I think that every sube owner has there own cool rescue story......heres mine. One of my buddies had just purchased a new(er) heep wrangler, and he thought he was all big and bad. Always pickin on me and my sube.....sayin it has NO off road ability. Well, he just had to prove it to me I guess...and to make a long story short, he got it stuck WAY out there on the state land.....and I mean STUCK.....-all 4 wheels off the ground with the center skid plates up on a pile of mud- stuck. Well, after an hour of digging and pushing on it, and a couple hours walk back to civilization....we arrived at his house cold and tired. Not to fear, however......BAJA to the rescue! Threw a chain in the bed, and slid the hitch in, and we were ready to go! Drove BACK up into the state land......BACK through the SAME trails....the SAME mud.....you get the idea. Pulled his sorry jeep out with minimal tire spinning....and drove away with ALL the bragging rights!!!!!!

hey man, welcome! fellow baja owner here. (2003) arent they sweeet? keep us posted.

Hey....well, I am also new to the site, but I can sure tell you some things about MY baja! First of all....GREAT VEHICLE!!! I would say youve gotta get the 5 speed for the most power & versatility...but thats just me. Also, if you get the trailer hitch its worth it. Ive pulled everything from campers to hay wagons, (empty) .... and it always got the job done. If you arent hung up on lots of interior STORAGE room....and seating for 4 is OK....then you'll love it. I have a hinged lid tub strapped in the cargo bed of mine, which works good as a "trunk", and still leaves me room for plenty in the rest of the bed - especially with the bed extender! Bikes DO fit nicely if you turn the front wheel sideways. I never went anywhere without 'em all summer! The 2.5 liter IS a little underpowered, but you can make it work if you shift it right. The reliability has been great so far (almost 80K on mine now with nothing but prev. maint. work) Have been mudding with it a few times, and while its nothing like a fullsize truck, I havent been able to get it stuck yet! In short, a fun vehicle that'll turn heads, save gas, and take you all over the place.

Hey, I e-mailed Allied also, (that was Jan 25th) and they said they were buying a baja that weekend and that they were in the beginning stages of designing the lift!!!!!!! (cant wait!)
