    2013 Black Baja Access Cab
    Bajas could be had in all flavors of OR - tow or not, access cab or 4 door, auto or manual. This was the only black, AC, auto that I could find, so I'm upgrading for towing on my own. The hitch was there with a 4-pin connector when I bought it. I've added a factory oil cooler and factory trans cooler already. It's got a much better battery and the tow-pack alternator is on my bench right now. I'll convert to a seven wire plug when needed.

    I’m rebuilding my LCAs and decided to add a built in skid plate. Used 1/4” since that’s what I had. Holy moly this thing is beefy.

    I'm also going to wrap this around the eye and tie into the arm for extra strength.

    Rotate and balance (had to return twice for a rebalance) at discount tire, alignment at firestone (slightly higher caster dialed in but they refused to do my custom specs) and it pulls slightly to the right.

    Basically, got a rotate, unbalanced my tires and barely my caster but mainly no improvement my alignment. So.... wasted a day.

    A lot of crap and too much money spent
    The wrap around the eyelet is what I was wanting to do for sure.

    Going to leave the bolts and flares how they are, would've liked black bolts better.
