- Took a trip down to Port Aransas, TX for my girlfriend's birthday. The van had a birthday too. We took a ferry, drove on the beach, and put over 1200 miles/1942 kilometers on the van. Little bit of biking and a lot of fun!

![[Fall car camping] light Kei truck 4x4 trip with mini bikes](/img/n.gif)
I will always be charmed by a kei vehicle parked between 2 pickups.
6k rpms at 60mph is wild I would be afraid of blowing it up
I was too, but it’s still doing great! I drive it on the highway twice a week
I’ve driven mine coast to coast three times now without issues! Just cruise around 85kph the whole time avoiding highways
I was bout to say the same, im gettin mine this month but in auto i should ve gotten a 5 spd 😢😢..mine will suffer on hwy@@adamleebmx
I don’t know why but I watched this whole thing
I really appreciate it!
The Pokemon music is a nice touch.
Change the oil after beating on it at 100 kph. Be nice to that little engine. Great trip; great memories.
Yeah it definitely deserves a fresh oil change!
Great van, and nice video. Just shows what sensible and intelligent use of space is all about. Keep her safe. 👍😎❤️
Thanks! Glad you liked it
I clicked because I just bought a Street from japan and anxiously awaiting its arrival in the US. I stayed for the cool vibes from the rest of video and you earned the "like" from the michael scott in the middle. Thanks for the vid and happy travels
Congrats! It’s such a fun, neat little vehicle. I will say it’s larger than I thought it would be before mine arrived. Thank you man!
Вы молоды и красивы,счастья и благополучия вам.Мне бы ваш движок на свой ,Хайджетик,,вообще цены бы не было.Удачи вам!!!!!
Hope you've got insurance. That's like a 1600$ piece of glass!
found one for $950!
Fantastic journey! I cant wait to take my truck up to the mountains
Awesome trip. You got some bike skills. Pretty dope we got to see you hit 70k on the odometer.
Thanks! I told the van happy birthday more than my gf... lol
@@adamleebmx lolol. She'll understand.
Kei japanese van. Unbreakable, reliable, bullet proof than all the land rovers put together.
agreed
Watching from Tokyo. Much love
So cool! Thank you!
That was such an enjoyable video thanks for bringing us along
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That’s beautiful beach!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Yall went to the great ocean!?!?
Son of a 🏖️
:) WELL DONE! LOVED it! I wondered hoe it would do on our freeways, just as you showed, stay in right lane, all is good :) ALL the BEST and Cheers from PNWest! :)
Thanks for the video! The ocean is just wonderful and a cool car! It's so cool that you can rest in peace ) You are well done. greetings from Ukraine
Greetings! The beach was so nice
I’m loving that-ruby sapphire sap 3 music
Fits the 90’s Jdm micro van vibes well
Just watched this whole video.... 11 months after it dropped and honestly i feel like weve become bestfriends and i want yall to come to NYC to visit now xD
Really appreciate it! Maybe we'll make it up there some time
Let’s see a full camp build out for it. Sick little van!!!
I’ve got a full size foam mattress that fits perfectly in the back, I’ll make a camping video sometime
Just drove 400 miles and back in my 88 geo metro swap samurai on 33’s. Feel like we had similar trips haha
Nice Keivan. Nice Trip 👍❇️
Thanks! It was a fun trip
Awesome Van! Very cool setup. New follower here. Crow✌️
Thanks I appreciate it!
Greatest video on youtube!!!!!!
Yoooo much appreciated man! I've definitely watched a bunch of your videos!
Great can great video, does your van have 4x4? Oh I see you still tried to get your biking in despite the temp. Go boy. Great show. Safe travels in that beautiful Honda ACTY Van. Blessings from ATX.... I'm getting my Subaru Sambar at the end of March 2023 can't wait.
I got my sambar in august! its an absolute blast and im sure you will love it!
Thanks! Yes mine has realtime awd. I actually just got back from drifting at COTA during super lap battle, maybe we'll cross paths one day.
Let's goo 🤙
🤝
Pretty cool of you in the little van ,your bike is about to give up on you I heard your bearings are given up on you pretty soon , so be careful on it
Haha yeah my spokes were super loose, I tightened them up when I got home. Thanks for watching!
