A tachometer AND an odometer trip meter? Well la ti dah! Aren't you special? 🙂 I don't drive my Hijet pickup on the highway. Today I bought the components to reupholster the seats.

I imported my Hijet mini truck. It's a pain. It's probably worth the $3000 to have someone import it and register it for you. The process is tedious and nearly impossible for a first timer to get right, even if you have an online import broker. There is also a long delay. It was three months after I bought mine before it showed up at the US port. I made the 21 hour round trip drive to get it. It had a blown clutch so I waited six weeks for parts from Japan. It was another couple of weeks before the mechanic installed the clutch so it was almost six months before I was driving my truck. It's awesome now, but getting it was a hassle and not for the impatient.

I get a little over 30 MPG driving my Hijet mini truck in town, and I don't baby it. It gets twice the mileage of my 4Runner, and it's a ton of fun to drive. It's also surprisingly practical for hauling stuff, whether that's groceries, Chinese takeout, plywood, drywall (no fender wells so the brittle drywall lies flat), or a huge pile of brush and limbs. 4WD is awesome on these little kei vehicles.
