Can’t lie the grant + jimmy vibes are so sick . It’s definitely what put me into you both more than before . Would love to see more collabs in the future( besides more ebisu which I also can’t wait for)
Bro Jimmy, you are such a homie dude. Only you would drop one of your homie's cars off to them and help one of your other homies install a transmission in a whole different continent on the same day. One hell of a dude you are man, your friends are fortunate!
Honestly I think living in Japan I'd be buying and building like crazy man. I get why a lot of men there (old gen) are just so chilled and okay with what they do🙌🏾❤
Japan has always been the forerunner in automotive trends/styles. Obviously in drifting but in a lot other branches as well. The old-school fat tire Harley that was in your video yesterday was build in what has become know as a brat-style build. A shop from Japan named as such started building them like that (old-school/fat tires/minimalistic/open exhaust). Complemented by the coolest dressed riders (bubble visor helmets, tiny Japanese girls kickstarting them etc) riding them. It kickstarted off a huge retro explosion of that style and similar shops across the world that's popular to this day. Their freedom of expression, their humbleness and their engineering perfectionism; it all makes Japan special. And funniest of all; they are probably not even trying. It's just who they are.
This series of videos has been so sick, loved the cross channel vids with Grant. Feels like trips with the boys to the Nürburgring kinda vibe but with a total different culture. Tokyo 2024 is now on the bucket list. Cheers for taking us along Jimmy & G✌🏻
Those 'tacoma's' at the start of the video are actually probably a 90's model hilux, super popular here in Australia. Although i've never seen a dually version, they must be custom built lol. Another awesome video, loving the content
Yokohama is the place. Okachan is the S chassis God 🙏 Great respect of the Man and Japanese culture. Sugoi. Great to see you hanging out with Sam and reviewing his cars. UpGarage is the best. Japanese people are so kool. Sugoi ✌️ 🇦🇺 🤘🇯🇵
lots of warm fuzzies on this one. great video. cant wait to see you go back! start preparing a container now so on your next trip you guys can all go in on one and you can brag so much more stuff.
This is my favorite series of youtube videos from this channel, more than the E30 series that made me a subscriber. So cool to see all the growth Jimmy and gang, keep it up!
I was watching the Final Bout live stream earlier, and I gotta say, that Ebisu driving is SHINING through. Great job out there! See you at the Summit in Wisconsin later this year!
Absolutely loved the Japan content Jimmy, genuinely gives vibes from a popular Amazon series based around 3 English gentlemen enjoying cars, keep doing amazing things sir!
It's awesome to see more Japan lifestyle(?) stuff. Seeing lap after lap of Ebisu gets old, especially when multiple UA-camrs are showing the same stuff ❤❤
Thanks for sharing such an incredible trip with us. The chemistry between you and Grant did so much for it as well. Such a cool experience. One of these days I'd like to go, but seeing you at 6'4ish" made me realize how that place just isn't built for someone that is 6'10" like me. I'm going to have to just pretend while I drive my STI around Texas.
Holy Shit. The news at the end has me so damn hyped, Always wondered why you never drove fb man! Favourite comp to watch by far, Big Love From South Africa!
I just Loved the energy you brought onto the Japan Vlogs it literally inspires me to keep Pushing and Jimmy you have definitely added fuel to this upcoming Flame, Bless up and All the Best for Final Bout
Love seeing you progress behind the wheel James. I would love to see you drifting nissonda more! Your rising skill level mixed with that car would be sick to see haha
Super stoked you got to enjoy a bit of Japan has to offer! You should see how driving in Germany is - about on par with Japan, but still weird, I totally understand whacha mean😂😂
So rad you’ll be running a Yashio Factory valve cover. Definitely sounds like the UA-camr friend group is going to have to get a container and start to hoard parts away. So many cars already stashed away waiting for the 25yr restriction to pass.
People getting out of your way for you to merge also happens here in the Carolinas...provided we have the space in traffic to do it (as long as you're not hemmed up by the car beside you). Common sense driving that the rest of the country doesn't have lol.
Bro. 2 weeks in Japan and then right into fucking final bout. This shit was training camp. And it worked too. Ps. You and grant could have a TV show. Y’all are great
Thanks for the help putting the transmission in Jimmy! It was great seeing you enjoy japan so much!
Looks like y'all had fun doing that!
Sammit love you
Dammit sammit! 😂 🙏
Good man Sam 🤙
Auughh sammit 🥴
Can’t lie the grant + jimmy vibes are so sick . It’s definitely what put me into you both more than before . Would love to see more collabs in the future( besides more ebisu which I also can’t wait for)
Also that’s not to exclude Sam , adding him into the mix is straight hijinx😂
Plus sam they need to collaborate more
grant be showing all the muricans what japans about, first tj? now jimmy, hes the american drift sensei
Those "Tacoma's" are called Hilux in Japan
I was going to correct him.
That same body style is just a pickup in the us. Anything pre-95 is.
Unless they are stretched and slammed lol then they are tacomas haha
🤓
Europe aswell
Told you, Japan will change your life. I have been so many times now and always see something new and exciting. Cannot wait to go back.

