Thumbs up Bajas and Mud

I live in florida, and i love baja bugs, i was just wondering how well do baja bugs perform in mud, since thats prolly the most off roading that is available in mid florida. any info would be great.

Thanks

Re: Bajas and Mud

They should do OK. Traction is the biggest problem in mud, and with the weight (engine) in the rear on a Baja, it should rip right through it.

Aggressive tread on wide rear tires will help a lot.

Make sure the engine is protected. Wet mud on the ignition components will leave you up a bog without a paddle.

Been playing in the mud with a baja for 20 years. It's always a blast. Old VW's should never die.
