Our V10 5.0 BLE Touareg gets BIG Tyres and a Winch!

[@Balomis]

Shoutout to the editor for syncing up some of the percussive actions in the video with the music!

[@joshb7054]

Love being able to watch these with comfort of nothing but pure Yorkshire voices.

[@clutchpack1969]

I hope you're reinforcing the winch mount to the actual unibody frame otherwise you'll rip that crash bar right off the vehicle.

[@ryanp6138]

Of course.

[@craigj2483]

Just putting the mud pluggers on is a massive improvement to the looks.

[@danielmarshall4587]

Bloody good job getting the winch fixed on.

[@mikebell2750]

Nice work! That V10 diesel is a beast and will be something to see off road.

Just awesome - really looking forward to seeing this off-road. Can’t be many with the balls to properly use a V10 Treg in anger.

[@2dcutout]

Production quality looks like it's getting better with each video, nice work! The most precise and practised your talking is, the smoother it goes, if you ramble, do another take. The montages are nice though - if you want inspiration on this front look at the Alec Steele channel. Looking forward to seeing how this goes offroad too, but also slightly concerned at the strength of that crash bar - only time will tell.

[@ryanp6138]

It has 80mm box section welded behind!

I liked this video before I had even watched it! Just loving the content

[@iconboyy]

i mainly watch these for this blokes accent

[@adamrobertsgb1]

Have you thought about making up a loom from the winch to a terminal inside the car? If your muddy, fitting that connector in the grill is going to be rather 'fun' but if you keep the winch controller and remote socket inside the car the controlling can be done from the comfort of the front seat

[@ryanp6138]

We might do that. I just leave it plugged vin

Sorted now

[@Thechriskraft]

@darkside , it looks great with the grill in place at the end of the video.

[@jameslines9794]

Imagine just gunning the wheel bolts in not torqing them up and then putting the wheel centres on. Hope that's not how you do customer cars 👀👀👀

hi guys! I have a Touareg 7l, suspension on springs. I would like to know if 255.70.r18 tires fit without having to cut or lift the car? thank you!

[@DarksideDevelopments]

That size converts to 32.1" which is similar to what is in the video

[@davidhammond3336]

Lol hahaha 😆... I'll stick with me land rover . Can't wait see this off road

So you put that tires without work on suspension? The dimension, please.

[@matimcfetridge]

Hell fire they are some serious tyres 😂

[@SteveSWC]

Ryan, purchase the wireless kit. Trust me, when you’re in the “shit” you don’t want to have to stand outside or even have the cable coming into the car with the window open as you will get all the mud inside. Also, when are you next off to Frickely? I’ll see if I can get there with my Frontera and we can have a “winch off!” 👍🏼
