Pretty sure most of us dudes wish we had a Dad like him to help and want to build a UNIT like that!!!
And THAT episode is why TERRA is the producer with heart and soul. The absolute roots of the hobby/sport/lifestyle. All the family lined up off camera, so cool. Hats off guys and cheers to father and son for a fun build. Run the wheels off of it!
Love the Baja bugs!!!!! Get some more on here!
I'm so glad I live in a state where the question "is it street legal?" Never crosses my mind.
Is it florida?
Nope, nebraska.
@@azzz..6 cornfields, and freedom.
Need to be there... Oregon was like that when I was young.. 90s
I don't know, there are very good reasons why you have to have your mud guards cover your wheels
I've been an off-road Guy My whole Life.. Born in 90.. my first car was a 76 bug that we cut down to a Baja! This channel knows whats up! I'm forever subscribed:) keep spreading the knowledge and love for the Old school Volkswagen beetle:)
Cool bug. I love self-built projects, especially father and son.
Awesome little Bug. Looks like a ton of fun. Low powered vehicles are a blast. You can just run at full power all the time.
Heck yeah the ae86 of offroad!
What an awesome build. NOW SEND IT.....
BUGPACK!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god, had that stuff all over my BajaBug in the late 70’s.
Awesome build but better father and son bond. 👍
Blessed is the son, who has a father's hobby like this
Dad had a baja bug , it was awesome 👌 it did not have the wide stance like that one. But i rember it in mid '80. Nice build!!!
ive been looking for designs that are street legal and so far this is the coolest
Sweet bug !!! I am not sure but I’d stash the fire extinguisher in front of the front seats . I could see an engine fire & you’d be bummed to not get to your extinguisher safely or at all . We have all heard of bugs catching on fire .
My thoughts exactly.
That is the only thing that stood out as something that I would try to change.
What a awesome little car! A truly great father and son project!
For all the safety improvements that they did on the bug I would assume that they have one on the front as well.
Hell yeah! Always stoked to see these guys 🙌
Thanks for sharing I am building one currently, more coverage on this channel would be great!
Pacing back and forth wating for my check in the mail so I can get my super beetle 😬😅
Nice simple build, I love it.
Haha James learning buggy dork lingo!!! Nice!
Just met Dylan on a trip to New York, enjoyed chatting and wish him the best of luck
Love the fact he's walking around barefoot. Lol
My Dad was a "mechanic by mind" is what he used to say. He never trained professionally and taught himself everything about cars which flowed down to my brother and I. I can fix cars when they break and build cars.
Great interview...lets see some drive time play.
Yoooo paps is bare footing it too 😂
Looks rad🤙
this thing looks way better before since 2018 my father allen frye bought this thing for only 1600$ and you guys did awesome on this thing
More bugs!
Like the exhaust sound,can’t beat that..
Awesome video , and Awesome bajan bug!!! Don't know why they wanna go with a watercooler engine though ? Just looking at their engine setup , I could change three things on what they're running and make alot more power , and still be air cooled , and then no worries ever of losing a radiator while out tearing it up in the desert . The engine builder at Claudes Buggies in Farmersville Ca , 5 years ago was pulling 250 hp out of a naturally aspirated type 1 , so that being said , there's no reason to go watercooled . You want more horsepower throw a turbo kit on it , andd then you still have a true Blue VW baja bug 👍There is a reason that the VW's were designed as an air cooled engine , because they don't have to depend on a radiator cooling system to run . But to each their own 👍They certainly have done a great job on putting that one together!!! Makes me miss my baja bug 😔 Grreat video 👍👍
BAD ASS MAN I WANT TO BUILD ONE
very cool 👍👍👍
Awsome build, makes me wanna build me a baja
Awsome rig . Having had one of my cars catch on fire I would definitely suggest much bigger fire extinguishers plural. I had one about that size and it didn’t do shit and I lost the car. Get at least 3, 1 in the back and 1 on either side of the seats. Get them regular services as well
Nice!!! But it runs? When are we going to see it sending it ? 👍👍
Brilliant.. Luv n best wishes from India
LOL at the fuel level sending unit! HAAA True story!
I was ever going to build a baha that's how I would build it but yes definitely a Honda Motor in the back
VW the Germans know how to make engines last. Air cooled is the best thing for in a desert environment. Water cooled is only more issues more breakdowns over cooling systyms. You can build up several hundred HP or more with turbo and engine work. Air cooled is beautiful.
That's one bad-ass bug
Baja baby 🤙
Awesome Build. May have CA registration but not "Street Legal". He can get pulled over for the open wheels. Hope not, and have some CRAZY FUN!!!
the black and orange truck across the street👀
Nice ...
This is what fathers and sons were meant to do.
Love the car guys good job🤙🤙🤙 where did you get the rear window scoops from ???
Yep, purchased a rail from an old friend of mine,most of it was assembled bwith no grade hardware store bolts,4years later it's safe
Gotta watch this later... my son and I would LOVE to build a Baja bug together and we have talked about it for a few years. Unfortunately we don't have room and no way to tow it since I already tow a 32ft travel trailer with family of 5. And we already have my dads 66 vette (my son inherited) taking the extra spot in the garage.
Car guy problems...
Sounds like excuses bud
Get on it before it’s to late!
@@Darwindiggler I agree man... i really need to find room and convince my wife!
More bug stuff 🤘🏻🇺🇸
Love Rancho Transmission
Narley build men 🤟
What good is a baja bug if not street legal?
It might as well be a sandrail or quad.
😎
K swap it...rad bug👏🏻
That thing is nice. They should go Type IV or a 911 motor.
Good shop for fab work like this? trying to get my bug into a tube frame and arms like this
Where do you live and how much do you want to spend vs willing to learn to do yourself?
You guys need to do a turbo diesel swap like a mk3 mk4 TDI... or maybe a vw 1.8t mk4 engine
NOOOOOO, dude you need to stay with VW powered. Its so classic& You can get so much power out, just do a lil research
What’s good 🇺🇸
Wish my dad was cool
Needs a built ford 2.3
Do a rustlab build to destroy video😎
I wanna see one of these with a turbo k24
In Europe they have a 2.0 deisel Subaru 🤔
I like the father/son builds but can we see one that was actually made and not just updated by father/son? I want to see them giving each other dirty looks cause they were butting heads even though it brought them closer together.
Subaru boxer motor swap. Check out the swap the mighty car mods guys did.
anyone else curious why every car on the street is not a normal car at all
the 4runner has a straight axle😰
Can you get the remote air filters for dual carb set ups?
Yes kartek sells everything for a dual carb to a UMP filter. Call kartek and ask for Jeff
@@bigandlittlecountry thank you this is a big help!
will you run in baja?
Is it disrespectful to hart in those shorts
💨 🇺🇸 🤣
What's up with the tacoma in the back thoooo
What’s with VW guys and not wearing shoes?
Cali lyfe...
😹
Put a subi wrx in it. Easy swap
How you not even have them start or drive it?
The real question is whos tundra is in the back 👀
You will see soon enough!
@@bigandlittlecountry Or that white solid front axle toyota
Yes that too ;)
@@Dbigpinoy yeah. The solid axle swap 4Runner needs a bio.
Those wide front tires are stupid on a Baja
Nice but they failed to crank the engine
does it weely
its a shame the vw beetle is such an ugly car. baja bugs would be way cooler if they weren't based on them.
Ummm...hello? The fire extinguisher should be within reach of the driver while strapped in. NOT RIGHT ON TOP OF THE DAMN FIRE. Holy shit. People don't think a damn thing through these days. No wonder California votes Democrat.
First to view and comment!
Send me some gear!
Nobody cares, it’s not important
Explain the vehicles more you barely went threw it and you do that with all the vehicles and make the videos longer
