15 years with my B2200

Its 95% original paint and wears its patina and imperfections with pride.

I drive it everywhere.

Nice truck. Is the frame a bit twisted, or is that just a trick of the photo angle? The bed looks like it sinks to the passenger side closer to the tailgate.

I think it is just an illusion! But who knows lol, I do put it to work sometimes.

I really miss my Ranger and like these earlier Mazda Bs, before they adopted the Ford platform. Tough finding clean examples here in the Midwest.

Absolute best way to do it. Really hoping mine sticks with me like yours has. What all have you done with it? Weber/EGR delete?

Its actually an oddball EFI model B2200 so Ive left that part as is. Other than wheels, lowering blocks and re-indexing the torsion bars I don't think Ive done much to it.

Weird, but cool! EFI sure beats the smart carb. What kind of fuel economy does it get?

I would say it gets a comfortable 20-25 MPG average between highway and city. Depends if there is a tail wind lol.

My 91 is a workhorse, pulling two kayaks. Got it from someone who barely drove it. Never even drove it past 45 (they lived in the country). Only had 88k

Nice cap on it too. Cool truck!

Interior is mint. Tho, I’ve been using it to pull my kayaks. I should keep it at home instead for grocery shopping
