April 13, 200520 yr There's a couple more on the Rallitek site, they show the blocks and explain the process. They used a Scorpion kit.

April 13, 200520 yr Is there any secret information available on when they are going to offer a Dual Range tranny in the U.S. for the Baja? I want gears to match clearance Still waiting... Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester It is a Baja! I see this car as needing a topend not a lowend.:cool: Some place along the lines of sand dune jumps at sixty.
April 13, 200520 yr who really? a D/R??? wow i got to stop my dad from car shopping... he wants another car with a d/r like our isuzu rodeo... tow boats out of lakes and what not... W00t!!! any dates or anything???
April 13, 200520 yr Author that looks fun now to start playing the lottery! I think so. The write up talks about what a pain it was to install it. I think the kits must be fairly expensive for the BAHA too. The responses are funny. It's kinda amazing that it's a Subaru, that a guy is trying to prep for Offroad, and still Soob "enthusiasts" hate on it. lol If it's not a rusty old bucket, it's no good. A BAHA isn't my cup of tea, (although I gotta say that my buddy's o4 BAHA Turbo is a blast on or off road) but I think it's pretty cool to see one lifted. With any luck, we'll be able to get him (lifted guy) to show up at the WCSS this year. . .
April 14, 200520 yr I Dont know why I havent checked into rallitek before now. Alot of work went into this lift! It's going to look nice with some custom bumpers.
April 14, 200520 yr Looks cool, I've always liked the Baja, just for the weird factor alone. I thought John was building them a lift for the Baja. Must have not worked out.
April 14, 200520 yr I doubt I could afford the price of the kit, much less the Baja. But it does look cool.
April 14, 200520 yr I am still working with Sean on a kit for his Baja....This guy bought an Aussie Kit from an outfit down in California.... Sean cussed it for 2 days installing it.....It had issues.... Once we Proto-Type our Design on his Ride , We will start selling them thru Rallitek to folks..... Major Difference between the Aussie Kit and the One we are doing is Tire Clearance...... That one doesn't gain anything for larger tires....Ours will let you go as far as you are willing to trim the fenders..... I do have to say the Guy Left Rallitek Packing one Of My Baja Bumpers.....Should have it Mounted shortly if Not already...... Later, John

April 15, 200520 yr rallitek should start selling fiberglass fender replacements when these lifts start selling... i see them all the time on trucks and what not... give them a real clean look... hopefully we'll see all these new gen vihicles with lifts on them at wcss7!!! can't wait... 93 MORE DAYS! still trying to talk my dad into getting one of John's bumpers for the legacy... but my dad doesn't want to smash through the fence, he just wants to stop in front of it... he kills the fun...

There's nothing a little american ingenuity can't improve on.
April 15, 200520 yr John, How are you going to improve tire clearance? As you said, you don't get any greater clearance for tires with the Scorpion lift, but that is because of the wheel openings and the inner fenders. What is your solution. I want bigger meats! I already have the Scorpion springs in my 03, which are really great! Will that interfere with your kit? Want a test mule? ;-) Perry I am still working with Sean on a kit for his Baja....This guy bought an Aussie Kit from an outfit down in California....

April 16, 200520 yr The Kit we Are looking to do will utilize Aftermarket Springs.... Sorry Perry.... I can't give out the secret yet, but suffice to say, that if your willing to trim a bit of fender you can get much Larger Meats on anything you stick this Kit into..... Later, John
April 16, 200520 yr Are they the springs from King? They are good springs, a great upgrade. The Kit we Are looking to do will utilize Aftermarket Springs....Sorry Perry....

April 17, 200520 yr rallitek should start selling fiberglass fender replacements when these lifts start selling... i see them all the time on trucks and what not... give them a real clean look... .. I believe "cut out flares" is the term? Those would rock if someone could make em for a baja!
April 17, 200520 yr Flowmastered87GLI believe "cut out flares" is the term? Those would rock if someone could make em for a baja! those would look good too... but no thats not quite what i'm talking about...(your talking about fender flares that you install after trimming your fenders right???) no these flares replace the whole fender... they have a flare built into them and larger wheel openings... they look just like a factory fender just wider and have a larger diameter for the wheel... i saw it on "trucks!" on a ford ranger(EEEWWW) that was being made for pre-running... they looked real slick...
May 20, 200520 yr fenders are overrated. it's always nice to see your suspension working you could just get out a sawzall... and fix that fender problem =x
May 25, 200520 yr No, seriously, has anyone ever thought about aftermarket jumpseats for the Baja? I want jump seats for my Brat... I think there a great idea.
June 23, 200520 yr me and my dad installed homemade cedar jump-seats in my 03 baja since it already had a notch for a 2x4 going across the back we're currently also doing some home-made upolstry to make it more comfortable it actually looks pretty cool
