Baja Misadventures Part DEUX, Episode 1: Prerunning the Baja 1000 Ain't Easy!

Baja misadventures - PART DEUX! The original Scumbug/Baja field trip crew is back. This time, with a lot more power and suspension travel in the bug - and just about the same amount of prep as last time. AKA almost none. But hey, that makes for the best stories, right?

[@TheHoonigans]

Is Scumbug now the best build at the Donut Garage??

[@KaiPlews]

Definitely the best Baja bug in the garage

[@jaidanmiles5933]

Best in the world

[@buzog1269]

Yessss

[@martindepunkt3770]

yes! If you consider the epic action and fun it is good for. sure

[@MrFurai]

Close call between scum bug and shart kart.

[@palmtree476]

"We're stuck at the border" "I'm gonna go give the guy some money" *3 minutes later* "So we made it across the border!"

[@Cynsham]

BAAA HAAAAA UPDATE!!!!!! WE MADE IT THROUGH THE BORDER

I am so glad the field trip intro is back

[@TheHoonigans]

Feels good.

Yes, the field trip intro is bae

"BAHHH HAAAAA UPDATE" favorite line from Zac EVER.

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Today on shaken and sandblasted

[@a3f4cdf]

That save from the roll-over was legendary!

[@Formulasoul]

Probably the best series of the year,last years was some gold content.makes me really wanna do a Baja trip,good stuff as always 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@swoop411]

Ditto! Baja is definitely on the bucket list.

[@Varsn101]

Can the people get a Hoonigan Playlist? You guys go hard on your music selection!

[@Vtek57]

Agreed

[@nitro_dropkick9774]

My favorite kind of Mad Max scumbaggery is back! Edit: Thank you guys so much for reviving old field trip intro, I’ve loved that intro since back from early days of DTs lol

[@TheHoonigans]

We're kinda proud of it.

[@s.ol.5511]

Shout out to Manuel and his son for saving the trip! Love to see good people helping out others just outta love for what they do! #humble

[@nathannichols7306]

20:13 Damn Scotto what dat mouf do

[@russcorbin1766]

Nathan Nichols El Gigante sexy banana eating contest...

[@V10PDTDI]

I laughed when I saw him eat his banana leaving him with just a stump.

[@yoshiko130]

send that dad and his kid some swag once you get back

[@jarn4742]

fun fact that son and kid are my cusins i live in ensenada as well and what that dude said was true we dont take money from no one

[@jakethelittlesnake6258]

Man I was excited for this one, love seeing the scum bug back in action. Probably one of my favorite vehicles y'all have built

[@TheHoonigans]

Same! From Craigslist zero to Baja hero.

[@peytoncollins3880]

Scumbug is probably the cleanest car in the donut garage until now

[@TheHoonigans]

It's a tight battle between Scumbug and the Knuckle Busters M3.

[@johnmoser2689]

Loved it when Blake saves the day at the border and is pivotal since he knows old school VW Nice work brother

[@Husnain237]

"spinal tap into spinal fusion" 😂😭

[@boardbysled]

Great content, great editing! I really hope to see more stuff like this on your guys channel! Would be sweet to see you guys race Scum Bug in something like Vegas to Reno or the Mint 400.

[@bills8720]

You guys complain about brad not tightening stuff, but that just makes good content

[@trentonnobles464]

the bug bounces like an unweighted semi and the Can-am floats along like a boat on mild water

[@yony52]

Seriously from the first episodes last year to now, this series is still the best one you guys have produces by far! With shart kart and ABW trailling.

[@dustbuggy]

I've been refreshing my home page for the last three minutes for this. SO HYPE!!!

[@BlakesGarage]

This video makes me want to build my E30 into a Baja Rig!

[@TheHoonigans]

Do it.

[@AudibleVisibIe]

Please god do that

[@user-yn5sk5ru5g]

E30 came in x drive did it not? Lift kit, and pick up truck conversion. Do it

[@kowal2212]

@@user-yn5sk5ru5g yes it did only in 2.5 liter engine, rare to catch 325 ix

[@von...]

Makes me wanna convert my E46 330xi into one too. I've done some grassroots rally events and it was soooo much fun but I deffo need to strip the car and get some proper coilovers made...or buy some used rally spec ones then get someone to make brackets for my car. Plus I felt soooo bad for my clutch because the only way I could get oversteer other than e-braking was to dip the clutch in pre-apex then do a hard clutch kick out. Shits still my daily right now and I'm so hyped for more snow :)

[@bumpinbeats545]

One of the only vids in my mornings subscription feed worth watching

[@TheHoonigans]

This is what we strive for.

