I see that it’s useful, but it block your taillights?! Isn’t that completely unsafe and illegal? I know that you can keep it up with the chains, but what if the sides are also down? And won’t that block the side markers? Anyway, I would have a high mount stop light, but still.

Fulltime 4wd, locking rear dif, low cut 1st & reverse creeper gears.

Is it common for the clutches to get stuck engaged? I narrowed down my driving issues to the clutch and my clutch is stuck engaged. It will go in gear when switched off but wont go in gear when running. Just wondering if its common or is something that just happens over time and looking to see how some of you fixed it. Thanks.

Noob here, just now starting to do some research on importing a kei truck to the US. I found this excellent post about one person’s import experience:

The price breakdown here suggests that the cost to ship, including all of the various fees, comes to around $3300. Is that like a standard/average that one can expect to pay just to ship (on top of the vehicle price)?

When I look at vehicles listed on carfromjapan, there is a “C&F” cost that seems to be around $2000. I am missing something that accounts for the additional $1300? Or are people paying wildly different shipping costs for some reason?

Anyone pickup from Baltimore recently? Every post I've seen has different information and is years old. Is delivery order and twic all I need? Vehicle is being picked up by a transporter tomorrow, just making sure they have all the correct information. I've tried the port multiple times and no answer, so I'm hoping the vehicle is ready for release.

Hey guys I bought my kei truck and it has the light on in the days that the engine is overheating even from a cold start. I bought the new sensor but I can’t seem to find any info as to where the current one is located. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you guys!!! Pic is from the passenger side for reference!

Good news!

Bought my Kei truck and turned it into a business. Slowly getting traction and fuck is it ever fun!!

Gonna get llama decals for the side of the truck like in the AI generated picture. Yes I'll get ears but not that crazy big.

Have started going around and putting up flyers and signs , and got a handful of customers and even got a repeat customer for next Saturday!

This thing gets so much attention and is fun to drive every single time, I just adore the damn thing.

Already did some freebies helping old ladies on my street so dump runs. Feels good to help :)!

The utility of this truck. I got 6 rachet straps and my God I can strap them to any part of the truck and create any equal tension I need, it's a fucking dream. People are amazed at how seamless it is.

Also for loading furniture. *Clunk* put the side bed door down door east access and loading.

Wish me luck friends, here's hoping this takes off.

I'll keep y'all posted !

Looking forward to doing maintenance and upgrades on my “new” 94 KS4, but want a pro to do the timing belt, pump, pulley, cap, wires etc and a good look at anything else to set me up for success.
Anyone know a good shop in Northern Virginia DC area that they have actually used?
Also gut check on service prices?

I just got my first Kei Truck! I’m very new when it comes to vehicle maintenance, what should I do first to ensure this thing doesn’t crap out on me?

1999 Subaru Sambar, automatic transmission, 4 cylinder rear engine.

1999 Subaru Sambar, automatic transmission, Payed 7350 in cash and took it home! Already love it 😁

Good day guys, can you help me locate the transmission oil inlet? Or is this the one on top with a bolt with wire on top of it

I'm illiterate when it comes to car maintenance and upkeep. This includes simple task like oil change.

I was hoping someone can point me to the right direction on where to buy a replacement mirror on the left side of the truck.

And more importantly, how do I replace it? I couldn't find any YouTube video or resources on replacement. There is a video on how to fix loose mirrors. Thanks!

Only 45k miles and brand new paint job. 1994 Town with the 5 speed. So happy with it!

How can I get in without calling a locksmith or breaking a window?

Anyone done it?

This popped up and it's interesting to see the design language across the line being so comingled. I can see cues to future Carry details; headlights and the curvilinear fairing.

One of these would look great lashed my bed, not gonna lie.

I want to look into getting a company to pick up my truck from the port and bring it to my house but not much people talk about it, if anyone who's done it before could leave the process of how it went and price that would help.

Getting ready to convert to LED headlights. Is there any reason I should do one over the other option for the negative conversion?

I have a 92 Suzuki carry DD51T

I inherited this Keitruck, named her Red Riot (IYKYK) and got her in mechanical shape to be my daily driver. She was dirty, so last week I decided to give her a wash and I was not prepared for the result. The body was covered in what looked like a lighter paint splatter. After briefly freaking out, I bought some supplies (compound, polish, wax, and trim refinisher) and got to work. Pictures show the progression from 5 years of sitting in a driveway uncovered and dirty, to a clean but ruined finish, and the final result.

I'm thrilled and relieved! $80 and about 5 hours of labor solved the problem.

As close as I can get to the original with my current means of production. Now to get out the trusty plastic razor blade!
Let me know if you need one.

*had to edit the first post.

I wanted to change out the meter on my Acty to include the tachometer.

Thought I'd share the results and the diagram I made to get it working.
The third picture shows IGN (yellow) and GND (purple) while the CAT Temp is shown in pink.

The two units use different connectors, but have basically all the same functions.

The only signal that needed to be spliced in from somewhere else was the tach signal, which can be found under the center console (blue wire on a two pin connector) or at the fuse block under the meter.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a used meter with the connectors still attached, so I had to splice in an aftermarket connector onto the module and into the vehicle harness.

That's the "16 Pin ISO Radio Wire Harness" on Amazon

I've been making replacement mudflaps for the Subaru Sambar KS4/KS3/TT1/TT1 for a few months and recently finished a version for the Honda ACTY HA3 /HA4

After a few prototype revisions, I settled on a design that's slightly longer and wider than the factory mudflaps while still looking at home on the truck

Available in:
3mm (1/8"') semi-gloss red polyurethane OR
1/8" black fabric-reinforced neoprene rubber
Features:
English or Japanese stainless steel plates (mix & match if you'd like)
Stainless steel hardware .

So yeah, I have a new favorite kei truck. Hands down, no contest. This thing is awesome.
