what made you a mini trucker

my pops he was a minitrucker in late 78 with his sick lil chevy luv all decked out 70s style! he also has the ol skool truckin magazines and a minitruckin mag from 79!!!

What made me a minitrucker??? My dad has always been into building hot rods or customs so when it came time for me to drive i wanted to build a vw bug, 9 vw's later i graduated into minitrucks... I then moved on to old hot rods, But i would see a mini driving down the road and want one more... As of right now i dont have a truck, Im looking for a old ford courier or a old toyota...

for me it was seeing the guys from looney tunes and tiny toons riding around when i was like 11 or 12 and i was like when i get old enough to drive im gonna have one of them stickers my first truck was a slammed 86 hardbody in 95and ive been hooked ever since

my dad came home one day w/ his 82 C-10 slammed to the ground...when I was about 12 or 13....it was over from that point....then you just go to shows and meet all your brothers/sisters....no better way to live in my opinion

i guess i got into MT mag when i was 12ish or so. not sure. my dad and bro were always into shit and i had been messin with mechanical stuff since i was way young. then by 16 i got my first truck, bagged front a month or 2 after i turned 17, backhalf and rear baggin before i turned 18, body dropped right after i turned 18 and thats where i am now

I had always been into Lowriders.... My first car was a 4 door limited edition nissan sentra and I had put some 13 x 7 reversed offest wire wheels on it and had cut the coils down and blown out the struts in the rear and used to stomp on and off the breaks to make the rear hop off the ground... boy the good old days... haha.... Durring that time frame a budy of mine (Danny Soler) he had a ranger he just had bagged and asked him if i could ride in it... oh boy ... he drug it once and i was hooked from then on ... soon after I bought an S10 wich I'm still workin on



Then I seen this feature in Truckin 2001 of of Dave Shulman's F-150 from when it was blue



And This Pic of him pushing the Sand and i knew i had to take it to the extreme.....

buying my first fully shaved primered s10 for 1200 bucks. and being able to daily drag the shit out of that thing and it never broke!!! hooked me.....

when i was about 11 or 12 i used to see a few mini`s here and there that were low with body kits and from them days on i wanted a mini then my brother baught one in 01 and it was lowerd the frame hit the axle on bumps then he baught a wrecked s10 and he started builing it and i was always right there helping and his truck is now bagged fully shaved on 20`s and i bought my own truck in 04 and two weeks after i baught it was bagged and now its body drped shvd and all crazy like. but like everyone else said its a life style and always a good way to pick up girls that and the look on the kids face that is in the honda behind you when your railin the poop outa your truck and he dont know what`s happening

heres a blast from the past, some pics i took in pigeon forge circa 96-99. thanks to dan the man for lettin me host on his site! enjoy guys

it was late 1991, I stopped at a local hot rod shop in san diego and picked up a local car related newspaper listing car shows, the next day I went to a local show at grossmont community college, saw a couple of mini trucks there, met a couple of guys that lived in the area, got invited to hang out, they helped me with my first truck ( a 91 mitsu) joined a local truck club called MIRACLES which ended up going away, a couple of straglers from that club joined a new club in 1993 called Negative Camber and Ive been a member ever since ... and if it wasnt for those 2 guys I met at that local show that day ( Mike Peters and some ass clown named Courtney Halowell) who knows what I'd be doing
