Lift install is at 2:10 mark
Tire road test is at 7:30 mark
tire off-road test at 13:56 mark
Against everything I read on the internet, I decided to TRY and install a 3” lift. Although I COULD have gotten it in there, if the strut extended all the way while offroading it would ABSOLUTELY break an axle. DO NOT DO 3” LIFT. So I took that off and just put the 23” aggressive mud tires, no lift needed YET and I ordered another lift that is 2”. hoping to get this up to a side by side SXS UTV status!
I do a test of the new tires, offroad, rock climb articulation, hill climb, mountain and mud. Does really good!
I ordered a CV boot too, mine was ripped so I showed my way of making it hold dirt out a little longer...
Dihatzu Hijet (translates to midget in Japanese) Climber Mini-truck, this one is a 1992, 7th Gen, S83P, 660cc Minitruck. The “climber” means it has rear axle lock. Amir has about 60 units in stock, he was very helpful.
Researching online I did find l lot of information, but Amir explains a LOT more than I knew, he has been in the business for 15 years. Plus if Bubbles in Trailer Park Boys has one, it HAS to be cool!
Don't forget you're buying a used vehicle, check it all out, they're over 25 years old! Some are in much better shape than others. Check for leaks, CV boots ripped, Loose suspension, Clutch slippage, clunks etc. Just like any used vehicle
S839 specs:
660cc 4 vavle 3 cyl engine 48-53hp carburated
weight: 1500 lbs
length 10'8" (128"). width 4'6" (54") w/o mirrors. Height 5'10" (70")
Load capacity 800 lbs
Max Speed 55-60mph
I purchased mine at Boeki USA, www.boekiusa.com has their updated inventory. Ask for Amir and tell them MOTOCHEEZ sent you!
I know there may be other videos of this.. but this is my Cheezy style!
More info (Wikipedia):
The Daihatsu Hijet (Japanese: ダイハツハイゼット) is a cabover microvan and pickup truck produced and sold by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu since 1960. Despite the similarities between the Hijet name and Toyota's naming scheme for its trucks and vans (Hiace and Hilux), the name "Hijet" has been in use for Daihatsu's Kei trucks and Microvans since 1960, over two decades before Toyota took control. "Hijet", when transliterated into Japanese, is very similar to "Midget", one of Daihatsu's other mini-trucks. The Hijet competes in Japan with the Honda Acty, Subaru Sambar, Mitsubishi Minicab, Suzuki Carry and the Nissan Clipper.

I drive a 2002 Daihatsu Hiijet boxtruck as a daily driver to haul tools. I drive only on public roads. Man, its a dependable machine. Its has electronic fuel injection. I save a lot of gas and it never broke down. I only added a class 3 towing hitch, because my tool trailer needs a class 3 towing hitch.
You will enjoy your mini truck, good choice. thanks for the video.
Awesome. They are very practical and reliable from what I've heard. Thanks😁
Tire date code is "3318" Manufactured Week 33 Year 18
👍👍👍
The oil what changes in December 4th year 29 (Heisei) which is December 4th 2017, so that is not long ago the truck was serviced cool!
I think the miles on the truck are original, these trucks in smaller rural communities don't get driven long distances. Your truck was from Mie Prefecture, (from what I can see of what's left of the license plate), google it. West of Osaka, it is a fairly rural area of Japan, lots of farmers and lots of coastal communities with fishing villages.
They are everywhere in the Philippines. Just Google, Filipinos purchase them used and modify the drive and use them for anything.
Nice!
Yes that's true.. here in our country Philippines we have many kind of mini trucks here that came from japan.. mostly here it used for transportation and extend the body that can carry 18 people..
We have a 2" lift on a Sambar TT2 and fit 14" super lightweight alloys with 75 series Hancook IPike directional mud and snows. We run the IPikes all year round. They are fairly quiet and haven't let us down on wet grass or slippery dry grass on steep pitches in the back 40. They are especially good on ice and snow. The alloy wheels look pretty cool. The in-house tire guy (me) really appreciates how easy it is to sling around a rim with mounted tire using only one hand. Note to all: a 2" lift over-articulates the CV boots. As a result, boot life is very short for both inners and outers, front and rear.
Good info. Do you know the rim spacing? Like 4x2" I have 4x4" and they're way too wide. (next video) without cutting and then mud flares.
