Yep. They moved it to Famoso this year. Same with me, I've been going to these for the last 20 years or more. Show truck turnout was still pretty good. Drags, there was only like 10 trucks that ran. I think spectator attendance looked low. Probably because its now located so far out. Where...

Remember the MTV's "Trick my Truck" from the early 2000's One of the customizers were the Pickett brothers. Well they still do custom trucks and this is their personal Toterhome. Love this one as you cant see any windows in it. The paint and window tint are almost the same color.

Another smaller Toterhome that was at the same show.

Here's one for you RV guys. This Toterhome has a 436 inch wheel base. Those big cross country charter buses only have a average wheelbase of 315 inches. Double sided slide outs. Look at the length of the drivers side slide out. Absolutely insane.

Todd Lemke's Toaster is something else. 1966 GMC on a 2012 Dodge 3500 chassis stuffed with a Cummins out of the same truck. Truck cab has been extended 10". Custom made dual wheel adapters were made by him so he can run Walker wheels on a dually set up. Brand new smooth side fiberglass...

My younger kid picked up a clean 2017 GMC Denali Duramax a month ago. Just got it leveled and his new wheels and tires on it Saturday. Went with Parallel Forged wheels and 35" Nittos. Parallel Forged wheels are like Innov8 wheels but a little cheaper. But to me(his dad) were still to...

Went to the Truckin for Kids semi truck show and drags in Bakersfield. Obviously with the Montana plates we know this Ram Dually has some key emission components missing. Haha Crazy how these Walker wheels are making a big comeback on the large size trucks now. Also how wheel color...

Crappy pic But cool sleeper looking truck. Full fabricated rear end. Long travel up front. Still rocking the stock front bumper.

Couple trucks from our local Coffee and Cars on Saturday

Still think having BLGT area in one of the shows would be awesome. Show some folks that you can still have fun in a leaf sprung and A-Arm and just overall budget build trucks. Seems like Terra turned into high end builds now. Would be nice if these 2 shows took a que from the Grand National...

Yeah my kid said the frontage road seems too smooth compared to years ago. He most of it was just small chatter bumps.

So here's the run down on my Nephew in Law's 4th attempt to race his Speed UTV car. Last year was a mess. 1st race he did get 2nd but the car didn't complete the whole race, It broke in multiple different area's. 2nd race car decided it wouldn't start when they called the cars to the line. DNS...
