We started with a 1998 Mazda B4000 4x4, Im not a fan of the mazda logo and the front headlights so we started the transformation of the mazda into a ranger and dubbed this project the "DANGER MANGER"

Stock


Fender removed for fitment of a fiberglass replacement


another shot


Trimmed the inner fender back about 7" I will be bending and TIG'n some aluminum replacements in the future


Out of the box fitment from Perry's Fab'N'Fiber was pretty good in my opinion



Passenger side

 

some used 33" Baja Claws on steel street lok rims




I say big improvement




We will be finishing the rear with glass over the weekend. Front and rear prerunner bumpers to follow,
bed cage to to handle longer shocks, chevy 63" spring under swap to an explorer 8.8 31 spline rear axle with disc brakes, shackle reversal with Belltech shackles, (I am hoping to net around 16" of travel in the rear)
I will be adding a Blu Star HID kit to a set of newer clear ranger headlights
and O ya Going to drop in a 5.0ltr...... That'll make it boogy

 

Starting on the rear box sides required drilling all the spot welds off the top rail.


fender bender from the previous owner


getting the old box skin off



pile of parts


trimming the corner of the box required for clearance


trimmed up


nice fit with the taper in rear of the box sides


small difference from stock


good fit

 

Got a little greedy when I cut the old skins off left a little hole




from the inside


added some ranger taillights


33" claws and fiberglass in place.






Box still usable

 

Awesome brandon! this isnt replacing your BCST ranger is it?

 

HAHA this the BCST manger. Just posting how it got to that stage, as well as some recent updates that have just happened or are going in very shortly.

 

gotchya. its a awesome truck, thats for sure! what have you done suspension wise?

 

stock for now. NEAR Future plans include, rear budget baja leaf pack that we are developing. Price point should be approx $400 for a pair with poly bushings Lift heights from 1.5" to 4" with a shackle inversion should net around 16" travel.
Also we are developing a coilover conversion with uniball UCA's and an extended coil tower. but shhhhh thats supposed to be a secret.

 

id love somethin i can add to my lift spindles to get some nice travel. BUT, if i want that im shelling out a TON of cash. but hey, its only money right?

 

new gauges from black cat customs

 

You guys are nuts!
wish i had seen this earlier. Truck looks damn good.

 

Gauges look sweet! If only you guys were in the states. lol

 

Those gauges are awesome!

 

Lookin good! Any pics of them installed yet?

 

Cool mods.

 

Sick A$$ dude!

 

Stoked!

Amazingness. I'd ask how much those cost to get made but ummm never mind. Not trying to see what your cost/markup is. lol

 

Looks good so far.

 

gauges this weekend just need to pick up some paint for the nearly white needles. not sure if im gonna go bright green or bright orange. anyone have a differnt suggestion for those?

 

new seats from PRP (daily driver model) they makem any fabric and color choice at no extra charge. We are Canada's biggest supplier for PRP.


Sorry about the grainy pics. their from my crapberry

 

Cool seats!

 

Since the seats are green I would say green gauges. Are the gauges available for purchase or are they custom?

 

They are custom from this place http://www.blackcatcustom.com/products.htm
I also got the LED kit for the cluster as well.

 

Very nice... looks great with your logo stitched in!

 

I think the gauge needles would look cool black. I mean it has white backing so I'm sure you would have no problem seeing them. plus it would be kinda different. Go along with your theme/ company logos. White, green and black. Your set. Just a though.
