Dear Mike festiva. 👍👌👏 Another great video! I love the micro pickup truck video series. By the way: Congrats for not smoking, swearing, drinking in public respectively in your videos. 2) For dealing with the new carb and radiator, one definitely needs some knowledge and skills. Congrats for having both. I will check out your brothers channel now. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

Manual choke is so much better.. Nice move

Good video Mike! You have really got that running good now! You and your brother sure find some good places to run those trucks! Going to check out his channel!

My work just bought a Mitsubishi dump from Duncan imports. It’s replacing a John Deere gator. It’s the best thing to run around a college campus in to do grounds work.

Nice! Tubing bender! Carbs also imported again always in the Philippines great! I like your modification, i envy you 😊🙏🤙🇵🇭

Love your mentality when it comes to this build. Simple and functional.

Love these videos, your aluminium radiator is a work of art ! Manual choke for the win. Really good idea replacing the hoses and plastic T's 👍 You'll get another 5hp with an electric fan ! Your Tacho looks awesome 😆 These little trucks were super popular on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido. The snowfall there is some of the highest in the world. PS: The "just punch it !" technique can work really well for tiny trucks, they're harder to break because of the very light weight and lower stress on driveline components 😆

Thanks for checking out my new Kei truck video! I really like my little Suzuki 👍🙂 Great dependable truck, on the weekends when I’m not commuting I tend to only drive it, especially with the gas prices. Take care Edward 🙂

It's nice to see a REAL passion. 👍

Stick a 'led load resistor' on the blinkers or indicators lol (one per side) and it will stop that 'short fast' blinks (that flash rate wouldn't be legal here in Australia)... Looking good, I use to drive the little carry utes here when I was an apprentice, they were popular in the railway maintenance departments...

The smaller tires may function a little better for daily driving, but the bigger ones definitely looked cooler.

Like the ladder rack you made, makes the truck much more useful to have around.

Thanks for the inspiration! I nee to do all the same for mine! I pulled it in the garage yesterday to dig in to the head gasket.

My travels in Vietnam introduced me to the hard working Suzuki kei trucks and vans. Still plenty of them on the roads and trails today. Keep the direct drive fan. Less to go wrong on the trail.

Another awesome video. It was awesome seeing your kiddo on the drums.

That little truck is awesome. Nice mods. If you had a locking rear diff. oh man!

Little beastie seems to do quite well with the new carb.

Nearly all the trucks going to the US didn’t pass the Japanese inspection for many years (tenken).I think it’s something to be well aware of. The cracked hoses, and dodgy lines are a sign that this truck wasn’t road legal in Japan for many years, maybe more than 10+ and likely was used as a beater/farm truck only. It’s nice seing the truck get loved

Great video Mike can’t wait to see the next video already!

Great video, love the information to fun switch, so jealous of the “forgotten” bunkers…

Those things look like alot of fun

Love these japanese mini trucks.

My friend also has the pre production yeswelder and we love it!!!

Love your upgrading the Susuki kie truck. The upgrade adds what you want while keeping the cost within reason. Would love to see mini van Susuki kie style made into a safari style.

Great little truck. Those carbs remind me of the s.u. ones fitted to Austin Metro here in Britain in 1980's, which were auto choke. Never worked right so many were retro fitted with manual cable operated units.

Awesome upgrades - love making it more simple and more reliable. I have been messing with my carburetor for about a year and I still can’t get consistent performance! It is also a manual choke version that was added before I got the truck. I have worked on the air / fuel settings, but never tried different jetting - Going to take another look at it soon! Keep the great videos coming!

Thanks for checking out my new video Marcus 🙂👍 Definitely a good suggestion. I have a small set of traction boards but forgot them that day.

I've been looking at one of these mini trucks for a long time! I may be retiring to a rule area once again such as Central Oregon! So they've been something I've been highly interested in, if I may make a comment the one thing I would do, not only a locking rear diff! I would also think about the possibility of a 4-link or a triangulated 4 Link! The easy way to do it depending upon the loads you want to carry, is to remove one of the strongest lower leaves of the rear spring packs! The one with the most starch in it. Cuz I did notice the set of overloads we're not connected! Since it has the long rear shackles the little bit of lift as you mentioned in your previous videos oh, I think a softer rear pack would work very well! As far as a multi-link situation as I mentioned earlier there is such a variety of side-by-side shocks and small coilovers that could be easily adapted with your skills which are impressive mind you thank you for the series of these videos I am enjoying them immensely

Hey there Mr Festiva! You say that you want a locker in the rear end and that it had one from the factory which makes me want to ask what kind of locker was it? Are you going to put one up front as well? Thanks for the mini pinz man that’s how I discovered your channel I mean c’mon, who makes a mini pinz? Mike will, he’ll build anything! 🤣

Great video man, so much fun! Looking forward to more mini truck trips. That new carb was a huge improvement 👍

Mike, my dad built a tractor with a Toyota 1200cc engine. He had trouble with the carb, so he opted for a VW beetle carb, and it ran well for him. He said that he wanted it simple to operate, so he was satisfied with it.

Add a resistor to the indicators. You can probably get away with just two in the blinker wiring. It will eliminate the fast blinking.

+1 Function > Looks Good job on your videos! They are well put together. Nice to see you getting into these Suzuki. Here in Cali, they seem to pretty much gravitate to Catalina Island. Not sure how they are up north. Wish they were more available. Kinda nice getting 40 MPG and still having some offroading ability.
