Other than that it's stock, these things are awesome and the amount of aftermarket parts makes my head spin. I probably won't do much as far as aftermarket aluminum, unless something breaks then I will probably upgrade.
Your Baja's look really good. Here's a few pics of mine. The last pic is of the pipe mount I made because the Meilke comes with a wire like a nitro buggy, it looked weak so I used some angle I had in the garage, it's actually the first thing I've ever fabbed up that turned out as good as it did.

Thanks, yours will be fun. You did some good first upgrades, a good pipe will help wake up the stock engine. Keeping the aluminum is also good, mine is a pig, weighing in at over 30# ready to go. Moving a 25# stock baja is a lot easier than moving a 30+# pig.

That was actually my first idea. I actually have a plan to make my own chassis on the back burner. I still have to draw it up and make sure that it will work, but my plan is to bend a new chassis that is wider.
