exactly the kind of review I was looking for. your longer trip videos are also on point thanks for your content
Appreciate it
The fact that I see you go those speeds and nothing happens to the engine gives me a piece of mind when I drive mine lol. I've never even hit 100km for a stretch cause I get nervous im gonna blow it up 😆
YOLO! I drove my kei trucks like crazy everyday can’t wait to get another one
U aint gonna blow it up trust me, i treat mine like crap
Great demo drive! Love the speed chart in MPH & KPH , Genius idea!
Thank you thank you 🙏
I love your singleminded nerdy love of all things Kei! It’s inspiring man and thanks for being a top source of information for perspective owners.Because of your videos I’m going all in and buying a Hijet.
Congrats on the pickup! KEI IS THE WAY
Thanks for this video! I now feel comfortable buying my future kei van and going on smaller road trips with it!
Kei vans are the best I miss mine everyday, thinking of doing a roadtrip in my Suzuki Jimny soon
Love the video man. From Kaneohe and just got a S100v, so much fun.
having a kei truck on the island id soooo much fun cant wait to be back
Thank you for the informative pov drive
Helping the kei community one video at a time 🙏
Looking good bro. Videos are great! Keep it up.
Appreciate it bro, going to messaging you soon I’m planning a roadtrip to ATL September 24th weekend and I want you to meet me there for a drag race lol
@@Waybeforethefame yesss. Hit me up. I should be in town that weekend.
カッコいい車ですね！kmhとmphの変換は課題ですが、慣れれば問題ないでしょう。私たちの住む日本でも、老朽化により見る機会が減ってきた型式の車です。
I love my 1997 Mitsubishi Mini cab
Thank you for posting another great video, I'm very interested in buying a Kei Truck, not sure what brand to get. I do like the Sambar because the motor is in the rear, less heat in the cab, same for the Honda. I live 20 minutes away from Patterson, so I plan to visit Boeki, see what they have.
Checkout HVNY imports in GOSHEN ny
🤠
Hey! Love the channel. You cut the video at about 7 minutes. I go up that hill for work everyday. How was it driving up a steep incline?
You have to downshift but it isn’t too bad
Hey Fame! Love your videos and passion. I’m seriously looking at a 1996 daihatsu 110. Are parts and aftermarket items easy to find for these models? I see so much for the Actys and Sanbars. Also, any suggestions of any particular flaws with this model. Thank you and Keep up the great work!
Where you located I can help get you a kei truck on my patreon
@@Waybeforethefame I’m in pa and have a couple I’m looking at. One in riverside ct. is that close to you? Be cool if you might have a look at it.
@@jackleonard2088 I know of a 1999 Daihatsu hijet new generation body and interior. It’s being solid by 8404 imports if I’m buying a kei truck in 2024 I want a newer model
If you had a little taller tire you can cruise at a lower rpm. I'm looking at getting a 94 hijet van 5spd 4wd and throwing 14s on it so it's not cruising at high rpms.
yeah 13/14s make a big difference, but they also kill the top speed
Great S100 POV! Hijet cruising in Hawaii. Can it get any better than that? This is not making the wait for my Hijet to arrive from Japan any easier. :-)
S100 is a great choice!
@@Waybeforethefame - 4WD, 5 speed, HI/LOW transfer case, only 43,000 miles and looks to be in great shape to be 26 years old. I wanted a locking differential and A/C, but I'm kinda glad I didn't get A/C because the radiator hangs down a bit for off road use and an old radiator is difficult to maintain and may not have much life left. Kei trucks keep it simple.
I paid for the Hijet over five weeks ago and it's still sitting in Yokohama. Once it ships, it'll be another month on the ocean, then I'll have bureaucratic hassles and government bribes (fees) to get it out of the port and more hassles getting my local DMV to register a 26 year old Japanese right hand drive vehicle so I can pay more taxes and drive it on the road. I can definitely see why the $370 Hijet that I paid $2000 to ship costs $10K and up in the US. I saw a kei truck sell for $24,000 on Bring A Trailer a couple of weeks ago. That's just nuts. It was nice, but nowhere near $24K nice.
My Hijet will probably arrive in December, when it's too late to work on it, so it'll probably be a spring project instead of a fall project as I intended.
Hey fame love your vids i need to by some perts for my 1995 hijet van where can i buy them??
Buyee, if you need help message me on patreon
Just got 98 5sp Minicab on Big Island.
