Hey guys! Get this question a lot so I thought I'd attempt a video to answer it. No, it's not a perfect list of parts but it's a good start and introduction into what else you may need to keep that kei healthy :) Hope it helps!

Yeah even if it's in great condition I'd definitely immediately do air, oil and fuel filters. Check the coolant and differential oils. Then think about 14" rims and tires, does a wonder for ride quality and top end.
Yes! What he said too ^^^^^
Great video, The front shifter bushings that you’ve gone over are a simple and inexpensive repair that will make driving a much better driving experience right off the bat as every single sambar I’ve seen have been completely bad and missing
You're right. Totally forgot to mention those and had already uploaded the video when it came to mind... my brain is over heated here lol. But very good suggestion!
Love your videos, bought a sambar because of this channel
That's awesome :) You may the right choice!
Your website makes it so much easier to find parts so I’ll be buying from there keep up the good work
Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback! Let me know if you need help finding anything on there 🤙🏻
If you haven’t already, do a spec video on: dimensions, weight, wheel base, features: low gear, 2/4WD, locking diff, etc. across versions gens of the sambar.
really gonna make me do some research huh? lol :D
@@OhKeiGarage Careful what you wish for, haha! Ordering my first Kei truck from Japan as we speak (Sambar), I’ve been searching for specs for days.
Put a shop vac on your oil fill and seal it up with a rag and soem tape and turn it on. That eill allow you to change tge drain plug gasket without losing any oil. :)
Actually I just saw someone do that the other day on instagram replacing a bad oil sensor or something. did the shopvac trick and kept the oil from falling out. I may give that a try! Good video too lol.
Just ordered parts from you last week. My 93 sambar should be arriving at the port on the 20th!!!
NICE!!!
Mine is on order. Don't even have a ship date yet. Lots of learning....
don't worry. I'm still learning too. fake it till you make it lol!
Kevin, yours was a timely video. I just purchased a 1994 Sambar Supercharged truck.
Thanks for the reminder about getting the EFI fuel filters. I know that the supercharged is fuel injected, but I might have overlooked that detail when buying the fuel filters (especially if only the carbureted ones were visible on the shelf).
P.S. I miss the wildlife in the background. 🦆
LOL it's too hot to film the wildlife outside, plus all the birds are hiding in the shade melting, or playing in their pools. BUT soon! I'll be back out there again :)
Maybe a brake fluid flush and bleed. Check replace brake lines - vacuum lines - fuel lines - ?
Thanks for sharing. Great content and presentation. I'm currently in the process of importing a Sambar truck. I'm going to be putting 23-inch wheel/tire with a 2-inch body lift. What is the bolt pattern and offset. Not all Kei trucks are the same. If you could do a video covering wheels. That would be great. Thanks
I do have a video on my wheels lol, may be helpful. you can search my videos and type "wheel" and should come up! 4x100 is the bolt pattern tho!
Good video, buddy. We just reached out for inquiring an opportunity of product review via email. Hope hear from you soon ❤
Hey! Yes! Next video will be using your guys LED's. Super excited for that!
@@OhKeiGarage Does that mean there was a rep from AUXITO reached out to you for doing an review and shipped a sample product?
@@OhKeiGaragemy email haven’t received a response yet
Yes Jackson had reached out to me 👍🏻
Do you have a video of a r12 to 134a conversion
i think all you have to do is change the fittings. drain the system first and then add the fittings for 134a. that should be it
