So I know this thread is old, but I figured I'd throw my 2 cents in just in case anyone comes accross this and wants to build a Mazda. I had an 87 B2200 that I mildly built, mainly because I had the truck forever and my Pops didn't want me to sell it. There are numerous companies that make glass for the front, which actually looks pretty good. I used 88 Toyota bedsides, but had to do a lot of mods to the bed and the glass had to have a few inches cutt off the front and reglassed to fit the length of the bed. Originally I just had the Fabtech 2.5" kit A-arm with a 3" body lift, and with SAW torison bars, but that kit has been discontinued. Eventually, I had a guy in Riverside, CA (Ruffman Racing, went out of business in 02 I think) build me a long travel kit. It was 4.5" wider per side, with a dual shock set up. He said he upgraded my torsion bars to 300mm (I couldn't afford coilovers), but he was full of sh**. I was in bootcamp at the time, so I get back, pick the truck up, take it through a set of mild whoops, and I broke one of my shocks and bent the shock mount, and the truck dropped in ride height about 1.5" (from undersized torsion bars). In addition to all this, he made the lowers to wide, so my turning radius got cutt in half because the tire rubbed on the inside of the a-arm. To make matters worse, I had to leave in 2 days to drive 3,000 miles across the country for 3 months of training in Virginia. If that ain't bad enough, after my training they send my ass to St. Louis, MO, where there's not a fab shop withing 2,000 miles. About a year later, my heim steering joint rips itself outta the tie rod from corroision, so I had to do some rigging to get it fixed. If you really want a prerunner, whether it be mild or wild, buy a Toyota or a Ranger, thers so many parts and so many shops, stick with what works. I dumped A LOT of money in the Mazda, only to get transferred and not be able to take it with me, so I had to sell it to some redneck who thought it would be a good hunting truck for $500. Seriously. $500. My fu**ing driver seat was worth more than that. Let me know if anybody wants picks, it was a pretty good looking truck.
