High Roller Monster Truck

High Roller Monster Truck Check our events and come see us! High Roller was built in 1985 by David Mattingly of Fordsville, KY. The truck was valued at $25,000 at that time.

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.

Back in 2017 Jeff had a crazy thought about C**t Cobra’s backstory… “what did Gene drive in high school and how did that lead to Snakebite monster truck?”

A little over four months ago, a couple of pieces fell into place and the build started. You guys saw that vision come to life on Saturday.

First and foremost, thanks to BIGFOOT 4X4, INC. for allowing us to use the name for one day to make this to happen!

Thanks to Gene for playing along and Habo for facilitating the interview and surprise.

Smitty gets credit for the majority of the fabrication and several long hauls to grab Jeff’s marketplace treasures. Ben helped Smitty with the build.

Dan at Knucklehed Kustom Art knocked it out of the park with the pinstriping and lettering.

Henry did the patina paint on the shocks, traction bars and bed bar like a pro.

And when it appeared that all hope might be lost, with less than a week remaining before the Open House, thanks to Shane and Amanda Kaiser (and their employee Seth) for saving the project and then graciously hauling it in behind their amazing truck the Blacksmith.

And as always, none of this would be possible without the support of Mrs High Roller herself, Sheila.

Fixing’ to add another 400-500 lbs of BIGFOOT mud to my yard so we can get busy fixing everything that Rodman knocked loose on his gonzo car crush yesterday.

Give us a little time to properly edit the photos and video but soon we’ll show the most air this old truck has ever gotten flying over cars!

To poke a little more at the Snake C**t Cobra, who thinks he can steal the show this weekend with his plastic truck and dominate attention over the mighty Bigfoot and High Roller, well we don't play with plastic trucks, we grew up with Tonka steel.
Classic vs Plastic, you tell us.

What do we really know about this C**t Cobra and his charming little Snake Bite? Did he get his driving skills by watching awesome Bigfoot videos? Were the residents of Cobra Creek scared to meet him on the roadways during his youthful slithering ways? What did the infamous C**t Cobra drive in those early days? Could he aford an AC Cobra? The Dodge Viper was beyond his youthful years. Or maybe he drove an AMC Pacer. What do our fans think C**t Cobra cruised around in? We want to see your comments.
