Famous Truckers

The black blazer was RA but it was a different Ryan.  Ryan WCC is high class now. Come on he pimped rides. I could make a funny but it may offend. But Version 5 or 6 WCC is usually just a light switch away.  Jesse was never a fan of MT. Yes he's hired Jay LaRossa, Downtown Josh Brown, Bobby McCurdy, Ben Wood and Alex. But those were through MG not being MT. He used to talk smack to some of the employees about minitrucks all the time and usually lost.  So no The above names shouldn't be included in famous MTr's and lumping anyone with a custom ride is a disservice to 'minitruckers'.  Famous MT.. Most people move on so the most you will find is 'used to be'  But there is Bob Hase. He's a pimp.   EditHow the hell did I forgot. Bodydrop is pretty known outside of the 'scene' now. 

Bacca this is the blazer I am talking about... Nov 96 says it was owned by Ryan Friedlinghaus same Ryan that owns WCC right ?

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by Numbskulli dont care what anyone says, from my experience, minitrucks get no love. although minitrucks require the most engineering and custom fabricating of any type of custom car they certainly dont get the respect they deserve. in the eyes of the automotive general public you can build a custom chassis and put an old f100 body on it and everyone loves it, take the same chassis and put a b2200 body on it and everyone thinks its jsut a lowered truck..sorry to hijack the thread.---------------------------------------------I agree with you to a certain extent...as far as respect and appreciation...but as far as engineering is concerned I wouldn't say so. Isnt much engineering in a 2-link and installing drop spindles...or cutting the floor of a truck to pieces and dropping the body down. THere is alot of mini trucks (bagged/bodied trucks) out there that have a ton of engineering into them...but for every one truck that is engineered...there's 10 that are far from being engineered or have custom fabrication. Bagged trucks don't get any love because of mono leafs, blown bags, blown air line, falling apart trucks, etc....At the majority of shows...you can find alot of scary trucks...team that with dragging, drinking, and all the foolishness...and people don't seem to appreciate our existance very much. But people like Max Fish, Aaron Iha, Eric S., Choppin Block, etc are starting to open the eyes of some people...Hot Rods started way before minitruckin did...eventually we will catch up with them as far as quality...One day...there will be a bagged and bodied truck that can run with the Riddler trucks...one day. Until then...they'll keep hating us. Fuck em...let em hate

^^ well said man!  And those rolling shots of your truck are sick!!

Wow Jim called me famous LOL

 Im a huge fan of Big B, rapper from Vegas thats signed on Suburban Noize records. He's into old Cadi's and anything layed out. Talked to him at a show before, does alot of his own work. Couple pics of him and some of his rides. Think he sold the 60 Chevy recently, was on ebay.  

I guess I will Chime in a bit.  A few months back I got to hang with Elias (not sure on exact spelling) the lead singer for Nonpoint.  Due to the shirt I was wearing (The Bag Shack) we started in on a conversation regarding vehicles.  Come to find out he used to be into minis before music.  He had a Mazda with a truxtarossa kit on it.  Plus had friends with Nissan's and stuff.  Really kool guy. 

i know D-LOC from kottonmouth kings has a bagged (maybe hydros) caddy and fullsize. there both actually in one of his solo music videos.

you cant really have this discussion without bringing up kirk hammets(metallica guitarist) '36 ford cole foster built. its probably one of the nicest customs built to date.  Remember ford didnt build a 3 window in 36! check it out             http://www.salinasboys.com/projects/36.htm
