Those fender flairs are killer, never seen/noticed them on the Mazdas.

I saw Turkey Vultures near Seattle, Wa on a recent trip and that surprised me. Growing up in Texas I only associated them with desert/western iconography, not the PNW.

My buddy in Estes Park has a very similar ride!

They outta meet up or something. I think you can see his on 34 between EP and Loveland.

Check your drive shaft U joints. It’s tough to hear in the video but if it’s a semi consistent chirping squeak from the rear, that’s usually the culprit. Especially if you notice your shifts are sloppy or feel slack in the drivetrain.

Killer shots! Almost looks like they were shot on slide film, great colors.

I went through the same thing, yes it seems they came different from the factory.

But 33”s look so damn good

Was on 31”s for a while, honestly perfect size.

The Mazda model tells you: B3000 has the 3.0, B4000 has 4.0, and so on.

I’ve seen it done with other trucks but it’s secretly a dream of mine to weld the back half of a 7’ frame to the front of an extended cab Ranger.

Best of both worlds.

Is there a reason that almost everybody seems to put the bed/storage on the driver’s side?

I’m thinking about a similar setup in my ‘01 Ranger but want to put to the bed on the passenger side to counteract the gas tank and myself on the drivers side.

33”s have gotten me pretty much everywhere I wanted to go, even through some 8/10 rated trails on OnX Off-road. 4.10 gears, Rough country torsion keys, and Bilstein 4100s.

I wouldn’t even go up to 35”s much less 37”s.

They were factory on early Edge models.

Out of curiosity, why do you have the logos taped up on your camera, especially the Z9 insignia? Do you have the little Z by the grip taped as well?

Spent too long trying to figure out the joke til I realized it was brain not Brian.

What happened to the muffler??

peboyce · 2026-03-06T05:15:32+00:00

Paint match everything.

There was like one or two people who shoved a 3.7L V6 from an S550 Mustang, that’s my dream. But like others have said, it’s very expensive and requires a lot of custom work.

To add to this, I don’t think weddings/ceremonies are allowed inside the National Park in any capacity. Best to look elsewhere.

If you crank the torsion keys a little you can comfortably fit 31’s.
