Re: How to: Rear disc brake conversion for stock Ranger rear end

For later model Rangers/ Mazdas, noticed that the 2011 Mazda B4000 comes from factory with rear disc brakes. Anyone else pick up on this, and if so, are parts available to adapt prior models?

Re: How can I tell if my truck used to be an automatic?

Hi - New to this forum. Own 2007 Mazda B4000 with plenty of mods, and hopefully more to come. More interested in performance than appearance, but a little bling doesn't hurt.
