Seattle Mazdawg

you didnt use your old girls toothbrush b4 she left? that might have been one hell of a way to tell her to take a hike... mine likes to moan groan bitch and complain about my mini... but i dont let that interfere with the relation i have with either of my two girls (truck and my actual girl).

Haha, LMAO bro, naw i have a shoe box full of different sized toothbrushes, my bro used to have a 88 De'Elegance Brougham with 22" 150 spoke wires, we both spent some time sittin on buckets washing them wheels, glad my rims are easier to get clean. But 200-300 for the weber, sounds good.

Also interested in:

Full back window (how much does this cost?)
Yota front bumper conversion (what needs to be done to get he job done, anything custom to the truck/bumper?)

As always, keep it low and slow ...

hey twamp22, check craigslist or a local pull a part... i know the arlington one had several b series, and i noticed a lot of solid rear windows... i think you could pick it up for under $30. ive heard you have to cut the back half of the yota mounts off, and weld it to the mazda mounts... not sure if that is correct or not... havent seen a how to yet... i know im going back up to pull a part after this weekend to get the gold 4x4 bed that is on the truck i got my fenders off of if its still there... i might be able to pick up the window for you and drop it off on one of my runs to or from seattle for work...

Damn 30$ thats dope, been waitin to drop my subs and amp in my truck casue i got the slide back window, but damn 30$... hmm where you from anyways, i used to ive up in granite falls, glad i moved from there, hehe but at the moment im in Puyallup... very interesting tho... im broke as a joke but 30 bucks aint shit.. hmm honestly lol, never thought about goign to pull apart for the window, thats a damn good idea always thought they were custom, didnt think would be there i guess... i got a couple pull aparts down here, might have to get off my ass and peep em out

either way thanks for the reply always helpful, my bro welds like a mofo

funny you say granite falls... i live in lake stevens... the last two mazdas that i have bought were both solid back window... ive bought one std cab, and one ext cab...

wierd small world

i drive shuttle bus in the seatac/water front seattle areas on the weekends... i just dont have a lot of time while im down there cause i have to get back up here to get to my other job...

man....wheel acid for the spokies....and high pressure....soooooo much easier. LOL! I did a lot of caddys with wires on my full custom details....and the hell if I was gonna sit there for four hours scrubbing them damn things. LOL!

Yota bumper, you gonna need to make some brackets to mount it

haha dont be lazy now jim, its only an hour per wheel

Alright i said i would keep yall updated.

My front passenger side tire was a bit bald, figuring that it has to do from what i assume was a torsion bar lower, which has kinda messed up the camber, and/or alignment. So i bought a new tire up there im rolling 215/40R/17s hard to find used at all let alone with any tread so i went to les shwab and jsut got a new one, and while i was at it i got some 35$ front factory shock replacements. I couldnt get the rim off myself casue the two front rims each had a locking lug, and i got the truck with no key.

So with:
two shocks = 72$
1 new tire 215/40R17 = 77$
removing two locking lug nuts = 20$
sold me two new lugs = 3$
a shiny chrome valve stem cover = 7$ (must have been missing one)
balanced the new tire = 12

for a not so bad total of 249$ after sales and tire tax...

Well enough yapping heres a few new pics i took one is showing the front passenger tire, and one is showing the new shock and the other are showing my truck dDUH

hope yall enjoy

Question though.... Should i have bought differnt shocks due to the fact that its lowered... or factory ones good to go ? or ... it seems to have a little more life (the suspension) but it seems to bounce a bit more, not too much really its still the same-ish but does have some more bounce after a bump. so im thinking perhaps i should have went with soemthing more stiff ?

You guys are wise lemme know would ya ?
