    Your not going to be able to do all that much. There is no aftermarket really for the Touareg since there is no demand for much offroad stuff. You can put oversized tires on them, but you are limited to 32" on non TDI and about 30.5" on TDI's. There are a few people doing lift kits, but there is nothing being done commercially for sale. Anything you do will be DIY.

    ^^^^^^ Exactly, Yeti knows what he's talking about

    Regardless, here's mine - 2" Spring spacer lift (again, DIY) and 285/60/18s (31.5")

    Just off the lift after installing the spacers:


    Having some fun in a rut on the side of the trail:


    Difference in height between a stock air touareg (in sport mode) vs. my truck:


    An early view of the trunk; it now holds: full size spare, jack/jackstand, jumper cables, tool kit, full recovery gear/spares, axe/shovel, wilderness medical kit, air compressor. Where the factory spare sat, now sits; a secondary Optima yellow top (isolated w/ ignition off) to power a separate fuse block, air compressor, and 880w inverter (which connects to a 6 outlet power strip on top of the shelf)


    Unfortunately it hasn't been off the pavement at all this year (other than through some fields @ the state fair's parking area and over some curbs in the city)

    I want to see this thread get going!

    I'm always interested in the Touareg but the lack of aftermarket and people actually trying to offroad in the is a big time bummer!

    Can you explain what you did for spacers?

    Here's one we built several years back





    It's sitting on 265/65/17 Bridgestone A/T Revos. It also has a Thule Moab basket, PIAA lights, and a Westin Safari light bar

    We eventually added urban camo graphics too, but never got any good pictures
