Default BAJA Style

I want to mimic the baja style as far as lift and tires and bull guard, issue is I dont have 4x4 just 2wd. So not planning on off roading but I just like the look but dont want to look stooopid. Anyone seen this on any dakotas and can anyone point me in a parts and cost direction ?

actually, baja trophy trucks are 2wd. so your ahead of the game already. im building my long travel "baja" kit right now. for fenders, suspension, tires, shocks and coils. your looking to spend more than your truck blue books for.

if you just want the look. get some fiberglass fenders, a tube front bumper, and some wheel spacers in the front only, and a leveling spacer.

but dont be bothered when people start calling you disco. to do it right you need money. and theres no parts out so you have to go custom.

well....ummm. trophy trucks dont have "lift kits" and there are no lift kits for our trucks. so for now you could just get a 2" leveling spacer. and for tires. get what you can afford. trophy trucks run General Red Letters and BFG Baja Projects.

visit my facebook page to see the tires, fiberglass fenders, etc.

The only truck that came close is the actual baja 1000 raider that was built. it doesnt have long travel but features bypass shocks and full cage and the works.
