Kei truck windows screeching? Could be this easy to fix it...and only $30
Переглядів 458Рік тому
If you've got a kei truck or van, it's at least 25 years old, and old cars need some love. The window felts tend to dry out and in my case, fall out, so a quick rubber window track replacement may be in order. It stopped the hair raising screech and they roll up and down much smoother now. This was done on a 1993 Daihatsu Hijet Deck Van S83W, other trucks will vary, measure your window track fi...
Upgrading Subaru Sambar Brake Booster & Master w/ Geo Tracker parts
Переглядів 383Рік тому
The brakes were failing in my Sambar van which presented the opportunity to stuff larger, domestically sourced parts in it. A Geo Tracker brake booster was one of the smallest I could think of. With some grinding and welding I got it to fit. It wasn't easy but now the pedal feel is good, stops on a dime and costs less than JDM replacement parts. I used the booster and master cylinder from a 199...

A subscriber asked if I could build him a sub box like mine, so I did, and this time I took measurements so you could build one too. Some cutting of dash and air box required... Box is to spec for a 6.5" dvc Sundown Audio subwoofer. Tuned to 40hz with an internal air volume of about 0.35 cubic feet. Music Credits: On the Forbes - D.

Installing Air Ride on the Kei Van, because why not?

So I had an air ride system from Airlift Performance laying around and nothing to put it into it, until I glanced over at the Subaru Sambar Classic and thought hey, that wheel gap is way too big. Heh. Also, I've never seen a kei truck or van on air, and I like obscure car stuff. Maybe in the future I'll get it lower than stock bump stop height. Music Credits: Bipolar - D.

    By the way I had a pro install mine and he did use the extension kit for my 8’ door. However, being an engineer I noticed on the 7’ door the whole track is not being used. How far would the 8’ door open without doing anything? Is it possible that it would open a 7’6” door fully without doing anything? When you increase the header, do you need to do anything to the track, etc.? Is there a reason you need to open the door fully? When I had my tract home built 20 years ago, this was a reasonable option (3 car garage, both doors were about $300 extra), so I opted for this. The only time this is used is when you have a larger/higher truck, or when you put on a car top carrier for storage for a vacation. You can open this carrier in the garage, fill it and close it and then can safely ride out in the morning. This works with the carrier we have. This was on a 2012 Honda Odyssey. PS: I actually bought the same door opener for a rental condo I own and noticed the extra track length. I ran into a different problem, the door opener was too long, I ran into a You Tube video showing how to decrease the length. I did a different workaround, I had an “I” beam in the way. The “I” beam was covered by a drywall box, which I cut into and recessed the opener into the box and that worked. The opener was 2” too long, but when done there was still 3” to the beam.

    • @GreeceMonkeyz
      @GreeceMonkeyz 5 місяців тому

      That's the funny thing, the tracks are long enough for an 8' door but the factory stops on the opener bars are the limiting factor. So no, I didn't have to do anything to the tracks. And yea the only reason I tried to maximize the opening height is because I had a ladder rack on top of my truck at the time. As far as how high it would open without modification, you would have to install it to a point where you can test or measure where the lift arm rests closed up to the stopper at the full open position. Theoretically it would open the distance between the physical stops if you can install it in a way to take advantage of the full travel. Too many variables to say with certainty.

      Hijets have a funky bolt pattern of 4x110, here in the states you will mostly find ATV/UTV wheels with that pattern. My wheels are 4x108 and I'm using misalignment lug nuts which allow for 1mm play in either direction giving me 110mm. Definitely not ideal, but with the right hub centric ring I don't have any problems with vibration even on the highway. Might be easier to get adapters made and just use wheels with more positive offset.
