[Redneck_Offroader]

Hey Guys, i wanna change up my day to day truck, its a 1994 mazda b4000 2wd reg cab auto tranny, it has your basic kid stuff, cherry bomb, cold air intake, wires and plugs. I take this truck where i no it should not be and iv paid the price for doing so..love taking this thing offroading, just not by my self..so..any ideas of what i should do to "spice" up the hot road, open to ALL SUGGESTIONS

just painted the box

fixing the floor

middle or rebuild

inside picture

just brung the old thing home..bought it for 200 bucks and a 24 of keiths..haha

currently lookin like this except it has a 4 ft whip, not a little tiny thing

 

[out cast]

you plannin on lowering it or lifting it 2wd style?

 

[Big Red Ranger]

4 in lift 31 in tires and 4:11 gears that would be a fun little 2wd off roader. You could also make it 4wd and go from there

Im looking to lift it, cant drive this anywheres where i go if its lowered, i like the idea of the 4 inch lift, how much do you think im lookin at for 4:11 gears, and what would be the best was to lift the front. once i get a good solid idea, ill post pictures of the build. this is all i have for pictures for right now and iv done alot to rebuild the hot rod, ground up build to make it road worthy

i was also thinking, halfton rear end under her, what do you guys think about that?would it work and be road legal?dont forget i live in canada, laws suck

 

[Big Red Ranger]

with 4:11 it depends on your axle and i camt see you really needing a halfton enless you are plaining to run big big tires and if you do that you will need to eather shorting it or wideing the front and a skyjacker is an amazing lift

well i think i figured out my build plan, i think i am going to do a front end swap and put a 4wd front end under it, lift it ect. , see if i can make a rig out of it

I have a 94 ranger 2wd with 9 in of total lift and 33 in tires. I only have the 2.3 so I went with 4.56 even when I only had 30 in tires and it made a world of difference.

well as for my build plan, its on a tight tight tight budget,(2 shifts a week at sobeys = 8 hours a week, at 8.10 an hour) but i have found a truck that has a 4x4 front end just needs hubs, so i was in school today thinking of what i could do to the hot rod, and i had the idea to paint it, from various shades of blue, to a gloss black,so, at 3:10pm, went to see the lady friend for a minute, which ended up being a good hour of fighting with her about not being able to do anything with her tonight, came home, sanded and taped and sanded some more, and painted it, so now its about 12:30am and i just finished. from what i could see, it turned out good, i have a very very small garage that is very dirty, but for what i have it came out good, i used armour coat paint and a sprey gun. i will post some pictures tomorrow of it out in the day light and what not, hope you enjoy what i accomplished

so i rolled the truck out of the garage into the beautiful nova scotia weather, which is clouds and dampness, the old girl came out pretty good, i really needed the truck today and i no im gonna kick my self in the arse for takeing it because the paint its still sticky but not wet, if anyone knows what i mean, but besides that, tape is all off and its all back together, ill have pics around 4:30-5:00. but does anyone know why i might not have any brake lights, or signals in the back, they worked last night

 

[Redneck_Offroader]

a few pics, more to come

hey ladys, i got some pict5ures of the new paint job, still have to do some touch ups. long after noon with the lady friend, but, here is what i managed to get its a sample

this is what i get while painting in a dirty ass garage, thats super small, foot aroun the whole truch to paint, and only let it set for 8 hours before i took it out side, not to bad i think, lots of commplements, ENJOY
