What does that bolt to in the front? I see it bolts to the body in the rear.

Nice, I love mine! It's been super solid and definitely adds some peace of mind.

Looks like the primary support is the brackets you have to install for the Alltrack skid plate. Has those two bolts on the front left and front right outsides.

Looks like they have their own brackets, picture in this listing...

Their brackets look similar to the OEM skid plate mounting brackets, PN 5Q0825921 and 5Q0825922...

AWIC over here in TDI land... but from looking at pictures (and no actual experience) it appears you are correct.

Coded the Vlands noticed moisture and a ton of water from the rain in the LH outer not sure if I didn't seal them well enough or what... Not going to lie OBDEleven can be screwey. Dynamics ambers work. Replace side indicators with dark dynamics but my ride side mirror chipped a bit had to order a replacement. Now waiting on VLand or do I return via Amazon..

-Spark plug change
-Oil change (Liqui Moly 5w-40 Molygen). And the wife & I had Dodges prior to my GTI & her Tiguan. Holding on to the Mopar work mat.
-Jectron Fuel injection cleaner in a full tank of 93
-Installed block off plate. Going to keep an eye on it to see how it does with temps and my APR PEX Open Intake. Easy enough to remove.

Towed two dirtbikes this weekend. 2 hour trip on the highway. Felt a few tugs of the trailer on a few bumps on the highway but totally normal. Rented a motorcycle trailer from Uhaul.
Driving back was a pain in the ass. Injured my left foot friday night 30minutes into riding. Driving back down having to clutch in/out with a broken/sprained left foot was the most difficult thing I encountered. I had to use a motorcycle boot for compression. Highway was easy, city was hard due to stop and go. Glad I’m home and it’s all over. Time to recover.

highly recommend a spark plug gap tool (cheap on amazon) vs that old skool gap puck......easier and more accurate......but first world problems

I think I have three or four different gap tools. I always go back to this type (or do a final check with it) because it is what I grew up using 30+ years ago (ugh..how have I been driving and working on cars that long). Also, if I could store all of those gap tools in the same place so I could readily find them...