What size tire and actual diameter are they? Thanks
@@MotoCheez I went out and checked in a 50 mph wind and freeze-ass NH temps to make sure. The tires are Hancook IPike W409's, 175-70 R14's (23.6" dia) mounted on 14 x 5.54-100/11435S DRG DR31 S rims. The rims are gorgeous on this truck. I never put the steel 13" summer set back on. They rot in the barn. I got the alloy set with rubber from Discount Tire Direct in 2011. Shim rings were required to fit the hubs. Just now thinking I get new rubber for winter 2019, but the vehicle is still moving around in deep snow and black ice without any problems. We'll hit the wear bars this summer. The summers are hard on the winter rubber compound. I obviously don't drive a lot of miles in this vehicle, usually about 1500 miles a year. Really enjoyed your video(s). Always good to glean as much as possible info on these trucks. Hard to get anyone familiar with them to work on them and hard to get the odd part. I made a speedometer cheat sheet, 5 mph increments up to 100 mph, and put it on the driver's A-pillar. The -11.4% retardation has to be addressed. The speedo reads 72 kph at 50 mph.
Awesome! I really appreciate that! I am certainly keeping a not of the size! It's cooled off here and windy too! Follow me on Instagram if you have one! I'll follow back
Only part 3 and I'm sold. These little guys are not easy to find in my area (Michigan UP) and the ones that are around are going for twice what they are worth. Time for me to look into having one shipped. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, seems the ones for sale private are 6k here, the place I bought it from in NJ has 60 at a time, the bring in containers full. It was nice to choose from a bunch. Their prices are decent, I thought about importing one direct but it's a crapshoot and by the time you get it through customs etc your price is up near what I paid. Might be worth a trip with a trailer to someone who gets them in bulk. Thanks!😄 Info about dealer in description. If you go, tell Amir MOTOCHEEZ sent you!
Check Japanese Mini Truck Imports LLC on Facebook, I'm in Delaware. Thank you
I live in WA and found out there is a distributor here with a huge stock. Prices are reasonable. Will have to check if they can be registered for road use.
Cool. Let us know. Boekiusa is on west coast too
My ex-rental little Hyundai made that noise when you cranked the steering lock for a while. Someone had tried to sort it because the shock tower nut had been severely mauled by what I assume is an intern tech with a steroid abuse problem.
I liked seeing the insane other drivers. I don't get much of this on the bike, but whenever I'm in the car (and can't get away...) the drivers just seem so much worse. I tell my wife that riding is way less stressful than driving.
I've seen those around. I used to drive a Hino for work and I really like the overhead cab for tight turning and all round visibility. Something like that looks really good for my future hunt camp.
These are the ultimate hunting vehicle!
Nice truck man! I love these little trucks, I saw so many cool tricked out ones while I was stationed in Japan
Thanks, yeah, always wanted one. This will be tricked out soon! 😁
I was stationed in yokosuka and saw so many of these things and bought a hiace van not much bigger than these things!
😁😁 nice!
We have the 2WD versions in Burma. BUT with 1000cc engines. NOTE: If you want to go off-road, need to put 300lb of sandbags over back axle for weight.
Nice! 1000cc
I live here in West Virginia and the guys who sells them here have them with up to a 5 inch lift on them. They said when you go over 2 inch lift you have to replace the struts and add some other suspension adjustment parts. I haven't seen the full kits for sale and they made most of the adjustment brackets/fittings parts.
Yes, I've looked into that you, have to drop the entire driveline and front differential down 3in to gain that extra. it doesn't look like that big of a job and it may be something I might do in the future.
Leading with Ernest....top marks....
Knowhatimean Vern! 👍👍
You need to stick a bash plate on the underside to protect the engine and gearbox with it being mid mounted
👍 definitely, on my lust
Genuinely impressed with that thing.Climbed those off-road inclines without a single shit. That's very impressive.
Thanks😁
A side by side is $25,000 and you can't drive it on the street!
👍👍👍👍🔥
Can't run kei truck on the road in my home state either :(
Awww wtf
www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/minitrucks
$3 per pound or $10-$20 per pound. It's no contest! The endless advantages and usefulness. Sells itself, dunnit?
there is tons of these things in New Zealand you can find them pretty much brand new road legal for cheaper that this
We can only register 25 years or older imports... That's why the price is so high
Oh my. I sit on you song, I laughed for like 20 seconds. Brings one back a decade and a half, lol
👍👍👍😁
Thank you for your purchase. Love your videos, great content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in realtime with these little gems. We try to keep at least 50 Minitrucks in each store and almost always runout before the next shipment.
