Yeah they sure do shovel some sand when you sink the nose into a dune butr suppose they did'nt have doing this in mind when they designed it.
Helmut was it you inquring about the 77 lifted yellow bus a while ago?
If so I have the number of the owner.
top one is my screensaver
This is the original 16inch dual cab version that was left in OZ after the obvious Australian rally.
A bloke in WA owns it and has restored it immaculately there is a full story on the web about the vehicle.

Sorry about lateness of reply..
Here's what me and some of my cousins/mates used to get up to on Moreton Island a few years ago before rangers closed all the "good" bits of the
island off...
The first dual cab lifted by Volks Engineering. Powered by 2.0L with mild cam/webers/exhaust/headwork. 10R 15" on rear with 215/75/15 on front
My cousin's dual cab powered by 2465cc Type 4 with lots of goodies and heaps of power and torque.(who needs an engine transplant??) 12R 33" 15" on
rear with 235/75/15 on front
Mates bus(now lowered with flames painted on sides if anyone knows the car) powered by stocko 2.0L with 12R 33" 15" with 235/75/15 on front.
They actually landed pretty damm good speaking from experience!! Bit of a worry when you go up as all you can see is lots of sky!! A lot of people
complain about the lack of power from a stocko 2.0L type 4 but set up the right way with the right gearing they will do the job and pull a hell of a
load. Beach work isn't all about how fast you can go but how slow you can crawl through soft stuff and watch 4WD's get stuck behind you LOL
