    I sometimes go exploring in my dune buggy with my 9 1/2ft Kayak on the roof. Gives me some shade and extra storage space. Love what you have done with the buggy.

      I would love to get a VW sandrail and load my 16ft sea kayak on the roof.
      I thought I was the only one who would have done something like this.

    Very cool trail. I've got a buggy in California. Would be great to go here sometime. Maybe when it's not quite so wet. LOL.

    This was a great series! I watched the whole thing. There were some major fabrication skills on display in this project. You gave me ideas on what you can do with a play buggy I didn't have before. As regards that smoking trailer tire: Always carry spares on the roof and, that's what that turning brake is for - to lock up the spinning wheel so the other one gets traction.

    "Out of control"? No way my friend. After about 4 years of 4x4ing ...shit happens on the trails we all have to deal with. Part of the fun. You did well. My 70' rail project has now kicked into gear! And I thank you. Wish there was a group of us rail guys, like my 4x4 buddies.

    Back in the day guys would put front on back and ride with 3 wheels, the vw torsion front allows you to run 3 tires if you need to get out of woods. Its easy to carry tubes and irons too.

    I've seen a few videos of the Hatfield McCoy system. In general, it looks like great place to ride! Looks like you had your fair share of mud. Awesome first trip after the build!
    2 questions about future plans:
    Going to carry a spare?
    Going to sleeve those tie rods?
    Wish I lived closer to ride those areas too!

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  3 роки тому +2

      You are reading my mind. Certainly sleeving the tierods, and maybe making the steering ratio more exciting too. Big tire upgrades in the future. Thanks for watching!

    I’ve heard about these trails, it’s good to get to see them in your video.
    Your videos are very well edited, but still youtube algorithm still doesn’t bestow you with subscribers.

      Absolutely! Theres 3 trail systems there that allow "full size" things where your baja would be perfect

      Mine is “link pin” which I believe was used on 65 and older beetles. Newer than that looks similar but uses balljoints and 4 lug hubs

      They are 28" on a 15" wheel. They were stock tires off a honda talon if I remember right. Im in the process of moving to 14" SXS wheels and using 30x10x14" tires

    It is difficult when you go alone, get some friends who have a buggy so that you do not go alone
