I've been slowly building up my 2015 CD for mild off road usage. I've added a Eurowise 2" lift, fitted 265/65R18 BFG KO2's on Alpha Grenad wheels, DirtCom swing out tire carrier, Eurowise winch plate w/o a winch as a recovery point, the complete underbody protection kit (skid plates and rock...

Turns out the cable/plug coming from the breakout box didn't have the same wire color assignments as with wiring harness and to top that off I confused the trailer end of the plug with the vehicle end; thus it wasn't working even though I thought I had checked the wiring. My bad! Once I...

I have an Auto-Vox wireless system I installed on my Boxster. It too mounts to the license plate area. It is a two channel unit so I also I have second on installed at the front. Both cameras have adequate resolution but I would have preferred higher resolution. I mounted my display to my...

7-pin towing plug now working??? This has me scratch'n my head. . . I have a 2015 Diesel Cayenne which I purchased from the dealership. As part of the deal I had them install the towing hitch and wiring. For several years I have now been using the supplied 7-pin to 4-pin flat connector...

Turns out I did measure incorrectly. They are 5.5". Didn't realize the measurement is taken from the center of one lug to the outside of the opposite lug. never the less I now have adapters on the trailer that are 5x5.5 to 5x5 ( Jeep JK wheels). the hub bore for the adapter is 108mm. They...

I have a M416 trailer that came with aftermarket rims and some used BFG All Terrain T/A KO2 LT285/75R16 tires installed. I measured the rim's lug spacing and found 5.25 x 5" with a 71.4 mm bore. I'm questioning if what I measured is correct. Looking at wheel adapters sellers I don't find 5.25...

(Sorry if this is a repeated topic; I didn't recall seeing such from my past reading thru this thread) Looking into a receiver hitch swing-out tire carrier, but with this setup the factory rearview camera video image is blocked. Seems to be several options available to solve this problem so I...

If I recall correctly I have the same ARB tent room for the JK and the awning which I hoped to use with the Cayenne. I was going to break it out of storage and mock up the setup on my back patio before tried to purchase a roof rack system; verify what I have to work with and maybe uncover what...

excellent input from all. I'm moving forward with the swing out tire carrier. Will do more research on the roof top rack as to which one is best for rough off-roading (washboard roads tend to shake everything loose with time). Thanks again to all.

Thanks mep1811 for your advice. I've started down that path already a number of years ago with the pickup a set of five 18" gen 1 rims and mounted BFG KO2's (255/55/18) on them. I've run this for a while but never took the spare with me as I don't have the factory roof rack and probable...

Well after reading more posts containing "Otis" information over at the Rennlist site and the question I was trying to extract from this thread (but poorly stated on my part) was if the diesel Cayenne lifts a wheel are you stuck because the traction is only applied to the lifted wheel (kinda...

Thanks for your reply. I have done about 8-years of overlanding in a Jeep club (Jeep Expeditions out of Phx AZ) with a 1983 Scrambler and a 2010 Rubicon Unlimited, 2 vehicles on opposite ends of the spectrum from each other, so I do know recovery and most kinds of overlanding terrain and how...

What facts are you using to base your durability and reliability concerns on? How can you pass judgement without owning a Cayenne? In your world, everyone should own brand "X" because you own one! I owned a 2010 JK Unlimited Rubicon for 6 years from new and had more repairs over the 60K...

Another question concerning off-road tires. I purchased a second set of rims and now getting ready to have some BFG All Terrain T/A K02 tires installed onto them. Do you guys run TPM sensors with your off-road tires? I was planning on NOT putting sensors on the rims as I was setting up these...

How much weight do you think you were carrying up there? Was it off-road?

To All, I've been given the impression by my local Porsche dealership that installation of the roof rails can't be done as a dealership installed option. It must be ordered from the factory. What causes the dealership not to be able to install it? Does Porsche put on a different roof...

I see from your photo that you are using the "clamp-on" type of rail system. As I understand, these are rated at about 1/2 the carrying capacity of the factory installed rails. What kinds of loads and how rough of terrain are you going over to give a strong recommendation on this type of rack...

Mike, I just gave up my 2010 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited and now drive a 2015 Porsche Cayenne Diesel. I used the Jeep for over-landing the past 8 years with a couple Jeep clubs but have lost interest. I still want to get out but more on forest roads in Arizona where I live. I was planning on...

I have a 2010 JK Rubicon with a dual battery set up. I use two yellow top Optima batteries. They both charge off the vehicles alternator while I am driving. Between the two batteries "+" terminals I have a solenoid which acts to isolate the two batteries when I have the Jeep off. The...

I'm interested as well if this deal is still going to happen. I might pick it up and could deliver others as well back to the Phoenix area to help offset the cost of driving out and back.
