good job on the buggy, interesting that he opted for an auto,... was it so that it could handle the extra grunt?

its not an auto. it has a kombi box. 2L version I think. i am hanging to get mine goind to see if it goes as well as this one. I think it should be a
good day seeing which one can get the furtherest in different situations and in the end I do not care as long as somone will be getting some video of
all the mayhem

Well Hill number two on teh test track has stopped all that have attempted it so far.
Hilux - Turbo Diesel, twin lockers, lift kit, mud tyres blah blah blah .... couldn't get up
Troys Buggy - Mazda V6, custom stuff all over the place .. couldn't get up, although he didn't actually try to get up we were just trying to shoot
some roost.
So ANdy maybe yours is the one, I think so ....... Turbo + locker + nutter = success or at least good footage.
Best part is the greenies can't close the test track .....

That piece of piss hill has been tried and failed by many kick-ass 4WD's as Mr Brad mentioned, and not to mention numerous big bad VW's of all
forms.
If you want to show us all how easily you can do it, join the Manx club and go along to the next fun filled testing day.
Good luck :thumb

The hill is in my yard.. I have with me a nice cold carton of VB and I will happily bet it that you will not get up the Hill in say 3 goes. If you do
you take the VB, if you don't you double it ... Yep is you are so cocky then you will have no problems getting up my piss week hill if you fail you
loos 2 x cartons of VB and post on here how pissy your VW powered baja is ......
So you up to it ??

You mustn't have seen much film of your own car then.
I have been in the twin locker mud tyred turbo diesel hilux going up those hills. The first hill is steep and very soft and nothing to be laughed
at.
The second hill has a couple of ledges which have been unpassable thus far, and I'm sure you could easily roll a buggy trying. We hit it at high
speed in the hilux, took out a couple of small trees and dug some big ruts, but it didn't make it.
You better build something very tough if you don't want to be eating your words.

Hey brad can I come to the BBQ when you get your free beer, as you will not get a chance to drink it as you will be to bussy trying to skull drag the
broke Baja out of your property. No wonder people call them BA HA with attitudes like that. Just as well some people like Wes actually know how to
build a real one.

Anyone can open their mouth, but he hasn't even got a car to back it up with.
Great buggy guys, awesome to see someone who actually owns one driving theirs hard.

If I can just get some more KLZE V6 powered Baja's and Buggies out there I might have to start making upgrade parts for them.
It's also good having a second car testing my adaptor / flywheel design.

that's a pretty decent hill there! nice vid too. Don't want to be picky but with that manx, I wouldn't wanna take a good hit on that front bumper
like a stump or something. It looks to me like it would kill the radiator. Was that the best place for it? Just wondering that's all. Very though
manx though.

Radiator is well protected. Of you hit something hard enough to hurt it you wouldn't be real happy.
Protection is made from 5mm checker, 40 NB Tube with 3mm wall ....
By the Way .. you need to know Mud Bashing to understand him .. be nice I am ure he will take up my bet and drive strigt up the hill ...

Mate I have seen this thing and the bar work is excelent and well designed. It is more like a tube frame buggy with a fiberglass body on it. Next
time ya see it at a show or somewhere take the time to check out how everything is tied in together and you will see what I meen. i gotta say it is
one buggy which is a credit to all the people who helped build it.

I've been with Tim in his Baja at Ormeau....he's a nutter behind the wheel, and I'm sure he'd give anything a go just for the hell of it, or
because you guys said he couldn't....LOL

I must have pissed some people off sorry for that but just to clear a few things up i am in the manx club and the only run they have had since i have
been in the club i went on i almost fell asleep at the wheel and i have tryed till i almost died to get anyone to come out with me the only people
that took there skirts off were kurt from volksmod andrew with the tow'd and terry from custom offroad 3 people in over a year, all anyone had to do
was ring me and i would be there and ready to go in half an hour any weekend or any afternoon. So unless that hill got like 10 times worst that carton
of bbq cleaner is as goos as mine and why is it that soon as i sell my car people start coming up with challenges like these anyone that knows me will
tell you that i thrive on a challenge so wait till i get my car up and running and start making challenges im getting thirsty omce agian sorry for
pissing anyone off did not mean to.
Anyway the 2 cartoon baja has been sold but im thinking of getting another just for things like this cause that thing has out performed many so called
big bad 4wd's and big bad vw's remember expensive don't mean go's further.
Also graham there is the passanger seat spare if you want to come up the hill with me
