Your truck looks a hundred percent better than the one musty 1 pickup I'm glad to see that it's in one piece

Haha yes the space is very nice to have, especially for daily driving. The acty has a better engine I would say.

what would you use to change the front brakes to disk brakes? I also have a S82P, mines 1990. the S83P's have different shocks, not sure about all the other parts, like control arms or tie rods

That's a cool truck! So are they longer than a normal Kei truck or is the bed smaller?

@happydaily7324

Same dimensional limit so the bed is 5ft 6 inches long! And with the tailgate down, about 6ft 6 inches.

Daihatsu was bought by Toyota in “98 but yr mini truck is earlier then that and is a Daihatsu not a Toyota.

These trucks are all over where I live in the Philippines. They converted them to left hand drive…

Bought the ACTY Jr Dump. Too tight for me at 6’3”. Put a deposit on the Hijet 3 way dump. Can you add A/C if it did not come with it?

Possibly, but it would cost well over a thousand bucks. All the parts would more than likely be used components from japan ausction.

The jumbos are a little more comfortable and get used a LOT more, usually they are beat to hell by the time they get traded in.

How does your ac feel? im looking at a really clean mint 89 and conflicted by a 97. The 97 doesnt have side back windows and the back window doesnt slide open

In my opinion I would go with the 1997 model as you're gonna have a lot of mechanical improvements over the late eighties model such as a slightly larger displacement engine and newer AC system

Also how’s the Cappucino

Most in Texas can be titles and registered if 25 years or older and you have the proper importation paperwork. Some of the popular honda models have had titles revoked as of recent.

Because your side by side ain't gonna be weather proof inside with air conditioning and a sub system with Toyota reliability 😊 oh and it's fucking adorable ✌️🙈🙉 ok maybe slightly ugly but the flat bed capability does give a nice use for a wood cutting surface or using the headache rack for extra long wood. And it's at a fraction of the cost of a good side by side. Also they do sell dump models. Oh and street legal 🤠

You can buy versions of these little Kei trucks with dump beds, or even a scissor lift raising bed. The point of these trucks is Japanese roads are tiny, and parking space is at a premium, having a compact truck which can also skip up narrow Japanese country roads in the mountains is really useful. Also the bed may be small but it's designed to hold 54 standard crates, or 40 plastic liquid containers, so it's plenty useful for farmers and fishmongers. Bear in mind these trucks were designed as a replacement for three wheeled cargo motorbikes, not as an American size pickup truck shrunk down.

did you ever supercharge it?

No sir but I hear it's possible

More specifically, Daihatsu is not "Toyota" they have always been their own company up until like the late 80"s and still "kinda" remain so to this day but yeah, they ran damn near parallel to toyota and even infringed upon their designs in a lot of cases. When they got "absorbed" by toyota with a 76% share, they got to use all the surplus parts thus you see the same fabric on a 92's seats as an 86 toyota pickup. Daihatsu cars are also notable for their more durable construction and uniformity of parts. Can't go wrong with toyota right? Might as well join them. Today they are becoming more "Independent" but the two brands have always shared a reputation and common theme. They were always the "Toyota" of kei cars and now it's literal. Ironically Toyota now makes it's own light truck called the Pixis.

A lot of these Kei trucks are used on rural farms or for transporting things short distance, often they'll get treated like workhorses but won't travel long distances. They're superb on narrow rough roads but not quite as fun on highways.

please watch nasty language.
