Mid life crisis Cali Swamper!

Has diff lock ever been an option on the Beach?

Here’s a Beach being sold by Hess as an extreme Swamper and it has diff lock. Crazy insane price so it’s been on the market for a very long time.

VW T6.1 California 2.0 TDI Beach Limited 4Motion, 11.2022 / CHF 195'000.–, Boîte manuelle, Diesel, Camping-car, 150 CH, gris, Occasion

Not sure if it's still available in Switzerland, but it was. Here is an example

I mentioned the airline track bars and molle board set I have, well I cleaned the van today so here’s a picture if anyone is interested in how it looks and can function. I use the track hooks for hanging my rubbish bag and firewood when in camp. A drop down table also connects very easily to the molle boards.

that would be great, I'd love to tour the Alps!

You would have to promise not to show me your electrical system and air suspension. My bank balance can't cope with temptation!

I just avoid looking at my bank balance

Feel like an imposter to this thread now with my little 150PS 2WD van, @JuanVecino2023 did you open a thread about flower decals in the end? Think I might join that one.

All are welcome on here!

That’s another £10k optional extra…

For anyone that wants to actually use their Swamper this is a great tour company: https://graenzelos.swiss/

I feel like we're playing a game of poker here. The stakes keep getting upped, and people are folding. Diff Lock, 4Motion, and now an actual Swamper tour company? My wannabe 2WD pampered machine and I fold!

All that needs is some Black Rhinos and you’re good to go

Has diff lock ever been an option on the Beach?

it does for sure in continental Europe.
as also 4M is mostly available on Beach in other countries, but not in UK.
wherever 4M is present, you can opt into diff lock.

 

[aeicalifornia]

Yes its all about application. For me I have no plans to hit the scree and dried river beds so I'm unlikely to use the capabilities offered by the manual diff. I came down on the side that it was one more complicated part that could fail and the costs are also very high to replace.

you are absolutely right, the same here for me about application, as already had two Range Rover L322 fully 4WD equipped at the time configuring Cali, but allowing myself being absorbed and nearly intoxicated by this thread, I now kind of regretting being excessively practical and modest with my Cali traction, whilst all the other essential extras checked.
damn thread!

I'd rather have you Joker.

I know taste is in the eye of the beer holder, but there's not enough beer in Germany to make me like the Cybertruck. And your Joker has a kitchen and a toilet

Here's an interesting Swamper:
