What kind of qualifications are needed?

 

Seat belts went in the Minitruck last night.

 

Nice seats man! What are they out of? Gf convinced me I should get a mini as my 2nd vehicle. In honor of the one I always complain about selling lol

 

Sup man! It's been nice and warm actually. The snow has nearly all melted off and is a bit muddy, but that may dry out of the weather continues and it doesn't snow/rain on Sat like it's forecasted (yesterday it said it would snow, today it says cloudy and the storms Monday instead). I'm actually headed out to our LA office to film a big project with MotorTrend all of next week so I'll be gone 3/8-3/16 otherwise I'd say we could meet up.

 

oh - red blets = racecar!

 

Yea and it doesn’t help when the guys with the lowest bid wins as obviously they tend to shop for the cheapest folks out there. Many times as a company you get what you pay for.

 

They are from a 2018 Chrysler Town & Country. rear captain seats. the previous owner picked them up at a Good Guys show. Thats about as far as he got with the interior. I love it man! its perfect for commuting and running errands.

awww bummer man! that sounds like it will be a good time tho! Thanks for the info too!

exactly! #racetruck #drifttruck #ratruck

sticking with the red accents. door pulls, seat belts, shifter, etc

 

Yea those seats look real nice in there. Look like they fit well too. I used to daily a 1st gen 04 single cab 5 speed work truck. Even took it to Cali once. Was lowered & all that jazz. Would be nice to build another & daily that lol

 

they fit pretty good. They came with the buckles on extensions.. so adds another foot or so.. but the Chrysler seats have the buckles built in. They will be a little tight for some people.. but for most.. should be about perfect.

and that sounds badass man! any pics of it? This is my first lowered vehicle and its definitely different.. and fun.

 

Yea they’re fun for sure. I wanted to weld the diff & slide it around lol

First wheels after lowering

2nd wheels I tried

3rd & final set when sold

When I had friends lol

dude yes!! I love it! 1st set of wheels are awesome. and I like the last set too.

That extra cab is pimp too!

I'm a fan of deep dish/lips. My Crown Vic Meshies have a decent lip. They are 16x7's. wanting to go to a 16x9 or even a 16x10.

I need to find some minitruck friends.. I have none.. I just know all you assholes..

 

yes! this truck is a big inspiration actually. I plan to make a rear diffuser and wing for mine..

 

Dude, the owner is my inspo. The man does it all mostly in his garage. He has some killer builds.

just look at this, custom made TE37 motorcycle rim

 

That’s Nigel’s right? With the sr20? That things badass. His van is sick too

I think the first set were tsw... I don’t remember the name but they were tsw wheels lol & the last set are g35 stocks.
Yea that thing was sick. Kid was 15 meeting us everywhere with his dad. Cool people. Was a 22r auto. Real clean interior.
Yea I’ve seen some guys in Cali that run like 15x10 wheels & 16x10. Nice & wide look sweet. Look up AZDimes on Facebook, they’re mainly a group of s10s but they’re cool guys. There’s an old Datsun there without a roof it’s sick. Also a vw ute also with no roof. Sweet build for sure. I think cruise to the pines is coming up also

 

Badass ride for sure. Unfortunately I don't have Facebook. I ran into a dude with a Yota mini at O'Reilly's once.. and didn't get contact info .that was about as close as I got to a group. Lol

I've seen the cruise to the pines posted a couple times .might have to check it out.

And yes.. I wanna go a little lower and run 9 or 10 inch wide steelies. Diamond Steelies makes em. But I'll need to go with 2" drop spindles, 3" leafs plus a 2" block.. and roll my fenders before that.

 

Yes sir! Nigel's the man, if you need some tips and tricks you can DM him on IG and he'll respond right back. Seems like a real down to earth dude.

 

So close lol yea I’ve heard the cruise is nice. Basically a mini/fullsize/car show. Raffles & stuff go on.
Oh yea that’d be hawt. Those diamond steelies are nice with the deep lips.
Sounds like a plan man. I hated swapping spindles. Did it once with no power tools lol. Lmk if you ever need help. I know lining up the leafs could be a bitch

 

It's all in the plans. Got my build figured out. Finishing up the interior then moving to the exterior again.. update and add some things.

Thanks man I appreciate it. Fortunately.. I'm pretty familiar with the front end at this point. I replaced everything not too long ago. Did DJM 3" lowering control arms too. Cleaned up and reused my spindles.

 

Nice! I had the same when I lowered mine. 3” lower arms & a block out back lol however my dumbass decided to lower an extra inch via no bump stops lol. Had the shocks that djm has on their site too.
Also have you tried customtacos.com?
