On the next episode at Oakes' garage RJ goes looking for dwarfs in the Kei truck. BHall becomes the first BMW owner to ever use turn signals. Jimmy starts the KA--T swap on the S15.
"KA-T swap the S15." That's like Rob Dahm doing the 13B-REW swap on the C5 Z06. And it will be glorious to see the two sides of the S chassis community. "I'm gonna KA-T swap my S15." "NO! YOU CAN'T! *Proceeds to do a TED Talk on why to keep the superior JDM "master race" engine over the older inferior truck engine.* "I'm gonna KA-T swap my S15." Really? That is a cool idea!"
A little tech tip for painting wheels. Use a deck of playing cards and they slip in the edge of the wheel and then it masks it off super fast and then you can put tape around the outside edge to cover the rest of the tire.
Jimmy i know your probably not into making a vid of it but id be interested to see you give it a proper good cleaning under the bed/ archs/ engine etc i think that would be satisfying
Lived in Indonesia for 20 yrs and used those trucks for hauling my bikes around. Brand new they were about 8 thousand bucks! The suzukis and mitsubishis were the toughest of the bunch.
cut a lil hole in the cab behind the seat and put a sub woofer box in the bed facing into the cab. use rubber to weather seal it and and put the box in a plastic container or a metal container to be sure no water gets in
going back to watch this because im swapping my m54 right now and remembered this from years ago.... funny to hear jimmy say "downfall of the channel is my lack of getting stuff done.. someon who can paint...." FUCK YEAH SPOON
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m in the process of replacing everything engine wise back to oem parts because the previous owner sold me the car without mentioning any of the plausible issues, recently just got parts to install and this video couldn’t be more perfect to show me. Always loved your content. Keep it coming 💯🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Most people don’t realize or know that quality sound has way more to do with your source than the speakers. As long as you don’t exceed the power rating of the simple motors(speakers), you’ll get great sound with a better source (amplifier)
Because that's untrue. Shit speakers will always sound like shit no matter what you power them with. Ask anyone who's ever competed is SQ competitions or built systems.
I got that same "Dual" head unit in my hooptie. Got it on clearance at Walmart after Xmas for $11 and came with 2 speakers. Its actually been really good for the price.
@@n996h I got mine for totally free but it's had a HARD life. Been from Arkansas to Cali 4 times and back. And to Wisconsin from Arkansas 3 times. It's missing the passenger seat because my friends dad that bought it new in the 80s was a delivery driver and needed space. The driver door is also wonky so I crawl in the passenger door and plop into the driver seat like a weirdo. Love the 3 cylinder POS though.
@@n996h if it helps your decision to buy one, with even half assed maintenance they'll run almost forever. There's a reason they're the first and oldest Japanese car maker. They make some reliable stuff for realllllllllly cheap.
I had a HiJet on loan over the summer while I had some work done on my AZ-1. I was using a JBL Charge bluetooth speaker which I had on the dash, and then one day it accidentally fell into the footwell - INSTANTLY SOUNDED BASSIER! So yeah, if you can somehow mount a speaker down there it sounds great.
DON'T WELD THE NUT! hope you guys see this. I just suggested your idea to my mate who has a 330i as a fix for his and he said people started welding it in the UK but it makes the shaft even weaker and they started snapping shafts!
This is in reference to your grime removing technique for bolts, by putting them in a water bottle with wax and grease remover..harbor freight sells a 2 liter ultrasonic cleaner for like 50 bucks. I fill fill it 2/3 with water then add about a cup of simple green cleaner, and run it. Bolts and hardware come out spotless
Nice the intake mod😎 i remember if the old e36 328 engine. Gets around 25 hp extra euro spec. 1 thing brain try to buy a e36 with a 2.1 liter 4 cilinder from HARTGE. Its a tuner. They took a 1.8 16v and made it beter its spicy.. 170 hp stock. Nice turbo. Your good to go..😍 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cool truck. Next time you have wheels to paint get a pack of index cards and use those to go around the wheel. Way quicker than tape. Trust me I have been doing body work for 25+ years.
If you use the wash bottle trick for the screws make a little bit sand in it and steel wool and a good yeeet oven cleaner SHAKE IT after that clean it with breake clean and it looks like brand new
Not sure if you’re keeping the stock wheels for very long or not. But if you are, spray them with a few layers of clear coat and they’ll stay nice for even longer, they sure turned out really clean.
Mannn. I’m not gonna lie. I’m so dang excited for b-hall to drive this. I just did the same swap to my 323 touring. Freaking love it. Altho mine was the m52tu25 auto and now it’s m54b30zhp with a (unfortunately) getrag 5 speed Btw. Totally forgot about the oil pump nut. Thanks for the reminder. Time to drop the pan 😩
Take that front emblem off the truck and add the Oakes “O”
Nah man, it should be a pineapple.
Also color match the front bumper and headlight surrounds

Has to be these wheels for sure
Or superlites would do the job too 👌🏻👍🏻
When Jimmy's lady was tightening the bolts and the rachet skipped off, I literally felt my stomach drop. That's scary 🤣
Like he said perfect torque spec. She did it every time

