Bed covers for the Baja are very rare and basically all discontinued.

Suspension is next on the list... Not sure which way to go.

Unproven rally style coilover suspension https://flatoutsuspension.net/collectio ... s/baja-grl

or more proven KYB's and King Springs https://www.rallitek.com/assembled-stru ... -2003.html and https://www.rallitek.com/assembled-stru ... -2003.html

That was my first inclination too but they use a higher spring rate and longer springs to get the lift. I'm concerned it'd ride terribly off road. The rally style seems like it'd be more fun and better riding all around. Just teh company is a bit of an unknown.

How important is reliability for you? If not too much and this is truly a toy and you are using disposable income, try it.

meh, there arent many good options for long travel on a subaru. If you want a lift drop the coin on a Subie lift OZ. or just do 2" spacers on the suspension tops. kings suck and actually give you less travel.
