Hippie66 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I might as well join in and post my project. I picked up a good project VW Thing a few months ago. Always wanted one. Plans call for building it for offroad use. I've rewired it from scratch, added a 10 degree mount and VW Bus transaxle for strength and gearing. The stock Thing used 4.37 ring and pinion, the 3 rib bus transaxle is 5.38 and should work great with the 31/10.50-15 Boggers on the back. Front tires will be 237/75-15's. Also added disc brakes on the rear. Just about ready to modify the roll cage and install it. Hoping for a test run at Disney, Ok in March, 2017.

Hippie66 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 LOL, yes, slightly better. I've ran those boggers on my '68 Baja, it gets around pretty good. The Thing will do even better dye to the better gearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
