Poster Roy Nakamura over on the SNEHW.COM (Southern New England Hot Wheelers) forums recently took some time to craft a great look at one of the earlier Jada releases. Produced in 2001, very few of these actually made it to retail which has made the rather hard to find at present day.

The Thunder Crusher release was slated to have 6 different Chevy castings which included the S-10, Avalanche, Suburban, 53 Pick Up, Silverado and Astro Van. However, its believed that only four of those casting were ever released. The luck four include the S-10, Suburban, 53 Pick Up and Silverado. In addition to the standard monster truck format, they were also sold as model kits that allowed set of stock truck tires to be replaced with a new chassis and monster tires.
