lowrider vs minitrucker

man you guys took my post way out of context i was just pointing out lowriders were started by mexicans and minitrucks were started by whiteboys but whatever if you are going to cry about it then cry oh well i wont be posting here anymore then....if you dont want to know then dont ask

i hate it when someone calls my truck a lowrider. its a minitruck.

you'd think courtesy for others would be as prevalent as common sense,but,not so much. lol. Our sigs can be too long with too many characters in them,but we're allowed to have the biggest damn pics we want,hahaha.

lowriders = candy paint

minitrucks = lack of paint

Its been called a lowrider by most. A Minitruck by few but the thing i dislike the most is when some one call it A Nissan or Toyota. Besides it is nice when someone who knows what it is and knows hard it is to find parts says i had one back in the day but yours looks clean. Dam "I never should have sold it."

lowriders= any parts on the car made by lowrider, or dayton.

minitruck= little bitty truck in alot of ways other then wheels now.


you can make a lowrider inspired car into custom car just buy 17's or bigger and a tastefull paintjob. like an impala.

you can make a minitruck into a lowrider with 13/14's and a paintjob a little less tastefull to most of us.

most lowriders have crushed velvete interior and swivel seats.

most minitrucks have either vinal or leather or tweed and a bench seat or buckets.

lowriders usually have alot of gold on them.

minitrucks usually have alot of primer on them unless there painted.

from what ive seen most minitruckers dont hate on eatchother as lowrider guys do.


and the biggist point. is almost 100% of the time our trucks lay out when there is an adjustable suspension. not mini lowriders lay out that ive seen.



one of my good WHITEBOY friends ust tohave a lowrider car.

and a good mexican friend of mine has a stfbd s10 on 22's.

thats just what i think.

josh

Good point josh. I had 13's on my truck about two years or so ago. Not doing that again, cause I can't tuck 'em. Unless I was to get standard or front wheel drive wheels but I just don't want those anymore and that's that. I still like spokes and stuff but my mini will get stuffed w/some bigger wheels eventually. Maybe not 24's like josh's but something else. I do dislike people calling my truck a Nissan or when they think it's a 1st Gen S-10, I like both of those but mine is a MAZDA <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

man,if you want to see guys hating on each other,drive a rice rocket. I can no longer drive a sport compact without drama. Since I got into minitrucks, everyone is so laid back and down to earth. Sport compact guys are just total dickheads.

Which time LOL
The earliest I remember was LRM March 99 - p.34 (club pic) and p.42 (Best Interior), LRM September 99 - p.44 (club pic), LRM February 2001 - p.149 &amp; 152 (Feature).

I think there was a pic of the truck in the LRM coverage of Chicago &amp; Indy shows from 2002 thru 2005.

Also had a brief interview on the 25th Anniversary LRM DVD - Kansas City show.
