Ride Details

Original Cost
1800
What was the inspiration?
To piss off all those people that think trucks are not to be lowered, and to hopefully grace the pages of Mini Truckin’.
How long did it take you to build?
1 1/2 years
How long have you been building?
I have been into Mini Trucks since late 1993. I got started after I went to a show in Asheville, NC (Stars and Cars). There I saw a blazer with a Testarossa kit, a slammed S-10 and a D50 on Hi-dro’s.I have been into Mini Trucks since late 1993. I got started after I went to a show in Asheville, NC (Stars and Cars).
