With the arrival of the national six emission policy, a large number of parallel imported hard-core off-road vehicles can not be licensed, or will become history. When the off-road vehicle fans were deeply disappointed, the heavy-duty tank 300 developed by our own brand finally came to our side. Coupled with the rapid rise of the self-driving travel market, under the influence of many factors, this "phenomenon-level" explosive new car has made the hard-core off-road segment that was originally not highly concerned unprecedentedly hot. Just like people are afraid of being famous, too hot tanks have been pushed to the forefront again because of the "broken shaft" incident. Is it the product quality problem or the failure caused by unreasonable modification? How to choose the modified parts suitable for the tank 300?
After the listing of Tank 300, several "broken shaft" incidents that broke out on social media quickly fermented, causing widespread concern. WEY manufacturers also responded quickly, and after investigation, it was announced that one of the incidents was caused by the owner’s "tug-of-war challenge", which led to the fracture of the front output shaft of the transfer case; Another incident was due to the vehicle’s 2-inch shock absorber lifting and 1-inch tire diameter increasing, and the universal joint of the transmission axle ball cage exceeded the designed maximum working angle, which led to the damage of the ball cage under the extreme working conditions.
Consumers can basically agree with the conclusion of the official announcement: the owner has carried out improper operation or excessive modification, coupled with high-intensity working conditions, resulting in the damage of vehicle structural parts. However, from another dimension, why do other brands of off-road vehicles on the market have undergone similar upgrading and modification, and also participated in the "tug-of-war challenge", and did not frequently expose negative information? On the one hand, as a "traffic star", Tank 300 has its own "magnifying glass" function, and its negative information is highly concerned. On the other hand, it is undeniable that the redundancy of tank 300 in the structural strength design of parts is not enough, so it is not suitable for high-intensity operation and heavy modification. Some off-road vehicles, represented by Toyota, have designed the structural strength far beyond the normal use requirements, which has created all kinds of reliable and durable myths. Of course, all these are positively related to the cost and price.
So how to reasonably modify and upgrade the tank 300 according to its own use requirements? I divided users with different needs into four groups, collected most of the modified parts currently produced for tank 300 on the whole platform, and made this modification guide.

Under the epidemic of tourism, if you buy Tank 300 to meet the needs of self-driving travel, I suggest some practical upgrades within the scope of traffic regulations. Legitimacy is particularly important, after all, no one wants to get into unnecessary trouble in the original pleasant journey.
