Finding widened smoothies (6", 8" or 10") can be a bit tricky. if you want old originals then searching local Craigslist, Letgo, Facebook, and other selling aps is the only way to go. If you want new, try Smitty Smoothies on the Samba. They are not exactly like the originals but will ...

Re: Towd History

The assumption is, the photos were taken around September of 1970; this Tow'd is the 9th tagged BF Meyers body produced after Bruce left the company. Why this Tow'd was buil...

Re: easy stereo speaker location and underdash 1/2 parcel tr

Some technology is good.

Home made Rugged Radio mount for Manx

I wanted our radio/intercom to be easy to service and remove if needed. I used the standard Rugged Radios face plate then made a mount that U-Bolts directly to the stock dash support. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181012/f024922ccd778bece79a7120c43dae18.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2018...

Re: rear "safety-lite"

We do not have amber lights facing towards the rear of our buggies. However, we do run 51/50 lighted whips and use them on and off road.

You've been bitten by the bug(gy) craze!
I do recall you saying it doesn’t stop at 1 buggy.

They also ride well on the street with 10 - 12 pounds air front tires and 14 - 16 pounds air in the rear ...
