Awesome build...I'm subscribed 🙌
I'm watching all these vids on Honda swapped baja bugs because I want one of my own 🤩🤩

I think that I saw that sweet thing in the gas station in Oceano today. I said "Looks like fun." to the pleasant passenger.

Tie rods in front of the control arms always gets me. Im an engineer and id never put them up front to get smashed into. Beautiful bug build!!

[KettlesVids]

This thing is amazing and I want it! 😍

Sweet Baja! Keep up with the videos! I just subscribed!

[bigandlittlecountry]

sweet setup! hope to see you at the desert or Bajasociety poker run!

Nice profile of your ride. You are proud of it and your vid you can be too if not for the um's. Had you had notes, absent the ums, your presentation would have been very well presented. Nice job regardless.

I almost wish I had gone with a Honda engine.. I went all out with a built CBM ls7 motor, I can't keep the front wheels on the ground and the thing scares the crap out of me. 600whp is way too much for me, 🤙

Very similar to what I'm planning on doing to mine! You got any videos showing more detail on unset front end install? I was leaning towards going with the Nichols kit as well and I think this is the first video I've found of someone actually running it

[m_co]

Extremely nice build!! I'm starting on a similar build, just pulled the trigger on the Nichols front suspension a couple weeks ago. Curious, what wheels are those? They look like they might help reduce aerodynamic drag a bit, are you running into any issues with brake cooling? I'm guessing not, but my understanding is that style wheel can run into cooling issues with more... ah hem... traditional vehicles.

Such a clean build! Huge fan. What are you running for the ECU?

[rafaelgonzalez]

nice ride man! i have the same nichols setup on my baja. what spring rates are you running?

[lankmd]

What do you have it limited at with the 3x5 in the rear. Build looks great.

[illusive]

did you have to move the trans back for the 3x5s?

[airheadperformance]

Question about the rear arms, are they the 3x5 from kartek? And stock location mounts?

[JeremiahUpson]

Are your rear trailing arms 3” back and 5”wide? I’m finding a lot are 5 back and 3 wide?

[OpieDaRed]

Whats the trans and what did you build cage out of

[airheadperformance]

how did you find grafting that a arm bulk head on? i have been looking at their kit for a while.

dang bro you must have one of the only j-sawpped beetles, a dream of mine, but I can't find any videos of the thing running. You should definitely film a quick video from what it sounds like a on a driveby going down the road, as well as like an angle from what it's like inside. That would be cool thakns
