So several years ago this was a 96 Mazda b4000 that a member named legoms13 built. It was rolled and he did a cab swap to a 2000 ranger, then sold about a year and a half ago. They guy that picked it up thrashed on it and put a new motor in it. When I saw it come up for sale, I had to jump on it.
Here is the old build three where it all started. Hope he doesn't mind me posting his build.

I got it about a week ago, as it sits now it's got about 1000 miles on a rebuilt motor and heads, cut down f150 dana 44 with chromo axles and 4.88 gears aussie locker. Rear is an expo 31 spline disc brake axle with a power trax locker and 5x5.5 axle shafts. It's on 35s and the body is pretty beat. Tub bumper with a winch, has rock lights and light bare that will be rewired as well.
My plan for it is to make a nice driver and camping rig out of it. I just sold my 92 explorer on 1 ton axles, atlas t case and 40s, and I want something that I can cruise around, play on some trails or camp comfortably in.
As it sits now it needs some love on the front end. The heim steering needs to be redone, the track bar heims are worn out, needs wheel bearings, ball joints, and a good scrub down.
I plan on doing some trick storage in the cab and bed to hold camping gear, wire up a nice sound system, and run dual batteries and upgraded alternator, build a rear tire holder on the tube bumper with jerry can rack, install inboard air and tank, clean up some body damage, and use it as much as possible. In the future I may install selectable lockers front and rear as well as a doubler.
Onto the pics. I know that's why you clicked on my build thread
