Mini Truckin' Table of Contents: July 2009

IN YO FACE
This pavement-scrapin' dime, owned by AJ Renner, definitely stands out at shows.

RETIREMENT TOY
Gary Ellison spent the better part of a decade modifying his '88 Toyota Xtracab to be the perfect retirement gift to himself.

TOY SOLDIER
We couldn't go an entire issue without at least one super-modded killer minitruck! Check out Katsuhiro Ando's insane Tacoma straight out of Japan.

HIGH SCHOOL MINI
Ernie Macias built this 1992 Mitsu as a fun little basic project with no intention of ever being in a magazine. Little did he know that this back to the basics approach would really catch on and become the cover and theme of this special issue.

PUGZ LAYS IT DOWN
When it comes to veteran minitruck builders there comes a time when something simple and clean to drive is a definite must.

KEEPIN' IT OLD SCHOOL
The High School Mini kept it OG by going with a Zolatone bedliner.

DON'T GET STRANDED
We put together the ultimate road trip survival kit to help you get a good idea of what to plan for when you hit the open road.

DAILY DIME
We install Air Lift's complete Auto Pilot digital air suspension system on our Daily Dime buildup.

NICE REAR
ou've asked for it, so we're going to show you. We invaded Grant Fabrication to find out the proper way to install a tailgate skin.

MINITRUCKIN' LYFESTYLE
It's back with all new shenanigans!

CENTER SPREAD POSTER
This month's poster gives you two cool logo options for your walls.

HOMETOWN HERO
Justin Watkins is what you might call an audio aficionado. Actually, we'll go one step further and say he's a fanatic. Inside, this Blazer is stuffed with enough sound equipment to rival most concert halls.

THE HOT SEAT
This month we get up close and personal with a North East youngin' but old-school minitrucker and show promoter. Check out the scoop on Jeff King, complete with a spy photo for all to enjoy.

WEENIESTOCK
Trust us! It's all about the fun.

SICKNIC
Ever imagine a good ol' fashion picnic get together and truck show all at once?

DRAGGIN' NATIONALS
Drop Jaw throws another killer event; this time it's all about the draggin'!

DROPT 'N DESTROYED 5
hio, only has a handful of shows that focus on the minitruck crowd, and this is definitely one not to miss!

DROP 'EM WEAR? CRUISE IN
Sometimes the best ideas are right under your nose and all it takes is a little motivation to get the show on the road, literally!