👍👍❤️

Do you have any distributors near Arizona?
@@rudysaldivar4228 please check Japanese Mini Truck Imports on Facebook, maybe I can help you
OH SHIT! THATS WHAT THOSE STRAPS ARE FOR!! I've been looking at those on my truck wondering what in the hell they are for. I've been locking my seatbelts under my seats to hold them up.....lol
Holy crap! That is a capable little truck. It would be an incredible hunting vehicle on narrow forest service roads in the mountains here in Arizona.
Hell yeah! It's actually narrower than my Polaris ranger was.
👍👍🔥🔥

I tried to put shrinkwrap on a torn boot and wound up w/ a lot of grease on my hands. You have the right idea about lifting the front end & turning the wheel.
Yeah, the stretch wrap doesn't hold well for long on these, but it last a little while.
Loving the mini truck content, just got recommended these videos on my home page! Editing is cracking me up, subbed! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 😁
I got a da63t a few years back ended up doing the same thing. Tried the lift but then took it off. Manage to fit 23in tires on it. Just had to put 3/4 in wheel spacers on to clear the shock in the front. And take some plastic out around the fender. Nice truck!
I bought a Suzuki dump too! I have 24s on it no lift or spacers. Gonna life soon
10:45 the good is you never nee a horn with that tires, lol
Haha. Makes it safer!
Yokohama makes a 828 digger 2 in a 145r12lt. That looks like it has some bite.
Maybe wider wheels and fender flares . to make it more stable off road!
5:58 The number means that the tire it's made 33rd week 2018.
Please watch out a tire older then 5 years it's not safe it turns from rubber in to plastic even if it's not used.
Winter tires turn bad after 3 years.
Thanks for the info! I know on RVs they say change every 3 years to be safe
we have a lot of these in Pakistan and are very handy you can take them to there limit
They definitely pull their weight!!
That thing goes through the woods like a dirt bike, nice!
TY. Next video I'm working on is some extreme offroading w jeeps. Thing does great! (SE2 EP1)
Mine, 1994 Carry 51D can carry 1500 pounds with it being the same weight.
I'll have to see if my Ram can carry 14,000 pounds to compete!
Totally stock. 13inch wheels. Street tires. Front and rear steel bumpers with 5000pd winch in front. Otherwise no rear upgrades done.... YET
My area is absolute opposite of your beautiful surroundings being in the South East corner of Arizona, Cochise county and at the foothills of the local mountains but we're still in the desert!
(5000ft level)
I've got the truck for my 40 acres lot here but spend more time chasing the monsoons and photo-ing the storms, "storm chasing" one might say.
I've got some great mountainous areas here with the mining back in the day with the "roads" that were used a century ago and my little beast of a stock height and suspension with the diff and axle lockers have not let me down yet. One of the trickiest ones was a very loose rocky hill with 6 inch and up rocks. Had to get out once in a while to move some bigger ones but had her on 2 wheels at times. (ex. front right, left rear sort of thing). At your 17 minute mark is about how it was for a good 500 yards and just as steep! Was a BLAST! These little things surprise me but, like you said about the articulation and the clearance is what it's missing. I joke saying "IT'LL CLIMB A CLIFF!" I'll have to post some video on my channel soon as I'll be starting a channel specifically for it.
One of the most narcissistic vehicles I've owned, not including a Dick Dean Shala kit I had years ago. The conversations started when ever I reach a destination is always a fun time!
Be safe. Be Happy. Enjoy life because we don't get another chance!
That's awesome. Those lockers are a must on articulate rock for sure!
What is the metallic snacking noise? Kinda got something loose in there.
I believe it's the reeds, sounds different in person
JDM Imports CT sells these in CT
If the cv boots go again or just as insurance I use these things on my UTV called cv savers it’s a harder warring boot that goes over the cv boots.kinda a belt and suspenders deal or I keep two in the box if I rip one in my other ATVs while we’re riding.same thing with CBC mongrel dot tires.
I'll check them out
You'll have fun with the camber issues when you lift it, I put stainless steel 3/8's cable in both sides of the front end to prevent the axles from popping out when you hang a wheel off-road
Yeah, first I bought a 3-inch lift, against everything that people said online, I bought one anyway to try to install and it is way too much!. I measured how much flex I can get out of the axles which was a little bit over 2" with the shorter axle so that's what I went with. 2" is the absolute Max, so hopefully I won't pop an axle. What lift did you do?
