Subaru Swapped Baja Bug Gets A Serious Suspension Upgrade

In this episode of the Baja Bug Build, we take what we learned from our dune trip and fix all the problems. We install 3x3 extended control arms and widen our front beam by 6 inches! Be prepared for lots of cutting, welding, machining and custom garage engineering.

Three things 1. I dig the project 2. I dig the fab work 3. I dig the wholesome content

Missing out on a lot of travel in the rear. You can take a 930 or a bus CV to 24 Degree angle. but you would have a lot more work to get there, good thing it can be done in the future. Nice work!

Thanks for making this seem much more affordable and doable! What was the trailing arm kit you used?

[@jvh22a]

Awesome work

[@dubarex]

Have you had any issues with the fuel pump being mounted so far from the tank?😅

[@samlwanga9597]

Good project.

[@justinhanssen3375]

Hey man where did you buy those trailing arms at?

[@Miklethun]

Love the build, starting my Baja bug journey now. What front disc brakes are those?

[@TIRESIDE]

Wish I knew, they just came on the beam that I bought.

[@mitchtorrie7933]

JBugs sells those

Ah man, you missed the opportunity to sleeve your whole tie rods. You had the right concept to lengthen, but that sleeve should have gone nearly from rod end to rod end. I've seen so many bent like noodles, and that was before they were cut...

[@TIRESIDE]

I guess if I end up bending them, this is what I’ll do!

[@nickHailey]

Ik this is random af but I definitely used to ride bmx with you down at the newberg skate park😂

[@TIRESIDE]

No way? How long ago? Haha
