Just want to let you know that your video of Top Secret RTP in Durham, NC got me over to their site and my first Kei Truck. 1999 Daihatsu Hijet. I appreciate all your videos, man!
I love what you guys did to the ACTY. It really turned out nice. I agree about the all time 4WD. It just seems more practical to have the truck in 2WD for 90% of your driving, yet have 4WD available when you need it. All time 4WD slows the vehicle, and reduces the gas mileage. When it comes to mini trucks I'm leaning more towards the Daihatsu or the Suzuki. I like the Sambar, but the rear engine seems to vulnerable do damage should someone rear end you. My ideal mini truck: 1.push button or lever 2WD/4WD 2. Manual transmission 3. Stock size wheels, for gas mileage and speed, with on/off road tires 4. A quiet exhaust, because I enjoy quiet. 5. roof rack. 6. sound deadening in the interior 7. LED lights
Is there a guide out there to all the mini trucks? I think it would be badass if you took your knowledge and makes a “models” video for all the keitrucks including ones to avoid.
I think some other creatures and myself have made videos going over them all. For me I believe you should buy the truck based off the features it has like 5spd.4wd.AC. ect
Happy Xmas from Leeds England, New York looks cold. Regarding the Honda Acty it's 1 of the slowest Kei pickups from it's time top speed is 65mph from it's 43bhp. Ths Sambar is the only Kei pickup that's restricted to 87mph Which you will know Nick that is the top speed of any Kei as they are restricted to that just like all European cars are limited to 155mph. Your right about not painting the bed it shows what it is, it's honest not hiding anything. Until you're Videos I've never seen any type of Kei with roof racks the fuel economy must be affected by it. If they are used in Europe they are an aerodynamic box that attaches to the roof rails. When driving the pickup did you actually use the brakes when changing down a gear?

If you got rear ended in any kei truck engine location would be your last worry honestly
Hands down best looking Acty in my opinion and taste. Hope I bring it home! 🧇
I’ll drive it to you 🤙
Just found your channel. Great content. How hard is it to find a Jumbo ?
Pretty rare but not impossible
Happy Holidays my man!
Merry Christmas to you and the fam!
How about a light bar on the front of the rack.
Wouldn’t hurt but not very useful in NYC lol
@@Waybeforethefame True!!
Nice video showcasing what you guys do best!!! I really appreciate what you guys do!!!
Merry Xmas!!! 😎🤙🍻🎄
Merry Christmas to you too!
Do you have a link for the roof rack and its standoffs?
I believe it’s a modified rack from harbor fright. Made short to fit the truck
Merry Christmas, love your videos, any information on the power locks door and the power windows I need to do that to my Acty🙏🏼

It's great for camper build

Any more info on the power windows? Is it aftermarket and if so do you know what was used?

I have a list of Hijet parts I'll pay and hope you can get for me when you're in Japan.
Pretty sure they can be found now and shipped to you. Message me on Patreon
