Subaru Baja Overland Build | 2023 Overview 

Looks like you need to do the 1st gen tacoma struts for the rear. Did them with a 1" lift block and it sits fairly level with my 2" ADF lift kit. Easy swap and added load capacity.

look into to the taco rears if you can get them to work. I am not familar with 03s but I have an 05 with an IAG long block making 500whp that I also have BFG K02s on and a 2 "/ 2 3/8" ADF kit and the taco rear struts converted. Gives an extra inch to the rear for towing/ hauling and a stronger rear spring as well. I have a camping trailer im working on currently so I wanted the extra power and rear end to carry it fully loaded. absolutely love the build and glad RU-vid algorithm sent me to your channel!

Here in Brazil we dont have baja on own market, but this car is so fantastic to see, i can imagine how is drive this version, turbo and manual gear, i have a Forester SF manual too but not turbo

You just earned yourself a sub. I wish I went through when my Baja. I was building it, but I let a buddy borrow it. And he trashed it. I am thinking of finding another one to build an overland rig. So it might be time again. But I was planning on H6 Swap instead of Turbo. And I found a manual this time, mine was an auto. P.S. if you ever go bigger with a lift, go SJR Lift. To fix ur rubbing you can get a trailing arm spacer, there is only a few companies out there makes so little parts for the Baja. And get a Torq Locker, it will make it more capable.

I love how you called out the overland ER’s and there traction boards

Man that is amazing. Your so lucky to have gotten that in a manual. Great build. That exhaust system is pretty genius

sick build idea, never seen or thought of one

Love the build! I also have a turbo 5 speed bro 🤜🤛 I’m inspired by the hydrodipped trim panels, thanks for sharing. I’m editing a vid of an LGT engine swap into mine after I spun a rod bearing.

Fun. When you're ready to sell, LMK. Keep following your dream.

Any word on the bed rack? This build is great and I totally need that

Flatout Suspension GR40’s would be a nice addition if you’re eyeballing eventual future suspension upgrades. I dig the rig 👍

Put a 2" Spacer on the rear trailing arm

what tonneau cover do you have on there? Struggling to find one for my baja

I just purchased a 2003 Baja I plan to build, is the roof rack for sale yet it looks perfect for my needs

Hey what is that obd scan gauge..thx..

You mentioned doing STI rear control arms can you elaborate? I looked into the fronts and how they bring the wheel forward, but I can’t find (or haven’t figured out yet) what components to get for the rear. I have an 03 Baja also with the 2” ADF lift.

can you link the grille you found? I have a crack in my oem grill and not looking to pay a pretty penny for an oem one

The level definitely needs some help...