[@aaronforward1004]

Vin saved it because brian was his ride along. . . anybuddy else "jesus take the wheel". Must rewound 20 times at that pucker moment.

[@LightHawk328]

Can't believe it's been a year since the last epic Baja Adventure. You all look stoked to be down there shredding. Good stuff!

[@FlyLikeRedBull]

Wow cant believe you've had scumbug this long. A year went by so fast watching your quality vids. Thanks hoonigan!

[@dustbuggy]

ImFlyLikeRedBull right? They are the best

[@juannwilliam1106]

Im glad they brought back the original field trip intro

[@graymatter78-23]

Seeing you guys have fun is making me have fun!

[@dustbuggy]

HiddenWario - I love offroading videos 😍 making them is fun too!

[@markchavesjr555]

Stoked to see you dudes rocking the homies at Heatwave Visual 🤘🏼 perfect glasses to go full send with 🔥🔥🌴🌴

[@TheHoonigans]

We agree! Perfect desert sending eyewear.

[@scottharpel9367]

Def need some updated Baja Bug merch... like a brown 70s tee, with stripes and shit.

[@joereyes5154]

Absolutely love it when you guy's do the baja videos. Oh and the reason the mechanic didn't take the money was because something you guy's did for his kid the previous day.

[@ekuapa]

He didn't gave more details and from the video you can only hear "for what you did yesterday" on 9:52 you can see the photo from the previous day

[@ryancaldwellracing]

You know, I think that the Field Trip intro is the best on the channel. Hert already asleep in the passenger seat, Joey hanging out the window, the music choice is perfect. I also get SOOOO hyped when I see it, cause the episodes are usually really fun.

[@mikesimon9329]

my main take away is CanAm kicks ass...

[@followthegrow108]

Yeah they do. But way to expensive. Just build your own sandrail

[@BranGrizz]

omg the rear suspension looks like theres zero damping

[@hsztxbnc44]

Fuuck I want more episodes, because this is FVCKN awesome! I'm so *Hyped* *SCUMBUG is RAD*

[@TobyMcNackel]

The field trip into is definitely my favorite intro. 👌🏾

[@aToast3r]

Well you did let braddy put it together in weeks instead of months so it is kinda rushed

[@zerohourdrift]

Never trust a pothead to put together a race car on a time crunch 😂 we love ya brad but come on 😂

[@FrankieCoyazo]

....you had to edit your comment...maybe you need a pot for your head??

[@zerohourdrift]

FrankieCizzle nah just fixing an autocorrect misspelling lol

[@patrickarchibald6787]

Ya notice something? He's a Hoonigan and you're not. Don't be so hard on him, he must be pretty talented to be a Hoonigan

[@zerohourdrift]

Patrick Archibald ya notice something? I said I love him tho. He’s hilarious and a great addition to the team. I was making this little thing called a joke... ever heard of that?

[@jaimemoreno4900]

I started watching you guys on the daily after your first Baja 1000 last year

[@bigcheese82]

Hats off to the filming and production folk who put this together. Super professional and better than anything else out there. Especially when it's free content. 👍

[@bgd73]

awesome.. but with all that suspension, can't you guys play with damper and rebound. no need to be a clown.. although it is comical. Serious bug you have there... I love it

[@batican8367]

I am happy to see you guys drunk on tecate and sleep deprived first thing.

[@BeardedAsshole420]

20:03 dude that's an awesome sunset. If there is one thing to love in life it's a good sunset or sunrise. It's just so peaceful.

[@alpine13]

The best race for sure. The vibe in the whole baja peninsula during race week is amazing.

[@OvAeons]

A thing i have learned from the Hoonigan crew: everything is a johnny.

[@von...]

Gotta turn all those dampers up to 11...also turn up everything else to 11 as well, then she'll be *DIALED* & ready for spinal tap bois!!

[@peterbonde7214]

This is by far the best Hoonigan episode so far; and I’m not even an off-road guy!

[@DEMONX212]

This channel is single handedly amping me up to go full racer in something next year. I'm a 7th year 18 wheeler driver currently. Now I just want to take my 2001 mustang base, completely strip it, throw in a LSX supercharged motor and wild the hell out. Plus side, I love to go fast as hell! And the reason my mustang is a base model is because I can only enjoy riding it 3 days out of the 3 weeks of work.

[@andersolsen6523]

Baja is the best time of year

[@TheHoonigans]

We kinda like that you're using Baja as a measure of time.

[@drifter42100]

Today's Lesson: Money fixes everything. Oh, also. "B A J A U P D A T E"