I have toward the beginning of the series. ua-cam.com/play/PLcxhNVEfTm_MfjuzlAIXqX5dTFF1uySJP.html
little truck is impressive
TY 😁😁😁👍
We had a look of those Suzuki vans in Barbados from the 80s. Not so much nowadays but they're still around.
I want one of those vans too!
A nice alternative to UTV, having a cab to warm up in for deer hunting season. Small enough to get through tight spaces/brush for hog hunting.
Agreed!
Ive wanted one of those mini truck for along time! I go to auctions all the time with my grandpa and see them go for 2/3k all day! I see little van ones the most tho! Cant wait for this series! Now you got me wanting togo buy one for real now! But cant register it in illinois I dont think!
Most places have 25 year old rule to register. I'd love to find one for about two or three kei I don't know anybody to go to auctions around here with. How often do you actually see them in the auction
Usually once or twice a year we have a auction house down the street from me and its all heavy equipment, golf carts, lawn mowers, atv, etc.... anything with a motor! Pretty sweet deal! But usually the things you want go pretty high haha
Nice!
The reflective triangle is dope
350kg or 772# is the cargo capacity. A lot of these come with a sticker on the tailgate that states that 🙂
YES! I rounded to 800 lbs. I overload it all the time anyway
I own a Piaggio Porter 4x4, that is a Hijet re-branded, with a 993cc three cylinder injected engine.
Here in Italy there is a lot of them, but the majority is 2wd.
I simply love it.
You can see a couple of videos I made about it on my channel.
Can you say me if on the rear axle there is the gear ratio stamped, and if yes, what it is?
Mine haven't the diff lock, and if the gear ratio is the same I'm considering to buy a japanese one.
No stamp. But I've heard 530:1
@@MotoCheez Probably is a lot different, since mine is a 993cc.
Mine is a 4,875:1 ratio.
I have to separate the handbrake cables to brake the slipping wheel, if needed.
I bought that as my primary car 10years ago, then I leave it to my parents and I moved 300km away, but recently they decided they didn't need it anymore and they want to scrap it since it has some issues to be fixed, so I put it on my employer truck and carried here.
Monday I have to bring it home from the repair shop, they changed the LPG bottle (it has an injected LPG system) and made the tests for road use, and then is ready to run!
Nice!
I have a nice orange 2000 suzuki kei, with a lift and rims and plow . Im so proud to drive it around. I had to tint the windows because I'm not really a showy dude, people were pointing at me..lol
Nice! Yeah I'm really not a show guy either. Believe it or not... These get a lot if "stares" 😄
I legit thought Gaylordsville was a joke, I stand corrected. I feel like a meme lord jokingly said that for a name and it stuck.
Haha, I always think Gaylord Fokker in Meet the parents.
I know isuzu troppers are extremely easy to convert between right and left hand drive. In fact a good friend of mine has one from Australia with a million miles on it it if you would believe it.
The dash would be the hard part.. wow, that's a lot of miles!
pretty sure the DOT is the uk. we have standards that are department of transport. be have brake fluid 'dot4' and stuff like that.
Only 55mph? I've had 3 of these and they cruise at 70 easy, you sure there's not another gear? , all mine were 5 speed .
Yeah, 60 max. Runs out of RPMs. Needs 5th! For sure
Just put a Nv4500 with a 2.8R Cummins and call it good
👍👍👍😄
WTH? Damn man. U got your own tire machine and balancer? Very nice!
Ya. Aquired them used about 10 years ago, gets a lot of use!
Spoiled🥰
Cool now you have a truck and a quad in one.
Exactly! With heat wipers and crank windows. 😄😁😁
NIce video. love the editing. subed. also looked like NH. then the post clued me into CT. love the northern countryside.
Thanks!
These are left hand drive in the Phillipines...
I've heard that. I guess they convert then there?
I wonder if a subaru engine could be squeezed in there!
Subaru makes these minitrucks, but the engine is in the back, and no diff lock.
I'd call that a successful test drive 👍
Dunno what the rust protection would be for the Japan market, when the lift comes in it'd be a good time to coat the lil f'er in wax oyl
Thanks! Yeah, I plan on using white Rust-Oleum oil based for the frame etc. I've used the black on my jeeps etc and it works awesome holding the rust back.
Thanks for the video- this one just help make my mind up as I definitely want one now - if that truck could make it up that incline that was my sold moment now just to save up money. I wanted a side by side but they are crazy expensive.
