    I subscribe to mini truckin but I was wondering if anyone subscribed to any other mags that are useful for mini trucks. I find mini truckin to be a very useful mag, I just want more... I guess that is why I am on this wesite so much. :eyecrazy:

    before i got into the MT scene i used to think the s10 was the pinnacle of minis so it wouldnt b surprising that those r wut everyone drives or supports. especially since we ride "imports"

    I know what you mean. I would say that 8 out of 10 mini trucks that I see in my town are S10's. I am guilty of falling in to the trend. I own an Xtreme. I am happy with it, but I got tired of seeing so many around town. That is what lead me to buying my 85 yota.

    Next time you pick up any issue of MT, take a look at the show coverage. 75% of the pics are s-dimes! It's because there are parts galore and they're cheap to get.

    Street Trucks and Sport Trucks. I will have to look for those. I don't think I have ever seen those ones. Even I have to say it is getting a bit ridiculious how big the aftermarket is for s10's. In a way i like the fact that the market isn't as big for our yota's. It makes us become more inovative, and inovation is what keeps pushing the envelope for the mini truck scene.

    Yea its good too! But my only complaint with them is its mostly full size Chev's and Fords. Not too often you see a mini grace the pages of Truckin.

    Just my opinion

    mine seem to hold up well, and even if they are diff trucks u can still apply stuff to your own truck, just be creative

    I went out and looked for street trucks today. I found some at Barnes and Nobles. I liked it, and there were some good ideas in there, but again mostly chevy's. They were doing a project build on a yota though. It was already on part eight. They were using a brake booster out of a geo metro since it was a lot smaller and were talking about how important it is to go to a machinist to get important things like the adapter made, and to not rig things up.
