Nick Migues Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 James Trantina continues to make more noise in the monster truck industry. He has announced the purchase of 2 of JR McNeals trucks. James will be getting the 2 in house chassis- the green chassis that was Xtermigator, and the grey chassis that was Jack Browns FTI Torque. James is also getting the 3D Gator and Wolf bodies, but not the Xtermigator or Wolfs Head names. JR is keeping the PEI chassis which is Razin Kane and Jamie Sullivan’s FTI Torque. The list will be updated to reflect James purchases when he takes ownership of said trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Migues Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 2 more sales have occured in the monster truck industry! The first is 2xtreme racing is officially expanding with 5 trucks; purchasing the old Evil Twizt truck from Tre Knight, which sports a fairly new Flame Motorsports chassis. The truck will be named Brutal and debuts July 9th in Elkhorn Wisconsin. The other purchase is a newcomer into the sport. Brandon Swick has purchased Stripling Warrior, which is the former Maniac PEI chassis. Stripling Warrior was 100% completed after being freshened up, but never competed. Brandon has named it Geronimo, sporting a 61 Chevy pickup body. It will debut June 18th at the MTRL event in Salida, Colorado. Edit to add a 3rd sale: it’s been announced that Mike Harper has expanded and purchased Black Gold; the former teammate truck to Creten’s new truck Brutal. It is unclear what body this truck will run, but Harper will be at 10 trucks, as he is also building a brand new truck as well. My guess is he will have 2 tours running 4 trucks with 1 backup truck for each tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Migues Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 Another sale- Chris Whatley has sold his truck Mississippi Nightmare to Kevin Lubsen, who has changed the name to SWAT.

Nick Migues Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 They do but that doesn’t really apply to this thread lol. Anyways Ryan and Josh Holman have expanded again, purchasing Roger Gaugers first Quadzilla that was built in the late 90s. Roger sold the truck and it sat with another owner since 2006 and it was recently posted for sale and the Holmans scooped it up. They of course also have Amped Up and the former Illuminator PEI that they’re rebuilding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Migues Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 On 10/3/2022 at 11:05 AM, Chaos2TheMax said: Mike Harper has bought GunSlinger, along with the hauler as well Harper only bought the trailer. The Gunslinger truck is for sale but Harper did not buy the Gunslinger the truck or semi, just the trailer. Creten is borrowing the trailer for now. In other news John Fitzgerald has sold his 2nd Turbulence truck to an undisclosed buyer. For now the truck will stay in Johns name until the new owner is announced. The truck is a J&B that debuted in 2016 as Stinger, then ran as Master of Disaster in 2017-2018. Rettew sold it in 2019, and it ran one time at a race track in CA with Barry Parkin driving, then Lee Plato bought it. The only time it ran under Platos ownership was as Mizz Titan for a few shows in 2021, before Lee sold it to John, who hasn't done anything with the truck since buying it.

Not sure how I missed that lol Also, Split Personality has been sold, both the race truck and ride truck to a new owner in Texas according to the team. It's unknown at this time who got the truck, so for now Arliss will stay listed as the owner just as Turbulence has for now. Ed Eckert still has Full Boar for sale, and Roger Gauger has both County Mounty and Bootlegger for sale. Gunslinger is also still for sale as well.

Nick Migues Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Another sale! As you all know by now, Team Throttle Monster is building a brand new Eddie chassis to replace the Vendetta KCM- but it’s not being retired. They have sold the KCM to Elliott Miller who will be expanding to 2 trucks to go along with sinistar. It seems the KCM will become Reckless Driving- tho it’s unknown what will happen to the current reckless driving truck. The KCM chassis debuted as Kamikaze in 2016, then became Vendetta in 2018 and has been Vendetta since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
