Haha I know right?? I just thought it would be fun to make a comparison, especially in an area that the bugs definitely had more room for fun 😂 had it been muddy this while video would have been different!
Isn't that true?? Haha they are two different beasts. Had it been muddy I'm sure we would have been begging him for a pull 😉😂 we were just skinny enough to not really worry about the ditches, he was not so lucky!
Thank you for this video. I’m trying to convince my dad to let me get a VW Beetle as my first car and his argument against it is that they have no off road capabilities. Hopefully these Baja Beetles will do the trick!
All a bug needs to do great is ground clearance. I've lifted mine for $300 in lift spindles and even better with some larger tires. I've a habit of driving around trucks who are taking forever calculating how to tackle the next obstacle. Anything but rock crawling I would take a bug over anything else
I'm getting ready go on a baja ride at five today, just waiting for it to cool down a bit. I'm going to try out some trails that I haven't been on before. After this video I'm hoping that they're pretty washed out as well. I should get a camera to bring along. It's fun to watch your off-road areas! The Dust Buggy and Joe's Baja were really moving in this one! What size is Joe's motor? It seems to do good!
Joe has a 1641 in his baja. He also has a street bug that has a 1776, we have a small clip of it in our Santa Monica pier vw meet video 😁 it's real purdy! Not like the dust buggy 😂
Also if you are looking for a good but cheap camera all my footage comes from a wasp camo cam. I got it for $50 on Amazon and just keep collecting more very now and then. Pretty affordable 🖒 you just need an sd card after that
@@dustbuggy - Since I have an hour, before I plan to leave. I'm going to try to throw a quick charge on whatever junk cameras that I have lying around. I'll see if any of them work out on the trail. I will look into the wasp camo cam that you mention. It looks like it has good resolution and that is a nice price that you don't have to worry too much if it falls off or gets ran over. I really enjoy watching your Dust Buggy videos! I love when you take the time to slow down the footage to show the vehicles suspension impact or drop off of obstacles. Are you doing that while using your editing program? All I have ever used is Windows Movie Maker, and I don't know if it has that feature.
Thanks for the feedback, I love slowing down those moments too 😁 it does takes a bit of guessing and checking to get it in the right location and look okay though. I'm using powerdirector cyberlink on my cell phone! Been making everything on it so far. One day when i have the funds I'll make the leap to a computer and get a better editing program. I'll probably be able to put out higher quality vids after that 😉 I've heard a lot of people say movie maker is decent software to use. And if you have a buddy to go with you they can always get out and film you going over something on their cell phone! 🖒 I filmed the chevy going through the wash out area on my cell 😂
Never really checked but should produce somewhere around 180-200. Ours was built low compression (8.5 to 1) for more reliability so it'll be closer to 180. 2.3 with 10.5 to one would be closer to 200
Yea, OK. Baja's are so light, as long as you keep momentum, they'll get you where you need to go. You should TH-cam baja bugs and see where people put these things. I'll put mine up against pretty much any Jeep, any day. Then again, mine isn't a typical baja. Roll cage, 36 inch FOA's on the back with 16 in travel, 14 inches up front, 33x10.5x15's, and 18.5 inches ground clearance, and a stout motor.

Your videos help us all stay motivated to get out in the dirt or get our atleast get projects done! Thanks for sharing.
Can’t really compare the two... it’s like comparing a yacht vs a canoe lol
Glad y’all had fun, definitely looks like a great time!
Haha I know right?? I just thought it would be fun to make a comparison, especially in an area that the bugs definitely had more room for fun 😂 had it been muddy this while video would have been different!
Old saying " Difference between two wheel drive and four wheel drive is SPEED. "
Isn't that true?? Haha they are two different beasts. Had it been muddy I'm sure we would have been begging him for a pull 😉😂 we were just skinny enough to not really worry about the ditches, he was not so lucky!
You can set my bug on fire an push it down hill. I still won't trade it for a stepside instead!!
Great footage looks like everyone had fun!!
I really enjoy your videos and your Baja. And I really Love My Baja Too. Thanks for Dust Bugg’n Us and keep doing it. BigW:-)
Everytime i see your videos im wishing I had a Baja Bug, Im eyeing a 65 bug right now might go buy it and join the club haha
Do itttt! It's a pretty cool club if we do say so ourselves 😉 I couldn't imagine not having my baja bug haha
Hey Dusty crew, don't miss our road trip to THRASH our baja bug at Jawbone Canyon HERE! th-cam.com/video/FqI0PfLHH9I/w-d-xo.html
The bugs are more fun 🤙🤙
For sure 😉
@@dustbuggy they probably put an old man to drive that old truck but a chevy will eat those junk alive bug are for girls

Well, they definitely don't have "no off-road capability" 😉🤙

I had a Baja Bug I bought in the 1984. Was great fun. Sold it in 1995 , biggest regret.
Damn that sucks! I've said I could never sell her, it would be heartbreaking 😭

I would love to see some footage of yours if you ever get some 😁 let me know if you do upload any!

White knuckles !! 😬
where you can found 2332cc engine?
You have to build one from a 1600 or find someone that can. Maybe you can look online but that'll be pricey
Dust Buggy thanks and what is hp of it

Dust Buggy very nice! thanks
Are you guys ever going to do some real wheeling or just drive on some dirt roads your whole life
This is stupid. Mom could take the mini van on that road.
That video is stupid they put an old man to drive tha truck everyone knows a chevy will eat those girls bugs alive

I wanna ride in your baja 😍😂
