I very much appreciate the help and support I've received from YBajaSteve and the rest of the Scoobytruck.com community. The inspiration I've received from them has been priceless, and I couldn't have done this without you. Thank you so much!

Whoa, this got stickied? cool! Of course I'll update as I run across them ;-)

I don't recall whether I'd thanked you over on Scoobytruck or not, Thacrudd, so:

THANKS! These are great links, and Scoobytruck is a great Baja resource!

[xzde40fk]

Can't thank you enough for the interior pictures. I have one dang back light out behind the clock temp gage in my 2005 Baja Turbo and would never have attempted to change the bulb without your pictures.

Wish I would have seen the tonneau cover site prior to buying my Ozz. Would've saved a couple hundred. Thanks for the links!

[wilberforce74]

I love the idea of tutorials and would also love to see one on doing a swap from a non turboed automatic to a turboed version.

It would be nice to see a tutorial on custom light bars. Anyone made one up before?

I should be working on this over the next week or so.. Will be finished with hopefully some good pics and measurements before the end of the month.

-Updated to put Jungle_44's sub box tut in there.

This thread is awesome!!!! I had to remove the radio to fix my iPod connection and would not have been able to do it without this! THANK YOU!

[soccerandpingpong]

The walkthrough on the light rack was awesome, I've been looking all over trying to find exactly that!

Anybody ever lift their Baja?

[donniediscors]

Acro2pilot lifted his with SJR 4" Legacy kit. I'm planning to do the same soon. Just trying to decide b/t 4 and 6".

I've lifted mine (twice) initially 2" back in 07, with a Scorpion body lift , and again this spring when I replaced my struts, I added the "Subtle Solutions" one inch spacers to each strut on top of the Scorpion spacers. Running General Grabbers 215/70 16's these give me more than 12" of clearance at the rocket panels, and over 10.5" at the rear differential.

Hi... New here and can't start a thread yet. I need help figuring out how to remove the long plastic trim piece that sits above the tailgate license plate assembly. I just purchased the Baja and this piece is cracked It's an '03, but I doubt that matters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe you have to take the black panel off the inside and then you'll remove the body colored panel underneath.

Yea you take it off from the inside, I think I've seen videos out there. I disassembled my gate latch and cleaned it, then reassembled it. Works way better now.

Has anyone done a bed cover that lips over the bed like a truck?? Oh and yes I’am new I have owned my baja for almost 2 years now and I don’t think I’ve ever loved a car more! 240,000mi

I'm picking up a 2003 Baja tomorrow. Beautiful truck got traded in to a Ford dealership! I think I'll be referencing some of these in the coming months. And probably asking for help with some of my more ridiculous ideas.

[Hfourlife]

Nice. Ill try to add some of my mods soon.

[Lt. Dan]

Thanks for this sticky! Just picked up a Baja, so this will be a bunch of help!