In the Philippines it’s left-hand drive. I think they have a kit for conversion from right to left hand drive, even the dashboard.
I've been told they cut the dash an custom convert them by a few people.
@@MotoCheez I think it’s a kit because it’s seamless. They used to cut and weld, but that was in the 90s, and you could tell.
@@MotoCheez they’re called ‘Multicab’ in the Philippines. Just search “Multicab prices Cebu Philippines”.
I've seen them. Had many from Philippines comment early on.
Ahh. Ok. Just going by what people were telling me. Had one guy wanted to trade for LHD. I like the RHD
Tires look awesome on that little truck.
👍👍😁 they grab like a mofo, but a bit noisey on road... DOT though
I want to buy one but in in the city in NY 😥😥
You can. Check the forums etc. Registered classic JDM
In the Philippines no right hand drive allowed. All of these of which there are many are converted to left hand drive.
Wish they'd export to USA 😁
@@MotoCheez if Japan can export 25 yr I'd imagine Philpines can too, think it's the only SE Asian country with right hand drive, Might be hard to find a lot of 25 yr Philipino microtrucks not beaten up bad, roads are alot worse there than Japan, spent few years of my childhood south of the PI
True... Very true
7:58 sounds like a B-25 bomber plain.. 😂👍
Haha. Agreed
Now I want a mini truck
👍👍😁🔥🔥🔥
lovin the crap_shoot vibes.
I like it! Smaller just might be better. But wait, you have Mountains in Connecticut? hahaha nice video bro. peaceout
Lol. Thanks!
I like your movie clip inserts.
TY
Im used to RHD as I live in the UK (and was born in South Africa 😂)
Nice!
They do have left hand drive ones i have a 2wd dump hijet! And a 2 cylinder cony that is also left hand drive!
The place I bought mine from didn't have left hand drive. I'm not sure.
that old school CV boot fix FTMFW
👍👍👍😁🔥🔥
I'm Impressed! (O.O) We need a couple of them here in the North
Yes! Let's do a mini convoy! Like a few others mentioned 😁😁
Please check Japanese Mini Truck Imports on Facebook, I'm in Delaware.
Personally I'd put wider rear tires... but thats just me.
I love your hyjet
Ty. I'm going to put the 23 is on so I have to cut it and just leave wide when I show off
mitsubishi made one that was on a slid bar and you could flip a handle and slid it and pedals to the left side. but not sure about the gauges.
Had another guy tell me that, I've never seen one
Great adventure well filmed. Cheers!
Thanks!!
FYI next time you want to show "steepness" go up with a half full cup of water on the dash so we can see the angle of your dangle. :P
😄👍
hey man cool videos i live up in litchfield county. did you get this thing registered? how may i ask? its really put me off buying one because of lack of info at the dmv on these. but why would anyone buy a shitty utv when you can have something road legal and build like a truck!
There's a dozen people I've talked to from CT who got theirs registered in CT, you just have to have it inspected with all the import paperwork. I did all this off-road stuff before doing inspection, so registering through VT right now. I'm rarely going to use on the road.
Agree on the UTV comment!!🔥🔥
I’ve had good luck with Tensor tires on my stuff the regulator AT’s are good dot and look like sumthin that be on a Jeep there 8 ply work good.litte pricie but last.
They don't make them in a 24". That's the max these will fit without major mods
MotoCheez dam ok that sucks, my bad can think of any dot All terrain lower profile tires that might be that small,haven’t got that far in the series yet sure you find something when need second set!
@@adamadams6740 no problem. I like the input, Russia has a set of knarly tires but they won't import them to USA...
I like it. Cool truck.
👍👍 TY
Feisty li'l truckling you got there! What would you call it, a burro? Mountain goat? With that bed you could call it a flatcat, but you'd have to do a tread conversion, probably.
👍👍
Ha Ha, Truckling! That’s cute.🦆🦆
😄
This Lil' Truck does 0K in the Hills and the Mud too. It kinda Surprised me to.
👍 right!
What's 0k?
You are to funny..... keep the truck videos coming
TY! I'm silly
Subbed for the Tim and Eric reference
👍👍👍
There a folk who build these little babys to use off road and they go everywhere with them back in my youth(70s) we use the honda acty vans to take our trials bikes in they can go neally anywhere you point them .
That's cool! I'm loving mine sofar

cool video on the truck but I dont like how it's a vlog and so long
What's up mini truck. Very interesting vid. Good job.
