Baja Blast of course.
This is it, you could even to a Baja Blast livery
Craig, you need to call it "The Stink Bug".
Craig gets a crappy run of the mill F250 and can't be more excited. Craig gets a unique bad ass little desert runner beetle with crazy suspension and Honda swap and calls it crap and garbage 20 times in the first 2 minutes of looking at it 😂 Ford guys are wired different
That's honestly pretty sick I didn't expect it to have a v6, that's fucking awesome
If it wont rev past 3 or 4k, inside the ecu you bridge the vss with the vtec solenoid and that will take it out of limp mode and allow vtec to work. Also you don't need the o2 sensors wired up. Also you probably have a perm code for no immobilizer chip.
Also could have a rev limiter with a cold set
Internal pcm fault code like you mentioned
As a bug owner myself (stock one, not a baja) one thing that NEED to be changed if it is stock, is the steering! Not just the box or the column, THE WHOLE STEERING! That floatiness you described, a HUGE chunk of whats causing it, is the steering, SPECIALLY when lifted. Bugs are notoriusly known for having bad steering and much more problems, but i love them!
yup
Porsche steering from a 924
Crazy! I love lifted bugs
That car looks a lot like a car that was on the news in San Diego a number of years back where the driver/builder was showing off and how it performed.
WilkeyWorks was the bug shipped out of the country I had to double check
I vote for Dung beetle as its name. Fits it perfectly in my opinion 👌
I was thinking the same thing! As soon as he called it a turd, I said to myself, Dung beetle!
Doesn't AZN already have the original Dung Beetle?
@@chrisallen2005yes
There is only 1 dung beetle
You need to do a vehicle fleet update, I’m so lost on what you own now😂
Ikr
Love the fact that you said its already stupid fast and sketchy as hell and yet needs a supercharger , why I love this channel !
that's an odd swap i wasn't expecting a v6.
They're pretty popular for buggy swaps. Good power, light, and cheap
😂 You move that engine any further back and you might as well get it a trailer.
I love all your Fords but I’m really really diggin this bug. Like wayy too much.
This thing is gonna be a riot! Can’t wait to see what you do with it 👍🏽
The front suspension set up reminds me of a sport quad like a Yamaha Raptor or YFZ. Very cool looking! Set up right it should glide across the desert and fire roads.
Thing is SICKKKK!! Can’t wait to see it’s future
Bro never change your awesome and the content you produce is one of a kind
Awesome! That’s the 2nd coolest car you own! Can’t wait to see what you do!’nn😎
I had a similar problem in my set up like yours. My car was in lip mode and wouldn’t hit vetch with out a speedometer cable hooked up for some odd reason! After that it ripped.
Outstanding AF!!
The bug is sooooo rad , I always loved those things . Cheers 🇨🇦
It’s stuck in limp mode because from what I can see there is no O2 sensors on that exhaust and the stock ecu definitely needs that to run properly
dude that thing is sick i would love something like that!
Yo havent even watched yet, now this is sick dude hell yes. this is cool. You can do so much with this awesome buy dude. The baja are the best of the bugs period
Can we body swap the galaxy onto a crown Vic chassis, utilizing the fire wall and floor pan from the crown Vic
I’d like to see you build a set of long tube with x pipe or a 6-1 for this thing
I second this
It ain't got no gas in it. Carl Childers.
Can't stop laughing at the passenger door flying open when you first drove it. Classic.
fuel
fire
timing
love you Craig
da wookiee
That thing looks crazy as hell but it looks like a blast wonce you get it setup right 😂
The Baja Blast! 🙌🏻
That thing is SICK!
Beck yeah! Awesome project
looking forward to this build! desert vlog coming this season!!
Love baja bugs and love a good j series honda. Perfection here
It is a super cool project. I am a big off road fanatic. This is the kind of project I'd like to find.
That thing is sick! Let's get it all fixed up. An m90 supercharger would be a great addition
If it’s just sitting it won’t rev past 45 rpm but if your driving it I will higher then 45 the ecu did the same on my tl
That ride height is fine. generally most decent bug rear setups are 80% up travel and 20% droop. At axles level there will be some angle back because as the suspension cycles it will move forward through the arc. This one might have the engine and trans too far forward, but not that much, maybe an inch or 2 at the most. but it has standard stub axles in the back reducing axle length, in turn reduces travel. with a 3x3 stub axle setup with 002 trans the most wheel travel you'll see is probably 14-15" and thats with 930s. with bus axles youre looking more like 12". I have a 3x3 micro stub kit with 930s and getting 16" was difficult while maintaining ground clearance. at 16" of travel im at 18 degrees of axle angle at full bump and 26 degrees at full droop. At ride height my axles are at 10 degrees. if I wanted to reduce my ground clearance at full bump to zero I could have 20" of travel, but being so rear biased, you want at least 4-5" ground clearance at full bump. As well as the fact your engine is back there you dont want to be slamming it on the ground every time you land, go through a G out, or go through whoops.
What adapter plate is being used to attach the v6 to the vw trans. Been wanting to do this with my bug.
