Hi all,
I just purchased a 1992 Mazda B2600i LE-5 4x4. However, my first car when I was 16 was a 1988 Mazda B2200 SE-5. I did some mild lowering of that truck - 2" front and rear - plus a Weber 32/36, Pacesetter header, and Dynomax Ultraflow exhaust. Unfortunately I lived on the east coast and it finally got too rusty to salvage, and I had to junk it.
I also had what I'm pretty sure was the first Mazda B-series website - I started it back in 1997 or so. It's long gone now, but does anyone remember it? The address was " target="_blank.
This is my first time with a 2600i or 4 wheel drive - anything I should know or watch out for on this truck? It's very original and I now live in California, so I'm not looking to get too far into modding, but I would like to improve it where I can. I know the tires on it now are about done, what tires do you recommend for these? I think they run 215/75-15s. I'm going to do some mild off-roading - mostly dirt roads and some trails - and it would be nice to be able to get through snow in the mountains without chains. But I do want to keep the truck very streetable as well.

Thanks! I literally took years looking for just the right B with as little rust as possible. I'll have to get some pics from underneath because I have never seen one with basically no rust.
Is it Sunrise Red? I had two 1988 RX-7 GTU in that color and I swear it was more orange than this. From 1989 the shade of "regular red" changed on the RX-7 to more of a true red, but maybe they kept the name the same - I wouldn't know for sure, but I would think the paint code would have changed, wouldn't it?
Luckily the previous owner was also a big fan of these trucks and had much major servicing done, including all the fluid changes.
