Minitruck resurgence

What no race truck tacos?

Not what you want to see but if I was building one I'd still like to have a few extra axles, and a pool in the bed. I wouldn't be opposed to some airbrushed heartbeat stripes either.

This is where it begins, and ends.

You bring up a very good point - forget Dajiban, I want full-race Grumman-type step-vans...that can still serve up a good meal after the race.

Don't forget this:

I'm all for it. The only thing is that unless you bag them you kinda kill the utility when you lower them way down, and I'm too much of a form-follows-function guy to let that pass.

Does this count?

Definitely need more REPUs.

Thinking about Mike Finnegan's C10 again. Bags, IRS, AND a Gen 5 LT4.

Tilt bed aaaand dual axle?

Surely you jest. "Tacos" is Yota speak for "Tacoma". Not taco trucks. However, I condone the idea of racing taco trucks WHILE making them in the back.

They're cheap, abundant, RWD, most have manual trans options, boost and/or engine swaps are common, and they have large wheel wells to accommodate tons of rubber.

I know guys running everything from Coyote swapped trucks with Mustang suspension/brakes to a fully caged truck with IRS and slicks in EMod. Performance mini truck is definitely a growing trend. I have a couple of small projects to take care of on mine over the winter, and I can hopefully get it to a dyno and a few more AutoX events in 2017.

Gratuitous truck shot:

Minitrucks stopped being cool? E36 M3! Nobody bothered to tell me. Wait, they probably did, but whatever.

It says "Tacoma" in big letters across the windshield

Clearly spelled it wrong

Then all the water will spill out of the hot tub

Here's a Tundra

My friend Ryan's B1200:

In reply to Wall-e:

What if we replace the hot tub with a tilt a whirl?
