I bought a TINY 1997 Honda Acty Kei Van... (Japanese microvan)
Ойын-сауық
I bought this miniature 1997 Honda Acty Kei Van from Japan Direct Motors in Irmo, SC... and my plan is to find creative ways to monetize the vehicle while doing my day-to-day side hustles. If you have ideas... please share them!

Don’t forget to hit the 👍 and also… I would appreciate any/all tips about owning a Kei van!👇
It's so interesting to see you talk about the kei van, as I currently live in japan and drive them all the time! So much fun! Thanks for the video and I will definitely think about the accounting side!!

That’s cool!! I learned about a “25-year rule” where vehicles can’t be imported to the US until they are 25+ yrs old. I’m having fun with it. Thanks for watching!
Kei is the way!!!! Nice pickup

Wyatt, that thing is sick, man. I want one now. I'm an 80's kid and all I can think about is an A-Team paint job. I need that Rewilded Reselling money first though. Congrats, brother.

LOL I’m glad you like it! Driving them takes a little time to get the hang of, but it’s definitely a joy ride every time I use it.🚙
Love my kei van. Just so you know they live best in the high rpm’s. That’s how you get any power out. Also the ac will about half your already tiny amount of power. 😂😂😂 but they are so fun! Can you believe I am 6 foot tall and 350 pounds and daily drive mine for the last year. Poor little van 😅

2:45 - I love the look of that gray Hijet mini truck. That's what I hope my Hijet will look like after I give it a Medium Quartz Gray Monstaliner polyurethane bed liner paint job inside and out, hopefully this fall. The gray Hijet shown in the video was apparently painted gray using automotive paint and not bed liner, and it was only painted on the outside with the inside still white. I love my Hijet 4WD mini truck, and even though I still have probably 70% of the upgrades to do on my mini truck, I'm getting an obsessive desire for a 4WD Hijet kei van. I can't even come close to justifying it, but I want it. Badly.
I was literally at this exact dealer 1 week ago and I’m currently saving up for my own kei van I’m excited 😆

Dude, love this vid! Been meaning to go by JDM as they have sick cars! Been eyeing the K dump trucks lately. Your van is dope! FYI, its common for insurance polices to deny coverage if you are renting out your vehicle....if you are serious about doing that, get a policy that allows it.

@@rewildedreselling - My 4WD Hijet is geared so low, so it can start on a hill with a heavy load without stalling, so when it's empty on flat or downhill slopes I can start in 2nd gear. I'll sometimes roll a stop in a parking lot and never quite come to a complete stop so I don't need first gear. My Hijet has the HI/LO transfer case. In low range, idling in first gear is so slow it's nearly unstallable and I can walk faster than the truck is rolling. Wound out, it's maybe going 5 MPH. Even in the high range that I use for driving on road, I'm shifting into third gear before I've cleared an intersection at a traffic light. My Hijet is a 5 speed so it'll go 70 MPH, although I usually drive it on larger secondary roads at around 60 MPH.
