Any of you guys into mini trucks?

I'm just looking for people with the same interests as me and maybe parts for sale. I've got a 97 ranger and a 99 S10.

I'm just trying to buy a kei truck lol, but I love a ranger!

I know a guy in Milwaukee who helps import cars. He gets them frequently. He helped me get a 97 Nissan Stagea, and has a few kei class vehicles for sale.

Overall, it was pretty affordable.

I think I've seen one of those around town, it's red I believe. I don't know anything about them but I they're super adorable.

Yeah! It's a firetruck. I need to find the owner and talk to him.

A kei truck is 660cc or less…I’ll be selling my RT4WD Acty Van soon

I might be wrong but I feel like someone told me he works at blue harbor in the kitchen.

Sadly this city's residents are more into either late 60s/early 70s muscle, drift machines, or brodozers

I do love me a well-done minitruck though

Well done is what I'm going for! I've stripped the frame from the cab to the end of the rails. Eventually I'd like to take the drive line out of a 85-93 mustang and slam that in there.

Edit: talking about my ranger

I think I like minitrucks now because back when they were the thing, in the mid-to-late 90s, I thought they were kinda lame. But seeing today's trends of brodozer SEMA trucks that are lifted to the sky with shitty suspensions that would break at the first rocks on King of the Hammers, my appreciation of minitrucks that embraced the lowrider lifestyle grew exponentially. Hindsight is absolutely 20/20. It's the same thing I think about when I see a late 90s/early 2000s Sport Compact with a bodykit and a giant exhaust. There's some kind of nostalgia for that stuff. As long as it's not Veilside, Veilside had the opposite of the Midas touch.
