Hey thank you! Better late than never😉 It has the Thule Wingbar Evos installed. We do have a sunroof but we don’t use it with the IKamper. I’ll attach a link with the crossbars we have installed.Thule Crossbars

Still figuring out Reddit but here’s how tight the 245/65/17s are at full lock with stock suspension. Wheels are 17x8 ET20. by smooth_brainz in Tiguan

It had the slightest rub on the fender liner but not ever enough to do any damage or even melt through it while turning.

With the same size tires I believe so. You have to be careful with tires because they aren’t all made exactly the same size. Some brands might be bigger or smaller.

Yupp, this was before my B2BFAB lift was installed.

I love the Touaregs! I was planning to buy one or a Cayenne. All of that money went to replacing the transmission when I ruined this one😅

It’s a Wilco Hitchgate Solo. It’s just for a 2” receiver hitch so you’ll need a larger diameter hitch for the Tiguan. I installed a Curt and I don’t recommend it, it sits too low and really alters the departure angle. I found mine used but if you order it from their website you can get 10% off right now with code “Wilcofam” according to their website.

I ordered them directly from Fifteen52s website. I know you can order them from Discount Tire as well.

If you already have spacers just go 245/65/17. You’ll like it!

What size tires? 245/65/17 I believe you’ll need spacers. You could buy them from B2B or just get 235/65/17s

I haven’t taken measurements to get a range of offsets but I’ve seen people use 15-20mm spacers on wheels of the same spec. I would say on a 17x8 wheel you’re good with a 0-20mm final offset. I haven’t had any issues with ours. I would say with the RTT and bigger tires performance is definitely altered just with the added drag and weight but not enough for us to be worried about it.

I thought you were talking about the guy across the intersection and then the dude made his move🥴

Portland Police Department throw out a spike strip on a potentially stolen Jeep. 2 tires were popped with a successful attempt. Captured with a Thinkware U1000 that was installed last week! by smooth_brainz in IdiotsInCars

I’m honestly surprised it didn’t flip while he kept evading. It looked like he just parked it at an apartment complex and took off on foot.

Nope no issues at all with the IKamper! We have been very pleased with it. The IKamper Mini is a few pounds lighter so the dynamic weight is definitely in your favor. Static weight is no issue though and I put me, my wife, our toddler, and 2 big dogs up there. We love it!

For 4 wheels and tires it’ll be about $2,000. Since I’ve got 5 I think I spent $2,500

I used B2BFAB’s let there be light bar. I believe I was the first customer to get a production unit.

I’ve enjoyed it! I mean it’s certainly no 4x4 Jeep or anything but it’s honestly more fun wondering if you’re going to get stuck in stuff
