Jordan Alatorre wanted to build a mini truck with stance and style that could break them loose and drift at a moment's notice. He bought his second truck, the 1987 Toyota Hilux you see here, in Orange County in 2015. Since then he has made several modifications, making the truck low and easier to slide.
