It's used to take up space at car shows
I'd like to see how the bags are installed and controlled _________________ Casey--

It apprears the logo in the bed is for Rayvern Hydraulics so I doubt it's on air. They've been building pretty over the top cars for years in the euro scene... _________________ '88 vanagon*****'91 gti 1.8t*****'04 r32*****'11 suburban z71 |

It would sure be easy to load a motorcycle in the back with that deck height. I am usually a lifted kinda guy, but for some odd reason I like lowered vanagons/bus'...
In the end to each their own.

The pictured vehicle appears like it would have an air ride system installed.
Flip the switch and she pumps right up to a driveable height. |

I LOVE IT! But I love lifted Vanagons also, and they're easier to drive. _________________ Tim Potts

I think it's 100% badass.
the one similar to this for sale on the samba is using suspension from a Bay.
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1593568
it may not be really useful but I don't care. looks super cool.
the worst part of these super low setups is the steering wheel ends up between your knees which is a bit awkward. |
