VW Thing
We supply parts for all model years of the Volkswagen Trekker (Type 181), also known as the Thing, Kübelwagen, or Safari depending on the market. Whether you're maintaining a classic military-style VW or restoring a collector's vehicle, you can easily find the correct parts by selecting a VW group and subgroup or by using targeted keywords.
To make sure you order the right parts, have your VIN (chassis number) and engine serial number ready. Our reference document allows you to identify the exact production year of your VW Trekker/Thing using the VIN, and includes a list of compatible air-cooled engine types based on the engine serial number.
