Trick my Trucks and Chill Factor

4 states in joplin is no longer affiliated with tmt. the new crew is mainly from k&l in NC. 4 States finally got tired of being affiliated with building the circus wagons the tv producers were making them do I guess. The Picketts are back out west again at there shop. they do real nice work but havn't seen much from them lately

 

I saw them at the truck show in Louisville,Ky And I went to 4 states the end of March I love going there when I go to Joplin

 

Ill be honest theirs only been a few of the trucks they have done that I have liked. The dump truck was cool but I would have hated trying to keep it clean..... the old school truck they did in the first few episodes was awesome and i really liked the bonnie and clyde truck lol.

 

chill factor is just at the car shows i think now

 

I saw the KW Phoenix Rising the other day in MO.

 

I've seen some Western Dist. trucks done by the CSM. One daycab from Denver had a cool "water" paint job on it.

 

Lucky 7 is now for sale on Ebay, not a bad looking rig.

 

the "Icebreaker" has been traded in a couple years ago.. the guy lives down the road from me..

 

I've only been able to watch a few Trick My Truck episodes on the web (don't have cable or satelite TV here)...

Saw the Icebreaker episode. Did the guy retire or sell the truck to buy a different one?

They put that large sleeper on there, with the fireplace and wood paneling (useless to me), and the grill...but that was one of the less rediculous episodes I've seen or heard of them doing.

Guy was hauling a what was it, medical trailer? Did the large sleeper impact his hauling?


I'd like to see TMT doing a tough, working truck with functional features versus the fancy bling.

Oh, and don't be taking off a decent sized sleeper to put a small sleeper or coffin box on. That's just stupid.

 

Anybody see the Japanese 'dekotora trucks' ?

saw some on a cable show where they were described as b@stard love-children
of semi trucks and Transformers.
