Sweet!! Bertie thats great!! 8)

Here's what I used to run, back in Canada.... I think studded tires are a bit overkill now my bus is in the UK.

This is what I have now.... Just mud & snow. Cant wait to get my Bus registered and get them dirty

Some people may have seen this site, thought I'd post a link as it seemed appropriate and it does have some good info:

I know its a late bay but gotta say that black and silver one in the pics section looks as tough as they come 8)

I like the use of the word "Bajafication" sounds proper RAD!

On our Dutch fourms we have a topic dedicated to 'Bajaficated Bays'. Here are some of the EB's in this topic:

I think I got carried away a bit...

But I do like it (I'm not going to to this to my bus, though ).

Thanks guys!

Roland - loving your old red westy. What tyres and suspension mods did it have?

Nothing too crazy on the drive train mods actually. Front beam tubes cut, turned & welded. Rear spring plates raised one click. 4 rancho shocks. Wheels are mercedes 7X15 et25 and tires are black star guyane 235/75*15. Tires looked great and were very efficient offroading but they where huge and with the heavy offset of the wheels I had to cut in the bus quite a lot..

Nothing like that on the new 72 though. I'll try to fit tires as big as on the red one but i'll have 6' wheels with better offset, and also a slighter less aggressive tire profile.

But an off road bus is a lot of fun!