Looking to pick-up a KEI truck for Texas driving. Noticed your license plate. How did you get it licensed in Texas? Much of the info out there is confusing. Thanks, Ed B.
25 years or older can be registered with only a safety inspection and insurance (I use Hagerty). I had mine titled in Washington through the importer when I bought it, made transfering it to Texas much easier
I just got mine done and yes tx is trying to keep em off the streets but depending what county u r in and how strict they are you'll be alright if not keep trying ..it took us a full month to get my 92 acty registered 😢😢
Adam and Cassie, this video filled me with so much joy. I love your zest for life. Love the little triple hum of the motor. What does the plate FRTNWRP signify?
So glad to hear that, we had a great time. FRTNWRP is my business Fortune Wraps in Plano, TX. We do car wraps and protection films. I also make videos there if you care to check those out!
fart n wrap XD@@adamleebmx
Noice. You’re on the beach like 1/4 mile from my parents place. I ride those spots on my BMX when I’m down there.
That’s dope! I’m definitely going back when it’s warmer
僕も20年前同じ車を所有していました。懐かしいです。燃費もいいしエンジンも来られにくいし車ですよー
Very cool!
I did a quick calculation. That's 45mpg on the highway, going 6000rpm.
sorry for the confusion, 24mpg as that was my second fill up in the video
Own a 90 Subaru Sambar Try XS and 'peak torque' on them is 3800ish and flat to roughly 5000rpm. Once you go past 5K the MPGs will tank.@@adamleebmx
100 kph = 62 mph. @ 6000 rpm……
Was it loud?
日本ではまず見かけない、旧型のアクティバンを愛用していることに感謝いたします🥰
They are rare here, are they pretty rare over there too?
I have an interest in K vehicles, but barely able to do 55 mph, and barely getting 20 mpg, is stopping me.
It'll top out at 74mph, gets about 25mpg cruising at 6000 rpm
Is it hard to find parts or repair when in need? I've been thinking of buying one but not sure what it's like to own one
Luckily I haven't needed to service anything yet, it's been very reliable for its age *knocks on wood*
Hey man, is your van turbo or supercharged? or just the standard kei?
I had a suzuki every van, but I living in a hilly area so it was too dangerous on the freeway. Though I'm seriously considering another kei van, but I'll need a few extra horses next time.
No but this one is one of the few fuel injected ones for a 95
A tachometer AND an odometer trip meter? Well la ti dah! Aren't you special? 🙂
I don't drive my Hijet pickup on the highway. Today I bought the components to reupholster the seats. I'll be making the seat bottoms three inches thick. Maybe after that, I'd be willing to take the Hijet on a long trip on secondary roads. I also bought the components to add heated seats in my Hijet. Well la ti dah! Aren't I special? 🙂
I had a VW bus and VW camper van in the 80s. I'd love to have a 4WD kei van, although I've been contemplating making a drop-in camper for my kei truck. See Olympic Overland and Mike Festiva for details.
I have aspirations to drive and camp on Texas' Gulf beach, but farther south. I'm going to ride my baby GS adventure bike from central Kentucky to watch a SpaceX Starship launch in Boca Chica.
Very cool! That ride from Kentuky to Boca Chica sounds fun!
@@adamleebmx - It'll be my first time on the Natchez Trace. I'll probably take a month long trip through the desert southwest. I haven't been on a vacation in so long that I can't remember. You two seem to be enjoying your youth. I have a lot of great memories from trips I took when younger, rock climbing, mountain biking and white water kayaking. You will not regret your fun travels when you're older. Have fun (as much as possible during The Fall of the American Empire) and take lots of pictures!
Just found out about Kei vans (i know I’m late to the party) but i love your videos Adam! Will continue binging and getting inspired to buy one myself maybe… how is it driving on the right side? I‘ve only ever driven automatic and on the right side so this seems… uncomfortable. Anyways, cheers!
Just learned about kei vans too, now i just can’t stop watching videos about it. Hope to get one soon.
