new minitruckin mag - september 2008... COVER TRUCK IS BADASS!

i like to drive my trucks. but i dont care if somebody trailers theirs or drives it. badass is badass. whether its driven or never left a trailer.

i think its become more of a drag the shit out of it sport. its like the show/movie jackass has inhibited "the sport".

if i were to build 2 trucks- one primered, laying door with a cracked rollpan where i drug the shit out of it on 24s... then i build another that lays frame and is immaculately built (detailed chassis etc)... the one that is primered and torn up would have twice the people "admiring" it all weekend.

everything comes full circle but im making sure this time around that I build what I want for ME! thats why its gonna lay only frame on 15" wheels with plenty of paint underneath!

same cover as Truck Trends issue #25??

thats kinda bullshit! they could have atleast changed it up a bit...

and #25 is old. I have #27

even worse!

hey guys im sorry if i offended any ones love for the sport. yes i agree that is one awesome mini and that when a show is hundreds ofmiles away its smarter to trailer your precious mini to keep accidental road damage from occurring. i just love cruising to much i guess so when i see somethin built u dont or rarely drive it takes the fun out. it will stay clean no doubt and any of us could build someting like that given time and money.FESTER is on a build of that kickbutt ranger cleaner than clean. i respect show trucks but functionality still matters. maybe one day ill have several trucks and will spawn the desire to build one,until then drag it, cruise it, just move it down the street Peace to all u minitruckers, were a rare breed.

yes mark trailering one takes some fun out of it,but when you spend 5 years of your life building something I didnot want it messed up or some jackass running into it at a stop light and the ins. company saying it's only paying blue book value. there are a lot of trucks out there that are bad ass and drove, i have no problem with driving mine get all the dumbass's off the road and i will drive mine anywhere. plus my big ass just dont fit in a st cab ranger real good anymore.

There are two types of vehicles in every scene on the planet. And that is show vehicles and there are go vehicles and no scene will survive without each other. The show vehicles inspire the ones that built vehicles and the go vehicles inspire poeple to get into the sport. As far as the Japan rides there insane and pushing the limits in what little time they have been doing it.....we as an american culture have had 20 plus years of minitruckin and there half that and there doing a great job at inspiring everyone here....pickup a trucktrends and I'm sure you will agree!

we have worked a lot with Truck Trends mag in japan and we're fortunate enough to be able to bring "you", our readers, some of the coolest trucks from Japan hope you like!!!

Thanks for the support everyone!
