VA: 1999 Mazda B2500 - Lowered - 5 SPD - 8.8 LSD - Cobra Wheels
Mazda B-Series/Ford Ranger 2.5l 'Lima' Motor with 101xxx miles
5-Speed Manual Transmission w/ Hurst Shifter
01+ Front Grille / Clear Headlights / Corner Signal Swap
Explorer Interior Swap (Bucket Seats, Full Length Center console, Tilt Steering Column, Dome Light)
OEM Chrome front and Rear Bumpers
Drop in Bedliner
35% Window Tint
2000 SVT Cobra OEM 17" Aluminum Wheels
8.8" 31 Spline Big Bearing Clutch Type LSD 3:73 Axle Swap with Disc Brake Conversion
Oversized Explorer Rear Sway bar and Supercab Ranger Front Sway bar
DJM Camber Correcting Upper arms and 2" Drop Lower Control Arms, Belltech 3" Coil springs, Rear Axle Flip and Drop Leafs
Belltech NitroDrop Front Shocks, DJM Rear Drop Shocks
ThorBros.com Bolt-in C-Notch kit (full rear suspension travel, no bottoming out)
Rare 'RPS Blausplash 3-Bolt' Raised Transmission Crossmember (oem member hangs 3" below frame, this is flush to bottom so you never drag it on speed bumps)
Just Replaced Sparkplugs, Wires, Tensioner Pulley, Serpentine Belt, Oil & filter, Trans Fluid, Diff Fluid, PS Fluid
Inspection good until 03/2019
The suspension on this truck was done correctly with all the correct parts, and it rides very good. The front DJM control arm kit corrects steering geometry, bumpsteer, and camber, the shorter twintube shocks all around and the rear c-notch make the truck drive like stock and it has full suspension travel with none of the suspension components maxed out nor do they bottom out or hit the frame. No cut springs here.
The complete rear axle swap was from a 5.0 V8 Eddie Bauer Explorer, which gives it LSD, 3:73 gears, Larger 31 spline axles, "Big Bearing" Tube Flanges, Disc Brakes, and Larger Swaybar, as well as the axle is 1.5" wider overall than the original stock 7.5" axle giving it a better trac-width.
As I am sure most people are aware these Mazda trucks are Ford Rangers with only cosmetic differences in the headlights/grille/bumper and the fenders styling. Everything mechanically, interior, and suspension are identical and interchangeable when it comes to parts and maintenance.
The body does have some dents here and there and the tailgate has some large dents, but overall looks good, truck has no rust.
$3600 OBO all offers considered
Open to discussing any reasonable offers, negotiating with/without various parts or wheels, and possibilities of delivering/meeting up with longer distance buyers. I have 7 cars, which is about 6 cars too many I used this for a play toy and to drive around town getting great gas mileage unlike my other vehicles that don't get the good mileage these little 2.5's get. I just don't drive it enough to warrant keeping registration and insurance on it as it mostly just sits around, so if anyone is interested buying this lets chat...
I do also have a complete airbag system that could go on it, bags/cups/arms/4link/fuelcell/compressor/tank/valves/switches/etc... If a bagged truck is what your looking for.
