Has anyone tried to turn their truck into a Baja style race truck? I have seen a truck on TTORA that fits this description but nothing from this site. I would like to do this. I have always been into dessert racing and that style of truck. I am looking for some bucket racing seats (4) to replace the front AND back seats. The aluminum stuff for the dash and Nav mounts that kinda thing. If anyone has done somthing similiar please post pics or ideas.

TTORA is your best bet as there's more offroaders there than here. There's a few here n there, and even a few hard core guys, but TN isn't really 4x4 oriented or populated.

Especially when the guys that do that get banned....

what color was the truck.....if it was black with LT in the front and a 4link in the rear and fully caged then.....it was already posted on this forum....look it up bud

what are you planning on doing to your truck? i might be able to help out. But it depends on whether you want to "look" like a Baja Truck or "work" like a Baja truck lol

Yea, ther is a BIG difference between looking like one and performing like one. But as for all out race truck, why cut up a brand new truck? If you really want to thrash offroad, buy an older truck.

bah.... fuck older trucks! :disappoin I've been working on them for the last 3 months.... Rotted floor pans, rusted bolts that strip or snap, gotta torch every damn thing to get it apart without busting a wrench, half the damn thing needs to be welded back together.... I'm so sick of working on those things. :lol: And I wouldn't trust the body mounts or frames to hold up to that kind of abuse. Unless you stripped it down to the frame and started over (blast it, fix the rust holes, etc). And I'm not Chip Foose so I don't have all that crap in my garage....yet.

You are also in NY. We don't really have those problems out here in sunny So Cal!

Yeah that must be nice! lol Any northern state with snow and road salt has that problem. Hell, even cars 3-4 years old are a bitch to work on here thanks to that.
