Title: Lifted Beattle
Post by: Powered by Spearco on March 27, 2011, 06:38:26 pm: I installed a 2" lift kit on a New Beattle TDI last week.
I think it looks great.

By the way, those are the 16" Moster Truck Nutz.

Wagon springs in the back, moog VR6 springs plus OEM 10mm spacers up front.

Wound up about a 1" lift.

do you not understand that the nuts were purely a joke, just to show off for the camera?

because some of us actually have a sense of humor on this forum..

i laughed when i first saw them.. first car ive ever seen with truck nutz..

Post by: RabbitJockey on April 02, 2011, 04:25:17 pm: definitely needs a little more tire, but cool, reminds me of what my dad did to his 66 chevelle real ss a bit, he wanted it to sit up a little higher up front so it would have more of a gasser look so he stuck big block chevelle wagon springs up front

Post by: theman53 on April 02, 2011, 06:24:17 pm: The first car I owned that was all mine was a 74 super beetle welded on to a 75 cj5 jeep frame. This isn't quite as cool as mine, but a am sure a ton safer. I sold it. 45mph sideways in a field, I just couldn't help myself to run the crap out of it everytime I was in it. The scarey part was it did not have a cage, so when it did roll I figured I would be done. Fun while it lasted.
