most recently i blew up the motor. the original 4 banger is out. i am building a killer smallblock for it now.



The Gist:
I am 18 years old and I only make $8.50 an hour, so this truck was built on a very low budget (the most expensive part I bought was the 5-speed at $50!). I don’t make very much money so everything on my truck I got from a friend, swap meet, junkyard, or my favorite, the five finger discount. I love it when someone tries to tell me what I should have done differently, and my response is that I built my truck for me, not so I can please everyone else. I have owned this truck for almost a year now and when I got it was bone stock, and it was about a week later that I started tinkering with it (taking unnecessary parts out, crawling underneath to see how it was built, etc.). It wasn’t until I had it for about a couple of months that I really fell in love with it. That’s when I started thinking about what I could do to modify it. Some ideas I came up with, some I saw on other people’s truck, and then some I just came across the part and loved it so much I put it on. So I built this truck for all you people that say Jeeps should be lifted not lowered. I built this truck on a really low budget, and I built it for me, not to mention I built something totally different. And seriously, have you ever seen a truck that looks like this?

Club:  UGC (Under Ground Customs)
i am the one who started this club and i continue to lead it. we have about 15 cars and trucks from all backgrounds (off roading, lowriding). basically we are a bunch of really low budget high-skoolers with alrite vehicle, that keep saving up to put the next part on our ride. we also go to the couple shows that are in our town, go to the asphault and dirt track races, and post up (hangout in our designated in parking lots). our lowest and most modified vehicle is my truck, the jeep, the fastest vehicle in our crew is an older integra that is boosted with a T3/T4 turbo, and its really fast.

P.S. this is the club that posts up christmas night, and gets pulled over in parking lots.

P.S.  stuff that I couldn’t fit on the lines above:  battery relocated to toolbox in the bed, stock bench seat in the bed, L.E.D. backup light on the back of the cab, semi-truck antennas mounted just inside the bed, removed headliner, Sunpro 3" tach, painted dash pieces, strobe lights in the headlights, crappy pioneer speaker in the bed w/ toggle switch, 2-point race belts in back seat, upside-down grill, and my personal favorite, the WWII mortar shell zip-tied to the drivers-side rocker panel.


Newest Addition:  full set of 17" late model mustang wheels with the factory tires. i got them for free! dnt worry, i didint steal them.

Next Addition:  Side pipes through the body

Most recent broken part: i fried a ring in the motor. now the motor is toast

My mods will never stop, and someday I hope to drag the frame and end up in MiniTruckin, that’s my dream.
