Mini Truckin Magazine Cover July 1999 featuring Donnie Babb Mazda B2200

Donnie Babb’s truck, Lolumbr, as it appeared on the cover of Mini Truckin’ Magazine in July 1999.

Donnie says this truck was the inspiration behind building Gauge Media Group, Inc.

In the decade following Lolumbr appearing on the cover of Mini Truckin’ magazine in July of 1999, Gauge has grown to encompass GaugeMagazine.com, Gauge Store, and Gauge Studios. Gauge has become one of the largest automotive publishing companies in the world.

Make sure to check of the details of this truck. It, being built in 1996, was far ahead of it’s time…just like GaugeMagazine.com.
