Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. Das Awsome.

I have been having fun with the slow motion 240 fps on my Iphone6 and decided to put together a couple of clips from yesterday out playing in the snow. Enjoy.

[@tonypotts3769]

1:10 had me rollin! LOL!

[@vw64manyrd]

great photo-ops... Very nice truck. Thanks for the video!

[@Volkswear]

+vw64manyrd Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. JC.

[@ArizonaOval]

looks like your gonna have a fun winter!!

[@Volkswear]

+Pimento Momento Honestly I've had my fun with winter, I'm ready for Spring. Luckily our annual SoCal trip in just a few weeks away and we can hopefully escape this cold for a week or so. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@queenofyeay]

Man, that just cements in my mind that your Syncro is a BEAST... I love the wheels you put on her too. What a great demonstration of snow-worthiness!

[@Volkswear]

+MISTERComaToes These wheels really do fit this thing. I picked them up for $80.00 for the set at a local Salvage Yard. I had to have the Foundry here in town machine the centers for me and they turned out great. Hopefully putting together a little video tomorrow on that shirt you've been requesting and back story on the painting. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@queenofyeay]

Volkswear Cool, I bought the onliest one of those shirts you had on etsy, did you not have more than one listed? To tell the truth I'd have probaby have bought three because I thought it was cool you did a full color shirt when I asked... I can't wait for the vid on the painting. I remember you mentioning it's from a picture taken on your first VW camping trip for your honeymoon back in the day, but it will still be nice to see a vid on it!

[@SyncroTravels]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Love the slow motion parts. We have 95 horsepower as well. Weight 5200 lbs...

[@Volkswear]

Thank You. Most fun you can have with 95 horsepower. JC.

[@kuliatv]

That looked fun.

[@Rudis_Garage]

That's a pretty cool video sir

[@filippetrovic5000]

You are the KING

[@guzzisot]

At 0.51-0.52,your roof rack moves forward,at least 5cm.Take care!

[@Volkswear]

Indeed it did. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@landonbando2501]

Definitely the little van that could. It's crazy

[@Volkswear]

+Landon Bierfreund You know for only having 95 horsepower and weighing in at over 4000 lbs. it really gets with the program. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@kingharryannis]

Spitze!

[@williamboardman9476]

AWESOME ! Starts out like a HOONIGAN video ! (You know...DRIFTING.)These have skid plates ? Park anywhere at a mall this winter.

[@Volkswear]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@MikeDeal]

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! must have been fun to make

[@Volkswear]

Thanks Mike. It was pretty fun thrashing on the old Syncro that day. JC.

[@Thiagotonatto]

Muito legal!

[@musicmaestro88]

LOL. I want one of these so bad. :)

[@Volkswear]

Fun vehicles. I actually have a 1986 Sunroof Syncro I am selling right now. JC.

[@bonjaevel2]

Nice!!

[@Volkswear]

+bonjaevel2 Thank You. JC.

[@jameskeller1707]

Are you still running the factory viscous coupling or have you upgraded to a decoupler? Have you had it rebuilt? If you haven't, how many miles do you have on the van? Front or rear locking diff's? Thanks for the awesome video!

[@Volkswear]

It is a stock VC. I also have an 87 Westy with a GoWesty Decoupler. At some point I need to rebuild the trans in this Syncro and I'll probably add a decoupler at the same time.

[@MGSMobility]

Das entertaining JC...is this Beast equipped with skidplates das underside?

[@Volkswear]

+MGSMobility Just the factory stuff. I need to add to them a little bit. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@firstalexey]

супер!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Volkswear]

+Алексей Саныч Thanks for watching. JC.

[@shartne]

wow that was impressive. I hope there was no damage. It has a lot of clearance and four wheel drive.

[@Volkswear]

+shartne No damage from this stuff. I did head up to a local offroad spot this afternoon and ended up buggering up my rear bumper just a bit. Its all fixable and was almost worth it. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@shartne]

+Volkswear back in the 90's I had a 76 Ford F100 in mint condition. I took it over some woopty doos in a field pretending it was an arena truck. It loosen the bushing in the bottom of the steering box and then it had slack and would vibrate violently when I got it up to about fifty five. LOL It took me the longest time to figure out what it was. my friend whom name was OX climbed under the truck and layed down and told me to drive slowly while he hung on to the suspension I dragged him which made me very nervous but he saw it move there or I would not have figured it out. LOL the front end shop could not tell me what it was.

[@MRrwmac]

Bouncing forward in the cab on the hill was all the VW wanted to know as it just needed a bit of encouragement!

[@Volkswear]

+MRrwmac Must be. I catch myself shifting my weight and rocking back and forth in my seat when in situations like this. Maybe its just my way of being in tune with the vehicle. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@Spikeehair]

ABS-less slide was my favorite part.

