Well guys, the time has come to let the mini go in hopes of building another...

I am pretty set on the deal, but let me know what you think...?

I am going trade the mini for another b2200 std. cab with approx. the same mileage as mine. Its completely stock with 4wd hood/fenders and in fairly decent shape...The guy is also giving me $1500 cash...And I get to keep my wheels..

I already tore the truck down as most of you know, and purchased new air mgmt. such as 'bags, tank, valves etc...But I still have the old air mgmt. So I can throw the truck back together with the old stuff, and the only thing I will lose is the bed...Which I didn't want anyways...BUT I will have $1500 cash in my pocket....

So I will build this truck with the information I have learned, and it will be even better than mine...

So let me know what you think...Here are some pics of the truck..

clean truck plus $1500 and you keep your wheels...... at least its still a mazda but honestly it seems like just a step back its your truck just with out all your work done to it. But $1500 on top of the truck seems like a good deal just my two cents.

I hear ya man, but I have learned soo much since I 'bagged my mazda that I would like to re-do most if not all of it....So why not start fresh with the same vehicle? Would be a lot easier...

I appreciate the comments!

Totally agree with you on getting a fresh start. I know I've built rigs it would have been easier to start fresh after learning better and right ways to do things. This is something I have to keep in mind when building mine. I have to do it right the first time no matter the cost.

Well, I did do it right the first time with the knowledge I had...

But I have learned better ways to do things, and different styles as well! So it will still be done right, just better...Lol!

yeah, you can look at it in the driveway or driving down the road and be completely satisfied. That's what your going for right?

Yeah, thats what I am going for....When I was done working on it, thats what I thought...Now I don't have that same thinking....

So, I am going to get it back with this new truck....and then down the road do it again, I'm sure...Lol!
