[sam@bugeyeddesigns]

Spotted on thesamba...

I like the way it looks mostly factory stock- apart from the tyres

Here's the link to the build

I was looking at doing this to mine with a set of spare wheels for a bit of fun and really must price up some big tyres....

I was very tempted a while back to go this route aklong with roof racks & ladders, fuel tanks etc - sort of safari look, but getting the right tyres isn't that easy (or cheap) over here.

Yeah I did contemplate calling T2d and getting a qoute on a similar plan but didnt fancy listening to twenty mins of laughter from the gang on the other end of the phone

I love baja Bays, but to me the best looking ones are the ones that don't look like monster trucks with a bus shell, but buses like the red crossover bay and surfs camper.

The hardest part to make an offroad EB seems to be to find the right tire. Since SUVs caught on, the tire industry is making bigger and bigger all terrain/offroad tires and 14-15" tires are phased out. At the same time, it seems tire technology moves forward and it is really hard to find tires with an aggressive offroad look. Any all terrain tire today looks like nothing more than a modern snow tire to me. For a more aggressive look, it seems you have to go for mud tires, but they are both expensive and obviously not optimal for road use.

A couple of years ago I bought an early bay with 20 year old snow tires on it. It's not the best picture to show the tires perhaps, but even at stock height it has got a hint of offroad look to it

i nearly brought an wedge syncro before my early :msn4: i only do slammed to fuck or off road status. No middle ground here
