Thread: Its the Simple "Things" in life!

Gotta admit I've never seen a THING lifted on bigger meats for off road. They were only offered in 2WD (rear), and I assume that the big front tires are for looks and ground clearance vs being converted to 4WD, right?

These are just VW's with different bodys. Developed in ww2 for the German army to transport its officers. Its just a rear engine VW air cooled engine with a VW trans axle. 4x4 is out of the question for these vehicles but they are very off road worthy due to the weight distribution and gearing. Air cooled makes running the desert nice not worrying about H2O for cooling. The larger tires give better ground clearance, better grip on the dirt, and better flotation in the sand. And a nice by product of that is they look meaner as well. They are really well suited for our needs, oh and not bad gas mileage either.

Of course you can go LS1 and water and rule the world!
