Thank god ! I found your site!! I just today , trashed a big van idea to go touring in . Then I thought , gotta go with a Jerp? Then again the price for Jeep’s , and interior comfort . No thank you! So what else ids out there. The Porsche. So my background is primarily , sailing long distance, bicycle touring. Last all that changed I fought stage 4 cancer and won. Only problem is the damage done to my body. Primarily, neuropathy below my knees. Sailing and bicycle touring , not now and maybe never again. But I can drive. I’m 62, and looking forward to living a long life. Thanks for sharing what you have learned. Carl.

Cheers Harrison, informative video. I'm at the crossroad between the euro wise roof rack and the front runner, I'm in the UK and frontrunner would be half the cost of the euro wise offering. I appreciate you have strong links with EW but considering the price margin, would spending double the price give me a superior roof rack? Or are you happy with the performance of the FR? I will be mounting the iKamper skycamp 2 on top. Cheers

@HarrisonSchoen 2 жыл бұрын

I’m very happy with the performance of my Frontrunner! I’d absolutely recommend going that direction if it’s 1/2 the price. If you are not in a rush to purchase, I will have a 5% coupon code available hopefully this week.

Stumbled on your channel and like the evaluations you provide even negative issues for a product that doesn't quite deliver or last as long as you hoped. I have a stock 2005 Touareg with the air suspension, and would like some recommendations on where to best start tricking out my rig. I like the air suspension so what should I start with? Eurowise lift?

@HarrisonSchoen Жыл бұрын

I would recommend first some sliders for the vehicle. Those in my opinion are most important! Then engine skid and lift after that. Eurowise is really the only option for your air suspension lift!

@MrTwosmokersonly Жыл бұрын

I agree with you on the protection bits to start with. looks like eurowise 3" lift with tubular a-arms and other small bits are roughly $1500. Any idea what tires work with the stock 18" 2005 touareg wheels 31" x ? x 18 or what size can be squeezed in the wheel wells, I'm in Florida so sand, mud, and clay mainly. Really appreciate the quick response, I really do appeciate your input.

Harrison - wonderful channel you have. Love it! Can you describe the Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack in more detail? The one you have installed appears to be longer than the kit that Front Runner has for the 955/957 Cayenne. Can you provide the overall length and width of the Rack you have. I also noticed you doubled-up on the Roof Rail attachment points. I am planning to do the same (4 mounts on the Left and 4 on the Right sides). Keep making great content - we are watching!

@HarrisonSchoen Жыл бұрын

Hey Norman! I have the 1255mm X 1762mm rack and believe it’s the perfect size! I also would recommend only 3 feet on each side, 2 80-90mm feet and one 50-70mm bracket because of the curve or the roof. I did 4 because it seemed strongest with the way my roof tent is mounted!
