One of my friends at work had a mini truck LOL
he cut the roof off that thing and had it lowered. The only people rollin mini trucks are mexicans, white guys with mullets & ex cons who just picked their car up from moms house.

i dont see too many minis in sf/peninsula no more...i guess it burnt out. ive had a few in the mid to late 90's...awesome and easy to modify, id like to see them come back, hard.
