  • Now that the truck is on U.S. soil driving and registered, time to start putting on all the parts I bought while I was waiting for it. This is a 1996 Autozam/Mazda Scrum, aka Suzuki Carry. It is 2wd. I started making this video without much direction, but just wanted to document some maintenance and mods. Always looking for tips and ideas from all of you. Thanks.

    The number one thing I would absolutely do without question, replace your timing belt and water pump. Unless you can find evidence (usually a label) that it's been done in the last 3 or so years. It should have been replaced at 100k KM or 7 years. It's the most likely failure (most catastrophic) you will encounter along with the fuel pump. Also, Replace as many of the vacuum lines in and around the carburetor and fuel lines attached to the fuel tank. This will avoid MANY problems in the future. I just sold my 2wd Daihatsu Super Jumbo. After I went through mine, I drove it everyday to work and it was 100% reliable. Good Luck!

    Mayberry mini trucks sell air filters for 20.00 a piece. I just bought a mini truck from them and got 5 extra ones to have. Everything else he said can be cross referenced. Thanks!

    Should have used kayak handles.
    A lot of kayak accessories would work on this truck too.
    Gear tracks
    Pad Eyes
    Hooks
    Bungees
    Lashing straps
    Soft roof racks

    Your import video helped me to get my own mini truck, so thank you!! Been working on mine for a few months now. Do you have a link to that subway grab handle? Cheers!

      I’m glad it worked out well for you. I got my subway handle from eBay, they are called “tsurikawa” and are sold lots of places.

    Very nice! My 97 Carry is to go the port early June. Can you show those Miata wheels a bit more in the next video? And maybe share where you picked them up from? That’s a great idea and an option I’m considering now.

    • @DentedFenderGarage
      @DentedFenderGarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ll see if I can show more, I did have to modify them to fit, but it wasn’t hard.

    The Miata wheels turned out great! Subway RIng?

    • @DentedFenderGarage
      @DentedFenderGarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      In Japan cars guys used to steal subway rings and attach them to their rear tow points and their car was finally “low enough” when the ring would rub the ground and break. Now it has become a part of JDM car culture.

    Good video! What size tires are you running with those wheels?

    • @DentedFenderGarage
      @DentedFenderGarage  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Those were 165/65-14. Currently on 13” BBS wheels and about to go back to 14s with another tire size.

    Mate, you just need to petition your congress (or maybe senate, not sure but I think congress would be better), so that all cars in the U.S. drive on the left hand side of the road, which is the the right side of the road and not on the right hand side, which is the wrong side. Frombie 10:48

    How does it drive with them wheels Thinking about getting some for my 96 Carry. They fit without having to lift it right ?

    • @DentedFenderGarage

      Feels same as stock but there is front hub center clearance that you can either file away or use a small spacer

      Mine is not authentic, but you can find them all over eBay just search “tsurikawa.”

    Hey man! just wondering, how's the performance with the 14 inch rims on? we have the same kei truck model

    • @DentedFenderGarage
      @DentedFenderGarage  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The ride is smoother. As you probably realize, these trucks are geared very low so a taller tire would usually hurt low end performance, but the low gearing makes it work.

    • @philipreasons3298
      @philipreasons3298 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Rim size doesn’t matter much.
      It is the outside diameter of the tire that effects overall gear ratio .

      I like my wheels. We do not have lots of small wheels here in the US. There is more coming to this build but I don’t need push start or backup camera for this basic pickup.
