    It seems that every truck out here that does the "Baja" or CORR style out here is just that Mitch. Nothing but crappy fiberglass thrown on a even crappier lift. If you're gonna do it do it right and make it fun.

    Like Mark said it's gonna cost ya som MAJOR coin. $6k in just front suspension may even be a little low...plus the glass. Plus the rear suspension. It's not cheap... IMO I would just put a 3 or 6" suspension lift on it and bigger tires and call it good. You're getting what you want to do out of it and not dropping ridiculous amounts of money to have a truck that will be used for what it was built for maybe once a year you know?

    exactly why i said that... i hate all the ''poser'' trucks out there that just look like theyre a real baja truck but arent. a few of my friends back home had trucks like that and i always gave them hell about it!!

    I have the same problem where I live. Most of my friends have 4wds and I got alot of dirt roads and mudholes around here and we go the river and stuff like that so I just take mine ive got stuck in sand like once but besides that its been alright. That is alot of money to spend to not even to have 4wd and thats the main thing you probally need and its no telling how much that conversion would costs!

    Camburg is one of the BEST long travel lifts on the market next to Total Chaos. I've seen their product line up close and personal at offroad expo and they keep coming out with better and better kits and their fabwork is next to none. They are not just another Fabtech or every other pansy lift you see. They are the real deal and I have witnessed their long travel kits completely thrash the desert. GO Camburg if anything at all.

    I agree dude, go spend 7g's to make a desert truck that will probably never see the desert. That's what I would do.

    Nothing wrong with doing it in stages too.

    Maybe do body first, then lift, then tires.

    Prob be best to do lift, tires, then body though. I know the prices are tempting, but stay away from e-bay lifts. They are that cheap for a reason.

    Prerunners are sick, weither they look and function or just look. So have at it man!

    Whos to say that once it's lifted that he won't take it out to the desert? Would you put a crappy turbo kit on your truck, or something quality that you can depend on? Plus, I dont think any of these trucks on this site are gq's, so the capabilities of our trucks matter to us. No posin
