LOW RUNNER
Its been awhile since I have seen a mini truck, and I always feel obligated to pay respect to the mini truck crowd because they are the OG’s of the car show scene especially in the South were trucks reign supreme. Red hit me up in our Submit/Contact page about his truck, and by looking at the 2 pictures I was trying to set something up asap! No matter where you grew up you remember that hardbody,B2200,ranger,s10 or anything with a bed being dragged all across town. And you did not know why you liked it at the time but you did. Something about taking a simple cheap bite size work truck and turning it into a bright colorful display of originality captures everyones attention. Rather your into a clean style of modification or wild all out show piece you look twice..maybe more.
Red, decided to take the minitruck path in a 2000 4Runner, known for its reliability and being the ultimate mom daily driver. He decided to turn it into his personal canvas on wheels. Id like to thank him for taking time away from his family on a Sunday afternoon and getting with Andy for these pics..cant wait to see the rest of the Freaks Of Nature family..
Here is a few words from the Owner Red Pollard about the truck:
