Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

WOW!
What a great job you've done with your new toy mate! 
Good to see you've already found the Club Touareg forums - they seemed to have some really nice guys on there and organise some good outings which your Treg is MORE than ready to tackle! What they do/did was a little too ambitious for my little Tiguan.
Just a few questions:
1) Loving the extra lift you've got with the spring spacers, tyres, etc. Just wondering, what has the effect been on drive shaft angles and are you concerned about extra wear on (CV?) joints as a result of the extra lift? The guy in South Africa that made spring spacers for the Tiguan reckoned it wasn't worth going more than 35mm-40mm higher as the stress and wear would be too great.
2) From the vids I've seen of you playing in water/mud I see you're willing to do some wading. Also, by fitting snorkles it looks like you're hoping on going deep - have you done anything as far as diff/gearbox breathers? I don't know what the Treg wading depth is, but I'm assuming it is more limited by the diff/gearbox breathers than the air intake. If you haven't looked into it is it something you reckon is worth considering?
3) The bash plate you made for my Tig is great, but your one for the Treg looks to be in another class! Did you notice much difference in the noise in the cabin after fitting the plate? At first I didn't with the one you made for me, but after a couple of months I suddenly noticed a distinct resonating sound in the cabin. I made a plan fitting some rubber dampers each side of the plate at each of the mounting bolts and that helped a bit. Just wondering whether there's a similar issue with the Treg.
Otherwise I am green with envy - you have a beautiful vehicle there! I love that you've moved to lifting your vehicles now rather than slamming them
