Everything wrong with my high-mileage, ex-Las Vegas rental 911 Turbo. SO MUCH IS BROKEN! 

So impressed with the growth you've shown from your roots as a humble EV towing channel. This is going to be the coolest build!

Honestly, making it a Dakar edition is a brilliant idea.

Reminder: Established Titles is a confirmed scam run by a company out of Hong Kong. The same company runs Deal Dash and Kamikoto knives. All are heavily advertised through RU-vid sponsorships and all are extremely shady. I hope Hoovie thinks twice about who he accepts ad money from from now on.

Hoovie, you have a reputation to uphold!!! You MUST do the ridiculous things, like a Dakar/Safari conversion. Somebody has to do it, it might as well be you. Plus, once it gets done and you show it around, you can take it to Barrett-Jackson and maybe flip it for something else that's unique (or totally ragged out). Watching the process would make for an interesting series of videos.

The gas smell is coming from the "top hat" in the frunk! The fuel sending unit lives under that cover, and after 20 ish years they start to crack and weep fuel. It's just 4 nuts that hold it on and you should be able to see the fuel puddling in the top of it causing it to smell. Happened on my 02 996 C4S and a new sending unit solved the issue. Btw the Safari idea is AMAZING. DO IT!

This is definitely my favorite truck testing/towing channel. Can't wait to see how much the Safari 911 can tow.

Love the channel Hoovie! Just a heads up, your sponsor, ESTABLISHED TITLES is a scam, you do not actually end up owning a piece of land. It’s really just a novelty certificate. Do your due diligence before promoting or buying from them. Cheers!

long time silent supporter here, I see you're getting a lot of support for this new crazy idea, it's nice to see you have such a great bunch of people around you irl and online. The Dakar build is not to my taste though. Best of luck to you Tyler. I'll surely be watching this as well.

*You should turn it into a complete Dakar copy - including the paint/decals!*

As an off-road enthusiast, I'd love to see the Dakar conversion of this 911! I think it would be great content and seeing such a unique build would be awesome.

Hoovie, that puppy is the perfect car to safari/rally-macate! It's just beat-up enough to not feel bad about having some fun with it. I foresee an episode featuring dirt and/or mud coming up...✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

Hey Hoovie, love the content! I wanted to reach out to let you know that Established Titles has been exposed as an extremely problematic scam sponsorship!

Do the Dakar, but on a budget. Fox shocks, basic body lift and some light trimming of panels…Hooptie approved

I'm SO here for turning this into an off-roader!

I think it needs to be as tall as Matt's old one but 12/10 would love to see a safari porsche and it would be great for those Kansas winters. I'm excited thinking about it driving through the deep snow without issue

Owner of the Plum Crazy 911 here. That is not ruined for sure, it's awesome and everyone who sees it loves it.

This is a great project, Tyler! I definitely think you should go ahead with the rally conversion. You could also deal with the paint job issue by covering it in rally livery and stickers! Maybe even get a little sponsorship by putting other RU-vidrs' stickers on there?

Yes! This is exactly what I was hoping you'd do with it. Love off-road cars that weren't meant to be off-road cars.

The Best videos are: your daughter picking purple to paint the other Porsche, and seeing her happiness when it was done. (You rocked in Dad mode!)

Huuh, "Lord Hoovie." That was hysterical. I almost shot my drink out of my nose! There's no doubt why Hoovie's Garage is my favorite RU-vid channel. The sense of humor portrayed on Tyler's channel, with comic relief support from "The Car Wizard," is absolutely priceless! (Oh yeah, plus two grand to fix the hydraulic spoiler....well.... that's not gonna happen.)

I agree with this off-road build. I miss the old days of when you modified your vehicles (Apollo 911, the Lexus Landcruiser,the Nitro Fast and Furious Prius and I think Porche Cayenne to name a few). The unboxings were fun and you have good taste in mods. It was always fun to see what you would bolt on next.

The back and forth with the Wizard never gets old. I smiled during the entire exchange.

I just love it when the Wizard starts internet shopping when Tyler brings him a new sad victim of a previous owners drivers abuse 😂, Rolex watches, Yachts and Exotic cars ! Go Wizard 👍

Love it when the Wizard breaks out the pen light.

Please do the Safari conversion!!!! It would be so much fun to see the process and I doubt most of us got to see such a build on RU-vid

Definitely go for the Safari conversion and a Car Trek episode on converted rally cars would be awesome!

If you want to lift it, just get another cayenne turbo..lol. build one back to original or even mild street with some mild upgrades to make a solid driver.

YES on the LIFT & Safari Conversion!!! Wizard can make & install some 2" lift pucks for a couple grand$$$!!! You are already IN BUSINESS!!! Face It! You are never really going to Safari that thing anyway. Looks are EVERYTHING!!!