A friend said his has troubles with thin atmosphere going over the mountain highway - some kinda vapor lock or carb issue. Havent heard reports of kei ascents to the summit...
kei cars uphill are pretty bad just in general with or without the altitude
@@Waybeforethefame especially with a yard of wet dirt in the dump - I learned recently 😂
Question: When driving a kei truck or van, have u tried starting from gear 2 instead of 1? Weird that my de51v van starts at gear 2 or sometimes i go from 1 to 3rd gear lol
Yeah sometimes I do the same same 1 to 3rd or start in second but I don’t wanna kill my clutch lol but yeah first gear is a joke
Hi. Love your videos.
Australia here. Can you cruise somewhat comfortably at 90kph in 5th?
I only reach 100kph if someone is behind me. Cheers
Hey yeah you can cruise comfortably at 90klm much better at 80 tho. but it depends from kei truck to kei truck this S110/100 can do it easily
Let me know when you're back on the Island, I got a Smbar suoercharged for you to drive.
Will do I the love the supers. One of my dream trucks
How do you tell what ‘S’ model it is? Like is there certain years that are S100? What ‘S’ would a 1993 Daihatsu Hijet 4x4 be?
S is part of the chassis code. S100=RWD/S100=4WD
if you like the S100/110 you LOVE the S200/210 when they become legal in the US
Can’t wait to get the newer fuel injected kei trucks
@@Waybeforethefame They have a little more power too, they're all around the 50hp mark. The 2002+ Suzuki Carry's are all twin cam aswell.
Broooo you got a Blue Ballmobile!
Were both about to have s100 hijets at this point lol CRAZY MODS COMING SOON 🤣
@@Waybeforethefame bro...i got the headlights kit, lets do an install day LOL. I gotta figure out how to get all the wiring to the battery etc.
Would u take a hijet or a carry if they were the same price, and why?
I’ll take the hijet if it’s twin cam much faster truck and fuel injected
How much fuel do the 5 speed ones use?
Better than 4 speed but still pretty bad if you do a lot of highway driving
My 5spd Mitsubishi minicab gets about 27mpg combined city/highway
What's the solution to my steering wheel vibrating at 85kmh? 92 Honda acty street van
i would say check your tie rods & your tire set up. could be a couple things
Jack the vehicle so the tire is off the ground. Grab tire at left and right and shake. Grab wheel at top and bottom and shake. Rotate the tire and repeat. If you feel wobble left and right but not up and down, it's probably a tie rod. If you feel wobble up and down but not left and right, it's probably ball joints. If you feel wobble in all directions, it's probably wheel bearings. If there is no wobble, have a tire shop dynamically balance the wheels. Some home gamer in a pole barn may have installed new tires and not balanced them, or a wheel weight may have popped off. Vibration at speed is often a wheel balance problem. Other possibilities are out-of-round tires (should be detected during dynamic balancing) or loose or broken suspension components... including the rear suspension. If you have a slightly out-of-round tire or a tire with a minor defect, it's better to have that tire in the rear. A marginal rear tire will have less adverse impact on ride quality. Also, if a rear tire failed catastrophically, it's not nearly as dangerous as a front tire blowout.
@@Liberty4Ever thank you
Show us a jumbo if available.
Yeah they have a jumbo for sale. It’ll be in my next video
So whats the best kei truck to buy
It’s more of a preference and what you’re going to be using it for. I think options are more important than brand in my opinion. Like if you need 4wd/5speed/Difflock ect
If I wasn’t hauling a mini kitchen I could probably hit 110kph. 😅
I stopped at "wadduuuup"
Yea, 2wd wouldn’t make it out of my driveway, when ever I see so one buy one, my first question is does it snow where they live… ;-)
Yeah depending on location and all that 2wd isn’t for everyone but on dry places like the west coast and south it’s pretty cool
@@Waybeforethefame Yea, with my super carry it spins out when I pull out of the driveway if I have it nosed in. (Pointed down.)
I was about to sayyy how you getting that home??
When you get back to japan i might be needed my own HiJet from AllthingzJDM with a Z!
Thanks for all of your videos. I love just chilling and watching your videos. Did I hear you correctly that the truck gets 70 mpg?
@@Waybeforethefame I gotttt you. On one condition, that you drive that Jimny off a cliff with a brick on the gas pedal like how they do in the movies
@@waynehamill887 no I was making fun of people who sell these kei trucks and like to promote crazy MPG lol at best maybe gets around 20 if you avoid the highway
Get a twin cam if you do! @waybeforethefame
軽自動車の衝突安全性はかなり低い事を心に留めて置いて欲しいです。
軽トラは高速道路を走る想定はほぼしていないんじゃない？農道をトコトコ走り、公道は60km/h前後が日本での実像かな。
いい保険を掛けて下さいね、エンジョイ!
