Yamanami Off Road 1981 Mugs
Description: The Motocross des Nations is an annual motocross race held since 1947. Great Britain, Belgium, and Sweden dominated the racing series in the early days, but just like the "Miracle on Ice" shocked the hockey world in 1980, the U.S. team turned motocross upside down at the 1981 des Nations event. The U.S. had never won or even come close to winning, and with such a bad record, assembling riders for a team was tough to say the least. It was so tough, that the U.S. didn't even send teams in '79 and '80. 1981 was a different story, as America showed up, and when the flag dropped, Team U.S.A. shocked the racing world as they won Trophée des Nations. The 1981 event was the start of a winning streak at des Nations that lasted until 1994.
Description: These British four-wheel-drive vehicles are nearly unstoppable and while they have deviated considerably from their roots in recent decades, the classics still have a huge fan base and are very much on (and off) the road around the world.

Whether using their ATC for work or play, one thing became apparent - people needed a way to carry stuff, be it plants and soil for the garden or beer and brats for the beach. Dico Manufacturing had already been making trailer parts and accessories for some time, so they designed a simple and affordable trailer to address the cargo needs of ATC riders. Utilizing many of their off the shelf parts along with a custom formed heavy duty plastic tub, and they had a ready to go trailer and spun up a new division, Dico Trailers. The ATC trailer was a hit and sold well, which led to the creation of new models.
Description: The 720 pickup was Datsun's first foray into the 4-wheel drive mini-truck market in both long bed and extra-cab variants. It was introduced as a 1980 model and continued until 1986 when the Hardbody style (model D-21) was introduced as a 1986.5 model. Prior models of Datsun mini-trucks were the 521 and 620 which did not offer a 4-wheel drive option. The 720 featured an independent front suspension with torsion bar springs, a leaf spring live axle rear suspension, and a 4 cylinder engine displacing 2.0 liters at introduction, later enlarged to 2.4 liters. The manual transmission on the 720 drove a divorced transfer case that required extra clearance over a married setup. This resulted in the 720 4x4 models having a lifted look.
