New from North Alabama

Hi, my name is Jeff Horton. I just bought a 92 Mazda B2200, I have been in mini-trucks since high school. I got my first one in 1992, it was a 86 S-10. I couldn't wait to lower it, so one of my friends introduced me to a guy, and he cut the front coils, he recommended this much and I told him more. So I bounced around for awhile. Until I was riding around one weekend and came in contact with a guy that was in a S-10 that was SLAMMED and riding great. Remember this is 1992!!!!! Well I went to a junk yard and got some new springs and they cut those, including c-notch the frame front and rear. Factory spindles and it rode great and didn't wear the tires either. We were riding on 14's then cause that was the smallest tire you could run then. I drove around to late '93, that's when everyone was getting into cars. So we sold or traded our trucks in. I traded mine in on a '94 Cavalier, I drove it for 6 months and I was wanting a truck again so I traded it on a '94 Nissan Hardbody. It was a Super Black Reg.cab 4cyl. 5 speed XE package. I really loved this truck. I had lowered this one with spindles and leavesin the rear w/air shocks. It was probably lowered 5/5. I went from the factory chrome 14's to some 14" LA wires to 16" Centerline Scorpions on some 205/40-16. That is before euro lights and we all had blackout covers. Well I drove it until early "97, traded it in on a '97 S-10 4cyl 5 spd reg.cab. Well I lowered it 5/5 spindles and leafs and had some mods done to it. I kept it until '07 it had a blowed head gasket so I sold it, I had already fixed one and replaced the motor, so I was ready for it to go. So now here in '10 I have bought a '92 Mazda B2200 reg.cab SE-5 5 spd. 100% stock. It's red in color. I'm wanting to build it like I always wanted a mini-truck: Bagged, Body dropped, Suicide doors, 20's or 22" I'm 38 yrs old, but I still like minis. I'm married with a 9 yr old son. That's about it, so if you want drop me a line or talk to me in chat. Later.
