I grew up on Bajas and Manx Buggies. At age 53 I still own a very nice rail buggy set up for the desert, disk brakes, power steering, built engine, etc. Bug powered off road vehicles are easy and affordable to maintain and lots of fun.
Awesome video. Would love to see some good video of each of your friends bajas. I see some good ideas. Maybe go over whats been done to them? They look good.
Great Video! Looks like a great day out in the Bajas, great trails, super scenery, and good times for all. Including us watching. Love that white one, I think you know why. Thanks for Taking Us with you, keep VeeDub’n. BigW:-)
bout gave me a heart attack with that opening scene lol wow it looks so much crazier in the dash cam, i thought you were going to the moon with that launch! just needed a lil tug. the wheel of trails, thats pretty cool.
It was everything we wished it would be on camera. Joe's back was sore for days from it, but I think it's well worth it 😉 and finding that was cool! I like that it had a basket of tools/parts in it in case anyone broke down. I believe the phone also had a dial connection to call soneone, but I didn't check
I've wanted a vw bug since I was a little kid! My dad has had a couple of 'em (he has a 1970 sunroof sedan right now). I'm gonna get me one eventually it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Y'all look like you're having a ton of fun!
Ashlynn has always wanted a sunroof bug 😍 lucky duck! And good luck finding your first bug, let us know if you have any questions on what to look for when buying, etc. And we are having a blast 😉 always do with the DB
@@dustbuggy Right on! Yeah I've heard they're sort of rare but i hope y'all find one eventually. My dream car though would either be a Split screen Westy bus or a Ghia. Vw's for life! (oh and I subbed too :))
Good video. My first car I bought was a bug. Got another one now that I'm gonna make off-road with axial electric A/C motors. One per wheel, making it AWD. Batteries and controllers where engine and transmission originally goes. Tube chassis with long travel suspension. Rear suspension outside bug keeping it a 4 seater
New to the channel keep awesome videos coming I own a rail an just started a new project turning a super into a Baja an can’t wait till it’s done Awesome bugs y’all have
That's awesome man rails are pretty wicked, Spence keeps showing ash ones on craigslist hoping for a nibble but we dont have the space right now 🤣 gotta finish the projects we have! Good luck with your super baja and have fun on the rail! Thanks for the support, we appreciate it 😁
When I got into Baja bugs all the videos besides the Baja 1000 were people driving their bugs like a 4x4. They'd approach a tiny hill very slow and analyze it and then lightly step on the gas and everyone would comment on how incapable they were compared to a 4x4 when in reality if you drive right they're more capable off road. My bug consistently surpassed everything else on the trail and it was nothing but lifted with truck tires lol momentum is your friend in a bug
Very true! We actually went offroading with a 4x4 and our white baja bug buddy and us two were flying everywhere and had to stop and wait for him to follow haha
It always takes me much longer to watch your videos than the actual run time, because I find myself rewinding to watch many of the actions scenes over and over. I had to rewind many times with this one. Great Video, I especially liked the jumps that your group got out of that little dirt ramp! I was wondering if Dust Buggy or anyone from the group is using anything other than stock VW tie rod ends? My area is rockier than what I have seen in most of your videos and seem to take a toll on the tie rod ends. I went through my 1965 cut and turned (instead of adjusters) link pin front end a while back. replacing the steering gear box and added gusseted spindle carriers. The tie rods are also reinforced with tubing welded to the outside diameter. Everything is tight and well adjusted, but seems the that the tie rod ends ( one and a half years old ) may be the weak point for now. They haven't failed, they just seem a little more worn than I would like them to be. There is suppose to be a way to use a certain Ford tie rod end, but that is all I know. Just curious?
We have never upgraded the tie rod ends, and have not heard of using ford ones. But if you can't find info about that, you could try to find moog brand ones, if they make them. They typically make factory and heavy duty style parts, so they may have something that will help
thats a great video, been driving bugs and building bajas for years, so long that we used to cut ovals and earlies all the time to make bajas.....where are you guys exploring in this vid ?
@@dustbuggy right on, the wife and I stay in Santa Clarita when visiting Universal, might do some exploring next time were out there !! Thanx for the great vids ! brings back soooo many great memories of my youth and baja-ing around with my buddies ....back when I still hair .....lol

For sure! I'll see if they wanna talk about their rigs and what they have done to them and get it in a video 👍 thanks for the suggestion!
love baja bugs the very first street legal ATV'S to have :-)
Hell yeah! I never get over the feeling of being able to go directly from the dirt to the street 🤘
@@dustbuggy 100% right on that :-)
Great episode guys, I really enjoy your series
That's AWESOME, we will keep them going 😉

Its really a good project keep it up guys.

Holy shit man. That's epic af 🤘
New to the channel keep awesome videos coming I own a rail an just started a new project turning a super into a Baja an can’t wait till it’s done
Awesome bugs y’all have
That's awesome man rails are pretty wicked, Spence keeps showing ash ones on craigslist hoping for a nibble but we dont have the space right now 🤣 gotta finish the projects we have!
Good luck with your super baja and have fun on the rail! Thanks for the support, we appreciate it 😁
What size tires are most of y’all running?
On ours we have 31s in the rear and 30s in the front. The 31s rub on the body lol 30 is probably as high as you want to go
The air-cooled boxer engine sounds extremely good.
Baja's RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heck yeah they do! Especially with some good friends to go out with 😁👍
I have really learned how to mantain vintage VWs, let me work on mine i will update you guys thanks.
Awesome Channel man!! Just subscribed very cool stuff!!

In fact, here's the video us terrorizing the 4 by! 😁👍 ruclips.net/video/lXY1BNexylw/видео.html
Makes me want a Baja again so bad! I may have to many projects already! Lol
That's how we feel sometimes 😂

Exploring the hills around Santa Clarita, CA. Found a few trails by going up San Francisquito canyon road and it was beautiful 😁👍
@@dustbuggy right on, the wife and I stay in Santa Clarita when visiting Universal, might do some exploring next time were out there !! Thanx for the great vids ! brings back soooo many great memories of my youth and baja-ing around with my buddies ....back when I still hair .....lol
awesome
👍
I can't think of a better way to celebrate!!! Take 'er out for a rip bud!!
Hell yeah! She rode like a dream ❤ can't ask for a better day on the trail 👌
I have a 71 SB, really want to lift it. But how’s the lifted ride? Stiffer?
We dont have much of a lift, just bigger tires and rally springs. She rides great though 👌
@@dustbuggy Oh i thought the rally springs gave a stiff ride. Good to know, I' consider them. BTW, where are u guys located?
