In this thrilling episode brought to you by Hoonigan, we witness a clash of automotive titans in the dirt. On one side, we have a gutsy Honda-powered VW LS, a 1969 Beetle shell stripped to its core, boasting Fox 2.5 bypass shocks and a Honda K20 A3 motor with a touch of VTEC. This bug, with its classic wide five buggy wheel and Yokohama tire due to a recent spindle mishap, exudes a rebellious spirit in a world of ecotex conformity. The driver's unorthodox choice of a Honda motor sets the stage for an underdog story that's as gnarly as the broken spindle he faced the night before.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, we have a budget build Ultra 4, a creation born from the ingenious mind of a suspension engineer named Chris Cogin. This beast, powered by an LS truck motor and equipped with GM front diffs and Land Rover Defender transfer case, is a formidable contender in the off-road arena. With ADS shocks, 40-in Baja boss tires, and a lightweight frame, this machine is a force to be reckoned with, ready to take on any challenge that comes its way.
As the two vehicles face off in a series of rounds, the competition heats up, revealing the true test of skill and performance in the dirt. The buggy driver, despite facing some shifting woes, showcases determination and grit, embodying the spirit of the ultimate underdog. With each round, the excitement builds, culminating in a showdown that proves that in the world of off-road racing, anything can happen. And when the dust settles, only one victor emerges, proving that in the battle of Honda power versus LS might, the outcome is never certain until the very end.
