Greetings from Napa, I'm going to be wiring up a light bar on my Transsiberia build in the near future, how did you tie in the wiring to the existing 955 fuse box(es)? Thinking of going with a remote on/off so I don't need to drill into the cabin.....but need to know where to pull power....thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

OverlandPcar,
No worries, we just have the air suspension.
It has gotten us anywhere we have wanted to go short of rock climbing or mud holing which we have no interest in.
Our initial post has grown as we try to help others. Any questions we can help with please we would love to help. We have no ties to any manufacturer or company - just enjoy helping others. We are in the Pacific N'west, where do y'all live? Highly recommend getting out on the trail prior to any mods or purchases. We have been car camping and running trails prior to 'Overlanding' becoming a marketing term. Gear has also gotten much more expensive as a result.
NOTE - Prior to purchase highly recommend getting maintenance records and a PPI. For our P-cars if a seller did not agree to a PPI, we would take a pass.

Hi there, I'm currently looking to pick up a 958 CD and do an overland build. I searched through your threads but I think its just an information overload and I'm unable to find what lift you have. Are you just running the factory air suspension off road height? Or do you have steel springs with some sort of coilover or lift spring? I apologize if this has been outlined on one of your threads.

Scott

Tony,
We have not gotten the diesel 'fix'
Happy with the way ours is running now.
As such the only numbers we have are pre 'fix'

I will be taking delivery of my 2010 GTS this week and about to engage it on an overland build. I have built multiple overlanding Jeeps including LJs, JKU, and several Commanders as well as a Ford Raptor. I chose the 2010 for this build because it was the last year optioned with a Low-Range transfer case. I would be interested in conversing with you on your build and positives and negatives of the Cayenne as an Overlanding vehicle.

Still have not switched to FR racks - we will be doing this though. Actually have been very busy and need to carve some time to do it. So far we have had to pass on seven off-road events this season and will miss another tomorrow. Hoping to come up for air soon!

Hey RS, Followed your threads before I picked up my Cayenne this past wknd, 2014 Diesel. Reason for writing is I'm coming out of a semi-built overland rig. T4R Trail w/ Front Runner rack & ARB awning with zip in tent. Curious if you switched Otis to the FR rack? Curious about fit & options for mounting. Any info you have would be great. Mine has factory rails and pano sun roof. Thanks.

Tony, Got your message on Rennlist ref dyno numbers for a 2013 TDI. I only have pre-fix numbers. We are not going to get the fix unless I have data to show our performance will not be impacted. We have to much invested in modifying ours, much more than what we would receive as compensation. If you looked at the link Ben referenced you can see some of what we are up to. Here are our before -at the wheels- numbers run on a Dynojet with data normalized for temperature.

Max Pwr____203.20___200.97___202.42
Engine RPM__3.55____3.56_____3.54
Max Trq_____354.82___356.82____352.35
Engine RPM__2.46_____2.44_____2.42

We do endurance off-road rally & Overlanding, can not afford to give up performance. One run last summer started at 3800' climbed to 8000' then descended to 4000' in less than one mile. Another issue for us is cold weather starts as in the -36F it got to in Yellowknife.
Thanks for reaching out. I will also PM you on Club Touareg which I do not visit often.

Hello,
I'm Tony, and I heard from someone on ClubTouareg that you were looking for dyno numbers for a Cayenne TDI as they relate to the TDI emissions fix. I have before and after dyno numbers for a 2013 Touareg TDI. Will that help you? The problem is, I had such a huge power loss (a power loss that I don't feel) that I don't trust the numbers.
I've been looking for someone else who did the same thing to kind of corroborate my data. Please tell me that you did a before and after!

I don't use forums a whole lot anymore, and I can't find where they hid the PM button.
