@@Liberty4Ever Agreed!!! I’m still a sucker for my kei trucks, so I HAVE to start modifying soon

@@Liberty4Ever thirty- 40 mpg btw

@@jaxsawjeff - I get 31 MPG in my little Hijet... although that's gasoline with 10% ethanol. I use the Hijet as a half ton pickup despite the 350 kg (770 pound) Daihatsu conservative load rating. I've seen others use a Hijet as a one ton pickup for crawling around the yard with a load of rocks and dirt. The HiAce can haul a ton no sweat and is probably a 2 ton pickup if you aren't going to hit potholes at 60 MPH.

@@jaxsawjeff - My Hijet needs a water pump so I might as well install a new timing belt at the same time. I have a lot of upgrade parts that are purchased that still need to be installed - Yokohama GeoLander tires, double DIN Android stereo, seat cushions and upholstery, LED auxiliary lighting, etc. I did manage to Monstaliner truck bed paint the exterior last fall. It's a nice medium gray. I need to roll the other gallon in the wheel wells (when installing the new tires) and interior (when reupholstering seats and installing electronics).

@@Liberty4Ever do you have a chance to use ethanol free… It has increased the lifespan of my engines considerably due to the refined corn not breaking down stuff

So glad!

Haven’t had the need to replace anything… I did get some brake lines replaced, but they were easy enough with off the shelf brake lines… A lot of things on these you can fix and not have to use original parts… But if you’re a purist and want to there are several high ace suppliers in the states

@@dreuxscorner trouble is I still love those stupid little K trucks… The garage is full. Ugh

@@lucamancini2173 well I wish I could give you a name but the company I got it from is no longer selling stuff on Amazon… It was an Amazon purchase… I would’ve not steered you towards it though because it rusted from the inside out and here in Florida that’s not a good thing

Thank you for letting me know, would not have been good as a fellow Floridian then

Sadly, it was an offbrand from Amazon, but it didn’t treat me right as the inside of the pipes were not painted or at least prevented from rusting so I got a good deal of rust on the car from it…

I think the 25 year part of it was negotiated by you guessed it lawyers of the affected automobile makers in Europe… I guess you could say it just made it so at the time the cars that you were importing 25 years prior were not as up-to-date as what the people would have normally wanted… Just what I surmised from some information, cheers

Usually the highway or interstate is a no go- only on secondary roads up to 50mph- but I do skip on the highway for a bit when I need to go certain places- there are worse offenses -right?

@@jaxsawjeff you also in FL?

Yessir

I do pick mine up at a major port, much easier… I don’t know transport costs, or I would let you know- thanks for watching

Yes, it is up to county/ region

I think it’s because the big boys get threatened when you start getting what you want and something they don’t have

Totally get it… you missed the creature comforts though

Luke- honestly thank you very much for saying that I appreciate it. Life has had some funny turns lately… All good ones but has taken my attention off my JDM stuff but I will grind it out my friend More on the way.

​@@jaxsawjeff only focus on what u can friend all love and i wish u all the best ❤

If he’s importing to make a buck, I get it… And it all depends on how landlocked the state is… And whether it has to be tucked in, or you can just pick it up at the dock… Also conditions very widely in my experience, but capitalism wins😃

Your compliments are much appreciated
