Here's a cool story. So I went to Hagerstown in 2017 and the day I went just so happened to be Gary Porter's very final show. Once he was done freestyle the truck actually caught fire he was okay then the drivers all circled around basically I guess to wish him good luck in the future. afterwards I went to the car and my mom went back to the after show pit party. I was lucky enough to actually get his hat he wore at the event sign by Gary Porter himself. I still have the hat to this day with his autograph in metallic marking. Still in my closet. I never forgot that day.
All 3 of the trucks you mentioned still run in monster jam. They choose to run FELD bodies so that they dont have to pay for their own bodies. Saves a lot of money
@@domd5989 no. Independent trucks have to pay for their own bodies. With custom trucks like brutus and ice cream man, it can get expensive. Monster jam let's them run FELD bodies on their trucks, meaning independent teams get to save a buttload of money.
This is pretty cool. All of those trucks still exist today!? That's incredible! Thanks for showing them to me! Also, you were up until 5:00 in the morning making this!? Wow! That's dedication right there, man!
You mentioned that the truck King Krunch debuted back in 1984 and the original driver was David Smith. David Smith took over the truck when the ORIGINAL driver was Scott Stephens.
Hey monster jam Fantastic can you do a video about these trucks if they are still around!!?? Wild thang, instagator, sheer Insanity, captain USA, Terminater, tropical thunder, Fluffy, cyborg, knuckle head, and I have noticed that blue thunder and gas monkey garage hasn't been running for a few years😶??
idk why im saying this but meg, el toro loco, scooby,superman,batman, spiderman, dalmatian, and grave digger are my favs and i own the 3 superhero trucks as toys
Last show from David Smith in King Krunch was Lafayette Louisiana 2017 I believe. It’s now owned by Dillion Fenley and has ran since then the only monsterjam appearance it made was at the last world finals for pit party. It has done no monsterjam shows since 2016.
I have a higher education truck toy so that means he's still exist one eye open while it has the Monster Jam title in it and I also comes with a bounty hunter I think he's the older trucks is Medusa I can't believe it's some trucks are still around today but some of them and they can get retired or some of them they can go to a brand new stadium or brand new titles actually I think I have some for Brutus man also I heard the regular Grave Digger still around today from 2012 they show us the old Grave Digger hey I have a toy of Predator but I lost it the animal predator not the one you just show me the second one of predator
King Krunch doesn’t run MJ shows. The truck and new driver Dillon Fendley run the MAP Motorsports tour and other independent shows. But as far as Monster Jam it hasn’t ran a FELD show in quite a few years, so it was not in Anaheim this year
I thought quad chaos was a monster jam truck but it wasn’t I hadn’t seen it forever until last year it and dirt crew were both there I though they were gone
It was going to be a Monster truck racing league event. cuz I have a beach house actually right near the speedway where they have them. But because of the pandemic the show never happened and it got rescheduled to June this year. I'll go still I don't know the lineup though
MonsterJamFanatic I thought the same thing, I found this “Fandom” website called “Monster trucks wiki” and it gives you all the information you need to know about monster trucks, and it shows all of the trucks’ world finals appearances, and some of them say “1999” and I never heard of a world finals in 1999, but look up “Monster trucks wiki World Finals 0” and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Actuqlly no sometimes they just dont race them or like in the case of trucks like goldberg or an escalaed (i hope i spelt the trucks name right) get turned to new trucks goldberg is now max d an escalaed is now mohawk warrior

I was at Gary Porter's last show. He gave me his hat signed.
Awesome!
Thank god War Wizard still exist, I still remember when I was 9 in Atlanta in 2006 and war wizard hit that amazing air in freestyle
I Love war wizard!
I never seen war wizard because my first time in monster jam was in anaheim 2018
The only time I've ever seen War Wizard was in Detroit in..... i think 2017
I think the only time I saw him was 2016 Houston in the fox sports one series
@@XG-OFFICIAL-59 I saw War Wizard in Detroit 2016
I love monster jam but I have to watch it on tv now cuz the stadium was torn down so this video brings back some child hood memories
I’d love to see team scream bring out mega bite and spike more often, and it’d be awesome to see elmatador run along with king krunch
I hope feld makes some changes to let independent trucks race. I would adore to see brutus, ice cream man, and razin kane make their comeback in MJ

Backdraft is one of my favorite trucks ever
I love backdraft!
I remember him in the world final 2011 when have lost a gum
This is pretty cool. All of those trucks still exist today!? That's incredible! Thanks for showing them to me! Also, you were up until 5:00 in the morning making this!? Wow! That's dedication right there, man!
Haha yep once i started i though i might as well finished so i stayed up late but it was worth it if this video gets a lot of views!
@@MJFanatic Well, it definitely showed because this video was awesome!
I appreciate it buddy!
@@MJFanatic No problem! Talk to you later!
See ya man!
The last one mcruff the crime dog I actually saw a few years ago and one of my local monster jam shows
I've actually didn't know Madusa came back racing! I'm really shocked!
She Did!

