cool vid. i am building a manx style buggy off a '58 volkswagen pan. you did some sweeet jumps. how did you make that thing do so good in the sand?

[dunelimo]

It's a LWB with a 3'' lift kit--weekend worrior type front end with stock arms, 9'' of traval and 2'' droped spindles

Rear box arm's with twin shocks and 26 mm SAW torsions 10-1/2'' traval --KYB gas shocks all round--bus 1600 box and a 2'1 type IV engine--6 lb tire pressure--tire pressure is a BIG thing on sand

See you at DSB

[dunelimo]

Its a VW type IV 2'1 engine with twin dell's and a mild cam

wow it's not like glamis overcrowded strippers on the back of pickups.... but there is a bunch of room in glamis and it's still awsome

[dunelimo]

If you have to many of those strippers in the back of pickups send them over-----we will take them---would love to get to Glamis one day and rip some of those dunes
