My dad got me a static dropped mazda b2200 for my first truck. That was 10 years ago i still got it. Finally got it bagged after scrapping thru 2 set of leaf springs haha. Wouldn't have it any other way. I got a kid now gonna give it to him for his first truck. Keepin the scene alive. Much love for the 541 👊

Man I'm tripping out I was a junior in high school when I got my first White s10 extra cab and I looked exactly like yours! I got the mini truckin takeover shirt with the blue slammed hard body with the surf board sticking out the camper like your uncles truck! Keep up the good work . much love from Hawaii keep the shirts coming. Ps my names Braden I'm using my wife's u tube account lol

[@joserosas6372]

Preach love this!! I grew up with my uncles taking me to shows. We had an S10 fully custom and man those days were fun it was awesome being around that lifestyle 💯

[@rafaelmaldonado7496]

Shout out from san antonio texas. Some old dude came up to me at Valero. Asked if my truck had hydro on it. I kinda laughed. But then went on telling me about his s10 on 10s made my day. Like you say mini trucking ain't died.

[@BuiltToCruise]

Minitruckin is here to stay. 👍🏻

[@tonynguyen5924]

I have a 03 s-10 and it's my very first vehicle and I like the air ride, but I am 6'2! I don't wanna have to squat down to get in my vehicle,yet it would look awesome dropped!

[@BuiltToCruise]

Right on!

[@austinreynolds2214]

Words can’t express how much I love the fact y’all are doing this. As an upcoming mini trucker it’s super inspiring and motivational to watch these interviews. Thank y’all so much for doing what you do.

[@BuiltToCruise]

We appreciate it so much. We truly enjoy bringing the stories to the world. We are grateful for all the support and encouragement.

[@Texasfinestbobby]

Starting my S10... Gunna build it and give it to my son and build a second so we can cruise together... Bring the scene back in Austin Texas

[@mazdaminitruckin]

Love the spot light being brought back to minitrucks!! I never gave up on mine. I'm 10 yrs in on the same truck. Having a family now has slowed me down but I'll never get rid of her!! Thanks you sir for all you're doing.

[@BuiltToCruise]

Awesome! Keeping a vehicle that long is rare. Just shows how much it means to you. We appreciate the support!

[@joeylowery9779]

Man...I been following you own Facebook since you were "minitruckin ain't dead" about to cop me some merch as soon as this nonsense is over, just bought a s10 extended cab about 4 months ago ready to get started on 😊

I wouldn’t have sold the Cummins, I’d have just bought the mini truck to add to the collection.

[@BuiltToCruise]

Definitely

[@davenicholstas]

Cant believe its already 10 episodes in. This is one of the best series I've found on here. Thank you guys for keeping the videos going.

[@BuiltToCruise]

Thanks! We appreciate it. We continue filming more each week and love sharing the stories we learn about. Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for behind the scenes and pics from upcoming episodes.

[@austinevans3969]

@@BuiltToCruise oh nice. I've been doing the whole minitruckin stuff since 2012ish but my dad started doing all of this since the very very beginning of the scene days. We both have minis together. Mine is a 2000 Nissan frontier (aka green tea and ATTNHOR) and his is a 1994 Toyota pickup (aka shipwrecked)

[@BuiltToCruise]

@@austinevans3969 we know those trucks! Shipwrecked is a sweet Toyota. Solo films did an episode on it several years ago. And Attnhor is such a clean Frontier with the ripped open graphics. Awesome you can share this minitruck lifestyle with your dad.

[@austinevans3969]

@@BuiltToCruise the Toyota is in the paint shop getting completely redone. And the frontier still has a few minor things I want fixed. It's a great way on how him and I bonded so quickly. I met him for the first time in 2009 or 2010 in California. Then about a year later our family packed up and moved out to Arkansas to start a new life with both of my parents.

[@markacuna2828]

I've heard that mini trucking ain't dead

[@garystevens1044]

Man ive been invoved in the minitruck scene since 87 its been fun great til the late 90’s a couple of shows drama problems went to Hot august nights in Reno nevada 2000 some young try ro be gang bangers just walked up amd strted talkin smack about certaincRs and trucks trying to instigate ba fight and well whenthey were being sked nicely to leave a cume Of them broke ut with knives and running by the carsthey put the blade to metal and scrrrrrraaatttcccchhh!!!!!!!! And they just laughed abut it andunder 18 as well .. it kinda hit the brakes besxt thing you know there was a cool shop in sacramento called Fender Bender Inc..aka FBI TBEY HAD ECERYTHING!! Grills rol pans body fillers lowering kits lights and on and on.. and in oroville ca there was CanDo they did the custom spindles and drop kits and evenmore cool stuff and one of the editors for minitruckin ran cando and had his shop There as well then well california started going to crap things getting over inflated and next thing you know fbi closes cando shuts down minitruckin magazine announces it last magazine and done .there used to be a show called street machine nationals evn the car show just faded away.. kinda sad so now her we are 20 years going 21 into the 2000s i recall flipping the rear springs and lowering blocks and lowering the front torsion bars was how we dropped the trucks then spindles and full lowering kits ground effects .. now to resource those accessories is scarce...

[@AnAutoEnthusiastsLife]

Well Done Andrew! I've been a follower for a time and love your IG and Business. I just wish I had more money to buy Merch. I am not sure if I am a true mini trucker, but owning my first back in '94 was a Toyota. Fresh off the lot, but was a commuter and never got to do anything to it. Then I switched over to an S-10 in '98. Also fresh off the lot. Also a commuter. Now I have had several since. The 2 most recent were Bagged by previous owners. Now I am without and waiting to get another S10. Hopefully this time I will be able to create something of my own. KEEP INSPIRING!

[@BuiltToCruise]

Andrew inspires us all! Minitruckin Takeover keeps the world reminded we are still here and not going anywhere.

[@nickg.1045]

MINITRUCKIN MIGHT BE DEAD BY THE AUTOMAKERS BUT IT AINT DEAD BY THE FUCKING HARDCORE MINITRUCKERS!!!

Long live Minitruckin!

Sorry for late response I was at a show this weekend, these stories are great people that don't understand our love for this scene. They need to watch this stuff 👍👊

[@BuiltToCruise]

We truly appreciate it. We couldn't do this without everyone who agrees to sit down and tell their story to the world.

Great job man🤙🏼

Thanks! It was good hanging out and talking trucks.

Keep it up brother🤙🏼

[@nujayfabrication8089]

I love the more inside look into our scene !!! Awesome videos . Suprise Minitruckin Takeover doesn't have a you tube channel ?

lol and your dime behind you makes me miss my dime and you mention a dropped hardbody which i hada bagged and bodied hardbody

[@TheAshuar]

I have 2 full sizes an obs Chevy and a 66c10. But I really really want a mini so freaking bad

[@BuiltToCruise]

They are a lot of fun. Truly addicting to own.

[@TheAshuar]

@@BuiltToCruise what got me into bagged trucks was a buddy of mine I was at a football game in high school and he cruised by in a bagged s10 and i flipped out I knew that moment I had to have one.

Yes it is. And the story behind it is just as cool.

Yes it is a cool story, kinda how we all got into mini truckin, I know I did because of my grandpa, this scene is far from dead

[@dalewilliams7484]

Y'all a bad influence. I got one project in the garage, my "modified" daily/family rig in the driveway, now I be looking at a 2nd gen dime or a b series.

[@BuiltToCruise]

Yes!

[@jasoncordova7993]

I just picked up a 92 Mazda with 58 thousand miles it's all stock I want to build a complete chassis with ifs rear and a rotary keeping body stock as possible

That would be cool. Rotary in a B2200.
