10 years of mini truckin

I went from VW's to trucks, and have seen the craziness that has become our sport. I remember seeing a bagged nissan an Bug-O-Rama back in the day and thinking to myself, damn I gotta get a truck! Now I can't help but wonder what kind of rides my kids will be building in the future.

Hell, I'll just be happy if they want to build a ride at all. Seems like most kids coming up don't care to work on or take care of much of anything...

I remember John's Nissan 'Vert from Stage One Customs, it was purple with a vertical (not horizontal) phantom grille and boyd's 5-stars. I got one for all of you ol-skoolers, who drove that red Nissan single cab, body dropped on tri-fans, that popularized the use of Toyota front bumpers on Nissans? I think his name was Dan Marchese, not sure tho.

here is one of the guys in our club SUNSET SD but he is an original to the mini truckin I am sure many of you know or have met nick at one time. He still drives this truck everywhere. http://www.sunsetsd.com/Nicks.htm

All I can say is in 96 a set of 17s cost $2500

be on the lookout for more of the History of MT as we put together some ol skool stuff for you guys in some upcoming issues (be on the lookout for the 2006 Calendar!)

well, my daughter willbe 3, and I have a 4 month old son. I built my daughter a low wagon and she loves the attention she gets shen she is in it. We are planning on building her a custom bike next year and I will make sure she helps, and I will do the same for my son. I will make sure that there will be at least 2 minitruckers in the next generation!
