mini trucks were wildly popular here (US... Los Angeles area, anyway) in the late 80s through the late 90s... then a lot of mini truckers went to old cars or full size trucks... customs, low riders, etc... and suddenly mini trucks weren't "cool"...
to the point where people wouldn't admit they'd owned one.
they're still around to some point, but not like 10 years ago.

We've got Matt LangBant coming to the gathering, he is one of those Mini truckin' guys.. but I think he went off and built more hot rods (he currently owns Rothwell's Standard 12) so maybe they went off and did that.
I really like Minitrucks, the graphics, the wheels, the air/juice, the lot, wish it was a bigger UK scene.

there is still at least one US mag in publication on the subject so there must be people still into them in the US.
I prefer full size trucks but you can make most of the same tricks work on a full size truck you can on a mini truck
