I know budman382 is wanting to get into one. I'm sure he will dig this thread.
Didn't do a bug but built a Thing. Here's some pics and some of BrianB's 2 cars too... Just play cars nothing too serious suspension wise but still fun.
ive been working on this 58' oval window for a couple years. all i have left to do is wire it and plumb the breaks. is has an 1835 that runs at 80 psi oil pressure, short ratio beefed up bus trans, 934 cvs. 4 wheel disk wildwood breaks. woods spindels. 3x5 arms in the back, +4's in the front and 8 inch wider beam extended 4 or 6 inches i forget. all internal cage. bypasses and 3.0s in back. should be fun
I've always been into bugs and I'd really like to build up a Class 5 car... Not to race so much as to just have a fun desert toy. I figured there might be some inmates that are into these little cars... Let's see um!
Something like this is what I'm thinking :thumbsup

all said it measured out to 21 inches of travel on all four sides
God, please tell me you weren't the one who cut up an oval window!!!!!!!!!! there are places for people who do that!

You guys are killing me here. If my back wasn't trashed I would probably be in one of these things...up to my ears.
I think of all the cash dumped into the side by side deal and then think about how cool a baja I could have...
The only thing that I can see as a downfall is no 4x4 and the physical size of the thing trying to get into tight trails or even the trailer.
But this still goes through my mind...all the time.
The tricked out Things are way cool, too. Never thought of that.
For sure. I've always dug the look of the Baja bug and the versatility of it. you can drive it off road on the street in the dunes or the liquor store. Some day I'll get rid of my rhino for one but until then the rhino will have to do
I would think a Baja Bug would be a lot more fun to drive than a SXS.

I just picked this one up. It's built like a brick shit house. FAT performance 1915 with UMP air filter connected to dual 44 Webers, beefed up bus tranny, 3x3 rear, Fox w/remote bypass, front pushed out 6" and widened 3", Cal plated, 4 wheel Wilwood disc, bead locks, full cage, radio, headsets, Jaz fuel cell, Mastercraft seats with Cal DOT DJ 5 points, etc... It's a runner, it's fresh and should be a great car. No expense was spared.
