Default RE: New Baja owner, question

ORIGINAL: splcrazy

HOW much different is the baja5b 2 ?
lol not enough to call it a sequal imo.

The alloy diff is really a fix for the defective plastic diff in the first version, lifted straight off the Baja SS;
The Baja was available in 1 of 3 random colours before;
The larger muffler is nothing to writing home about, sure its better but not by much - likely its just what the engine manufacturer happens to be be fitting as standard;
Torx engine bolts - are you kidding me? They bothered to name that as an 'extra' - again probably just standard from the engine maker;
VVC/HD Shocks - again lifted straight off the SS to replace the defective hyper adjusts that never quite worked.

Its no Baja 2 but its definatly an improvement. For the Baja's true successor i'd like to see an easy access diff design like they have on the Savage X so the diff can be easily lifted out for maintence which dosn't involve a day taking its rear end apart.
