Just get spray-on bedliner all over it looks good on a 4x4, Pull the carpet and stuff out and do the inside also!! Im mean if thats what its for is 4x4 only, but I would put it inside for sure! Pull all the molding off and build a front bumper like the back one with a winch and some KC lights and a tubular roll bar with KC's also! Just sayin

Well its a street truck not just a mud toy. The rear bumper is as weak as tin lol. Took the truck pretty deep into the woods today to find out that the front actuator is stuck. That left me stuck out in the woods about 10 miles with nobody around. I got myself out with a cheap harbor freight 3,000lb winch. Took a few minutes to figure out how i was going to make it work. Ended up using a 4 inch ratchet strap to move the truck enough backwards that i could take off forward. Then had to turn around so i could head back up the hill and the only way was to get stuck again. Needless to say i got it out but now i need to fix the front end.

The baja is a nice truck but its not what im wanting to do. Its too clean and simple looking.
Cold, well i got the front diff working now. We went out around 8:30 and just got home. Had a friend come down here in his 2wd ranger and wanted to go hit the trails. I never once got stuck tonight but i didnt have to use 4 low a few times. Mostly to get to my buddy that was deep off in a hole and needed a good pull. Hook up chains, lock it in 4 low, ease off the clutch, and let the truck pull him out at idle lol.