I have one of his valve covers too! That thing is absolute fire! Pics don’t do it justice. Shipping was super expensive

Jimmy,Grant and Sammit y'all rock! Peace
Thank you for introducing Grant to me, youtube, such a nice guy. 👍💯🔧🚗🏁®
This entire trip was a vibe. The driving, the homies, the progression... Thanks for bringing us along for the ride brotha

That valve cover would slap on the black s15 🔥🔥🔥
Ada boy, Jimmy.. We are living vicariously through you. I love your videos of Japan, many of us do. Its a nice change from the shop.

the rugrats celebration music unlocked my inner child for a moment, made my heart flutter 10/10 wholesomely adorable thanks for that
Can’t wait to see how you swing the E36 when you get home after this trip.
These videos are the best. My two UA-camrs together again. I would love to meet you and SAMMIT together in person. Goals for the future
Congrats on the trip duder, you look stoked. Have fun at final bout, super dope news for the return trip.
You're going to do great you're driving skills are on a whole nother level. 👍🇯🇵💯🔧🚗🏁®

Thank you for everything you do dude. The Jimmy Oakes Japan trip was crazy 🔥
Great trip man. Loved the videos, thanks for sharing us the experience!

Great video Jimmy! Lovin the Japan content. You drove so freaking well! Can’t wait to see how it translates as well.
So jealous, what a trip!!
I'll be landing in Japan for the 1st time in my life in a week. Childhood dream come true.
Amazing trip bud, thanks for the content. You came out of your shell driving with Grant now just relax and do the same back home, you got this shit.
I admire the respect you have for others. It’s a quality that’s difficult to find these days...
I was watching the Final Bout live stream earlier, and I gotta say, that Ebisu driving is SHINING through. Great job out there! See you at the Summit in Wisconsin later this year!
Where can I find it

Been a blast watching the trip 🤙

I just Loved the energy you brought onto the Japan Vlogs it literally inspires me to keep Pushing and Jimmy you have definitely added fuel to this upcoming Flame, Bless up and All the Best for Final Bout
That valve cover on the black s15 is definitely going to pop
This was a great vid, one of my favorites of the Japan trip so far
Love the up garage

Great adventure Jim! 🎉

Y’all make me want to go to Japan 🇯🇵

Your in Yokoyama, I lived three blocks away from that place. That was my old stomping grounds.
I've wanted those dually Mooneyes Toyota pickups since I was a kid
Omg yeassss oka chan jimmy oaks collab coming soon? Jimmy needs a yashio factory spec s15 build! Put a yashio factory kit on one of your S15s jimmy!
Wow I’m early AF but I never thought I’d witness a Tacoma dually ever in my life..
So rad you’ll be running a Yashio Factory valve cover. Definitely sounds like the UA-camr friend group is going to have to get a container and start to hoard parts away. So many cars already stashed away waiting for the 25yr restriction to pass.
most of the legendary japanese cars that we cant get are already at or over the 25yr restriction mark..
People getting out of your way for you to merge also happens here in the Carolinas...provided we have the space in traffic to do it (as long as you're not hemmed up by the car beside you). Common sense driving that the rest of the country doesn't have lol.
dude said dai cock ku 🤣
Good morning boys and girls
I really need that white Toyota dually it looked like it had Alcoas on it sick
Should compete in the 36 back home after having had all this rhd practice
Those hiluxs 4door duelys are freaking awesome.
You must have been in up garage for a minute, cuz it was nice and sunny when you went in and it was Pitch Black when you came out LOL😂💯🔧🚗🏁®
Bro. 2 weeks in Japan and then right into fucking final bout.
This shit was training camp. And it worked too.
Ps. You and grant could have a TV show. Y’all are great
@20:57 those would hit hard in the yellow S15!!
Jimmy, those black and yellow recaros are from a suzuki ignis sport.
Damn I'd whip the yellow crunch wrap supreme for sureeee
Stoked you visited mooneyes❤
Then doomed us😊
GrANTS MY HERO.
"Went from taco to crunch wrap supreme" lol loving the Japan content. Stoked to see so much of the adventures. 😊
We have dually tacoma in the stated. They are mostly flatbed
I want jimmy to just move to japan permanently. Imagine the content.

Great company for breakfast !!!
You definitely gotta bring Steph next time you make the trip to japan
I may be broke but atleast I can travel the world with jimmy
