I recently traded my 91 maxima for this 92 Mazda B2600i extended cab. It has 246xxx miles on it, and so far it has been nothing but a regret. But I've had my mini-trucks in the past and I have the fever so I'm giving it a chance.

Here is what the truck looked like the day after I got it:


Here is what I have done to the truck since the day I got it:
*New Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throw-out Bearing, and Pilot Bearing
*New Valve Cover Gasket
*New Front Crank Seal
*3" Lowering Blocks
*New PCV Valve
*Deleted Air Box (on top of valve cover)
*New Thermostat, Thermostat Housing, and Water Jacket.
*New (out of the JY) Distributor
*New NGK V-Power Copper Plugs
*New NGK Blue Plug Wire Set
*New Inner & Outer Tie Rod Ends
*New Upper & Lower Ball Joints
*New Idler & Pitman Arms
*New Shocks
*New Brakes
*LED Tail Bulbs
*LED Turn Signal Bulbs (Front)
*LED Dome Lights
*Nissan/Datsun 720 Stock 14" Steelies w/ Beauty Rings
*15x8 Wagon Wheels with 185/65/15's Stretched
*Tinted Tail Lights
*Tinted Front Park Lights
*Tinted Front Turn Signals
*Blacked out Grille
*Changed Mazda logo on grille to Script "Cadillac"
*Added Cadillac Logos to "B" pillars behind rear windows
*Re-indexed torsion bars to level front end (PO was an idiot and lowered drivers side only)
*New Radiator

*will update as needed

Plans are the following:
*Tint cab windowsDONE!
*17" Eskies
*4" Blocks
*ExhaustDONE!
*Fix Oil Leak (suspected dizzy oring)
*Custom Center Console (solid front to back w/ speaker mounts)
*Black HID Projector Housings - DONE!
*Possibly a sunroof add (depending if I want to deal with the headache)
*Delete Rear Bumper - DONE!
*Bed Liner/CoverDONE!
*4 Runner Front Bumper
*Interior Mods (Seats, Paint, Crazy Ideas, etc.)
*Replace tailgate (Mine is beat all to hell)
*Maybe Find decent Shell for bed

I'll post pics and updates as they come. New to this forum but so far I love it. I've had quite a few cars and been on forums for almost everyone of them and you always come across a forum where everyone seems to be ass holes. You all seem to be supportive of each other and knowledgeable.

Thanks for looking!

Here is how she sits currently (minus the "cadillac" script on the front):


I'll snap some more pics tomorrow. Oh and if anyone is in the Nashville/Murfreesboro, TN areas please let me know if you have any parts or help. This truck needs some love and I could use someone with some experience with them. She still idles high. (I need an idle screw mine backed out, so I have to hole blocked off so it stays under 2k for now). I just moved here from knoxville and I have no clue where the nearest yard is. I work at autozone so I can get a hold of a lot of parts but Pull-A-Part is cheaper, and sometimes we just can't get it. (Like an idle screw)

Thanks again!

Cleaned her up a bit and tinted the back windows.


All shiny despite the lack of clear coat! lol


My gold caddy emblems from the JY 80's Caddy:

Thank you! She's got a long way to go but like I said before I've got the fever lol. Oh and where did you get your vent visors? I work at Autozone and we can't get them is what it said in our system. And I like the chevy wheels on your truck. I don't like them on the trucks they came on but you made them your own and they look good!

What two leaves did you remove in the rear? I have 3" blocks but all 4 leaves in still so I'm no where near level. How does it handle bumps? do you bottom out everywhere now?
