just cruisin around this lil spot in marin after a mtn bike ride, lots of dirt bikers ride this place





















couple vids (may not be viewable for a lil bit)

 

looks like fun melt
you are the only guy ive seen on here that wheels there stock 2wd as hard as you do
lol at the mudflaps dragin

 

you're so gangsta!! lol glad you had a good time!

 

that's great. i love 2wds out screwing around. Reminds me of when i'd take my 2000 Mustang into the river bottoms and pray to not get stuck.

 

vary niiice
ya, can we rid of those mudflaps now????

 

I'm tellin' ya...it would have been soooo much awesomer with a 2/3 under it! lol.

 

i don't know if someone wheeling an unlifted, stock tire 2wd truck alone is Gangsta or insane.
i guess if you like doing that then thats all that matters.
me, i'm too scared to even wheel my 4x4 with A/T 32's because of all the horror stories of people "breaking stuff" while wheeling and i can't afford the cost to fix it or have a place to fix it.

 

That first pic up on the tracks is sick. Needs to be your avatar.

 

Melt, after seeing this



Makes me really think you should slam that thing on some twanks!

 

There are not enough slammed, let alone modified Ranger-based Mazdas out there.

 

:stupid. I've thought for quite a while that he should drop it. Nice flex on the tracks.

 

It would look sick with a drop. It just sucks that considering how popular Rangers are, everybody ignores the Mazdas yet they're the same truck.

 

seeing how much he wheels with his truck and goes camping often it would be a bad idea to drop it although it would look sick

 

Michael Savage FTW!

 

Then don't go wheeling. Simple as that.

If you are afraid of breaking your truck, can't afford to fix it, and don't have another vehicle to drive, then I would say don't wheel the **** out of it.

If you want to take it out every once in a great while go for it. That's what Melt is doing, obviously.

 

lol ive got the integra that preceded this truck stuck in the river bottoms a few times, my favorite is when we used some regular *** tie downs to get it out cause i didnt have a strap with me

like the title says its a fairly easy place just a big hill and a few berms and such. As for breaking stuff as long as you arent rockcrawling in high burning up your clutch or hitting mudholes doing 50 i think the trucks are pretty well built and arent gonna break stuff too easy. Not sure why you have 32s if you dont wheel, and dont tell me snow cause your truck would be fine on 29s for that purpose.

I dont "wheel" alone in mud anymore after getting stuck in wisconsin last summer. And i always have a tow strap in the truck so if i do get stuck when out alone hopefully someone nice comes along eventually.

i was about to buy a thunderbolt 2/3 from shanes brother and had some unexpected expenses come up, then after i started thinking about it more it seems like while i dont off road a lot, i do go enough to enjoy it somewhat and think that while being lowered would be cool 90% of the time, the 10% when i wouldnt mind rollin stock height would suck

As for mazdas, when i found out they were the same truck i figured it would help me broaden my search, and its what i ended up with.

 

bad a$$! love the pics man,those are awesome!

 

I want your front valance.

 

lol did you break yours?

 

forget 2/3 go 4/5

 

LOL i love seenin the 2wds layin the smack down!!! way to stuff that tire and lay down that mud flap!!

 

Sweet, found my next car.

 

your truck would be perf lifted enough to fit; polished 15x8 with a 31in bfg at , imo,
it looks great by the way

 

Michal Savage FTMFW. Physcological nudity is a great book as are all his others. Nice flexing. I have done some crazy stuff in my 2wd's. I vote not to slam it because that 10% of you will get really mad when you wanna go play.

 

yea i went to savages live performance back in 04 at the concord pavillion, it was awesome
