Baja Build - Portals, 37's, Gear, Fuel, GPS, etc.!

[Exodus 4x4]

Your video was a HUGE inspiration in this build. I can't thank you enough for posting in earlier this year.

Yesterday was day 1 with EXO in Baja and was a blast! The rig drove far beyond expectations and was faster and more nimble than most of the full-size Raptors with many of them dragging their rear diffs through the San Felipe woops.

RR is AMAZING.

Thank you! I agree, it’s such an amazing little bad ass. I’m flying out to pick mine back up the Friday and can wait to show everyone the new upgrade! It’s eating me alive keeping it a secret lol.

But awesome rig man, enjoy the hell out of it!

It looks like it settled quite a bit with the miles. Looks perfect now!!! The portals are soooooo tempting!

Fantastic looking build! Nice work, sir.

Did you do anything special with the switch setup for the baja designs lights or just the OEM overhead unit?

Switch Pro.

Switch Pro.

Thanks! Did you 3D print the insert/bezel yourself? Looks awesome.

Hey! The build looks insane. I have a fee questions about the portals - I've just installed mine but im stuck trying to find wheels that fit..

I'm based in the UK, so we have fewer options in tyres so moving to 18s simply isn't as easy.

I have the 74 weld wilwood kit - they said stock wheels and method 703s should fit - the stock wheels absolutely don't.

I'm at bit of a loss as I had to run 60mm spacers to get home from where we fitted them... thats not a suitable solution. Do you have any pics of your wheels with calipers?

What rails are you using on the floor of the bed to secure the tire and jack?

I'm running Method 703 in size 17" with 25 setback. Falken 37" x 12.5. You have poke so we're adding KNINE fenders shortly. But, I've ran a bunch of trips stock fenders.

Great question and this is "do as I say, not as I do." The original builders used a basic system and had to drill holes in the bed. Not happy because we then had to add more holes when we relocated things.

Suggest @American Adventure LAb rails that they subsequently developed. Sorry I don't have pics of those. We now hove amazing layout with 37" tire, Pro Eagle Jack, AAL gas can holders, integrated ARB dual brushless compresesor and integrated power for Starlink plus MaxTrax Xtreme boards, shovel and fire extinguisher.
