Hi! I'm new to subiegirls. I was a little slow at joining but have decided to add my vehicle in here. It's my car with an identity crisis! :lol:

I have quite a few mods planned for it. I have pics below showing the current modifications and the abuse I put it through. :D

Off-Road Lighting:

Experimenting with different colors for the gauges:

Having fun learning Auto-X:

Recent mod additions:
Skidplate from RalliTek
F/R Anti-Sway Bars from RalliTek

Future Plans:
Install 2 Off-road lights facing to the rear to provide light during emergencies or while backing in unlit areas

Change out springs to the newer model Baja's, ie 2005, for extra ride height

Have my Baja's interior lights professionally changed to LEDs by ProDriven Auto. I'm thinking of a hyper white/red mix.

Custom Snorkel System by Those Guys Rod and Custom

Tint front windows to match rear windows

I have some others mods on it but they're older:
Spectre Air Intake
High Flow Muffler from FlowSound w/Chrome tip
Upgraded stereo system, including speakers, sub-woofer, and amp
Full Brush Guard custom made and installed by Those Guys Rod and Custom
4 Brush Guard HID's Installed by Those Guys Rod and Custom
Yellow Fog Lights

That's funny! I had a co-worker say something similar. They said if we ever have a zombie attack they would be jumping in my car. :lol:

Yeah, they are odd little vehicles. Of course, I've always loved the odd things. And this is one item that breaks the mold from most vehicles you see on the road now a days.

Since it doesn't have much power, I'm going to slowly turn it into a mini off-roader. :D

Welcome Emily! Glad you made it. :)

You could always upgrade to a turbo baja for more power? ;)

Yeah, I'm still playing with that idea. I probably wouldn't buy a new Baja just for the turbo but I might add a small turbo to my current Baja. I would have to wait until I make more money though since this upgrade would probably mean that my car would break down more often. :lol:

That's what I've noticed when reading through a variety of forums. They're fun, people want them, but they seem to cause increased breakage issues. :lol:

I think it's great! I'd love to find one up here to do the same thing with it as you have! :)

Alright! With the RalliTek skidplate, I now have both f/r RalliTek sway bars installed now along with two full sets of the Hella twin supertone horns added on top of my original set. So, that gives me 3 sets of horns!! :D

I love the sway bars. It feels odd though. I'm used to my Baja leaning. Without the lean, it feels like it's going to just flip over on its side instead. :lol: It should help with the Auto-X runs.

I just ordered a total of 6 LED flood lights to install on the back of my Baja. Now I will be able to blind people in front and behind me. :devil::lol:

I am completely jealous that you have a baja! I want one but every time I go to look for a new car, but I can never find a baja. It looks awesome btw.
