Will street minitrucks make a comeback? 3G style?

Earsier to get into your rooftop tent as well. Just step right in. No ladder needed.

 

This render has also surfaced. I’m in for this one. As long as it’s supercharged. Can’t be putting around with a stock 3.5L SloMo motor when it looks this aggressive.

 

I think midnight blue.

He has a sticker in the back window that says "Built Not Bought"

 

I remember seeing them in groups driving up and down Daytona Beach, some had hydrolic lift beds that were works of art in the paint. They never put anything in the bed, some had plexiglass lids.

 

I have this other truck in my garage. Have owned it since new in 2000. Project that never seems to get started.

 

I hope not....Call me old but I just cannot relate...

 

A third gen would look great slammed. The problem is that the photoshops and widebody treatments are over the top.

The lowering kit(s) available for third gens are minor, 2” IIRC. It doesn’t look lowered, per se.. just squatted. It doesn’t do much to help the body lines stand out anymore and at some angles just looks kind of odd.

A bagged and body dropped third gen would be sexy. They’re not as flowy or fluid looking to me as a second gen was, but even a Super Duty and OBS GM looks sexy laid out. Third gen isn’t any different!

 

I mean, the overland looks may be a fad, but it’s also how i’m living my life this summer. People have always been into camping and escaping into the wilderness. This is just the latest continuation

 

Not a fan....

 

Saw this little Datsun Sunny last summer in Japan. I forgot how cool those little trucks can be for just a little bit of money.


Interior was really nice, tan leather with a Momo wheel.

 

A lot of the "street mini trucks" came from the factory as a fairly low truck. They were designed for nice weather and not offroading and most of them were pre-2005. You could get a 1999 s10 2wd stock thats already pretty low. The lowest end tacoma 3g is already pretty high off the ground.

I think that is one of the big reasons you dont see many lowered tacomas.

 

Can mine play?

 

That Datsun on top is just beautiful. Perfect in my opinion. I like subtle and simple things and have always liked when the tires just fill the wheel wells better than when they’re slammed all the way into them. I’d drive that top truck every single day and be proud of it!

 

Only if you slam it.

 

Even if it is PS, this is the first one I have seen that I legit like.

 

I’m an old school road dot remover. I love those layer out taco’s and I think a layed out 3rd gen longbed would be sick if done right.
