1992 Mazda Navajo yet again being reborn

Thats right my 1992 Mazda Navajo is being reworked for another time. The First step I chose to take was a refreshed Body with a custom Paint job. Also on the plans are to install new Front axle that I have Built with Cut and Turned Beams and f-150 knuckles. Rebuild the rear axle with larger bolt pattern to match Front useing Dutchman Axle shafts. I hope yall guys forgive me but I have no plans to use it off-road after it is complete. This is my Daily Driver and It more or less going to be for show. Even though its more show its going to have every thing it needs to make it go. Its going to be set up for off-road and can be used any day off road I just have chose to drive it on the Road.

OK!, ok, ok I'm here! Sorry I'm late, my dog ate my home work!


Kris it was really good to talk to you on the phone the other day, it's been a while, nice to talk with you to Randle, there again it's also been a while.

Kris if that thing didn't look kickass before now it looks even better, damn it that rig is sweet!

Great work sir and yes please keep us updated with the info and pics, as a matter of fact I just got through locking up the rear of mine for the second time, last friday, the periods of getting around to working on our own junk seems like forever sometimes.

P.S. you'll get a call from me soon about the Navajo wheels we talked about on the phone, again thanx

Sorry for no updates on this.. I ran in to an Unexpected Problem with the alignement on my axle. So the Solution was different Drop brackets. And forget the junk ones that come in the kits so I got a 4" skyjacker ones and had a custom driver side axle pivot made out of one that would handle what I was going to put it thought... Yeah it weights 26 lbs. think will be strong?

Also had a problem with my 8.8 with the 4.56s and ARB.. The Carrier pin bolt was broken inside the carrier Pin. Yeah so that had to drilled out..

But its moving along. Hopefully january..

Geesh, sounds like one of my projects...always takes twice as much $$$ and 4 times as long as it would on any other truck.

that bracket = beefy!

 

[Kris Guilbeaux]