Yes, Tyler, absolutely yes you need to do this. It’s a spectacular idea, I’m 100% behind turning this 996 turbo into an off-roader.

PLEASE make a Safari 911 out of that one, it for sure would be some awesome content!

The Porche 996 has been one of my favorites. I think it would be cool to do the Safari conversion but that is a hefty chunk to spend.

IT would be a lot of fun to drive. Go for it Tyler. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Honestly $17,000 didn’t seem like such a high price for all the safari parts. I think I would be a cool build. Go for it Hoovie !

I'm so excited for this build! With the paint being so worn the possibilities are endless. I know what I would do with it but curious to see which direction you would go with it. I fell in love with Ed's Orange Off road Cayenne he had for Car Trek. So I think this could be an epic response to that! I can't wait to see what you do with it. Not only that, this could be your winter beater build so to speak.

All of the car’s issues appearing on Wizard’s shirt in the into is the most Hoovie thing ever.

You have got to do this conversion Hoovie, it will be insane!

I say go for the Safari build. However, if you do, don't cheap out. Going off road will put much more stress on other components, so you should plan to replace those up-front. It's going to cost much more than just the suspension and tires!

A safari build with like a simple wrap on it (personally I think that a sand colour would look quite nice) with the retro safari lettering along the bottom of the door would look nice.

Do it Hoovie, watching the conversion on RU-vid will be fascinating 👍👍👍

Would love to see this build! 😍

LOVE the safari idea! I would love you entertaining us on Off Road trails! Love your videos and shows! Keep up the awesome content!

$17K?! If you can spend that plus the wrap for the final product and sell it on for a profit, then yes go for it! At least you'll spruce this worn out 911 up for a new life!! Thanks so much for sharing your fun hooptie adventures with us!

RAISE THAT BABY UP!!!! I think it would look cool. Good luck on the project.

I'd just have a 911 Turbo beater project. I don't mind those transmissions at all for GT style trips or traffic. Well I would have bought something cheaper to build as a beater but I'm not Hoovie. Putting that much into a conversion for this car seems like it's just burning the money. I like the idea a lot, I built an AWD rally car using a super beetle shell over a custom chassis for the 1.8T quattro power train with front engine and rear rads/cooling. About as close as I would get to something like this Porsche.

Do it Hoovie! The conversion could lead to some great follow-on videos. You know a fellow enthusiast would surely pay what you have you have into it so they don’t have to take on the conversion themselves.

I would LOVE to see you turn this into a budget 911 Dakar! I saw the video commercial for the new Dakar trim before the price and I got my hopes up it wouldn’t be outrageously priced lol

HOOVIE!! DOOO IT!! I have always wanted to do that! they look soooo incredible! its amazing that you are willing to do it! btw. the more Porsche content, the better !!!

Go for it dude. You’ll have an opportunity for making videos of the build and then taking it on a trip off road

Do it! It’s crazy for a “normal” person to do but it’s a perfect Hoovie project!

This is an amazing idea. Haven’t been this excited for something on your channel for a while

A+content love seeing what trouble you get yourself into in each video highly impressive car dealership you have damn sick collection

Honestly seems like a good little car I would like to see it as a clean simple and "cheap" build

Tyler watching your financial ruin always brings us great joy. So go for the Dakar conversion and know that you are bringing your subscribers such holiday cheer!

Oh yes! We'd love to see you make your car into a Dakar version of itself!

Oh the fun we’re going to have with this. Back woods, turbos spoolin, hair on fire. Let’s go somewhere other than the wizards!

You MUST do the conversion and enter a race with it!! Put a POV camera on it while racing it...Car Wizard as your Pit Crew...YEA!

From the moment you unveiled this car and exposed it's condition I thought this would be a perfect candidate for a Baja tribute Porsche but I didn't think you had this kind of full custom build in you for this channel. Glad I was wrong!

Sounds like a great idea and that's the perfect donor platform to do it on. You could even save some bucks and instead of painting, do a wrap with different colors to emulate a sponsored off road runner. Go for it.

Yes, please do the conversion! It will rock in the snow.

You should definitely do the conversion it’s gonna turn out great also I wanted to mention the credibility of established titles it’s not my place to talk about how good they are as a company but there are numerous videos talking about their practices which are potential scams

Modifying the Porsche seems like a good idea!! Keep it up Tyler!! Regards from Spain!!

From one Hoovy to another Hoovie...I approve to build it up to a safari spec. It would be even more awesome to see you participate in an off-road event with it!

