Porsche Cayenne: Luxury Meets Off-road 10 Minute Build

[@michaelfreund]

Excellent!! Thanks for not speaking. A joy to watch.

[@372122]

Nice! wanting to do all of this. Just bought a 04 turbo for my son and looking for one for me so we can do a father/son build...thanks for the ideas!

[@patrickbrass7809]

Well done!!!!! Love it! These are already immensely capable off road just plain stock. The mods are reasonable, not crazy looking, and just increased its off-road performance 10 fold! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

A Great No Bullshit Video a Pleasure to watch you working..

[@ChooliYip]

Fantastic details of the off-road build! Even someone who just wants to keep this model year as daily drive should do some of these build.

[@dcwebb1]

Wish you could post more detailed info on this car and build. MANY Cayenne owners are considering these mods! Nice job and hope you post more content on it.

[@Sfdgarage]

I plan on it! It’s not my personal car and I didn’t have the time to go super detailed on this video. But I’ll have it back in my shop soon and try to do a more detailed video. I appreciate it!

[@francisdupuis6025]

Good stuff, my OCD would kill me with not treating the corrosion though!

[@autotino8738]

Wow it turned out really good! Im looking forward to buy one too Peace

Very clean build there

[@feelingcreative9525]

Great build. Looking to get a 2011 Turbo and I would to do a 2-3 inch lift. This video is super helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@ivanbayarri2807]

Very good after doing the sprinter van this will be the next one. Maybe new paint job and a roofrack will finish the job Good job

[@seanscott7120]

Well done and great fab work. I had a 2009 M/T no lift but ran 265/65 tires on it. Such a great rig.

[@armurano5093]

Any tire rubbing with that size.

[@seanscott7120]

@@armurano5093 Very minimal, only at full lock. I would see small amounts of scuff marks on the fender liner.

Great job. Where did you get the winch holder?

[@jagdeepsharma8170]

i wish you were in Toronto :) I have 2008 with just 110K miles on it and would have loved to do the same upgrade.

[@VersaceRedneck]

Perfect job !! You did everything that I want to do. What stereo did you use?

[@Sfdgarage]

Thanks appreciate it! It’s the Xtrons headunit

[@adventurouscampers]

VERY NICE !!!!!! GOOD JOB !!!!!!!!!!

[@johop1496]

wow 👍👍👍

[@chriscunningham8453]

Nice job! What’s the rear tow point? Class 3 hitch would fit the bill.

[@blairwhiteford9925]

Great job!! Also did you replace the struts because they were shot or you just wanted a better ride? Thanks

[@Sfdgarage]

Thanks! They were replaced just due to age and high mileage. The quick struts are rather affordable so that’s what we went with

[@marcarocanadal3290]

The roof rack name please?

[@andrewkazemian8384]

what entertainment unit did you install? It looked awesome.

[@defnotteek]

Xtronz

[@mosesmanaka8109]

Great video, well done. 👊🏿👍🏿

[@Dge_Dge]

Hi good job on this 955. The tires size are 275/65R18 ?

[@Sfdgarage]

Yes sir

[@Wanderer25]

Nice build. Does it have the rear diff lock option? What made you choose the spring suspension over airbags?

[@Sfdgarage]

It does have the diff lock. It came without air suspension so adding it wasn’t the move. And honestly if it had air struts I may have still replaced them with the springs for simplicity and cost

[@der_maschinenraum1066]

Great job! What chassis and tyres did you use?

[@JakubAblewicz]

What brand lift kit skid plate and android radio

[@Sfdgarage]

Xtrons radio, EuroWise lift kit, and the skid plate I designed myself in CAD and had cut out by Sendcutsend.com

[@Dggb2345]

Clean

[@tomc8115]

Hi. Great video. Am new to offroading. Have a 2018 Cayenne Platinum Edition. What is the advantage of combining the 1/2 inch frame drop with the 2.5 inch lift? Thank you.

[@Sfdgarage]

The idea is to keep the working angles of the suspension and drive lines closer to stock. I don’t think it was 100% necessary but avoiding more extreme drive shaft angles does sound like a decent idea.

[@that957]

Nicely done! 👏

[@demmisneves7486]

Where r u from? Suspension 2 or 3 inches lift?

[@Nsane211]

SICC. What type and size tire did you use?

[@PTRPerformance]

Nice. What tires size?