You mentioned that the truck King Krunch debuted back in 1984 and the original driver was David Smith. David Smith took over the truck when the ORIGINAL driver was Scott Stephens.
I saw mcgruff at Glendale 2016
Nice!
Omg! I am so glad Backdraft and King Crunch are still around. I like Backdraft and King Crunch was one of the first monster trucks I’ve seen
Backdraft and Eradicator are awesome. I remember meeting Jeremy and he seemed so happy to meet fans and enthusiastic to perform.
Agreed!
I agree to
Higher Education debuted an alter-ego in 2018 called Taurus.
Taurus has been around since the 80’s
@@MJFanatic It's the Vaters version I was referring to.
Oooh
I’m a lot more happy that King Krunch is still going
A truck that i miss i doomsday, it was cool and a little misterious because you did not know who was driving it.
This video was great and that is true about these trucks.
Glad you enjoyed!
War wizard was at an event in Harrisburg pa this past weekend it was white with purple rims
Yay
Yessir
Fun fact I saw Brutus at the monster jam show at the Jackson coliseum in 2019
Hey monster jam Fantastic can you do a video about these trucks if they are still around!!?? Wild thang, instagator, sheer Insanity, captain USA, Terminater, tropical thunder, Fluffy, cyborg, knuckle head, and I have noticed that blue thunder and gas monkey garage hasn't been running for a few years😶??
I’ll see!
@@MJFanatic ok
Blue Thunder runs in the triple threat or arena series I forgot which one but it’s still around and it’s driven by Matt Cody.
I am not sure though about Gas Monkey Garage.
My grandparents before madusa moved they use to live 10 mins away from her
I swear to god I had that game your playing on my dads old iPad...
idk why im saying this but meg, el toro loco, scooby,superman,batman, spiderman, dalmatian, and grave digger are my favs and i own the 3 superhero trucks as toys
My mom takes me to Monster Jam all the time
I would like too see bigfoot back in action at monster jam
Maniac still competing gives me such happiness. (I miss captains curse though)
Oh okay aweomse
@@MJFanatic also, what about Spike and Megabite?
Not Sure Actually, Pretty Sure they’re still around
I saw Brutus last year at the dirt oval
When I think of King Krunch I think of Scott Stevens behind the wheel. Thanks I didn’t know he wasn’t the original driver
i just saw war wizard last month on a monsters of destructions event
I'm going to be seeing the new Carolina crusher in fredonia PA and possibly Shelbyville TN I can't wait
Nice video
Thanks!
I saw Higher Education at Monster Jam in Hagerstown, so it still runs even on MJ!
im a monster jam fan
I’ve actually seen Brutus in Nashville
I KNEW HIGHER EDUCATION WAS STILL HERE
I actually saw predator 2 days ago at a full throttle monster truck show in Kentucky
Bruh imagine having all retired trucks come back
Last show from David Smith in King Krunch was Lafayette Louisiana 2017 I believe. It’s now owned by Dillion Fenley and has ran since then the only monsterjam appearance it made was at the last world finals for pit party. It has done no monsterjam shows since 2016.
I do remember seeing retro body running in an indy show a year or two ago tho
I seen higher education in the jersey truck show like 2017
Hey I have that game love ur vids man ur amazing ur so nice
Thanks Man!
5:37 i rember back in 1998 to 1999 when it was one of the most popular monster trucks
Same for Brutus and spike
I’ve seen Brutus and met the driver 2 times in real life
I saw king krunch at my local dirt track this past summer
Oh awesome! I hope i get to see him sometime soon!
Mcgruff is running this year in 2020 last year rod wood ran the American Made body
In Monster Jam?
MonsterJamFanatic last time mcgruff ran monster jam was 2018. Rod said his son Murphy will take over monster jam shows for him in the near future
CreatorOfChaosXV sign up for my sign up series
Oh sweet i’m looking forward to that
@@vafilms7722 why do I feel like there was someone who ran Mcgruff before rod under the name
I have a higher education truck toy so that means he's still exist one eye open while it has the Monster Jam title in it and I also comes with a bounty hunter I think he's the older trucks is Medusa I can't believe it's some trucks are still around today but some of them and they can get retired or some of them they can go to a brand new stadium or brand new titles actually I think I have some for Brutus man also I heard the regular Grave Digger still around today from 2012 they show us the old Grave Digger hey I have a toy of Predator but I lost it the animal predator not the one you just show me the second one of predator
what did i just read
Huh?
@@monsterjamkid4015,,
1:25 well umm… I think madusa was retired… Backfired
Will you do a part two
I remember watching Jeremy take an upset freestyle win on TV several years ago, can't remember the year or venue.
Hey I have a toy version of hydrogenation with a brand new one now it has like the BK T tires
Nice
King Krunch doesn’t run MJ shows. The truck and new driver Dillon Fendley run the MAP Motorsports tour and other independent shows. But as far as Monster Jam it hasn’t ran a FELD show in quite a few years, so it was not in Anaheim this year
Oh gotcha
Madusa is in monster truck rumble I saw madusa in 2021
Yeah from me about Maniac your welcome 😎😂😂
I mean thanks but it was more than just you that said something lol
MonsterJamFanatic figures lol
Reptoid also isnt retired
I’ve seen higher education in real life and met the driver 2 times
I’m suprised he did not say over kill evaluation
You know what’s crazy I found an older maniac monster truck for sale for 200,000 on racing junk
ice cream man is in monster jam steel titans 2 by the way what happened to avenger
I miss Some of the trucks that was in this video
None of them are retired though.
Yeah haha
I thought quad chaos was a monster jam truck but it wasn’t I hadn’t seen it forever until last year it and dirt crew were both there I though they were gone
It’s an independent
Is Dennis anderson still around?
He retired in 2017 i think.
Ye
He retired after trying a backflip and hurt himself badly
Yeah:(
From what i can hear he broke his arm hurt his collarbone and burst his lung which made internal bleeding
Reptoid is kinda around right?
I think he’s just a display truck at the world finals i could be wrong tho
Yes Reptoid is still a race truck, not just a display. Mark Peterson owns and drives it now
Madusa still exists
Me: hold up
Is Max D blackout world fianls 18 your favorite MonsterJamFanatic
If you’re talking about steel titans it may be that or Dragonoid
No I’m talking about the diecast
Ok Dragonoid has been upgraded full and Grave digger and son uva digger are max full also
Ohh then are you talking about mix 09
Yeah
I didn’t think higher education was retired, I think I saw Carolina crusher when I was little when it was my first show at Qualcomm
I saw carolina crusher in 2014!
I saw it in 2017
i miss captains curse and backwords bob
Def.
Higher education is in monster jam steel titans 2

