So i decided to take the mazda on its first offroading andventure... didnt get alot of pics but the truck performed way better then i expected (even on the garbage wranglers). I bought some wrangler mtrs (265/75/16) but they wont be on till tommorrow, anyways enjoy!






So i was definately one of the smallest trucks there lol

Was a good time, only casualty was a cracked mudflap

 

time to burn the old tires off :D

 

Ditch the mudflaps, they suck anyway!

 

looks like fun

 

Looks good! make sure you get some before + after pics with the new tires!

 

looks good. and looks like fun

ditch that exhaust tip thingy. lol

 

Keep the mud flaps... Hell I added front mud flaps to my truck...

 

Nice action shots!

 

I want your mirrors. nice truck.....SAS it!

 

Good lookin truck!

 

lol thanks everyone, heres the before and after pics (my truck is lifted in these pics, drop shackle in the rear and tb crank)


I now need a new mudflap as one fell off. I would leave them off but the fender flares look wierd at the bottom without them

 

Trim them done i've seen some do it on here i'll see if i can find the link for you..

 

Theres the Link check it out.

new tires look great!

 

tires look good....woulda gone with the black out though...still nice

 

was it cranked and shackled before the tires?

 

dude that looks perfect just like you got it,and keep the flaps...

 

yeah it was lifted before, it would be about an inch and a half lower without them. Thanks for the comments

 

Looks great, can we get some close ups of the new tires? Also i'm curious can you crank your t-bars any more to make it level? The reason i ask is because i want to do the same thing you did: crank the tbars and shackle it, but i want it to sit level. I'm also planning to run either 265/75/16's or 275/70/16's...

 

yeah you can crank them more, i just stuck to 4 turns as that seems to be the magic number around here, that and i like the rake that it has front to back. As for pics i will take some and post them up today

 

Mud flaps + serious offroading = torn off mud flaps. Get rid of them before you leave them behind, lol. I backed up into mine at a steep "step" offroad and they got caught between the tire and the terrain and that was all she wrote, as they say.

If you're going to do a lot of water, consider extending your axle/t-case/transmission vents. The cooling effect when you hit water suddenly can cause a suction on these lines, and you don't want them where they can "sip" water.

Nice looking truck!

 

What kind of tires are those? I see Wrangler, are they the same as stock?

I would just take off the mud flaps, I did and yeah the bottom looks weird but it looks better then having the mud flap slapping against the wheel or something

 

Look like they are 265/75/16's since he said he was looking into them in his first post.

 

I think he got the mud terrains.
