The gas smell is coming from the "top hat" in the frunk! The fuel sending unit lives under that cover, and after 20 ish years they start to crack and weep fuel. It's just 4 nuts that hold it on and you should be able to see the fuel puddling in the top of it causing it to smell. Happened on my 02 996 C4S and a new sending unit solved the issue. Btw the Safari idea is AMAZING. DO IT!

[@davidelliott5843]

The Safari job is expensive because you’ll need a new differential ratio to handle the big wheels. Simply slapping on the wheels will make first gear fell like third gear.

[@thenoblenomads1520]

Do the safari build! But PLEASE go all out! I would love to see you build something truly custom to your taste.

[@markgibson7123]

Hoovie, you have a reputation to uphold!!! You MUST do the ridiculous things, like a Dakar/Safari conversion. Somebody has to do it, it might as well be you. Plus, once it gets done and you show it around, you can take it to Barrett-Jackson and maybe flip it for something else that's unique (or totally ragged out). Watching the process would make for an interesting series of videos.

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Hoovie, that puppy is the perfect car to safari/rally-macate! It's just beat-up enough to not feel bad about having some fun with it. I foresee an episode featuring dirt and/or mud coming up...✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@craigcampbell1843]

I wouldn’t even consider buying a Baja Porsche 911 unless it could tow 10,000 pounds across five states without stopping. Otherwise it’s useless because everyone knows we all have to tow 10,000 pounds across five states without stopping at least once a week.

[@dan3162]

Do the Dakar, but on a budget. Fox shocks, basic body lift and some light trimming of panels…Hooptie approved

[@Scotty2hotteee]

Absolutely. Do some research and buy the parts individually.

[@ATEC101]

Yeah, I guess if you want destroy the wheel bearings, axles and tires. Turn it into a useless Baja Bug clone from the 60's complete with outrageous positive camber at both ends. Should be hilarious to drive before it tips over.

[@willb1242]

Yeah. Make is real for us what it's like to do a Dakar cheap. More interesting than just buying costly parts. I figure you can get 1.5in lift on most cars with spacers, low risk, but you'll have to adjust alignment and I think the rear suspension on a 911 is a little unique...

[@bendoverjunior]

long time silent supporter here, I see you're getting a lot of support for this new crazy idea, it's nice to see you have such a great bunch of people around you irl and online. The Dakar build is not to my taste though. Best of luck to you Tyler. I'll surely be watching this as well.

[@usmcplu]

I agree with this off-road build. I miss the old days of when you modified your vehicles (Apollo 911, the Lexus Landcruiser,the Nitro Fast and Furious Prius and I think Porche Cayenne to name a few). The unboxings were fun and you have good taste in mods. It was always fun to see what you would bolt on next.

Also you could leave it stock height with some cheap metal skid plates and just do the vinyl wrap/ basket / tires to see how close to capable you can make a 90% off 911 to the new Dakar.

[@00DUCK]

I'm so excited for this build! With the paint being so worn the possibilities are endless. I know what I would do with it but curious to see which direction you would go with it. I fell in love with Ed's Orange Off road Cayenne he had for Car Trek. So I think this could be an epic response to that! I can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@davidb5411]

I say go for the Safari build. However, if you do, don't cheap out. Going off road will put much more stress on other components, so you should plan to replace those up-front. It's going to cost much more than just the suspension and tires!

[@plektosgaming]

You can actually buy kits to convert 911s for about $15K. It's a lot more common outside of North America and Europe to see an old 911 that's been converted in some manner for the local roads and conditions.

Even if you do own a Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. The only way that makes sense is if you're a KZbinr and a project that people will follow along. Not everyone is going to follow a Porsche Baja build. It comes down to business in the end. That's $17,000 in parts. That's not counting labor on top of his car that roughly cost 30K. That's not a cheap build. I don't think he's saying he can't afford it but it has to make sense financially. That's how a business works.....

Hey! I really love these 911 turbo's. I live in a very rural area in northwestern Ontario, Canada (only a few hours away from Winnipeg) with TONS of long gravel forestry roads that actually make for awesome driving with plenty of corners and hills with beautiful forest scenery. These roads are however usually pretty rough... It would be FANTASTIC to see a powerful high end car such as this porsche with a 3 inch off road lift/suspension package. We have mostly pickup trucks and the odd suv/jeeps around here. I drive an older F150 5.4 3v (had to say it for the wizard) that I have locked and tuned the variable valve timing system so it doesnt work, along with some other engine mods this has bullet proofed the engine. With my 3 inch lift and 35" tires these graveI roads are pretty fun. My point is however that where i live no one even owns a porsche! I want to see this 911 turbo ripping on some gravel backroads! It would be so much fun to have that type of car turned into a sort of high end rally speed machine! It would destroy a subaru WRX. Please go ahead with the mods! UUUUGH im excited like a little kid thinking of the high power short wheel base absolute ripper that car could be! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

[@juliamiller2299]

Yeah do it! You know you want to do it. It's only 17k for the parts, you will love it!

[@cinaedFLM]

Think of all those harsh winter days when you could use a capable AWD in the snow, and you could be zipping around in style, with heated seats (once they are sorted), without having to resort to some sort of drug ridden Stellantis SUV (although I like that one too). Dakar conversion would be the coolest Porshe ever, especially with a hooptie rally paint job. You already need sway arm links and CV axles anyway.

[@daveleephoto]

$17K?! If you can spend that plus the wrap for the final product and sell it on for a profit, then yes go for it! At least you'll spruce this worn out 911 up for a new life!! Thanks so much for sharing your fun hooptie adventures with us!

[@JayCAlan]

I love the concept, but no way a 2 inch lift and some extra weight in steel is worth 17 grand. And if the kit really is all that, then frankly, this car isn't deserving of the mod. I say find a cheaper route to making this a world-class field-hopper.

[@Opaheke1]

You should know that the word 'profit' has no place in this channel. ;) Or maybe you meant selling to a prophet?

There’s no way there will ever be a profit on this car. The off road kit would likely lower the value / keep the value the same as what it’s already worth now.
