Whats up guys, I've been lurking around the forums here for awhile now, so i figured i might as well register. Just wanna say that so far the site seems very informative and helpful in every topic about these mini trucks.

Unfortunately i dont even own a little Mazda as much as id like too... something about the style of these trucks i love. I am how ever bagging an 88 B2200 for a friend of mine hence why im here looking around and planning to pick a few peoples brains with my questions.

A few of you guys might recognize my screen name and / or the pics here from the thread i made over on where i allready posted up asking questions of the best mazda site to check out. Well to fill ya in here, This is how the truck I'll be working on currently sits, the rear got bagged last summer, and the front is in the plans for this summer soon here.

My main questions regard to simple things like whats the easiest way to get the rear eskie wheels to tuck in further? Swap out rearends? and then up front will they tuck fine with the stock 2wd sheet metal?

There isn't much you can do about getting the eskies to tuck in the rear with 2wd sheet metal, other than swapping out rear ends. You might also invest in some 4wd sheet metal that will allow for a bit more clearance.

As far as the front you will be okay, the amount of camber will clear the 2wd sheet metal fine, but again some 4wd sheet metal might be helpful.

All in all you can swap them out for a higher offset wheel, like +40 or higher and be fine...

Welcome to the site!

id love to pick her up a clean 4x4 bed.. but around these parts "clean" just doesn't seem to fit in anywhere. Beds and even the fenders are TOP dollar if you can even find them without rust blowing speed holes all over them.
