I was just thinking about this subject the other day. we all know that back in the day 2inch narrowed beam was the way to go and CB perfected this . but who or what club were the first ones to bust out the 2+narrowed beams. I dont recall 2inch +beams back in the early 90s.. _________________ Just Cruzin Sur Califas VW Car Club est♤1998 |

The first narrowed beam I saw was in 1984. Back then it was strictly a custom job. Nobody sold beams that way until way later in the 90s. _________________

I was always curious too, it seems like the narrowed beams didn't become too mainstream like they are now untill the early 2000's. |

German Folks. Skim was the first to run a 5 inch beam with no shocks. It was on a black 63. |
