| devious Customs shop Crew Trucks
If you've been minitruckin' for the past few years, then you've heard about Devious Customs. You don't have to be from So Cal to know who these guys are. Jeff Davy and his crew have made a hell of a name for themselves not only in the minitruckin' scene, but the whole automotive and truckin' life. Jeff is no stranger to challenging jobs and embraces them with open arms. Devious has rolled out some very popular trucks in the past few years and will continue to do so. The key to their success is staying true to their word and standing by their work.
On any given day, you can stop by Devious and find them hard at work. We here at Mini Truckin' were most impressed to find an assortment of mini trucks, including past features that were in for a face lift. Every corner of the shop was filled with people working hard on innovative projects, including the crazy S-10 with a Colorado face. Devious specializes in anything minitruckin' and, of course, they have turned out some pretty impressive full sizes, as well. One full-size in particular, that stood out to me, is the very impressive Nissan Titan, which really helped put them on the map. It's projects like this, and the killer minis, that help to keep Devious ahead of the competition.
