Thread: What happened to these trucks...

What ever happened with all these trucks?
I know where most trucks end up once they are sold, but some I have no idea where they went cause I may have not seen them in a few years, or maybe there sitting waiting to be finished.
I know there's more trucks out there that you may be wondering about, so post up.

Like the 1st truck. I know a well know bike builder was building it in Long Beach(now WCC), but I have no idea if it was ever finished or who has it

I think CR Films on here still has the old Baker Explorer. There was a picture of the Dalton truck in another thread with a different paint job.

Manfroys ranger I believe is done for after a bad roll.

Pops ranger is still around, and I am sure owned by the same people.

That's about all I know. I'm interested to hear about the rest.

-Markus-

Does Hemp still have that ranger?

what about black baja shop ranger with checkered flag?

Damn Brian, just steal my pics why don't you?

Good post though, I'd love to hear where all of these (and more) went.

The black Baja Shop truck with the Checkered flag is Dan Vance's old truck.

The motor was gone. the cab was gone. the interior was gone. Wheels and tires were gone. front half of the chassis was gone. as I said it was just a skeleton of what it once was when i saw it. really bummed me out to tell you the truth. maybe next time I am in the area where the kid lives, I will shoot a few pics and post its current condition if there is even anything left when i get there. What a waste is all I could think when I saw it last....


I guess it just proves that you have no respect for something that you didn't have to work for or build. no matter what it is.


RIP "El Rangito"

dan vances old truck? he sold it to some kid who proceded to wreck it

I think Gil owns the baker exploder, or thats what I heard. Dan's ranger the black baja shop with checkered flags is tore apart and cut up in someone's garage.

damn dans truck got me into this whole offroad addiction

The black ranger, 708, is gone. Like Markus mentioned, it was totaled at last years new years dash. Half dozen endos at 80 MPH killed the truck worse than ever before. Not a tube was left straight. Co dog seat ripped from the mounts, and he broke a few ribs. Very, very sad. Truck raced for 12 or 13 years.

I read somewhere else that Hemp is getting ready to race? And the pictures of Dalton's truck were pre-green. Helton should know what's up with him. And I'm STILL waiting to see pictures of Samuri's Dan has built....

hahaha the glamis samuri stories are endless and how fast he was in those things.

Here, found pics.

What happened to Guzzet's truck late 80's yota with ESB kit and 4 link off the axle?

I know he had it for sale years ago but never sold I think. I always had eyes for that truck.

Saw him post recently in updated pics. Still has it. Got it painted I think? Matched the factory pinstriping. Awesome truck, have always loved it.

Bako Expo is owned by a friend Jason (CRFilms) And it just sits over in their shop in Bellflower. It's sad to see it just sitting there, because the thing has so much potential. Same with the ranger cab/Frame project they have going on. Maybe they'll wanna sell the cab for my next build.. Hmm...

HEMP's ranger was/is one of my fav trucks BY FAR! I have always loved that truck.. ESP after he got the 2" cage built.

josh knenske sold the green weenie a year or so back.....dont know where its at now or what its doing........josh hasnt been online for many months now either. i think he is just really involved with his family and business. gagnon prolly knows more info on that topic.

oh and chris mazzulla is on here. im sure he will let us know about the chevy.

I'm pretty sure Dalton cut his truck up after that jump.

That's probably a good thing, at least it hasn't broken yet.........

It sucks that it took so long for the real info on Baker to come out, it never would have been purchased if they/we knew the real deal with CEO's truck, CEO's truck was actually part of the reason it was purchased.

From what I was told, Baker did almost none of the work on that thing. They might have lucked out.....

So I am gonna ask permission first before I post can I post some pictures of trucks i have sold to people over the years to see if anyone of them are still out there, all my trucks have sold to people from RDC. They are by no means as famous or nice as any of these posted or talked about, I just dont want to taint the thread with my trucks.

So here are my trucks that I have always wondered if they were ever put to good use after i sold them. This first truck is my first attempt at a prerunner when I was 18 which was 6 years ago now I had the truck completed for about 4 months when it was stolen and stripped, I ended up catching the guy who stole the crap and got everything back. So the first few pictures are when it was in its glory and the last few pictures are of the chassis how I sold it and also of the destroy beams I sold. I heard that they got the truck back to drivable and beat the hell out of it, is it still around. The beams were sold to some guy of RDC so i was wondering if they were still around.

2nd truck is one of my favorite trucks which I shouldn't have sold its a 1994 ranger, it had drop brackets with camburg coil buckets and rancho extended radius arms, the guy who bought it said he had big plans, it was a 3.0 with a 5 speed, i put 5.13 gears in it that bitch was quick for what it was.

3rd is a buggy i bought and never touched I sold it on RDC did it ever get back to driveable state.

4th is my first ranger project truck that I sold just how it is in the pictures a mob of guys came and picked it up and said they were gonna cage it ad stuff, I think they mentioned using it for ROR.

5th is my last sold truck it sold a few months back I think the guy said he was on here I was just wondering the progress on the truck.

Who has this truck, I took this pic 5 years ago this January in front of Harrah's for LDC

And if I remember right, the Class 1 is now RG's Dakar Hummer

I thinks that G&R's chevy prerunner. Geiser Bros rebuilt the front end if I'm not mistaken.

Yup, it was for sale a while back.

the baker expo is a real joke. there is no leg room at all. must of been built for someone with no legs. as for the truck i saw it just the other day and i still drool over it. the fab work looks clean but i am not sure after CEO's truck. cr films and his brother own it. and dont want to touch it until their fab work improves. but their ranger cab/ project is coming along pretty good. i know the links are welded up and some of the mounts for the link. they have beams swingers and beam mounts all ready to go on. last i heard they were on the mullen fabworks waiting list to get a full cab cage. but dont know. ill ask tonight

the green dalton truck is now the brown barnette truck, their yard is down the street from my work, he showed me the truck one day, its kinda beat.

john_b's truck was baker hacked also. looked cool, but scary. thank goodness blitz got ahold of it.

Yes i do have the baker expo, it is sitting in the shop all safe. Still dont have any plans for it at this time..Some day. And yes i do have a ranger project going, but im not going to post pics until it is done. If you want info just ask people that come by the barn. Next month a Full Cage. Here is a pic of both of them.

The red ING chevy got totaled in a wreck. as for the 67 i dont know what happen to it havent talk to the owner in a couple years.

Im pretty sure the first truck you posted was one of the guys that worked for Matt Hotch of Hot Match, I dont think it has been finished.

Last i remember Scott Barnett of Barnett Transportation still has the truck. Its brown and orange now just like most of their Semi's and Lowbeds

Yeah that was my first pimp truck back in the day, I especially like my painted flaming dice that my friend painted for me.

That mid engine 1967 trophy truck is TINA THE SPERM CLEANA!!
i remember that thing from when i used to kick it at steves shop back in the day. i haven't seen her in years

Maybe some of the older DR member's will remember if this is the same truck that was floating around years ago. I believe it used to be white and there was a rear pic of it facing a garage. It may have been owned by someone in AZ.

Anyone know if the new owner of Nandi's truck is on DR?

the very first ranger truggy thing in this thread was being built at matt hotch's shop. The asian dude that built some crazy choppers. It was for sale like a year ago.

Who has the old Herman Motorsports F150 TT that Damen Jeffries used to race? I cant seem to find any pics, but I found an old video of it
