I hope skoda watching this and taking notes!!
I would like so, but as I know how it goes in our factory, they arent... 😐
Love my yeti, but the one you guys have built is something else! Awesome work fellas, definitely need to visit for a remap on mine.
Loved it. Rolling on my back holding me ribs at the jump at the end. Mental.
Wow very surprised how capable off road the yeti is !!!! Nice build
Very cool build. Awesome work and imagination fellas 👏🏻
I just saw that you raffled off this Yeti YESTERDAY. I could cry. Dream car for me.
Great build now you guys need to do I high end build of the Yeti thanks for all your work
Good to see proper motor engineers at work, very creative
Awesome guys !
Nailed it!! 🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥
💯 made me want to buy one of these, merry Christmas to everyone
Great Yeti you have there! 👍
Yeti montage - Christmas is now complete 😄👍
Great work, it's hilarious to see that thing launched into the air 😂
Nice job
Yeti is amazing car but this beast
😍👏🤩
I love the old yeti
Im in love
Made my Christmas morning I love my yeti I’m gonna bring it up to you guys for a makeover cheers. … Happy New Year guys 👍🇬🇧☠️
😂 that’s sick, I’d love to do this to my yeti!
That Yeti oh :D Love mine, run a 2018 TDI. Remaped, lifted, done what I could with the exhaust for now. custom air box in its making together with snorkel. gone up some on the tires in dia and it has served me well. Geolanders do work even on ice :P Yeti is an magnificent little car. Capable of more than meets the eye
Not used the Geolandar in the snow yet, they were decent on Mud. Ripped a sidewall though. The Yeti is a beast
@@DarksideDevelopments Up to 25cm of power snow has been a blast :D melted away, so why I've tested on ice :P
Awesome, that.
i love the skoda yeti, One gets really suprise how good that car is. its not the nicest car to look at but damn its a practical car and with the big diesel engine (170hp) its fun to drive to
He guys...this yeti is so sick...so want one now. Can u do a dacia duster next...extreme overlander....
Subscribed cos of this one build.
Amazing yeti guys...sweet as...
Peace.
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Super 👌.
I want one like that!! 😁
Car Wow £175000 G Wagon which I have always loved but on road tyres vs your Yeti for £2000 with tweaks.
Yeti sounds and looks amazing and did shit hot.
I wish I lived closer to you so I could get my 120000 miles Amarok in for some work.
Well done guys good channel and quality craftsmanship. 👏
Preciosa transformación 👏👏👏
Amazing work on the Yeti! 🖤 Please let me know where you got the spare wheel mount from so I can attach one to my Yeti - looking to convert mine so need all the interior space I can get. Currently thinking of placing my spare wheel in my roof rack for now 🥲 keep up the great content!x
It was a custom wheel carrier that attached to our receiver hitch. If you drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelpments.co.uk with reg/vin we might be able to help out with it
謝謝分享！
Big mistake by Skoda when they ceased Yeti production...wonderful all round vehicle ....love mine..!!.
Any vehicle can be a great off-road if you don't care at all
It loves it.
Now I also want one😮💨
New Year, New Car ;)
Next video with a Citigo please 🙏
@DarksideDevelopments, I know you've created a specs page for this Yeti - one thing missing is the offset of the steel wheels you put on. Are they ET50? ET45? Or something else? Love the car. It's inspired me to do something similar with our Yeti soon.
They are just VW steels, not 100% sure but think they are closer to ET45
epic vid guys, subbed!
btw a question; what would you say are some good, affordable European offload vehicles? (panda 4x4 and lada niva? lol)
Thanks for subscribing!
Depends on budget really, Yeti's can be picked up cheap and as you have seen, work well off road. A Niva would probably be a good laugh
@@DarksideDevelopments yeti 4x4 is far from being cheap (well maybe there are in germany, but here in southern parts of europe sure arent), i can get jimny that has better off road capabilities for far less (not road friendly, nor wallet through high consumption), and pandas are available too, but given the price, yeti is far better option.