9:52 make sure you're eating ice cream though. Hehe
Here for the Baja Build 😃👍
I cant wait to see this thing once you have gone completely through it. I already know its going to RIP
You can convert a WRX transmission into a transaxle, and if you flip it upside down, it'll even turn the wheels in the correct direction for rear engine applications such as this. DK what to do to make it limited slip, but the point is; look into it if you want a cheap, relatively easy, and relatively solid trans option to replace the bus trans.
Also, if you can swing a turbo system, something like one of the smaller Borg S300SXE with a twin scroll type D housing would be perfect. You can even use the stock manifolds and current mid pipes, and if you wanted to get epic, do a water to air built into the intake manifold that way the whole system is relatively compact and low profile.
If not, Whipple 140AX if it's a J35/J37, or a 100AX if it's a J30/J32.
Air, fuel, spark… you don’t really need all three! 😂
Cool Baja tho man, enjoy it. ✌❤
This is awesome I just got my 63 bug on the road again last week
Looks to be a blast!
"71" is the year of excellence and perfection! That's the year, that I was born! 😜💯
😂i thought about the gas thing once you got it to crank then it wanted to start with starting fluid. Happens to the best of us
Looking forward to seeing what you will do with this.
great stuff thanks
Killer project!!
been wanting a baja forever it would be sick with a leghened rear to fit a big engine.
This thing has potential to be really cool
Has a nicholsfab A-Arm kit on it, pretty cool!
Nice. Probably in limp mode still made more power than my baja
Welcome to the bug club! I have a 73 convertible! 😂
Paint it white pearl metallic. It would look awesome in the sun in the desert.
You called it turd, it’s a bug . Name it Burd🤙
I got a low mileage 2 door Altima with a V6 I'd love to use the motor out of for one of these!
Everything you own has killer wheels and I’m waiting for crown vic content
This bug is sick as hell!
Very cool project. If I had money to kill, I'd put a b18c in one. More power than 2332 n/a , more reliable, less weight than v6.. Congrats on new v dub.
Cool project!
APPROVED
Looks mad max
“Ain’t got no gas innit” in my best slingblade voice 21:02
Look into a Porsche box some of them are ram in that orientation. And I think people have done k swaps on them too
What you could do since your going to rework the whole back of the "car".... ditch the whole rear engine and bus trans setup and go with a mid engine and transaxle setup. It will have better steering, CV angles, better trans, smoother ride, etc.... the only downside is that it won't "look" like a baja bug with the engine hanging out the back. Even if you do keep the rear engine setup get a modem transaxle from a sand rail. It will be a lot better then the bus trans.
My vote for the bug name is “Greg”. Craig and Greg has a nice ring to it!
Mine used to do the same thing because the tps was bad and the coolant temp sensor was bad and it did the same thing
Bro that wiring up front is literally how they came out the factory😄👍
Ford guys...so humble. Slick back hair, skinny jeans, calls everything a pile of junk...good people, LOL
Honda-bug=hug, hog, Bunda, something along those lines lol
I dig the bug always wanted one off road style
I can't wait for the crown vic video.
Those codes are for the O2 sensors there missing that's why it's running the way it does you need to go into the programming and remove the O2 sensors shut them off
Asian Bug!
So cool!
Its either a j32 or j35. Most people dont know it but that engine actually also used in a GM vehicle other than a honda. A Saturn Vue. No joke. 😂🤣
Sweet bug man...🤘🤙
I’ve seen an couple with American v8 in them really cool
The way u fix stuff up it will be cool 👍
That bug is awesome ! Looks like something out of a mad max movie fix her up and throw a turbo on her and have some real fun out at Glamis
I'm a ford guy.... but a vw guy at heart.... I've have 5 vw's... love working on them,drivein them ... just as fun as a ford but metric
Dzus fasten the quarter window covers in for access panels to work on it.
put the fuel tank, electronics and radiator on the front and make a cantilever rear suspension to make it 4 seated and add a roof rack on top.
DUNG BEETLE!!!!
I want to do a similar build but with the 4.3L V6 I pulled out of my S10 that just sitting on my garage floor. I put something else in the truck but I always enjoyed driving it with that engine.
J series is better suited. 4.3 isn't going to rev too high and I believe it would be an iron block iron head. An all aluminum high revving honda is nice. Plus a j series has tons of torque as well, as it's a pushrod
@@trashbandit2449 I wouldn’t care for difference in performance. I just have the damn thing sitting around for no reason and would like to build one of those things haha
@@pnwchris2000 can't argue with that haha
My neighbor has the same engine in his Baja bug. Thing sounds wild
Esa salsita al inicio god
Probably something to do with the ecm. I mean it's not exactly hooked to the factory key.
This… is so fucking cool, Craig. I love it.
When are you going to do the beam kit for the f250 I want to see that thing on 37s
Name it Skipjack! The slang name for click beetles (they jump)
I like them old dune buggy ones like off that old cartoon speed buggy
Craig909 Build That VW Baja Bug From The Ground Up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Dung Beetle" 💩 would be the ideal name for it Craig.. 👍
I wanna see the progress!
