Like John said its because it is a sportier look... Thing is I cannot find any tailights for the mazda bed that i like. yet... so still stuck with the stock ones... I forgot the pics this morning and am at work till tomorrow morning i will be doing the drop tomorrow so... I'll take before and afters... along with shots during install for hopefully a nice write up...

oh shoot...that's right...i've never seen any aftermarket tails for the mazda bed.
Here's an idea that you might like to change up those current tails.....

Well i got over to the auto shop and got everything lined up for the install... and after trying my hardest to get the sterring knuckle join to break from the lower control arm in went ahead and threw everything back in the truck and went home....now i am looking at next saturday.... I was the only one working on my truck this past one but this coming weekend I should have the help of at least one other person......definitly a two man job.... pics of the truck as is in the morning.....

truck on stands. jack under lower arm. pop tie rod out, but keep in spindle w/ nun to help keep stuff from moving on ya. 4lb sledge to the hammer spot on the spindle....just below where the bolt/nut is to hold the upper joint in to spinle. might need to possibly spray on some wd40/pb blaster/tc11 to help loosen up the rust between the joint and spindle.
But...glad you got 'er all figured out.

I seen it done with transparent candy apple red model car paint (Testors) and it looks just as good. Plus its only like 3 bucks a can, a small can, but you dont need much.

yeah i just can't get the ball joints on lower control arms to break loose.... i have a pickle for and everything eban a sledge hammer.... still no joy... i have sprayed like and entire can of pb blaster on them also... and no even a millimeter of movement....any ideas??????
jack under the lca...and the jack is actually jacking the entire truck up. wd/pb whatever on top, on bottom. beat the living snot out of the spindle under the upper joint bolt spot where there's that flat spot built for a hammer. Don't forget to keep the castle nut partially on the ball joint so the spindle won't just drop the eff out. lol.
on cory's superlift install...busting his lowers off were one pain the butt....and it's an '07! the master stepped in(me), and i got 'em off. lol.
i find a pickle fork is just too narrow for the ranger.
