Just wondering what mods you have done to your Baja vehicle to best fit your needs.
Getting ready to install a 56 gal. fuel tank this morning. |
Guess it depends on your vehicle.
I took off the OEM shocks on the "Off-Road"-packaged F250 SD TD because they were useless on the road we travel south of San Felipe. Replaced them
with Bilstein 7100 series reservoir shocks.
Put 43 k+ miles on the OEM BFG Rugged Trail 265s (15 months) and replaced w/285 BFG ATs.
Stuck a TransferFlow 50Gal tank/tool box (now gives us 88 gal capacity - a range much farther than our bladders have) in the back and we have a Snug
Top canopy with side openings to facilitate filling the tank.
I carry a Hi Lift? jack mounted in the bed and have a mount in the bed for a second spare if we're planning to go on secondary trips out of Bufeo.
Tapped in real back-up lights that are worked independently.

* Optima Yellow top battery to handle the washboard roads w/o leaking like a wet cell battery.
* 33" Interco TrXus MT tires - I ran BFGoodrich MT and AT tires unsuccessfully in the past 6 months, and sold all sets to return to the TrXus MT, my
favorite tire for durability, price, and traction.
* All J Products interior rack - gives me 75% carrying capacity of my old Ford Ranger pickup.
* 2 5.25gal. NATO gerry cans - 0% leakage on those long Baja stretches.
* Tomken dual gerry can/spare tire carrier.
* Milemarker 9,000# winch - self-recovery at its best.
* Smittybilt SRC Prerunner bumper - offers considerable protection, Baja styling, and utility.
* KC Daylighters - I sometimes drive after dark in rocky canyons and on long stretches of dirt roads.

I did an add aleaf in the rear and raise the torsion bar front one inch on both trucks. 93 Toyota and 04 GMC Z71. Put heavy duty torsion bars on Toy.
Add Smity built front bumper guard mounted to frame. Added two cheap driving lights wired to high beams. On GMC wired low beams to high beams thru a
relay, gives better side vision. Spay in bed liner with a bed mat. Toy has an air compressor under the hood and a positraction rear and 31x10.50
tires. LT285R75/16 on GMC and an underseat rear tool box.
