Old school MINI TRUCKIN'

Edited: 6/26/2006 4:24:59 PM by cruzinlow88

Steve Neilsens truck. If I had the money, I would buy it,cuz it got me into it.

I bought the Jan 91 issue of Mt sometime in late 90.....thought to myself holy shit these trucks are kick ass.... then shortly after buyin thats issue I saw David Hughes' mazda (which would later become Raspberry Delight) in stock lowered form rollin some pathfinders & a solid topper & the same day I saw his truck for the 1st time I saw Jonathan Faris' all black 84 4 door Cavy on 15" elite 5 stars come bouncin/draggin across the intersection( due to no springs ) I was hooked after that & lucky enuff to become friends w/ both of those guys....

This is hilarious, and you'd have to confirm with the MAGICAL MINIS CREW, but I remember seeing those guys rolling around Salem back in like the Mid-1980's with 113-14" rims and static dropped suspension.

When I first saw those, I was like, damn, when I get older, I'ma roll one of those.

Then as we all know, that stuff grew out, and you didn't see much anymore. I was hooked for life though on minis and would stare into the pages of MT Magazine for hours on end.

Fucking Magical Minis hooked me long ago. Shit, I was only 4-6 years old when I first saw them rollin.

Magical has been around for a long time. Donnie's King Tuck was one of the first inspirational trucks for me too. I'll never forget the sticker on his windshield: "Gone So-Low" that meant so much at the time. "Going So-low" Is a shop name but it also was a journey most of us have gone through: THE BIG BODY DROP

I see its mostly young guns posting...LOL....heres the truck that got me totally into it all...."THE LAST LOOK"......my opinion,its still one of the wildest minis out there....Ill post a link to the step by step of the truck,final pics are on the 7th page!

AWESOME DUDE....I didnt know how to post the pics

i got my s10 in 93 no real truck got me started but one got me going on a crazy course....i was in new orleans visiting family in early 95 and drove my truck out
my buddy with me noticed a show a comming up and said lets stay for it
we did it was the first showfest
while there we talked to tons of cool people and even a few jerks one ass in perticular had a tandem s10 at the show (was on the insert to order mag back in early 90)and started to say it was a thing that was hard to do and could only be done by a select few
well aweek after returning hom my s10 with low miles was cut up and the tandem began
not in a shop but in the back yard
was done in a few weeks drove it awhile then decided to send to body shop to make it look good for paint and they jacked it up and the story goes............

Did'nt you used to work for FBI?
