  • Its been a mad rush to get this thing ready but we finally got it done! Parts availability was a big problem this time around. I didnt want to make front wheels from scratch but it was my only option to be ready on time. To West Virginia we go!

    The tires at the end are so much better for that kind of terrain. Nice looking buggy.

    should weld tabs on the frame so the skid plate could be bolted on.

    Shades of half-life 2. Half expected a combine gunship to appear.

    I’d love to be able to rebuild one of these with a 5.3LS.

      Do you know if 33s will clear the rear torsion bars

    Awesome buggy! Looks like you need an enclosure for that switch cluster. If only you knew someone with a 3D printer.... :D

    Seems to me it would have been much easier to just pick up a different set of VW wheels. Those things are evry where. But, good job on the custom wheels

    Wow! You're so good at doing stuff! Where did you learn all these skills? I mean I take stuff apart and put stuff together but you know exactly what you're doing! I want a buggy like yours. Those wheels are badass!

    What kind of mount setup do you use for the video? What it is, it keeps it pretty smooth and looks cool as you're rippin up the trail.

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  9 місяців тому

      Its actually just a simple stick on gopro mount. All the smoothing is through the Hero 7 and editing software. It works really well

    I have found that type of muffler will kill the top end,and keep building heat in engines. Too restrictive

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  2 роки тому +1

      Interesting. I will test that on the dyno and make a video about it. Thanks for the comment

  • @nathanthreeleaf4534
    @nathanthreeleaf4534 9 місяців тому

    I'm curious what you ended up having to do on the trail to get it running again AND, in general, what you believe the problem was? You said you swapped out a gasket, was this to prevent stuff from ending up in the bowl and was that debris the issue?

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  9 місяців тому

      I found various problems with this. The distributer cap was slightly dislodged. The coil had a questionable connection. The carb was always getting debris in it despite having 2 fuel filters up stream. I had to make a bowl gasket from scratch because the old one was torn up and I couldnt get a replacement in time.

    Gotta play with your audio bud. Buggy is loud as balls so turn it down cause the little one is sleeping. Then I can't hear you so I gotta turn it up. Haha
