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

Good stuff man!!!

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

Love how your a hack sometimes. It's real world brother

Loving this series! Can’t wait for next installment. I have a similar project I’m tackling currently

That was pretty impressive building the wheels

Way late here but idle jet is easy to clog. I run a large idle jet and make sure choke adjustment is turned down on my 34. Idle cut off has to be powered, seemed OK.

You put so much love into this buggy. Great video and your new camera is really changing the game 👍🏻

Nice old strip mine, Where is that??? Awesome overlook at 1st stop !!! I live in SW tip of Indiana, we have some old strip mines here. In the past the game warden would not go on old mine property. Now all have fences, gates, and purple trees. Most are happy hunting grounds for the rich. We have one close that is run by the state called interlake with all the death high-walls knocked down.

Im from south eastern PA, there was a lot of mining here. The mining has really tapered off so there are miles and miles of strip mines that we ride in. Like most things, they are always cracking down and closing spots off making it harder to find good riding spots. They are also starting to re-claim a lot of these tailings and something is going on with the EPA. Either way, it makes some great riding terrain. I didnt know there was coal seams in Indiana but it makes sense with it being in ohio, kentucky as well. Thanks for watching!

@@spankranchgarage The strip pits here are really old, they left the land ripped up and just seeded from the air, maybe in the 50s or 60s. We have current strip and undergrounds mines here. Here is what ours look like from my near stock woodsbuggy. Thanks for the interesting info and your time. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoJ-tdOSZ9mzqM4.html

Definitely need more videos of this rail 👍🏻

Yo this thing is sick

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

How did I just find your videos, lol. You treat that buggy like I do mine. Fucking send it. If it’s gonna break, it’s gonna break. Love tha videos

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

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

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

It's been like 5 years and I still haven't been able to ride my dune buggy...smh. hahaha...Your dune looks similar to mine. It even has a dent on the same size on a similar gas tank

Cool video. Let us know how your trip goes….

Fellow FRO rider I see. I’m picking up a green sandrail today maybe I’ll see you up in the coal country!

badass buggy let's rip I added a video of our buggies

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.

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 read an article that keeping your commentary about -10 dB is good. Seems to work for me.

Im trying some new things to balance it out. Check the next episode it should be better

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

11 ай бұрын

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.

You should see my rims mine have a bunch of folds

Put tube in all of your tires

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!

Put a delordo carb on it