It's not too strange driving on the right side, the turn signals and wipers are opposite of lhd cars so that always trips me up when I get in my other car lol
My question is what did it take to get it registered in Texas, I recently got a micro truck and would like to register it to drive as well
I purchased mine from an importer in Washington (Boeki) and had them do the import paperwork for me. I got it with a Washington title and transferred it to Texas.
Im getting one and I subscribed. Have You ever camped overnight in it?
Sick! Thank you. Yes I got a full size memory foam topper and it fits in the back perfectly with the seats down. I also got some curtains to keep it dark.
Hi, awesome video guys! Did you imported the van from Japan? That was difficult and long?
Thank you! I purchased the van already imported to Washington from Boeki
@@adamleebmx Nice man! Enjoy !
I imported my Hijet mini truck. It's a pain. It's probably worth the $3000 to have someone import it and register it for you. The process is tedious and nearly impossible for a first timer to get right, even if you have an online import broker. There is also a long delay. It was three months after I bought mine before it showed up at the US port. I made the 21 hour round trip drive to get it. It had a blown clutch so I waited six weeks for parts from Japan. It was another couple of weeks before the mechanic installed the clutch so it was almost six months before I was driving my truck. It's awesome now, but getting it was a hassle and not for the impatient.
@@Liberty4Ever It's a shame all the time you waited... I thing nobody expect for the things can be wrong. But now you are happy with your mini truck! ;)
@@Liberty4Everwhat side did you order from? Also, how difficult is it insuring it?
Bummer about the windshield! How you getting a new one and how much are they?
A new oem windsheild is about $1000. There are aftermarket options available for less
I wish I could find one to buy
Check out Boeki in Washington and New Jersey, that’s who I got mine through and the customer service was amazing!
Hey man! I just got a Honda acty van, I need new tires- what tires do you have on yours?
Yokohama Ice Guard145/80/12
I just saw eBay shipping tires out of japan not super cheap but definitely decent tires.
How’s the Van been holding up so far? Considering one myself
I drive it every day! The a/c went out so I need to fix that but everything else is great
Nice video! What was your avg mpg on your road trip?
Honestly I have no idea what I was getting on the trip😅
@@adamleebmx Just curious because I've heard different numbers. I've read 25mpg to 45mpg. I'll give mines a test.
If that was his first fill up at 542 kilometers, and he left with a full tank, then got 7.452 gallons of gas, then that would be 45 mpg.
I get a little over 30 MPG driving my Hijet mini truck in town, and I don't baby it. It gets twice the mileage of my 4Runner, and it's a ton of fun to drive. It's also surprisingly practical for hauling stuff, whether that's groceries, Chinese takeout, plywood, drywall (no fender wells so the brittle drywall lies flat), or a huge pile of brush and limbs. 4WD is awesome on these little kei vehicles.
@@Morris1962 45mpg sounds awesome!
A question: what was the fuel economy over the trip?
It got about 24mpg, the clip of me filling it up was the second tank at 540 kilometers.
@@adamleebmx ouch, not great
How long did it actually take you to drive me seven-hour trip
The time stamp on the first clip is 10:13am, we arrived to the place at 8:49pm. 11ish hours, which isn't so bad
6.000 RpM bei 100 Km/h????
まさか Texasで軽vanが走ってるのを見れるとは
THANKS
I've always wanted one because you don't see them here!
Casey's bike seat is too low :)
Imagine 5,000 miles in a Cappuccino... 😉 th-cam.com/play/PLnn0gHsY_5Th9NtJBOlxb7OtDDSZEvEgT.html
wow very good 🚴
Thanks for watching!
cars are cute, but not for American roads extremely unsafe
totally agree, americans can't drive without a phone in their hand.
cool car, but its manual this is sad.
🤣What?! That’s the best part.
Pokémon music is very fitting
Thanks, I thought so too!
Are you allowed to drive these vans on roadways? I thought there we restrictions for them in most of the US
Mine's a 95 so yes it is allowed here.
If it is legally registered in 'said state' it can be driven in any state legally.
@@jf4872 Yes but alot of states don't allow them to be driven on roads that exceed 35-55mph, or they're only allowed to be driven on private land
Not out west (Ca. Or, Wa, Nv, Az)@@sadlycenozoic
