Mazda B-Series (B2200/B2500)

[azzkkr2600]

Actually, for some reason my shop couldn't get the color right. I simply wanted to return to the original color(cream daw eh sabi sa CR ko) but I got a lighter shade instead. Apparently the based the color on the gas tank cover which was already faded. Kaya ayun, mukhang faded color pa rin sya kahit an repaint na. LOL.

I'll try to find your album here sir. Nangangapa pa ako sa site. hehehe.

*bors - Thanks sir. The ride should be the same as most stock mazda B2200 since it's just a body-lift. I removed the Banawe-installed "suspension lift" when I installed the current body-lift. I still use stock-length shocks though they have been replaced with KYB Gas struts a long time ago. BTW- are there RANCHO shocks available for our trucks?

However, due to my Truck's double-duty as a service vehicle for our business I've added 2 "leaves" to each of the rear leaf springs to improve its heavy-loading abilities and that has caused my ride comfort to suffer considerably. I'm looking for a "helper-spring" kit though so I can return my rear leaf springs to the original spec and yet retain a heavy-load capability with the helper-spring.

*duskylim- thanks for the info regarding prices of engines there in Manila. Di rin pala magkalayo sa presyo ng mga makina dito sa Davao. Of course, you have a broader pool to select from over there which is a big plus when searching for a good unit.

sir, rancho shocks are available for our mazda trucks. in fact, mine's equipped with rs9000x 9-way adjustable front and rear. u can also opt for rs5000 which is almost half of the 9000x's price. length of each depends on the height/setup ofyour truck.

helper springs? get the loadplus brand. available here in manila. but i think it's also available there..? price range P3000-P4000.

kindly backread & check some photos of our trucks here in this thread as wells as in the EB thread.

thanks,

Thats great to know sir. The last time I checked kasi, sabi sa akin na rear-shocks lang daw ang meron Rancho RS5000. For the front shocks, wala daw kasya na Rancho shocks. I guess the Rancho lineup has expanded since I last checked or maybe my local dealer just didn't get the complete lineup since Mazda shocks are slow moving compared to the late-model trucks.

I'll also search for that loadplus brand. Ty for the tip.

the last time i checked the price of Rancho RSX9000 is 8.2k and RS5000 is 4k flat at Rats here in Quezon CiTy. unbelievably, kung kelan ayaw ko na magrancho eh tsaka naglabasan yun mga RS5000 na stocks, pati narin sa nirecommend ni ronn na shop dati sa 199 off road haus sa tondo eh 4k din yun price nila.

maiba naman tayo. since iba na ang president, this coming july eh 300% increase na ang iimplement sa toll fees ng SLEX. im confuse kung anu yun itataas nila ng 300%? yun minimum toll fee ba or lahat ng exit ay 300% na? for example, galing akong Nichols then ang exit ko is canlubang which is 87php, kung implemented na eh magiging 261php na sya.

hindi ko naman magets kung bakit consumer nanaman ang magshoulder ng expense sa connection ng StarToll Way from SLEX [Calamba] to Balagtas Exit [Batangas]. Hindi pa ba tax sapat ang natin? kaya nakakatamad magdala ng sasakyan.

Ron, hello. That FRAM oil filter TG3950 is not for our MAZDA and is not available. The book says we got the same filter.

Quick update!

Hi guys, quick update lang. Finished the topcoat already. The bedliner is next, then the little parts like the door panel on the cab. Here are some pics:






The color is metallic dark green. It looks like black when light is not present but when under the sun, the green is shown. So its kind of a two tone effect. Pros: maganda yung kulay. Cons: mahirap ulitin yung kulay, so I had to order extra paint for it. (wag naman sana, pero baka mabangga ulit para may spare color ako. hehe.)

I was talking to boss Ronn the other day, as I mentioned, I am an all around IT guy here at 199 Off Road House, so I've been helping with a lot of stuff here. Nabanggit din ni boss Ron na sa next EB maybe you guys are intrested to visit the shop. And see the progress of my truck. hehe. Since most daw doesnt know how to get here, he suggested that after the EB, we could go straight here. I could give the club discounts if ever you guys need help too!

* sir pigface: suggestion... wag mo na ibalik yun body side mouldings and mud guards. pampagulo lang yan e. dyan pa dumidikit ang dumi. dumating na ba swamper tsl/bogger tires mo and 15x8 alloy wheels? maganda dyan chrome / brushed aluminum / dark bronze / gun metal color for your truck. by the way, are you guys selling spare tires/wheels?
