Book Reviews of Baja Bugs and Buggies
Book Review: The basic primer for buggy builders, a must read!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent book for first time builders and as a reference book for the more experienced. What made it so valuable to me is that Jeff explains the cost effective way to build buggies and baja bugs. No flashy boulevard queens here, just real world functional stuff. All the complicated aspects are explained. So read it, think about it, then go back and read it again. I have built two cars, a baja and a class 1/2 1600 and I still refer back to it for the detail technical facts. The only reason that I would not rate this book a 5 star is that I would like to see more information on none VW engines and the newer A-arm suspension cars.Book Review: Good book, lots of info, but getting dated.
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is one of the few 'how-to' books available. It has the benefit of being written by an experienced racer (and fireman, so he's concerned with safety, not just going fast). It emphasizes the important parts of keeping a VW engine alive in rough conditions, prepping suspension, and gives the reader ideas on interior layout, lighting, and pros and cons of a variety of issues. Too bad it is getting dated; the massive changes in the past ten years for engines and suspensions are not included.Book Review: an awesome book for beginer or advanced baja mechanic\driver
Summary: 5 Stars
This book covered all the important parts of a Baja Bug. It had chapters on a certain part of the car instead of all the car in one small chapter. It had long chapters on front suspension, rear suspension, engine mods. and so on. This is a must read for people who love off-roading or don't respect baja bugs.Book Review: When it comes to Baja Bugging this is your #1 source.
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are thinking of building a Baja Bug there is little material available. Jeff Hibbard manages to cover all areas of construction in this comprehensive manual. Further chapters on driving tips and first-aid make this the perfect source for any prospective Baja burner.Not for the VW purist....