Just needs a bull bar at the front 😜
Brilliant! Full send at the end!
Done some epic off roading in mine standard. Just all season tyres. Good job with the fit out
Did all the air bags go off??
Thanks! We made sure the airbags were turned off a long time ago 😂
Nice job!!!!
Did you have to extend the drive shafts when you did the lift? Or fit longer ones from another vehicle? Would bigger springs and shocks from another vehicle achieve the same lift? If so, any idea what would be a suitable donor? Would love to do this with mine!!!!!
No standard shafts should work perfectly with it! Possibly but might not be as straight forward as the lift kit. Drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with reg/vin and we can help you out with lift kit's etc on there
Any plans to modify the gearbox; maybe reduce the ratios for 1st & 2nd and/or the final drive? Also, would it be worth changing the haldex to be manually selectable rather than waiting for loss of traction to engage it?
We need to do something but will require custom parts. It already has a fancy Haldex but it's not wired in correctly yet so works like stock.
This is so cool, i love it. Congrats on the build and the video. Got me inspired for sure!
I've been looking for this kind of build for some time. I'm saving money for my first car and my options are the Yeti, Grand Vitara 2 and Outlander 2. I want it to be able to drive ok on road at highway speed but be able to get through some tricky tracks to reach a trail head, go fishing and overlanding, no hardcore offroading in seas of mud and impossible climbs. All 3 seem pretty fit for the job. What do you think about this?
We will always recommend a Yeti! We just bought one for our Disabled uncle to keep him going whatever the terrain!
Cracking build this one. Will she be getting any more lift?
Maybe!
@@DarksideDevelopments Waiting for this. Mine is lifted 3cm
i have yeti in czech and do all mountain easy :)with min mod.
damn fine project, looks quite capable off the beaten roads. how did you manage to get mods homologations? because i konw i'd have to kill few people to get mods like this "street" legal here in Slovenia .... 4 motion, right?
Laws must not be as strict over here. Everything we've done to it is road legal so
@@DarksideDevelopments lucky bastards ;) . yeah, must be, because i cant put one size bigger tires on my jimny, and god forbid if i'd try to put aftermarket (proper parts not some ricer stuff) brakes on my car. buddy did, but had to drag the company that issues permits to the court just to prove his point...
Do you guys do also customer cars? Something like a Volvo XC70 (2004)?
We do customer cars, but only vag/bmw/mini/porsche platforms
@@DarksideDevelopments fair enough and thank you for the quick answer :) appreciate that
How easy is the egr delete, diy job? On 2.0 Dsg 2011……nice work guys.
The DPF needs to come off to do it but you need to hollow it out if you take the EGR off anyhow. If it's 4x4 you need a ramp really. Otherwise, get the car high or you won't get the pipe out.
Which spray can was used on the rims? And on the car?
We used Raptor paint on the wheels and body
Good afternoon. what is the size of the wheels? and what did the lift do and than thanks

Whats the name of the song “life goes up and it goes down”, by who is it???? !!
It's "Life up and down" by Ruzer on Epidemic Sounds
Everything great.
The factory color looked very nice.
Black, matte color spray painted looks terrible.
You are the only one to prefer the factory paint.
@@DarksideDevelopments He's not. I understand the choice for the matt black, but I think it looks nasty.
only one so far then, haha
What was the ground clearance on the modified Yeti?
Had a 30mm lift kit on it. Front approach angle was around 30 degrees and rear was around 40 degrees
how did you deal with the xenon leveling sensor when lifting the suspension
Just make the rod longer, we supply the parts :)
@@DarksideDevelopments thx for info. i did all parts by my self. working on cnc. i can do this rod as well. love your work. I do with my skoda same thing. how big tires and felg you have on yours. and do the spacers fix issue with rubbing. i have 17" and 65 tire profil and its rubbing all arround.
