Im only considering it but im sick of saying "yea i just got a mazda b3000"
and ignorant sayen "you should have a ford ranger or s-10 and bought amarican"
what exactly this include other than
fleet style sides
new grill
new ford ovals
and taking off all the mazda decals
other than that are there any other differances?
edit: also how much do you think it would cost?

 

Fenders too

 

the front fenders are different too?

 

the chrome trim around your winders

 

i dont have the chrome i think thats only on the 4000s

 

airbag?

 

brenton is the person to talk to he swapped a ranger front end on his b4000

 

You'll need the following.

Hood
Fenders
Grill
Lights
Bumper
Valance
Steering Wheel if possible
Debadged tailgate or Ford emblems on tailgate.
De-stickered bed and replace with STX or stock Ranger 4x4 Stickers.

(Remember, STX uses the Mazda bed)

 

Seats are different upholstery, 01+ gauges are different too.

 

ouch ive been looking for a project truck ill just get a ranger and drive the mazda till i finish

 

I'll have Mountaineer Seats in on Saturday

 

Listed in this thread are if you wanna go ***** out on it. Just the front end...you do need hood, header panel, grille, headlamps, bumper, and fenders. Mazda fenders work 'okay', but the fit and finish of the ranger corner lamps on them are a little odd.

 

yea im goin to to get som explorer seat and a full console hopefully tomorrow and use mine as chairs as i just trashed my couch

 

just find someone whos willing to swap their ranger into a mazda. I know i would be down.

Just use the opportunity to inform and enlighten.

 

Tell them that when you pop the hood it says Ford.

Anyone with half a brain knows Mazda is owned by ford so it really wouldn't bother me. haha

 

lol wow, you really know how to manage your money.

whats the ****in point?

 

Whats the ****ing point of this comment? Its not your money he is managing

 

tell the ignorant morons that the ranger isnt american either.
it was engineered by the japanese, its a japanese truck. thats why it didnt suck.

they slapped ovals on it and sold it here, and it was SO POPULAR that they stopped it in 2012 because it was eating into their f150 sales at twice the price for only 25% more capability overall with 10x the failure rate and much higher service costs.

 

HOLY THREAD RESURRECTION BATMAN!!! lol