Hey! I really love these 911 turbo's. I live in a very rural area in northwestern Ontario, Canada (only a few hours away from Winnipeg) with TONS of long gravel forestry roads that actually make for awesome driving with plenty of corners and hills with beautiful forest scenery. These roads are however usually pretty rough... It would be FANTASTIC to see a powerful high end car such as this porsche with a 3 inch off road lift/suspension package. We have mostly pickup trucks and the odd suv/jeeps around here. I drive an older F150 5.4 3v (had to say it for the wizard) that I have locked and tuned the variable valve timing system so it doesnt work, along with some other engine mods this has bullet proofed the engine. With my 3 inch lift and 35" tires these graveI roads are pretty fun. My point is however that where i live no one even owns a porsche! I want to see this 911 turbo ripping on some gravel backroads! It would be so much fun to have that type of car turned into a sort of high end rally speed machine! It would destroy a subaru WRX. Please go ahead with the mods! UUUUGH im excited like a little kid thinking of the high power short wheel base absolute ripper that car could be! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

I love how "BUMPER" is projected on CarWizards belly.

That rear spoiler could be as simple as a dusty micro switch. The switch is on the right hand (US passenger)side under the spoiler lid, had a black cover. Pop the cover off, contact clean abs see what happens.

That’d be a big hellyeah for the Safari conversion! Way more interesting than just another restoration!

Counterpoitn: Gemballa yellow 997 Chinese body kit for the Turbo. Including the wing. Then get a Cayenne Turbo for the overlander stuff.

Yesssss make it a super powered sand buggy or something. Maybe not a full safari build but like those old VW dune buggies but with WAY more power.

That is the best idea you had in a long time, can’t wait to see it come together

Sounds like Tyler wants to be prepared if Ed and Freddie are thinking about doing another offroad Car Trek adventure :)

Do it ! I would love to see you in the future off road that thing have fun !

We love when vehicles are changed to be enjoyed a different way.

I find it hilarious when Wizard's scanning the internet for expensive luxury goods just as Hoovie is about to pay the huge bill !!

Can't wait to see it lifted and looking all rally style.

Porsche did a lifted 996 turbo and it was driven across the Australian outback in 2000. They installed 200mm thick ally spacers between the body and the subframes. It was very cool. Do it! Safari/Dakar would be awesome!

Gotta give it a go. They are cool. I'll be watching. Wish we could leave photos show you what a friend of mine is involved with in Australia. He's with Maxtrax be sure to hit him up to put as set on your build.

I think this would be very unique and fun project. Not to mention the fun you'll have when it's actually completed. We'd all love to see this conversion!

This is an amazing idea and you won't be affraid to take it offroad because of the "questionnable" paintjob 😆

This potential build will make great winter entertainment for your followers, I hope you take it on. In addition, if you really want to do it, fix the paint too!

I’m assuming you didn’t research “established titles” before you did the sponsorship deal. They are a scam company and the land titles are souvenir titles and you cannot get a lord or Lady title from them. Additionally they don’t plant any trees the claim to donate to 1 tree planted but you actually will not own any land

i say go for it! I would love to see the build and result. love your channel and its nice to see you put a positive spin on things that would make most grown men cry like a baby.

I LOVE this idea! Goes back to my love of the old Tamiya 959 Dakar RC car.

This is my favorite RU-vid car channel because of these crazy ideas, yes to a Porsche safari conversion

Do it, Hoovieee!!! It will be awesomely interesting! Greetings for you from Bulgaria!

I think the off road idea is insane and I must see it! I would love to watch you turn that thing into a crazy off-road beast!

Definetly do it, and you need to add a martini livery wrap to it. Surely if you sort the mechanicals, add the kit, and get it wrapped it'll be worth more than the sum of its parts! You'd be maybe $60k in but surely with the rarety and the recent porsche announcement you'd be inline for some profit.

DEFINITELY! And don't forget the off road safari racing full body wrap! Make it a SEMA build. Also... do the electric wing upgrade.

Do it Hoovie! Off-road it!

Do the safari conversion and wrap it in a truly wild color, can't wait to see it rolling around the city.

Yes yes and more yes!!! Can’t wait to see the final product of the off-road 911

Looking forward to seeing the off-road build!! Let 'er rip!

Because Gemballa's son did the Gemballa Marsien 911 and it sold like hotcakes. People will thank you for turning it into a Marsien, just so you fix those fugly headlights. Tiptronics shift faster than a manual if you want the best performance keep the Tiptronic. Another option is to make it like the King Kong 1500hp 996 turbo.

Absolutely do it! Those era 911’s are a dime a dozen. A Dakar version would be truly rare.

I didn't know I wanted Hoovie to build a Safari 996, but here I am.

Overland-style. Yes, I would love to see your creativity at work here! A longer term video series would be perfect.

Great idea. Something different than you've done in the past. Should be a cool project to follow.

Can’t go wrong with another 911 build. Those are some of the best videos.

Love safari builds but would prefer to see a budget build than a high end kit

Everything is not money. You can make an amazingly cool car, maybe with your logo painted on it(to bring more awareness in the future), and make the world a better place. DO IT!

Go for it! Sounds like a fun build.