The Monster Truck wikia says that Jurassic Attack's driver is planing on bringing back the truck
really? Ididn’t see that
@@MJFanatic check Jurassic's wiki again.
@@MJFanatic it's where it says "History"
Oh, and if Maniac isn't retired, that means Jurassic is still around.
And now he's back
Actually it turns out, the first World Finals was 1999.
How

oh wow!
Yes it was, in St. Louis
@@TPNitrocircus199 Yeah, that’s right.
You forgot grinder there’s another version and another tour that’s sponsored by auto advance
Grinder Has Been Retired for years..
I saw it like 3 or so times cuz I went to M&T Bank stadium from 2011-2013
Why is monster patrol not in there u can find hem in Mississippi
My favorite truck is old blue thunder ever but does not exist no more put old blue thunder in
It’s so sad that backwards bob isn’t coming back, Unless...... I make one just like it as a adult🤔
Yeah it sucks
I miss dooms day
Blue thunder
What about blue thunder
Still Competes Internationally here and there
What about bad habit
Nah i’d say it’s pretty well known that bad habit has made its return
I thought Brutus was gone but the internet hit me hard
Nope i still see him every year!
MonsterJamFanatic good because he one of my fav trucks
Nice
MonsterJamFanatic yes it is a good time
I'm seeing him at Kutztown PA and I can't wait. It's a monster truck throwdown event.
I thought Brutus still ran now in monster jam.
Well mcgruff is
I have a monster truck history playlist if you want to stay at
Oh sweet!
the moon king sign up for my sign up series
@@curriegaming8301 ok 👍
Madusa came back?
The people who think trucks like Brutus are retired are most likely the same people that give 10s to grave diggers and females.
When the title said that still exist it sound like you mean’t that when they retire they get destroyed
Umm
Actuqlly no sometimes they just dont race them or like in the case of trucks like goldberg or an escalaed (i hope i spelt the trucks name right) get turned to new trucks goldberg is now max d an escalaed is now mohawk warrior
what about the felon is that truck retired?
The Felon And Devastator or currently just in a hiatus, they both compete at aneheim at times
@@MJFanatic
Captains Curse, Dooms Day and Spiderman are on hiatus.
TwistedAxles912 if you consider spider man to be in a hiatus then in that logic all superhero trucks are because marvel trucks don’t perform
Destroyer is on hiatus too. Financial issues I heard.
What happened to hot wheels in monster jam?
Spin Master Took Over And Hot Wheels Started Making Their Own Trucks
@@MJFanatic but why did hot wheels left the sport?
because hot wheels is no longer a sponsor
@@MJFanatic did their contract expired pr something?
Yes
Krazy Train and bear foot are not retired
I knew none of them were retired
Ahh good for you
