In 2005, Phillip Nel started experimenting with the idea of SA’s own monster trucks, after watching several overseas monster truck shows on DSTV.  

Nobody in this country has ever seen these huge vehicles, or taken a ride in one of them in SA. Of course, those who know Phillip, knows that he likes the idea of always “being different”. He got  hold of a green Landrover Discovery II, and started with a paint job changing the colour to bright red.

Then followed the bigger BMW V12 engine, and of course, what makes Monster trucks what they are; bigger wheels and tyres. These were not big enough however and a year later, Phillip upgraded the tyres to even bigger tyres, and a year later, the tyres currently on the Goliath truck, making it a monster of a Landrover, towering 4.2m high above the ground.

And this is where this dream became a reality, now boasting 2 finished monster trucks, and two more in the pipeline.
