High Roller was built in 1985 by David Mattingly of Fordsville, KY and continues to thrill fans today as the oldest original steel bodied monster truck that still regularly crushes cars! The design was heavily influenced by Bigfoot 1, the Original Monster Truck. Greg Coston purchased High Roller in 1986 when he traded a Boss 429 Mustang plus $6,000 cash for it. Greg and his friend Rodman Hobbs enj

oyed the truck and performed many car crushes at Ford dealers, county fairs and jamborees. Greg sold High Roller to Lewis Ford in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1989. There is was modified by adding 66 inch tires and removing the flares. High Roller was sold to a body shop in Oklahoma where it was rebodied and painted red. It was sold again to a tire shop in Oklahoma City were it was used as advertising. It eventually was donated to a church youth group, renamed Higher Power and sat in a field for a decade. Jeff Krekeler of Farmington, Missouri purchased it from a craigslist ad early in 2015 with the intention of building a Bigfoot tribute truck. He was surprised when Rodman Hobbs tracked him down and shared the High Roller history, eventually convincing Jeff to fully restore the truck in time for the 2016 Indy 4x4 Jamboree. Jeff enlisted the help of his brother-in-law Rob Maize and Alan Fenstermaker of Performance, Inc in Sparta, MO to make the restoration a reality. High Roller is now available for displays, car crushes, exhibitions and parties. Please contact us through facebook messaging.

We learned recently that the company that licensed us for High Roller Bourbon is "undergoing changes" and canceled our agreement.

The good news for you is that the surplus inventory was liquidated and is currently available from online resellers at deeply discounted pricing while it lasts.

Edit/update: Guys, we don’t have a liquor license and we can’t sell the bourbon. You’ll need to search “high roller bourbon” and choose an online retailer to purchase it from. There are multiple options selling it for less than $20 per bottle.
