    thanks man. It's my first minitruck, always had lifted 4wd's, but always appreciated minitrucks... and then the stars aligned and I picked this guy up. Put in a bunch of work on it and the rest is history. DJM 3" drop LCAs up front and 4" blocks.

    A real mini pickup. Had fun times with it for a couple of years. But as it came from the UK it was a real rust bucket.

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Spotted this today. From a distance, I thought it was a Mazda.
