hello .. new here (bunch of pics)

[Ship]

just wanted to say hello .. I have myself a 1996 B4000 with 2in body and 2in sus lift .. 33x12.5 Cooper STT's color is army green and looking like a ranger because when I got the mazda it was in ruff shape .. and got the ranger pannels cheep ..

couple pics before the new tires

as we finally pulled her out of Dusty's garage to head home

the ride home .. she drove nice too !!

and she is in my driveway !!!!

ya so .. I put the 35's on .. they were too big .. so sold them and got the Coopers

hope you like .. couple things I want to do to her still ..

Nice truck I really like the color

 

[GB4000]

Awesome truck man.

 

[paxlineman]

thats a sic color

That looks aweome. Did you paint that yourself? I was thinking of doing the same color to mine, it just looks badass. I'm too much of a pussy though and I probably end up painting the rocker panels black, similar to the new FX4's.

hey .. thanks guys ..

yes I painted it myself got it all done .. did some snow wheeling .. here are some pics

and today I got the rear springs rearched and a add a leaf .. now I need to get the front up more ..

 

[Ship]

hey guys .. been doin more work to her .. I hope soon to have drop brackets and stuff to get the front up a bit more .. I removed 2" blocks from the rear end after the re-arch and add a leaf .. but it is still up ..

but today .. I put the box linner back in .. and when walkin trough a local scrap yard I found a set of bed caps from a 01 ranger .. so I grabbed them and put them on the truck .. couple pics .. let me know what you think ..

 

[Bottoms Up]

Nice ranger, and nice baby in the grill! Haha! I have a rear end sag, would the whole add-a-leaf concept help me in the rear sag dept? Looks like it did you good!

EDIT: Nice grab on the bad caps!

 

[Ship]

I had the rear springs re-arched and a add a leaf added .. total was 4" lift .. way to much for my needs .. so that is why I removed the 2" blocks ..

and ya .. the add a leaf would help .. but I would maybe check with a spring shop .. cost me $260 CDN to have the springs arched and add a leaf done ..

 

[Bottoms Up]

I hear ya brother, I have three inches in the front, and I am not sure how many in the rear beings it is sagging, supposed to be three inches rear and back ha, and doesn't sound to expensive! Good idea, I just hope if I search, we have some sort of spring specialty shop around my area. And in those pictures, did you have to pull that Toyota out any on the snow excursion. ;D

 

[Ship]

ya .. I pulled him twice .. he pulled me 4 time .. but .. to my credit .. I was going places he would not .. lol .. found out later the whole I went into 3 time ( 3 of the pulls ) was 6 or so feet deep .. lol .. so I did not have much of a chance getting through ..

why did you put the bolt in backwards?

 

[mazdamayham]

Nice rig, I got a 95 B3000, did you have to do any mods to get the ranger front body mounted? I been thinking of doing the same since there are more aftermarket stuff availible for the ranger style and none for the Mazda.

 

[BSU541]

This is what I love about Rangers and Mazdas. You have a 2 inch body lift and the frame is still hidden pretty well. Stock S-10's have a more more visible frame than a ranger with a body lift.
