JBugs has been providing high quality classic VW products for Beetles, Buses, Karmann Ghias, Type 3s and Things, as well as modernistic off road vehicles such as Baja Bugs, Dune Buggies and Sand Rails. With over 20 years of experience, we are the go-to destination for all things VW which is why we created a blog to share everything you need to know about the VW culture. From local car shows and classic VWs on the silver screen to installation guides and product spotlights, the JBugs' blog is the place to visit, read and share.
With the goal of running taller rear tires, Sam and Nate swap in a Bus transmission, with it's bigger ring and pinion being better suited for that tire.
Sam and Nate get back to work mocking up 3x3 trailing arms. The car gets a new urethane pivot and spring plate bushings, but needs some clearancing for the new trailing arms.
With some setbacks and time constraints, our engine build has been delayed. Sam gives us an update on whether it will be done in time for EMPI's 2024 Engine Battle.
