This is part 2 of buying a 1990 JDM Suzuki Carry 4WD Kei mini truck.
In this video I will cover installing a timing belt, water pump and some seals, I will also be modifying the exhaust system. In part 1 I cover buying the truck, fixing some carb problems, vacuum leaks and starting on some cooling repairs.
The next video I will be posting is Kei truck shopping with my brother, we will be looking at a few trucks and possibly a van so keep an eye out for that video!
Thanks for watching

Mike, I had an old Subaru Justy, and it had a 1.3l engine producing 50 HP, and it was a cast iron block 3 cylinder engine. I used tractor mufflers on it as the OEM was $80. It actually was quieter than the factory muffler. I miss that little car. I think I paid $24 for my mufflers. My car had 12" tires, and I wound up using commercial tires as replacement 12" car tires became rarer over time.

In Japan, there is a vehicle inspection system, so there is a limit to remodeling in the backyard. You have a good understanding of the structure of the car and enjoy finishing the light truck well. Watching videos is fun. Light tigers are vulnerable to deformation due to collisions, so please be careful and enjoy.

Not sure if you can compare a modern side by side's suspension to a 30 year old suzuki carry which was projected for city use and tiny tires. You could revise what you have on there, some lift kits are better than others although the 'hop' 'skip' i get in my one is down to the solid rear axle i believe - but i'm no expert. I do prefer it to a side by side any day!! I bought mine in Chile, a van version. Built it out with a couch/bed and hit the road. Crossed the atacama desert, up and over the Los Andes several times. Over 15,000 miles traveled around South America. Love it. Met my wife with it too! Its even got a name.. Bandito!

Love my '98 Daihatsu Hijet, it is fuel inj., 4x4, 5 spd., low and high range, diff-lock, w/air, and it had 27,000 kil. when purchased. It has absolutely no rust and it already had big rims and tires, I've put the timing belt, clutch, and a distributer (the weights came apart inside) . I have a little over 50,000 on it now, and I paid $5600 from an individual in KY. 7 years ago, hope you have as good luck as I have had.

When I was young, I repaired many Japanese car engines such as this F6A, but I was surprised to see the video. As far as I can see the handling of the contributor Festiva, it is on par with a professional. You're not an ordinary person. The carburetor repair was professional as well. It's a rupture of the upper tank of the radiator, but maybe the thermostat is not normal. It may be good to remove it without using the thermostat.

Sounds like you most likely picked the right radiator, but something to keep in mind is I have one in mine out of the van version the previous owner installed that is probably 50% larger than the original, I have trouble getting heat in the winter and I even remove the fan during the cold months. Also the rack is a must! I've found that these truck are incredibly handy for light bulky loads from the hardware store, even better for it than my Ranger! With the exception of getting stuck talking to people about the truck on the way in and out 😆

Great work, great little truck in the right hands. As someone who def does NOT have the right hands (nor mind) for this work, I am amazed it was considered good engineering to bury high maintenance items like a water pump so deep? Why would the do that? Maybe a stupid q... but I am sure they were talented engineers and designers who created this thing.... how did they not think about ease of maintenance and repair? You are a special sort of mechanic to enjoy doing this, patient.

I bought the water pump etc., some front end parts and a repair manual. I think I should get a timimg belt and related parts for that. Love the truck and will probably keep it completely stock except for maybe a winch and radio. Thanks.

It may not ride as good as a side by side but it has things a side by side doesn't have, heat and AC, your enclosed in a cab, you're going to stay dry. You may not jump it but it's still a very capable 4X4 that hauls stuff

I was told by SWMBO, that I had to get something to plow the driveway. She was afraid I’d have a heart attack and die shoveling it out for two or three hours. So, I started looking t side by sides, to mount a plow on. there is an older gal in town who has a blue Honda Acty. I walked by it one afternoon, and had the moment of clarity: Tiny Trucks have real doors, and windows, with a real heater and defroster and windshield wipers. Mos the guys I see plowing sno on side by sides or ATVs have on two pairs of Carhartts and still look miserably cold. I bought my Hijet, with a scissor dump bed, and then got three sets of new tires and wheels, a lift kit, welded up custom ugly bumpers and a Black Line electro-hydraulic plow, for about $14k It is sweet to plow in. Teh neighbor is on a little John Deere tractor looking cold, and I’m in my shirt sleeves.

Might as well just use a Samurai. Probably easier to find. For a bug out rig, though, I'd want a diesel.