[@Volkswear]

I kind of like that part too. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@Bostonclassics1]

Were the girls in the back for this adventure? Great video! No snow here in Boston yet.

[@Volkswear]

+Bostonclassics1 I was flying solo on this one. This was filmed on my way to work Saturday. I just shot a couple slow motion sequences to upload to Instagram and Stacey told me I needed to put them together and get them on KZbin. It turned out pretty decent considering I didn't originally intend to put these shots all together like this. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@jornf9744]

DER Syncro. ;-)

[@Volkswear]

My German is No Bueno. JC.

[@ClassicVWClubPY]

We are a non profit organization and we uploaded this video on our channel about 4 years ago because we thought it was cool. Our channel is not even monetized. We even show this information on our channel. Video Original: Volkswear Edición Classic VW Club del Paraguay Música: Johann Strauss - El Danubio Azul

[@VWMax]

VW's new slogan should be Das Awesome.

[@Volkswear]

+Max Kanne I think I did hear it in an ad for a local dealership. Not sure if that is something they are doing company wide or just locally. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@unicron24]

It's a monster....

[@Volkswear]

Yes indeed. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@damonkeyman1264]

what state do u live in? because it looks like a lot of snow

[@Volkswear]

+Zach and Alex We are in Idaho. This year so far has been a pretty good year for snow. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@damonkeyman1264]

your welcome

[@colemansawyer5015]

what type of rack is that?

[@kpdvw]

What size wheels? what size tires? what size / type of engine?

[@Volkswear]

16" Ronal 5 spokes ET45. 215/85R16 BFG Commercial T/A's. Engine is bone stock with 250K miles. How is this for a late reply? Only took me 2 years. JC.

[@damonkeyman1264]

P.S. I really would like to go barn hunting and get my first Volkswagen. even if it took me 2 months or 2 years to fix it

[@Volkswear]

+Zach and Alex I'm sure if you keep hunting you will find something you can rescue and get back on the road. Good Luck with your search. JC.

[@damonkeyman1264]

thx

[@zipdoa]

:49 - almost lost the roof rack!

[@Volkswear]

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. ;) JC

[@TheFurriestOne]

Ha! King of the pile! Nice!

[@Volkswear]

+TheFurriestOne It even surprised me that Der Syncro was able to pull off of it. King indeed. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@TheFurriestOne]

Volkswear Thanks for sharing!

[@aviationlover1418]

do you get to keep all the cars you find

[@Volkswear]

+WafflinArry We keep some and sell some. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@aviationlover1418]

cool

[@MetalMike50]

Nearly lost the roof rack on that first jump

[@Volkswear]

+MetalMike50 Sure did Mike. Luckily the front of the drip rail is closed and it couldn't slide any farther than it did. I had the clamps tightened down as far as I could but it did hit pretty hard. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@911Rockefella]

you hate your vanagon?

[@rotyseby7969]

what are The wheels on The car and what size?

[@Volkswear]

The wheels are modified Audi A6 5 spokes. Tires are 215 85 R16. JC.

[@spale999]

if u dont have anything better to do with this great vehicle, plz give it to me.....

[@arealvin]

[@mrctothep]

Hi, i think you mean "Der Syncro"

[@Volkswear]

+mrctothep I was just copying the popular tag line used by Volkswagen of "Das Auto". Recently I've also heard US VW ads with the tag line "Das Awesome". I don't speak a word of German but figured "Das Syncro" would be understood by most people familiar with the tag lines. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@mrctothep]

+Volkswear Hey no problem, the line "Das Auto" is a popular ad-line in germany, too. But for me "Das Awesome" is a new one. I think your variation of the line is nice too and the people which know the US-Ad-line will get it faster and easier than me. Greeting from Germany.

[@Volkswear]

+mrctothep Thanks for pointing it out. My wife took a little German in High School and was explaining the different articles to me. I'm sure for someone who speaks German it looks pretty funny but I think for those familiar with the VW advertisement it makes sense. Too late to change it now other than delete the video and upload it again. I think I will leave it and go down in history as the guy who drives DAS SYNCRO and can't speak a word of German. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@mrctothep]

+Volkswear Hey there is no problem, i wont judge you. As long as you dont judge me for my bad/simple english.^^ I only got english at the school a couple years ago. But i will keep watching your channel/videos.

[@deanmerculief2966]

That's why they say to check them over because of the abuse they go through

[@69indigoblue]

I do not think that the axis are made for jumping....oO

[@Volkswear]

Probably not but it survived. JC.

[@affenqld4856]

This is pure and unnecessary abuse !!

[@bandit911]

Affen QLD and your comment is pure unnecessary jealously

[@Volkswear]

How did I miss this comment. I love it. This comment made my day. JC.

[@Volkswear]

Maybe....Maybe not. JC.
