New Baja Toy
I picked up a new Baja toy yesterday. I'm still a Toyota guy, but all my NOB desert friends are going JEEPY (with age comes the cage).
I'm headed south in 3 weeks with a couple of Nomads, but wont be taking this baby.
'93 YJ 6 Cyl 4.0L Auto AC 2" lift, 32" Coopers and the price was right!
No worries

I have a much newer Jeep with the coil springs on all four wheels. I'm sure it's not nearly as off-road capable as a built, leaf spring model like
yours. We're stock, all the way, except for Bilsteins all around.
But I just love the ride on dirt roads or even the dreaded partially-potholed, crumbling pavement. It just sucks the bumps up, with the tires at about
23-24psi. Most comfortable dirt ride I've even been on except maybe a newer Land Rover. Those things REALLY suck up the bumps.
We have a hard top, too, but a Jeep just doesnt feel like a Jeep until you get a rag top on it. We have our HT off for all months that dont require
A/C, which is basically only July, August, Sept. Get yourself a rag top, if you dont have one. I really like the mesh ones; they dont trap as much
heat underneath and you still get some sun on you.
Have fun.............we are.
