyres we can fit without any dramas

[@Rabsallawah]

I’m not even a mad off road fan, but I’m loving these videos… and this car seems bloody good value. Like you said, it might be a game changer here… especially if it proves to be a robust platform to build on!

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thanks 👍

[@123fourfive5]

Very insightful video on what goes on behind the scenes when companies make aftermarket parts. Fascinating that so many people were calling this a Suzuki Jimny with more power but now it looks like it's more like a shorty patrol. It's been out for years already overseas so you can tell Great Wall wanted to get it right before they released it here and it looks like they did a good job. Time will tell, of course but this is going to make alot of Aussies very happy.

[@DASHOffRoad]

I tend to agree. I love driving it 💯💯💯

[@YangJi888]

if you raise it more than 2inches, you need change the suspension linkages, they are not long enough for the modification and they might come off while driving. It was a common mistake for people whom raised tank 300 too much back in China.

[@WaynesWorld69]

Mate this is brilliant! Saw the Tank advertised on tv tonight for the first time and was curious and then your videos came up as suggested. I've watched all 3 so far and loving them! Subbed!

[@DASHOffRoad]

Thank you for watching, more to follow 👌

[@JeffCleverley]

Nice. I threw 32" KO2s straight on this, thought I might be able to go with 33s but didn't want to risk it, and I have a bit of a language barrier here, so I am keenly following along with your vids. I'll go larger when I get a lift. Getting upgraded under body armour, so good to know about the power steering too. Cheers mate.

[@alexkeith777]

I just pre-ordered one here in the UAE, t-minus 3 weeks. Would love to see what you can get done with this!

[@888YangJi]

friendly advice : need to change to a longer control arm and reset the Camber angle if you raise it very high or risk control arm popping off from the knuckle. But you seem to know what you are doing, I'm not too worry.👍👍

Gotta remember when judging the suspension component "girth" to bear in mind that it weighs a tonne less than a patrol too, so doesn't need to be as big. Straight pipe options has got to be the next mods!

Keep these vids coming mate... i think Australia needs to be convinced a little as GWM in the past hasnt been a good name but i think this is an awesome vehicle.... ive been eyeing them off for about 6 months and from what ive seen in chinese vids there very capable and very safe in roll overs as well.... built like a tank..... would love to see a diesel hybrid varient but doesnt seem to be on the cards..... im waiting on the hybrid variant and also waiting for the tank 500 to be realead then i will test drive both and make a decision.... also waiting on the shanhai cannon as well... apparently both should be here end of year or start of next year according to my research.... 🤙🤙

[@imgoingforaride]

Bigger wheels seem to improve it's looks .

[@mattemeny2606]

Dash, pretty sure I have seen you a couple of times around Adelaide in the Patrol. Looking forward to seeing this new and promising platform in future. Thanks for the content mate, it’s always good viewing 👍🏻

[@DASHOffRoad]

Cool, thanks!

[@sinclap2]

After watching a few vids on the 300, I suspect they’re going to be selling a feck load of them. It’s a nice looking car too

[@DASHOffRoad]

I think you’re right 💯💯💯

[@jasonbrowny23]

Just those rims and tyres make it look way better

[@DASHOffRoad]

Yes, agree 👌

[@Swearzy]

They solid axle swap them in china and they are looking like affordable mean rigs tbh, this looks like a copy of the russian uaz patriot/bremach suv which is probably why everything is mostly overbuilt, it also features the 2 speed transfer case awd with lockers offroad modes

[@kevbo091]

How are people finding the low payload? I was keen as until i found out about the payload

[@tareskisloki8579]

Good to see that it has decent sized wheel wells, a lot of the mid size IFS fourbies require cutting just to clear 32's

[@Craig-dh2kv]

I’d be curious if 285/70r17 on a +20 rim would fit at full flex and full lock on stock suspension

[@mickspecial]

Hey all - everyone see the rears lifting off the ground with hard breaking... its it an issue or not... i still getting one... cant get 5 star ANCAP if rubbish.... just keen to hear some options.

[@salihdelic2617]

Can anyone advise would it be OK to put on 285/70/17 cooper at3 tires without having lift kit or any other modifications and would that reduce lots of power of the vehicle? thx!!

[@DASHOffRoad]

Should be fine

[@salihdelic2617]

@@DASHOffRoad you are the best!! thx

[@johton]

Would a 17inch rim fit around the brake callipers or even a 16 inch?? Offroad performance focused cookie cutter 235s could prob go 34inch with a 1-2inch lift. That would look a bit old fashioned but works off road….

[@lightsoak5129]

This is awesome! Thanks for this - was looking at some 255/85R16 pizzacutters brilliant content!

[@mickspecial]

what you go with ... i thought 265/70/17 ... now i dont know ?

Now take it off road with the Yokohamas and a Torqit exhaust. And put in a DASH modular floor like all us Y62 owners did. Lol

[@antoinelardin3671]

Hey guys loves your videos, i am planning to buy one for my wife and wanted to add a bull bar and some good rims on it, thank to you for trying it haha (i though 34inch will fit and it look like not in stock, you make me save money). can you just tell me what the offset for the wheels that you put ? i recon it looks like a +20 ?keep going like this guys amazing video

[@DASHOffRoad]

Yes, +18

[@michaelbansagi3779]

Awesome! How did the gearing go? Very keen to hear that. Considering putting a deposit on

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

It loses more traction force on the ground.

[@djnmv]

Enjoying seeing this Tank 300 content, keep it up! I reckon it would look so much better if they got rid of that big badge in the middle of the front grill. Is there a way you could remove that simply, or would it have some form of backing plate that would look silly too then? A replacement grill even just without the badge would probably be a good mod I reckon. Also, I've always wondered when doing those wheel clearance checks, whether you need to try having the front wheels turned on full lock while lifting it to see if they would rub anywhere whilst they are turned?

[@thatdudethatsezshiz7706]

There is a grill that can be bought that has TANK written all the way across the grill itself.... Large lettering and looks good....

[@theshadypilot]

And anything for the headlights? It's really like having a hot, squint, girlfriend
