Sweet build and edit. You need to add a parts list in the description for all of us looking for "ideas". Looking forward to more vids. Keep it up man! I have a 67 that I've had for the last 20yrs. Trying to figure out what to do with it. I'm done with the stock bug scene.

[@Bajabunker]

Thank you! I will try to put a list together and post it up here

[@bryananderson6745]

Sick build dude!

[@Bajahaha70]

You sure made that look EZ did you bend up the cage or buy it ? Great video and would like to know some more about the parts list . If you have more video it would be great to see some more of the details it would definitely not be boring to me your results are kick ass!

[@Bajabunker]

@@Bajahaha70 thank you! Cut out a lot so the video wouldn’t be 10 hours long lol I bought a class 11 cage as a starting point but modified a lot as well as bent the rest of the tubing. I have everything save to a file on my computer! I will post all the parts soon on here! Going to try and post more on here

[@douggrunberg]

Love it!!

[@Bajabunker]

Thank you!!!

[@ruubguus4321]

Nice & Clean 💯👍

[@Bajabunker]

Thank you!!

[@scbenna]

Love the build! What springs did you use in the rear?

[@Bajabunker]

@@scbenna thank you! 500/600.. I may change the 500 to a 450 to lower the ride height a little but so far it’s been solid

[@michaeljeffers9635]

Nice looking bug what components did you use .hood ,suspension and engine. Thanks Mike

[@Bajabunker]

@@michaeljeffers9635 thank you I pinned the comment with a parts list. Only thing missing was the quarter turn fasteners for the hood that I got from kartek

[@moediaz7002]

Love the whip!! Great editing, add more clips of your project so we can get some ideas man. I’m trying to build a bug as well but I have no knowledge of the structure of the frame-built roll cage and so on. I know how to work with sheet metal and welding as well. Any tips?

[@Bajabunker]

I’ll try to post more! I also have a lot of post on my IG for my build. Pretty much just looked at lots of off road builds but and non bugs to get design ideas

[@SpaceBallOne-fc3ep]

how come I feel like this should have so many more views? How long did this take to finish it to this point?

[@Bajabunker]

Hopefully it will get more views as people keep liking it. This is about a year and half of weekends. Of course there was a lot I cut out so it wouldn’t get boring

[@SpaceBallOne-fc3ep]

@@Bajabunker Its a really nice compilation! almost looks like you did it in one day. Well done!

[@Bajabunker]

@@SpaceBallOne-fc3ep much appreciated! Hopefully part 2 doesn’t take another year and a half!

[@MiahsBug]

I’m a year and a half into my build and you’re way ahead of me

[@Bajabunker]

@@MiahsBug but you got a badass big being built!

[@michaeljeffers9635]

Thanks.keep it running

[@Bajabunker]

@@michaeljeffers9635 will do!!!

[@ricardohuerta7617]

Jake nice ride im working on a baja build as well pretty much the same as your car i have same front suspension rear im going with 3x5 motor same honda j35 with build 6rib transmission. Question have you start a stand alone harness?and if so who did you use? Thanks in advance.

[@Bajabunker]

Thank you!! I do have a stand alone harness from P2R but have been waiting for the plug that comes off the ecu to the obd2 plug for about 4 months

[@coderedward]

Nice build! I have almost the same car. Only recommendation I can give is at some point have your exhaust go from dual to an x pipe. Sounds way better , more responsive, and you’ll gain some low end torque back

[@Bajabunker]

Thank you!! I’ve heard that! I will be sure to check that out and play with it

[@eviltechracing]

Is that a bolt on A-arm kit??????

[@Bajabunker]

@@eviltechracing it’s a weld on kit from Nichols Fabrication

[@eviltechracing]

@@Bajabunker ok, I was like hell yeah, a bolt on kit hahahahah, the Nichols kit is what I was planning until I thought this was a bolt on hahajaha

[@Bajabunker]

@@eviltechracing haha no I don’t think I’ve seen a bolt on one.. but this one is solid!

[@eviltechracing]

@@Bajabunker kinda makes me want to design one, could be possible I think

[@Bajabunker]

@@eviltechracing if I had more experience I would’ve

[@justinhanssen3375]

Hey where did you get your trailing arms and A arms at or did you fab them yourself?

[@Bajabunker]

A Arms are from Nichols Fabrication and rear arms are 3x3 from pacific customs

[@67VWForever]

The wide is so much better on BAHA's and with a LS

[@LuisCruz-so4wn]

Yeah garbage

[@MiahsBug]

Video has picked up steam…

[@Bajabunker]

@@MiahsBug Damn! Hadn’t checked in a while! Cool to see people into bug builds

[@MiahsBug]

@@Bajabunkernot sure if you have KZbin Studio but worth downloading and tracking progress.

[@Bajabunker]

@@MiahsBug I’ll have to check it out!
