Hey everybody.
This is the Story of How I got my truck, What has been done to it over the 2 years, and What Im going to be doing to it.
(I named it the Yo-Yo because of how many times it's been lifted and lowered.)
It isn't show worthy, or anything like that..but its something I enjoy working on.
If you feel like reading/looking at what I've done to my truck in the time I've had it, read on.
Im going to start working on it pretty much everyday again soon, at the end of April..once school is done.
Please leave some comments and tell me your opinions, and leave me some ideas!

I bought this truck in June, 2006 for $600 in Thunder Bay, from a buddy. It needed a transmission and a few other things. Before I bought it, The truck used to have 2 18"s and hit around 150dB.
Me and the Mazda
My B2000, Stacey's Camaro
My B2000, Albert's Passat
Pretty Clean
Bought some 00 GMC Yukon Denali rims for $200. Got them machined for $140 (I know....I know.....), Tires and Balancing for $500 in December 06, and threw them on the same day. Yep...Late winter.
One week after they were put on, drove across Ontario. Stupid me, look where it got me by the time I got to Sudbury...didn't have time to change the rims.
Got sick of the whole lowered thing by Spring 07.
Added some Deer Killers, Lift, and Tires.
I could fit 4 bottles of Jagermeister under my bumper.

I tried selling my Denali's for the longest time with no bites. At the same time, I heard about a carshow in Winnipeg, Manitoba..8 hours from where I live. I said hey...maybe I'll try this again. I picked up some 4" Blocks as opposed to the 3" I had before and lowered it again one afternoon.
Raybrig White Sonic's
3 200lb guys, 300~ pounds of wheels/tires/gear in the back on the way back from the Summer Shocker. 4" Blocks/Torsions as Low as they would go/205 40 17s.
Two beautiful ladies at the Carshow that wrote on my chalkboard hood.
Found out I had got accepted to a Millwright course in Sudbury. I sold my lowering blocks and denali's, and a few other things to pay for school expenses
Two pictures after we went to a swimming hole, and some girls had thrown clay all over my truck lol.
A pit in Sudbury I went for a little drive through.
31"s in the front, 33"s in the back..no lift. At this point I had decided that I wanted to build something big. Building this truck for clearence mostly now, not going to be taking it through the mud or anything like that...But it will still be very capable.
33x14.5 in the rear, 33x12.5 up front with no lift. This is the point I am at right now. I want to put a 3" bodylift and shackle/balljoint spacer lift in.

little burnout

Damn I didnt realize your truck had been up and down so many times. I always liked the way it looked lowered with the denalis. Lookin forward to seeing how it looks all lifted up though. What happened to your box?

Thanks, I think i might do another mini a short while down the road with Denali's or the new Chevy 20"s
The box was a victim of a little hit and run in a parking lot just before christmas. Im going with a flatdeck, But also cutting about a foot or so off the frame at the same time.
