I say the old school look...early 90's will be the next big thing. Its cool to see people
take their rides way beyond the normal & go with big ass rims & make us wonder how in the hell did they do that!! As for me my plans for my Toyota are to keep it clean & simple...yes it will be body dropped & have a long bed, but as for shaving stuff...the antenna, gaslid & installing a rollpan. I want it to look like all the trucks did when body drops first started comming out...clean & simple & when people look at it they actually see the truck & not brag about how big my wheels are...no offense to guys who have them!! I give mad props to the guys that
go out & find the early trucks that were featured in mini-truckin & restore them to their former greatness...good things never die & they always seem to come back & be even better!

I think we'll be seeing people put the bodies of trucks onto the frame and engine of their choice. I love seein that like the cat who put vw engine in the rear of a taco body or the guy who put a chevy luv on a taco clip with a custom frame. The grant custom slide show of japan showed alot of that. In consideration to the JDM suggestion, I see the intro of more right hand drive cars.
