  • Day 1: Travel from PA to Southern WV to ride the Ivy Branch Trail System
    Day 2: Ride the Bearwallow Trail System
    Day 3: Ride the Bearwallow Trail System again (Its pretty big)
    Day 4: Travel to a small location outside of Fayetteville and hike the Long Point Trail (Beautiful view of the new river gorge bridge)
    Day 5: Travel to Summersville lake for kayaking, this lake is very clean and has beautiful features to explore.
    Check out my other videos to see how this rail buggy was built.

    I sometimes go exploring in my dune buggy with my 9 1/2ft Kayak on the roof. Gives me some shade and extra storage space. Love what you have done with the buggy.

      I would love to get a VW sandrail and load my 16ft sea kayak on the roof.
      I thought I was the only one who would have done something like this.

    "Out of control"? No way my friend. After about 4 years of 4x4ing ...shit happens on the trails we all have to deal with. Part of the fun. You did well. My 70' rail project has now kicked into gear! And I thank you. Wish there was a group of us rail guys, like my 4x4 buddies.

    Bought a 67 vw sand rail buggy today, watched all your videos about the build (3:25 AM here lol) love your project and your attitude, like you drove it with your girl!! Planning to do the same!!

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome to hear. Hope you have fun fixing yours up and getting it out on the trails. If you need any help with it let me know!

    This was a great series! I watched the whole thing. There were some major fabrication skills on display in this project. You gave me ideas on what you can do with a play buggy I didn't have before. As regards that smoking trailer tire: Always carry spares on the roof and, that's what that turning brake is for - to lock up the spinning wheel so the other one gets traction.

    Very cool trail. I've got a buggy in California. Would be great to go here sometime. Maybe when it's not quite so wet. LOL.

    Mine has a 1641 dp with a Engle 110 cam. Pertronics 009. 1.2 ratio rockers. I rev the poop out of it. Been wanting to go on that trip for a while. I’m subbed!

    Back in the day guys would put front on back and ride with 3 wheels, the vw torsion front allows you to run 3 tires if you need to get out of woods. Its easy to carry tubes and irons too.

    Wow that trailer tire screwed you on that hill… I feel like with both knobbies, you would have been right up that.

    I’ve heard about these trails, it’s good to get to see them in your video.
    Your videos are very well edited, but still youtube algorithm still doesn’t bestow you with subscribers.

    I've seen a few videos of the Hatfield McCoy system. In general, it looks like great place to ride! Looks like you had your fair share of mud. Awesome first trip after the build!
    2 questions about future plans:
    Going to carry a spare?
    Going to sleeve those tie rods?
    Wish I lived closer to ride those areas too!

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You are reading my mind. Certainly sleeving the tierods, and maybe making the steering ratio more exciting too. Big tire upgrades in the future. Thanks for watching!

    You need a vice mounted on the trailer or bumper

      Mine is “link pin” which I believe was used on 65 and older beetles. Newer than that looks similar but uses balljoints and 4 lug hubs

    Had no idea you could take rails there. What about a Baja bug?

    • @spankranchgarage
      @spankranchgarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Absolutely! Theres 3 trail systems there that allow "full size" things where your baja would be perfect
