    Bro you hit the nail on the head with the “my car is faster” comment. I don’t care how fast a car can go, I care about how much character and identity a vehicle has to reflect the personality of the driver.

    • @Waybeforethefame

      Exactly and those "faster" mods are usually the most expensive and start to affect the reliability. Us kei people don't have to worry about that

      The beauty that I see in them is their original functionality, reliability, cost & simplicity.
      Those 4 things aren't taken into consideration in the US auto market.
      Not anymore.
      It's not consumer driven.
      When they do consider those 4 things, it's how to make it worse for the consumer.
      It's gotta be .
      There are conspiracy theories and
      There are conspiracies.
      There is a difference.
      (Lately that difference has been around 6mos)
      That's why we can't import these trucks unless they're a few yrs away from being an antique.
      Didn't mean to make it all political (then again, that's what it's typically all about)

    4:20 - You can get a lithium jump box that plugs into the cigarette lighter, quick charges the battery for a couple of minutes and it'll start the WBTF kei truck without removing the body panel to access the battery. It's also not too difficult to mount accessory posts (someplace safe) or add a high current connector that mates to jumper cables.
    JDM Hawaii is rockin' it. They have a great inventory, from mild to wild!

    Of the main off the boat trucks, which one is the best? Like which one looks the best, has the most aftermarket support, part availability, reliability, build quality etc? I’m going to be buying one, I have a couple ideas of what I want to do, but I think I want to do a body kit and paint it, I can paint cars myself I have a booth and guns and have experience painting. Which of the main trucks off the boat do you think is the best?
