I've built my truck to be great on the street because thats where I use it but I've been thinking about building an off hwy vehicle.
I haven't done a lot of off roading,most of the places I want to go that don't have roads are accountable by boat(technically an off road vehicle too  )
I'm not so much in to rock crawling,I think I want to build a Baja stile truck. Any of you guys have a build of this type going'n on? Lets see it,I'm gona rip off your ideas

| Don't think you have too much rockcrawling or baja action in Florida. You are in more of muddin country. A baja style truck is really for sand dunes type action which not what you would be doing with it so I would suggest a Jeep or Truck and throw on a lift, some 35 inch tires and a selectable locker in the rear and you should be good to go. |

Lets see it,I'm gona rip off your ideas um its called prerunner....baja is like calling a mag a clip :) What type of truck do you have or planning on buying? I recommend ranger or tacoma for a nice mid sized prerunner...wanna play big check out racedezert.com or desertrangers.com |
Do you own a truck you want to build up? The cheapest way into this kind of thing is buy someone else's build. Right now people need the cash, and you can get a hell of a deal. This guy built the truck on the left for about $7k. As far as baja trucks, start searching Craigslist in Cali. They're not too popular here in Florida. There's a reason for that, two wheel drive trucks get stuck pretty easy in mud, and thats 90% of what you'll see in Florida. Are you a big guy? Most baja trucks are rangers or tacomas. Good luck, and if you can narrow down what you're looking for we could probably help more. |
