I am swapping the front end on my pathfinder to a 99 frontier and I started looking at the mazda. I am trying to figure out a good front end to swap it with, but I dont want it to be a common one. I really like the frontier front end, but it has been done, but if I dont find a better front end, thats the one I am going with.

I thought about a 98 Dakota, but I dont think that front end would work out. I know some people do Ranger swaps, but again, a little too common.

So, does anyone have any good ideas of front ends that would look good on a mazda. I dont want to steal anyones Ideas but I am kind of at a block as far as my Mazda. I am doing my pathy for purpose, not for looks (its a offroad 4x4 and they make more parts for frontiers than they do pathys)

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Mike

What would you guys think about a 1987 Mazda B2000 with a Dodge Magnum Front end?

dodge magnum??how bout a 05 mustang or even new tbird----they would all be cool

the T-bird might be cool, I'll look into that. The mustang I think would be small upfront, I dont know

~94-97 Chevy S10 front clip,the gen before the Colorado/Canyon,but when they still used the sealed beam headlights,rather than the later 98-03 ones.

I think that would look kinda neat. Then put a Ranger step side short box on it.

Then you got yourself a Forza B10.

im puttting a 02 b-3000 grille on my truck by cutting my recent grile, then putting 03 ranger headliights to finish things off... i seen it in the new MT and loved it...lol it was from one of the ausie trucks.....

What grille is this, I know its ranger headlights, but is that a custom grille or is it one from a diff truck


I also looked through minitruckin for that mazda with the newer mazda grille and it looks pretty awsome, but the corner lights look weird. I cant figure out what vehicle they are from. They dont look like stock mazda ones and they are not newer mazda ones, I dont think, I could be wrong. If they make billet inserts, I might do that also. I think I would run a frontier bumper to get away from having to use a toyo bumper. but a ranger bumper would probably look good too.

thanks,
Mike

wait a minute? the MT has come out? where the fuck is my issue? damnitt, this is the 5th time ive been skipped an issue! gadamnitt minitruckin! that front end is sweet! the grille duz look custom, but then i could be wrong. it also kinda looks like the billett t-rex grille for the ranger. i too have been thinking about front ends, just dont know which one i want. i wanna do something different from everybody else.

it looks like the stock chrome one, hacked to make the lights fit then a billet insert, also hacked to fit.
