B2000 drift truck build

stock mounts vs. BEEF mounts

dang man those are sweet and beefy haha.

Nice work on the mounts! Wish I had the equipment & skills to weld aluminum but oh well. Good luck on the rest of the build.

got alot done today but mot much picture worthy.

Pressure washed entire frame and painted some rust.

ball joint flip



bump stops and shock mounts gone



worked some decent angle out of the stock steering system



not a really good steering design for drifting but it will work for now. maybe rack and pinion later.

hours and hours with a toothbrush and lots of solvents

Let me know if you need help with the rack & pinion, I bought one made by Flaming River for my Toyota. It is a narrowed pinto rack and has a near perfect width for my application. I think the Toyota and Mazdas have a similar frame dimensions.

I'm really loving this build, great work on the motor mounts!

Can you come clean my engine next?

Hey thanks. Im designing a system that will be slow ratio going straight ahead and a faster ratio the further you turn. We will see if it works out.

Not bad for being older than I am



timing system is a little worn, ill replace it soon. Along with making an adjustable cam sprocket.



I NORMALLY HATE BLOCKS, but ill make a temporary exception.



getting there. It will be 2" lower in the back when done.



and im making some of these. They will help with rear suspension movement when sideways.

Small worthless updates I know, but im trying to get a little done every day and alot done on the weekends.

I could drop the cab back on but the driveshaft is holding me up. I cant find a slip yolk for a 240 and Im not sure if just any one out of a hardbody will work.

Anyone know anything I dont?

i think the slip yolk from a 240sx will work. the s13 is a solid connection while the s14 is a u joint. mpt sure if you are going to run a 2 pc or a solid driveline. if solid for sure the s14
