My first car was a blue 1963 Karmann Ghia convertible. Wish I still had it.

 

I can't live without my 64 baja bug. Love that car.

 

I had a 73 Super Beetle. Loved it too. Still wish I had it.

 

Somethin about a vw I'll tell you what. That old 1835 turbo I stuck in there is no slouch. Lol.

 

Here's my life savings take it!!! Those things are sweet!

 

What do you think about your ARB front bumper? I was pretty set on the JCR Vanguard but have been thinking more and more about going ARB front and rear. I know there are two versions of the full width ARB, why did you pick the one you did? Thanks.

 

I actually learned to drive on a 73 VW Bug. My parents basically said if I could drive that thing with its manual transmission I could drive any manual out there back then. Thing was a beast to drive. Pretty much always had a manual since then. Found automatics to be a little boring but now with aging I am rethinking that statement. Anyways sorry to get thread off track. This is my favorite thread on the forum here.

 

I was in the same boat as u are when I made my desision. First I really liked how the ARB went with the lines of the jeep and didn't stick out as far as the JCR did, second I saved a few bucks by going with ARB. Third the reputation for product loyalty and customer service that people were talking about really helped. So far I really like it and have no regrets. I do think I will go with a different brand rear tire carrier though, looking for a more expedition type one than theirs.

 

Just got finished with this, which I reckon will come in mighty handy for camping and expedition trips!

Is that a rear facing seat?
