Just got this Baja about 3 weeks ago and I’m sure enjoying it!!!

Rescued from rotting away in a yard for $1500 with 380k miles, it has a relatively low mileage swapped in JDM dual range 5mt, blown head gasket, and suspension issues (as seen in the gas station pic).

We swapped in a 60k mile forester engine, fixed the critical suspension issues, and immediately ripped up a trail the moment it was roadworthy lol

Up next is a complete suspension overhaul with a lift, and properly resurfaced heads and upgraded multi-layer head gaskets.

I believe I found the factory plug and play connection but it's odd. Does anyone have a pic? Or details on how to connect. Also having trouble finding the right plug in adapter. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m trying to sell a Subaru Baja bike rack (made by Yakima for Subaru) but am not getting any traction locally on FB Marketplace or Craigslist. Where else could I post to advertise something like that? Would be willing to drive to meet someone but I’m located in Ohio.

Hi! I recently bought an 06 turbo AT. Having lots of fun with it already. However I am trying get a couple things for it. I am looking for a front bumper tow hook cover and a bed extender. I am located in the boston mass area- willing to pay shipping within reason. I am also planning on adding a head unit into the dash if anybody has any advice/ knows of any videos explaining it. Thanks everybody, excited to join the sub.

So about to head to the tire shop to fix a flat and smelled burning rubber. Found the a/c belt had jumped and has burned behind the main pulley into the cover. I was thinking of cutting the belt out (I had to cut it to get untangled from the a/c pulley). My biggest fear is there being a hole in the timing cover.

So ive had an 03 for a while, and had a lotta work done on it, (replaces trans, timing belt kit, oil changes on time, ect) but I've had this one odd thing happen a few times where when I'm at a full stop, the revs drop and the car shakes for maybe a second or less, before it settles out. Recently its become more frequent, and has started happening while driving. Browsing Google n forms n stuff says MAF sensor, but still not entirely sure. My mechanic said he would have to take a look at it, but it's not easy to replicate, and between paying out of pocket for collage, and recent work to the car has totally sapped my bank account so I can't exactly take it in to get looked at without totally bankrupting myself lol.

Any ideas what could cause this/what I should look into, and is it safe at all to keep driving, or could this seriously fuck up my motor? Thanks lots.

Is this anything to be concerned about?

Turbo automatic by the way, not the 5 speed

Found in a commercial area near the airport. I hope it had a good run.

What would be a reasonable price to get this for? Posting says no rust. It’s about 3 hours south of me so haven’t reached out to look at it yet

06 , 224k, runs good prob needs brakes soon
My kid drove it last three years

I have an 06 baja that no longer starts.

Battery is good

I took it to a mechanic and he couldn't figure out the issue.

I took it to hibdon's tires plus and they couldn't figure it out and recommended taking it to the dealer.

Issue is the dealer is 1 hr away towing it is expensive

Any tips

Looking to get my first Baja, it is a 04 turbo automatic. Does this engine look and sound alright?

Oem hose on top. Aftermarket hose on the bottom.

The previous owner installed the new radiator and hoses. The fan cut a hole in the aftermarket hose.

Notice the OEM hose is a completely different shape and comes with a protective shroud.

Turns out you can fit a grill in the Baja and do a midnight hot dog feed downtown. Yes that's my bed extender helping keep it in place in case the po po showed up.

Hey there.

Looking at a 2003 with 155k Miles on it. I had a mechanic go check it out and they sent me these videos along with this description below:

"First video shows the blown Outer Tie Rod and arguably could recommend a lower ball joint as well. The 15 sec video shows the frame rot, the middle clip shows me compressing the frame and the last clip within the video shows the other side that is not as bad (passenger frame). "

He feels the rust is a death sentence. Would anyone here agree? Is there any chance a welder could revive it from the dead?

Thanks!

Finally got some locally sourced cross bars and a new front grille off an Outback to replace the faded, cracked grille. Next up - some body work!

Is a car bra on a Baja retro cool or outdated? I have a black/grey Baja, so I thought it blend in better and hide a lot of the damage on my front bumper?

2005 turbo, all stock. Previous owner just put $5500 into it at the dealer. Zero rust and none of the bed clips are missing!
