We Take Our 1960 VW Bug On Its First Epic Overland Trip- What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

[@vanzelstrestorations998]

New subscriber from Australia here. Enjoyed the video with the bug getting proper dirty. So great to hear your reasons for taking a bug over the 4 runner. Not everyone understands that you can out there on the tracks in an old 2wd VW and you dont need to spend a fortune on the latest truck. Yes, its more of a challenge, but who wants easy? We do a lot of offroading in our 40+ year old VW buses, and they are fantastic as you dont need camping gear as you can sleep in the car. Hope to see more overlanding beetle action soon.

Y'all are nuts!

We've been called worse!

[@DeteccionDeportivaK9]

We have the same issue in our baja, the smog coming inside the cab. 🤷‍♂️ don't forget to make a video if you address the issue. 👍

I forgot where I seen it they make an aftermarket heater blower for the Volkswagen. And it's supposed to work really good.

Keep a can of wd40 with you to spray out the distributor. It'll displace the moisture

What did you find wrong with it ?

[@PaulL-v6i]

Great video. My dad and I elk hunt in his Baja bug in oregon every year. The transaxle throw out bearing clips don't hold well. A piece of wire attached as back up is good insurance. When you take it apart you will see what I mean. Happy trails....

One of the "ears" on the throw-out bearing snapped off.

@@VWBUGBUILDS I watched all your videos and thought you did an excel job and know it was it was something that got over looked or used piece. Just small bugs to work out HaHa. Please show part which failed in your next video . For your first outing I think it did very well and you should pat yourself on the back. 👍
