You see, Lance gives his buddy Ty full credit for what you see before you. Anyone who's in the show scene knows some of the history of this truck. But that doesn't take away from what's so special about it. This truck is just as special to the scene today as it was several years ago when it began its creation. Starting out, this 1989 Mazda B2000 had to be set to a comfortable level. In order to do this, a 2 ½ inch body drop was performed, lowering the body down over the frame rails quite nicely. In order to lift the truck from it's laid out state, Firestone airbags were installed at all four corners, utilizing large 3/8" line and fast electric valves in the 3/8" variety. In the rear, a custom c-notch and 4-link allow the Mazda to lay completely out.

To keep people shaking their heads from show to show, large wheels were a necessity. With that in mind, the folks at Nitro were contacted. Up front, Nitro Hollywood in the 18" variety were installed wrapped in 225-25-18 rubber. Out back,, large Nitro Hollywood 20"s were installed, with 245-35-20 rubber wrapped around them.
