2012 Audi Q7 Tdi Eurowise build

[TTFR]

Howdy,

This is where I'm at on my 2012 Audi 3.0 Diesel.

3"lift with a 1" subframe drop. New BBS wheels, and 33's. (275/70-18)

winchmount front bumper with a bullbar going in as well.

Wilco Offroad swingout rear tirecarrier for the spare.

Probably be building a DIY, 8020 rack, as well.

Rear lift and subframe drop complete, front subframe drop done, waiting on some suspension level sensor parts to arrive, and 28mm spacers and 90mm studs to finish up the lift.

So far, it looks like we'll have around 14" clearance on the lowest point, which I think is the gas tank skid plate. We might add rock rails, and some underbody protection. Not sure yet. This will likely just be a Glamper. No locking diffs, so it isn't a Cayenne.

After we finish this, we'll be starting one on our 2023 Ford Lightning, Likely with a 3" lift and with some sort of Trailer with extra batteries, and a foldout flexible solar panel system with somewhere around 3kw of production. We have a single axle trailer, that we'll likely lift, and that currently has a 2000lb load rating, I think.

Wow, That's a massive build.

Wow, That's a massive build.

Thanks, excited about it. Wish the parts would get here to finish...

spacers on, three of four wheels on, Wilco swing out tire carrier is in...

Superwinch 12k on the way, and need to make some intercooler relocation brackets to pull them forward.

Then start on the 8020 roof rack.

Keepin' moving but slow. Had to do a bunch of work to my autocross car(see pic, lower and hopefully faster with Ohlins), but after this weekend, could possibly finish the basic build.

Still need to:

• relocate the Intercoolers (just make some brackets to move them forward a bit)
• install the radiator mount
• install the winch mount bumper
• install the winch (superwinch 12k)
• install the bumper, headlights, turnsignals. Went with an older S-line Q7 bumper because the parking sensors are on the bottom and might clear whatever lightbar/bullbar I get.
• choose what eurowise light/bull bar I want
• acquire the S-line fender trim showing in the second pic. I really like the look, but it's super expensive OEM, and the chinese versions take a month and a half to get here.
• hack a Prinsu rack onto the top.
• relocate the rear view camera and remove/relocate rear parking sensors.
• Decide on how to do rock rails, buy or build.
• start working on the cargo area
• possibly choose a roof top tent