Nice build, but exhaust directly in front of a tent? I would want to sleep there :D
That's not the exhaust, that's the intake
@@DarksideDevelopments ooooooooops, I'm a noob, sorry :)))) Now I understand. Thank you for great video :)
hallo, what dimension have the insa tires?
215/65R16
@@DarksideDevelopments dankeschöööön :-)
Bought one for my daughter second hand a few years ago. Great economical car and very versatile. Unfortunately Skoda shafted us in Australia by removing the 4 x4 capability without changing the badge. Only found out it was AWD when I saw no hill descent button on the dash. A call to Skoda Australia confirmed that it is not a 4 x 4 in Australia, rather the AWD version with a 4 x 4 badge. As I wanted some offroad capability, I wouldn't have bought it had I known this. Lots of our tracks are very sandy (beaches) and if you don't have a selectable 4x4, you are bottomed out before the AWD senses loss of traction and kicks in. Ground clearance is not great, even modified. I would want full length bash plates before attempting anything like this. Incidentally that last jump had me terrified when the rear wheel carrier swung out. Lucky no one was filming from side of track, and the car veered left.
These all left the factory with Haldex AWD system so the car you have is the same as the one in the video's. No-one was filming there because we are not silly!
@@DarksideDevelopments Her car has no "off road" button in the dash despite being badged as 4 x 4. Not sure what that means in the context of the system then. Any ideas? I didn't word my concerns about the spare swinging out very well, point taken.
I dont think all of them had the off-road package so to speak.
@@DarksideDevelopments exactly. You can have AWD on demand with the Haldex system without the off road "package" which included "the button". Never used my button on the beach the few time I went up them here in QLD, and AWD worked great. That said the Yeti is not a true 4x4, and if you need a true lock-able 4x4 buy something dedicated.
Is it for sale 🤔
No it was raffled. Winner took it a couple of weeks ago
What engine in it ?...
2.0 common rail CBDB
How much for a set of the time that are on the yeti
Tires?
@@DarksideDevelopments no the steelies with the laser cut plates
Drop us an email
Skoda really missed a trick when they dropped the Yeti . I think they should have gone all out improving what they had instead of making that horrible generic Karoq
thing is the bland Karoq and its like is selling far better, in Australia anyway. Still love my 2014 Yeti.
@@gregroles69 Same here , but with the London ULEZ charge coming soon mine may sadly have to go .
The Yeti won't last long.. It is not strong enough for that sort of treatment..
Well we've been giving it hell over the past year and not a lot has broken on it
How much, roughly, did it all cost to turn a YETI into a fuckin Sasquatch!?!
Roughly!
Not that much really. We've got a spec list of all the parts we have on it here - www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/skoda-yeti-4x4-cbdb-2-0-16v-cr/
@@DarksideDevelopments thx so much
Who is here after seeing Carwow video?
Don’t they use a pos CVT
Nope
@@DarksideDevelopments well there you go, always avoided them due to thinking they had a CVT. Thanks for the info 👍
Manual or DSG. Good cars
@@DarksideDevelopments 2.5FSI conversion 🤣🤣
That is certainly not overlanding , more like bad landing . I am surprise that skoda still runs.
It loves it
I wouldn’t call it overlander… weekend offroader maybe. Good for fun for someone but for real overlanding unusable. Snorkle will get damaged after first meeting with wild animal or heavier branch, and spare wheel carrier will fall after couple hundreds kms of rough roads… good skills and effort but i would rather use them for building something usable
Luckily we've not met any wild animals yet and it's done plenty of miles on rough roads and the only time the wheel carrier broke was wen't it was fully sent up the hill...It is entirely usable
New Defender copied this car
It's a shame the VW overlords replaced the awesome Yeti with the karoq, just another soulless crossover more.
hmmm whats a point to do this all tuning when your skoda has haldex ? idk
To make it a fully capable off roader, plenty of ground clearance, ability to go through water without dying plus it looks mint!