Thank you!!
Where did you get the front wheels? It looks like they have multiple lug patterns.
They're multi lug pattern, they came on the Suzuki dump I had. I've seen them on JDM Japanese sites for sale.
Did I hear you say that you could put a plow on the front of some of these trucks? Just what I need, but I am not going to Jersey to get one.
Yes! They plow with these. I'll put one on here eventually.
Please check Japanese Mini Truck Imports LLC on Facebook, I'm in Delaware
That's impressive 4x4 ing. Does being on the right side kind of throw off reference on hill climbs, since we drive on the left side? Seems like it would feel a little awkward. I hope some people remember Vern. Hay Vern. Great video Moto.
TY! It's not as bad as I thought it would be driving on the right side, the only thing I screw up with is when I back up I look over my right shoulder instead of my left shoulder. And of course I go to the wrong door when I go to it
The little truck that could! ;)
👍👍👍😁
I've been curious about these things too! 4-5k delivered to the port of Vancouver. I'm needing to actually sit in one first though, I'm 6'2" and my main concern is not being able to sit comfortably in it. I do love that the bed is the perfect height for a work table though haha
I'm 5'10" 230lbs and fit fine. My uncle is 6'2" and thin, he can drive it but his.legs higher, my buddy Vee is a big guy 6'2" he barely gets behind the wheel. I should do a video on how taller ppl fit
You can get little vans that are the same size but the seats slide back so they would give taller people more room. And they have a back seat. They're pretty cool but they're a van..
I also see some of the newer trucks have an extended cab
@@MotoCheez, Yeah I've seen those also. And I bet their seats slide back a little farther to give more leg room. They're all cool, even the little 4x4 vans.. lol.
Agreed!
Yes Tim and Eric!
👍👍👍
just waiting on that drag race between the hawk 250 and the mini truck.
any plans on installing some led lighbars on it ?
I'm going to have to do that I guess it's a race. I may end up putting a light bar on top if I can find a thin one
I’m just getting into this series but was there any way to lift the rear 3 more inches so it’s got 10” ground clearance.
You'd have to drop the front diff, can't angle the CV shafts any more than a 2" lift or it'll bind them.
Before you added the supercharger, was there that much difference in torque between the 23” tires and the 25” tires? I bought mine with 25” tires and almost can’t drive up mild inclines without being in 4 low. I was considering dropping down to 23” tires.
There was a slight noticeable difference, you can also do the larger carburetor like I did before I installed the supercharger that actually made quite a bit of difference in power
Mine is a fuel injected model. I may just have to bite the bullet and go supercharger route lol. I may never financially recover from watching your videos! Love the content!
@cmadd21 putting 23s on will definitely make it better! If it has a distributor try advancing the timing a few degrees you'll get some more horsepower out of it Just listen for detonation keep advancing it until you hear detonation while you're lugging it up a hill and then back off a few degrees
That thing looks like fun.
It is! Can't wait to get it on the road 😁
hey cheese on the video about trouble shooting the lights at the end you said if you rnning lights are on and the head light aint coming on then you may have problems with your light plug so i replaced that and the buld and still no go. how would i fix the ground wire?
Check to see with a light probe. If the high and low are hot, and the ground is hit, then your ground is bad. Ground shouldn't light the bulb.
very nice video.thank you for your effort making this entertaining video.
Thanks! 😁
this channel is hilarious. Subscribed
TY!
these mini trucks and small offroaders like suzuki jimnys are actually better at offroading than jeeps and SUVs because those big vehicles likes to get stuck...
Cool mini truck..looked like a lot of fun driving through the woods. You putting a winch on it?
Yeah, just finished a 2" lift tonight. Front bumper with winch and rear bumper w hitch soon.
Why not a 3-inch lift in the back and a 2 inch lift in the front

Even 2seater jeeps are table top wide booty bitches beside these mini-trucks
I almost bought a van like these trucks. Until they said it can't be registered here. It was only $1,500! I'd still like to have it...
What state?
@@MotoCheez and $1,500 from where? Can't be a 4wd/AC/diff locks??
That little truck looks like it would be a blast.It would be a great little farm truck.I live in Canada how can I get my hands on one or maybe two keep one for parts.
I saw a few from Canada comment so there must be a dealer up there, maybe Google a dealer?. I have links in description and MOTOCHEEZ.com where I got mine
@@MotoCheez yes, there's a guy up in Alberta. Look him up on UA-cam
