This is silly, unless one doesn't value life much, as its really not very smart smart to use as a daily driver. Yeah, I get it is safer than a motorcycle...put most people don't ride their bikes everyday. And OMG, this sounds like a terrible idea buying used...I have 20 year old Dodge pickup that hasn't needed 5% of the parts you needed.

I agree wholeheartedly on the many cons of owning a Kei truck. You want good gas mileage? Get a Prius. - Gets 60MPG - Can drive on the highway without a struggle. (100 to 150HP) No need to put your foot to the floor. - Has a 5 star NHTSA rating. Yes, I've watched Kei truck crash tests... The cab IS the crumple zone. - All insurance companies cover it (for cheaper than most other street legal vehicles, unlike Kei trucks). - Comfortable and spacious (for its size, but it's still smaller than my Camry). Has a nice big trunk along with being able to fit 5 people. - Quiet and reliable (battery replacement is cheap and easy if need be). - Newer models have pre-collision and lane departure detection. Something I haven't heard about in Kei trucks. - The newer ones even comes in AWD. No need to manually shift into 4WD or whatever in the snow.

I think you may be able to get a title for a vehicle if it has a VIN and you can mechanic's lien it (if you have or can work with a licensed mechanic shop) or you can say it was abandoned on your (or a friend's) property and you do a storage lien sale.

I stay away from greasing my bearings. I use a dry graphite lubricant. Grease just eventually gunks up and captures more dirt. If you noticed before you put the grease in, the bearing was moving more freely, that's what dry graphite offers, but less mess.

Those are made for Japan's cities, not for American fwys. They drive 50 km/h = 31mph. You double it's speed and no wander it shits itself 😂

regarding states refusing to tag and also pulling tags back on these: what about those tiny cars, supposed to be super economical and eco friendly, micro smart cars. Those are allowed on the interstate... those tiny / slow / dangerous / "sneeze on them they flip" / How is it they are legal, and especially that they are allowed on the interstate? and yet the powers that be have a problem with these trucks? Again, if the Mini - import community gets motivated and organized, a good amount of pressure can be applied to the situation.

@wrenchfriday9 ай бұрын
Oil, coolant, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, check your points and distributor cap, might as well do spark plugs, and then you need to assess your timing belt situation. I’d also check your tires, mine were 10+ years old

Gr8 vid‼️👍‼️ If U route Shimano hydraulic hoses, don’t U have to cut hose tip & then risk oil leak? T U‼️🙏‼️
@wrenchfriday9 ай бұрын
Yes, unless the hoses are brand new and sealed you will loose a little oil. As long as you’re running the hoses from the bottom up (brake up through the frame) you won’t loose all your oil, just a little bit

Thanks brother! How would rate the ease of maintenance on your Subaru? Do you need micro hands with the dexterity of a concert pianist as required by my wife's Kia?
@wrenchfriday9 ай бұрын
Maintenance is very straight forward and enjoyable. I have run into situations where micro hands were needed (getting behind the cluster to re-attach the speedometer cable), but a lot of the major repairs are easy to access.

Been a professional mechanic and now shop owner for over 35 years ,always loved all things aero and slick (so it’s not a resistance to change thing)but I think frame and components designers should be given a workshop and told “ok….now you build the fuckin thing” …why should changing a headset bearing involve a full bike strip and brake hose replacement…just sayin.

Just an FYI. I normally don't say anything about spelling or punctuation. You said the same word twice and you seem like you're fairly intelligent so I'm going to point this out. Twice you said mute. Mute means not to make any sound. The word that you're looking for is moot, which means that it doesn't really matter. I'm currently researching KEI trucks to replace my full size, Chevy Silverado with a 5.3 engine. I don't really need this truck. In the city it gets around 15 mpg, so a vehicle that gets around 25 mpg is a significant improvement in fuel mileage. I'd even consider an Australian UTE. Have a great day and enjoy your KEI truck.
