[@mjstatic77]

Hi mate...nice looking van! What size wheels are they? My T5 is bagged with 20s and I can’t deflate the bags fully as they touch the archs...

[@THQAutomotive]

They're 20's. Your wheels it either too wide, not an ideal offset or your tyres are too big.

[@astonferron2454]

What are your 19" winter wheels they look awesome.

[@THQAutomotive]

Amarok Cantera's. Its a genuine VW wheel.

[@larspatzold780]

Top 👍

[@THQAutomotive]

Thank you

[@stevecolver3794]

Do you need to have the cutting and welding done up front in order to fit air ride to a T5? Thanks guys.

[@ukspaniels]

Yes, its the same chassis.

[@stevecolver3794]

I realise that. I guess what I meant was, do you HAVE to cut and weld or is there a way to fit it (or a different strut kit) that doesn’t involve the cutting etc. I assume the cutting is to make room for the bags?? Does that also mean you don’t then have the plastic arch liner?

[@THQAutomotive]

@@stevecolver3794 No you don't HAVE to do it. This is only to get it extra lower.

[@denysmelashkov3235]

is it SWB or LWB?

*İ follow you on Instagram good to see you here...best Regards from İstanbul 🇹🇷❤️😎*

[@THQAutomotive]

Thanks for following. Lots morey to come

[@me.my.son.and.i]

How practical is this as a daily? I mean, can the air ride setup handle 'van life' trips throughout the year as well as daily 'a to b' transport? Or is it more for show? I'm tempted, but can't be doing with maintenance issues etc

[@THQAutomotive]

Totally practical, most people run their bagged vans as daily's. The next day I drove this to Dusseldorf, the following day to the French Alp's, then back home. I covered 2000 miles over 3 days driving. No issues at all.

[@TruckingGeeks]

I got the same van. Is it possible to bag it without modifying the body? Or is it absolutely necessary?

[@THQAutomotive]

yeah you can do. It just won't go as low.

[@comfortablynumb8832]

Hi guys , can you tell me do the Radi8 sd11 fit on a T6 ? I’ve been told not as mine is the T32

[@THQAutomotive]

They fit but aren’t T32 load rated.

[@craigjames1355]

@@THQAutomotive thx guys that’s a shame I really like them 😬 cheers thou .

[@TTT-Turbo]

Good morning, I'm currently looking at buying a VW crafter and I'm going to fully colour code it, silver. but I've heard Range rover wheels might fit these. It's a 2018 trendline van LWB. The wheels are the ones with the holes near the end and tyre size at the moment is 275 55 20. Will they fit a crafter? or what do I need to do to make them fit. Or am I better off just leaving them & buying proper wheels for it. These wheels are only £300 with good tyres. I would assume there load rated anyway because of the range rover size also eh. Many thanks in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated Ian.

[@THQAutomotive]

Hello, I wouldn't think the range rover wheels with cover the 3.5 tons you need for the Crafter. They are also likely to be the wrong offset. I believe you would have too much poke.

[@TTT-Turbo]

@Transporter HQ Okay 👍🏼 Thanks so much for the reply. I'll keep following you guys for idea 💡 😉

[@travelcampervansandmore]

How much weight does this adds to the van and does it come with a self -levelling function when the van is parked?

[@stuarthughes8587]

Hi do you get a more comfortable ride on air than coilovers at a reasonable ride hight when travelling around?

[@THQAutomotive]

Honest option, unless you are on the absolute sweet spot PSI wise with air, good coilovers are better.

[@stuarthughes8587]

[@russellparker4568]

Didn't realise you have to cut away sections of the chassis and panels wow

[@THQAutomotive]

Only to get it extra low

[@bugsbacon3025]

How low without cutting chassis/panels? Whats the range from highest to lowest?

Подарите мне ваш проект :) Это чудо!

[@jorgearchilla8391]

It's possible to do that to a vw crafter?

[@THQAutomotive]

We’re working on it 😉

@@THQAutomotive now you have a new suscriber...

[@davidramplin5291]

I always wonder how much is left of the wheel arch liners?

[@THQAutomotive]

You can kind of see where we are about to cut in the video

[@axelkob5837]

in norway, modifying the chassis would instantly make it illegal for use on public roads. more lenient rules in the UK perhaps?

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes as long as its done safely, there are no issues here.

[@REDGRIFFIN100]

@@THQAutomotive that's not strictly true, chassis notching requires the vehicle be iva tested or at the least vosa informed of the work carried out to stay legal, if not wether it's picked up on at mot determines if you have to go for an inspection and concidering arch trimming has been pointed out to testers as unacceptable because it's at a "strength point" means it's a fine line that's down to the tester.

The grey plastic bumpers don't do justice to the van...

[@THQAutomotive]

We love the commercial look. Colour coded bumpers have been done to death (including by us) We had to order a spec'd up startline especially because we wanted textured bumpers. This thing is staying commercial 100%

[@adrianbiddle6802]

So unrealistic, for us normal poor people. That's just the way life is I suppose nowadays! That's social media for you. Just an other exploiter for you! It's a sad life we live in. Very sad.

[@THQAutomotive]

What’s unrealistic? Air suspension? A new van? This is what we do, it’s our job. It’s not what life is about that. Some can / want to send the money, most can’t / don’t. You can spending 10% of what this thing cost and still have a great, usable, fun vehicle. The good thing with these is, done well they are an investment, they don’t loose money. Right now they are actually going up and up.
