Proof

My father had a 1980 Suzuki truck like this on the farm we had. It was a 2 stroke, self mixing 550cc engine 4x4. I believe he lifted it about 2 or 3 inches with 30 to 32 inch mud tires. That thing was amazing as a farm truck, there literally was nothing it couldn't do better than any Ford or Chevy truck on the farm and mud that would easily sink a Ford or Chevy was a non-issue for it. We had it from 1983 to 1998 when he sold the farm and the little truck with it. It still ran great. I loved the fold down sides on the bed. Not saying I'd run it as a daily driver on the road, but as for industry/farm work, I'd choose these over anything. Basically a UTV on steroids is how I'd describe one. Amazing piece of work someone did to this truck, a head turner for sure.

I used to import these Japanese kei trucks. They are unbelievably reliable and it is usually something catastrophic like a broken cambelt to stop them from running. Great machines offroad with a set of 25's and a lift kit. Some of the Suzuki and Daihatsu are supplied with factory rear diff lock. Full credit to the builder of this little machine.

Those little Mitsubishis are starting to become popular, but in the realm of “Lowered Street Style” with some power adders to bring up the HP to around 100-ish. This is a very lovable rig that could pretty much go anywhere any time of the year. Great work on the MacGuyvering and keeping her together.

Just found your channel. Have to say that is the best Kei truck ever.

I have a truck similar to this. The motor went out on my car so now my mini truck is my main mode of transportation. I use it for door dashing. I didn't anticipate all of the attention however. People constantly tell me how cool it is. They even take pictures of it. What I like about it the most is that it's not hard to work on.😊

Sure is one unique machine, pretty impressed with the craftsmanship. I can say one thing for sure, I think I learn something new every time I watch your videos which is much appreciated as I do some tinkering on stuff quite a bit myself. Glad this cool little truck got back out in the daylight, thanks to you.

It broke my heart and ruined my day when you said it wasn't yours. I assumed you had purchased it. I want to see more!!!

Yeah unfortunately just working on it for a friend, but I'm pretty much welcome to use it or do whatever with it. I'm just afraid of breaking it because as you see in the video it's pretty fragile. If you have ideas for future video on it let me know

The steering box is ready to yeet itself off of there, even with the fix. What a fun build. Every time I come across one of these truck videos I start looking around to buy one. It will happen one day.

Cool build, I would've done the drivetrain different but still cool. I bet that front gear chunk would rotate 180 in the axle housing to make it left drop and still run in the proper direction.

Awesome find, with great bones. And a lot of room for restoration and customization

That is sooooo cool! Tonka toy for men. Looks to me like this vehicle is meant for strictly off-road use! Back in '78, I purchased a full size Blazer, brand new. Once I put 37" Gumbo Mudders on it, highway driving was horrible. Those tires are not meant for the highway, what I see when I look at the whole vehicle is a total off-road vehicle. I'm 69 years old, and I don't remember seeing anything like this in the U.S.! They were probably offered only overseas. But, man, what a vehicle! Bet the off-road ability of this vehicle will be next to none! Thanks for the video. These are what I love too see. Be safe! Oh man, what a great video. Thanks!

That's a sweet little rig you have. I would just improve it as I go If I were lucky enough to own it.

The more blingy and chromed plastic looking a 4wd vehicle looks, the less I like it. This is indeed a smile machine, I would love to own!.

Instant sub, this is the kind of stuff ive been lookin for

Ok so for a 'mini" vehicle it's cool as heck! I would love to see somebody redo some of it. Not destroy it's look just beef it up a bit. Fix the suspension so it works good, a little extra power under your bootay a better winch on the tow thingy and a new set of wheels n tires.

Never wanted one of those mini trucks until this video, that's pretty slick!

Ever since I first saw the Honda Acty Pick Up Truck in London in the 1980's I've loved these tiny, forward control vehicles! Unfortunately, London traffic is NOT where you would want to be in these trucks because the crew cabin doubles as the crumple zone during collisions! Even quite low speed impacts present grave risks to the occupants, and after inspecting the remains of two which had been in frontal collisions I decided that they weren't for me. I look forward to seeing your adventures with your Tonka Truck. Subscribed. In the UK a boat building company called Island Plastics manufactured one piece fibreglass, demountable campers for these trucks, which you could place on the stands and drive away! They were hugely popular, and if you do a Google Images search for the Honda Acty Romahome you'll find them, one would look good on the back of your Tonka Truck!

That's the car I didn't knew I needed

I believe that was the frame to support the tow lift arm since that wasn't attached anywhere else on the rig. Probably made from an engine hoist.
