That's great! Good thing you were able to drive it out. One of our friends sold us a 67 super beetle back in the day that we tore apart to make a dune buggy and beat the piss out of. We didn't realize there were a million bolts holding the body to frame so we just cut it off with the torch! Turns out the 67 was rare and our friend flipped out when he saw it transformed...not in a good way. had full roll cage and recaro racing seats. Remember we broke the trasaxel during one of the outings and had to chain tow it home. Good Times!Oh yeah it was crazy for sure! Hit the jump a few times with passenger and thought it was great so he videoed. Replayed video first time and was maybe a foot off the ground pffft! So I did what we always do and hit it faster. Coming up to the dip I lifted because fear but then said "fuck it!" and got back on it. Bottomed out suspension in the dip and it helped propel me up a bit. I thought for sure I was going to land on my side. When I landed my head smashed against the side window and I thought the drivers side suspension was gone as my world was now a little sideways. Wheel and tire tucked into the fender and made a hair line crack in the paint. The 6.2L moved around quite a bit too but nothing really damaged. The bed smacked the cab and put a small dent in it. Took it to the store I just bought the wheels/tires from and shared the video and they gave me a free alignment and looked suspension over. Sold the truck sight unseen to a dealership for what I paid for it and that's when I got my 2011 GT500.
Here’s the video!