[@Sfdgarage]

[@defnotteek]

Looks awesome man. I'm thinking about picking up a cayenne soon. Not sure if I want the NA V8 or just grab a base with the VR6 (bc VW exp). I don't plan on hauling just overland fun

[@Sfdgarage]

From my reading, the vr6 and na v8 seem to have the similar amount of problems. I was throughly impressed with the amount of power out of this v8. Like you I don’t think I would spring for the turbo model though, just more to go wrong

[@defnotteek]

@@Sfdgarage I'd be more comfortable with the VR6 just since I know it better after working on VWs but I'm pretty sure MPG is about the same for the V8 amd that sound with just the muffler bypass is awesome. Definitely not too keen on a bigger engine with more spinny bits lol

[@Sfdgarage]

@@defnotteek muffler bypass is definitely on the list of things to do. Mpg is roughly 12-13 😅

[@defnotteek]

@@Sfdgarage that beats my GTI rn 🤣 good thing I don't need to commute for work anymore

[@defnotteek]

@@Sfdgarage Update, I got a t3 TDI Touareg! installing the lift here in a second. Had some aftermarket 17x8s with 265/70 wildpeaks at3w's thrown on. Running about ET25. looks mean and rubs a little bit.

[@jackgreener2864]

what was your total cost for the build?

[@tk-su2qr]

Nice

[@BladeBarn]

how much $?

[@SkywalkerPaul]

Funny thing is here in Germany we don't use old Cayennes for Offroading. We use range rover and G class

[@Jpulido91]

These cayennes are cheaper to start with than a G wagon. I own one of the new broncos and i can build one of these a lot cheaper. G wagons are amazing! Maybe I will get one in the future!

[@DM007x]

Man, Cool Video! Is this one yours?

[@Sfdgarage]

This is one I put together for a friend, but I’d like one

[@DM007x]

@@Sfdgarage In your opinion, What do you think the biggest downfall is to doing something like this? I grew up a Honda autocross/road race guy so reliability is definitely something I love for sure.. with the 955 it seems like transfer cases coil packs blah blah blah seem to be a common issue but not sure really how common. Figured I'd pick your brain! And thanks as always!

[@Sfdgarage]

@@DM007x definitely have to find one with really good service records. This one has over 150k miles but was maintained at the same dealership it’s whole life. After doing all the preventative work in this video we haven’t had a single issue with it over the last 3k miles. I think having the non turbo version is also a big help with a lot less parts to fail, but main concern would be finding one that is visibility well taken care of

[@DM007x]

@@Sfdgarage Very cool.. Definitely appreciate it!

[@dandewar8403]

What stereo is that, finding it hard to find a different stereo that isn’t a cheap Chinese made eBay one so not sure on the quality and if it works with the steering wheel controls??

[@Sfdgarage]

This was the Xtrons Andriod based touch screen unit. Basically just a Tablet running headunit functions. Install was easy on this one, no instructions but if you’ve installed a couple it’s kinda straight forward. Needed an antenna adaptor which wasn’t included, but functionally wise it works pretty well. Bluetooth hooks right up and radio works as it should along with the steering wheel controls. It looks 10x better hands down, but has a long boot up time and isn’t super super smooth but that’s just kinda what you get with headunits like this

[@MWise-kq3jy]

@@Sfdgarage Did you have to use any kind of adapter module to connect the head unit? Did your Cayenne have the Bose system?

[@Sfdgarage]

@@MWise-kq3jy nope the unit came with two different adaptors which one of worked perfect. This one does have the Bose system which I didn’t touch and operates normally. The only adaptor I needed was a single to double fakra antenna cable. The cayenne has two antenna connections and the headunit only has one. Without both plugged in you won’t have sound output

[@chadbyrd4895]

NICE!!

[@Difigon]

Tire size?

[@jameswang4706]

NIce build, what size tires did you end up putting on there? (And this is a steel spring suspenion , non-air correct)?

[@Sfdgarage]

These are a 275/65/18 and yeah it was non air suspension

[@Moazmishariff]

nice man

[@GenoFoster]

That was satisfying haha

[@ckk100]

Looks like the camber on the left front wheel is way off (positive). Is that because of the lift? How are you going to fix that. Awesome build, love the build flow.

[@Sfdgarage]

The video was taken right after it was pulled off the lift so it wasn’t fully settled yet. But I did an alignment on the vehicle shortly afterwards and all the angles came right into stock spec’s using stock adjustment points front and rear

[@ckk100]

@@Sfdgarage so no need for adjustable upper control arms?