Gotta start bringing Brian on fulltime pay the man haha nah the mans a beast
tha would be dope but i doubt jimmy has he bones to pay for a full time body man
Yeah, doubt Jimmy wants to pay a full time body guy atleast the same as he makes now, plus benefits for a very very part time job lol
I can’t afford him 🤣
Jimmy Oakes you will soon 👍🏻

“Don’t cut your factory pigtails” says the engineer
But def destroy the radio you are keeping the factory pigtails just to be able to put back in someday
@@Onewheelordeal Those radios can be had on beforward for pennies on the dollar.

imagine if they got a set of Watanabes or bbs to fit on the truck
Or lift it on some 44s
Bbs
or xr4 lonchamps or some other kyusha shoes, would fit right in with some japan spec shit
Bbs from a e30 Bmw or older vw might work
Wheels look fresh but my favorite part was the radio wiring. Edit: Also, how about a “How many ugga duggas?” T shirt?.
The good vibes in this video are why I watch every day
Awesome now I want one lol.
Ring liner the bed a sick wrap and some rims truck would be amazing
David Diaz same. Although the last thing I need is another project haha

Respect for not cutting up the harness man i guilty of doing both lol
Would miata seats help with the soud system? Having the speakers on the head rest and stuff
Ooh clever idea
Totally different seating style. Trucks you sit with your legs down like a chair, knees 90; Miata and other low cars your feet go out in front.
@@Onewheelordeal they could always make raised seat rails??
@@Onewheelordeal I have mx5/miata seats in a mazda bongo which have legs at 90°
cut a lil hole in the cab behind the seat and put a sub woofer box in the bed facing into the cab. use rubber to weather seal it and and put the box in a plastic container or a metal container to be sure no water gets in
only use like a 4 inch sub or a 6 inch at most
going back to watch this because im swapping my m54 right now and remembered this from years ago.... funny to hear jimmy say "downfall of the channel is my lack of getting stuff done.. someon who can paint...." FUCK YEAH SPOON
Mad respect for not cutting factory wiring
What an awesome way to wake up on a friday, thanks Oakes gang
“Slam it on tarmacs and daily it”
Haven’t heard this in a while 🤣
lmao havent that in years hahaha wonder what onion is up to these days
Back when Orion wasn't a douchebag
Love spending my lunch break with jimmy o and the boys.
The dynamic and genuine friendship you have with all your boys is good to see ❤️❤️❤️ genuinely just mates doing things 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

This is my new favorite build. I love the vibe hahaha
Last time I was this early, his drift car had a roof.
I got that same "Dual" head unit in my hooptie. Got it on clearance at Walmart after Xmas for $11 and came with 2 speakers. Its actually been really good for the price.
ATV tires should be on the mod list
I have a Daihatsu Charade. This makes me so hard. Also, when RJ said like a glove, it seemed weird after ages of Rudnikisms
Starts like a glove

What a perfect throw with that gasket hahah you guys have fun in that shop for sure.. carefree getting it done
I like when you just film yourself workin on stuff, hustlin to get content out
Dude, using the connector from the old stock radio. What a smart idea!! So much better than cutting off the factory connection 👍
Or......you could figure out which make of car they bought their radios from and got an aftermarket wiring harness.
Good trick for painting wheels is putting 4x6 note cards between the lip and tire instead of masking
Mini truck needs TE’s
Is that you tommy?
White te-V’s would look awesome
nah, need some geniune smol bois. like some advan a3as or longchamps, starsharks, something rly cool. not that TEs aren't cool tho
Old school Work Equip wheels, for the period correct look
TE’s are so overplayed and would not go well with that truck. It needs old school SSR’s or works
White te37-v’s would look FIRE on the kei truck!
DON'T WELD THE NUT!

Issa kei truck! Looking forward for this build
Can’t wait for some dirt bike content
I have the exact same mini-truck, if you pull the door panels off there are cutouts for 4" speakers ready to go
Thought this was an old Hoonigan video by the thumbnail lol, still got excited though.
When cleaning bolt and nuts with a bottle add BB's or old bearings. Helps a lot
did not know the sides of the mini truck came down like that. Thats badass.
index cards work great to stick between the rim and tire for painting
👍
Big love for that Husaberg
so keen to see a dirtbike episode! letttsgoo
I really need to get me one of these. I want either that or a turbo K van. Be such a sick daily
Slam it on tarmacs!!! Can’t wait to see what guys do with this thing, so dope!!!
That factory speaker setup sound pretty good 👌🏼
ayy jimmy cant wait for the build to start further
Those wheels are so hot now! 🔥🔥🔥
Be sick to see it sitting on some 13x7 jdm wheels
Smooth Jams with Jimmy!!
Love the new truck and the BMW is coming along absolutely awesome keep up the good work
Cool truck. Next time you have wheels to paint get a pack of index cards and use those to go around the wheel. Way quicker than tape. Trust me I have been doing body work for 25+ years.
Extend the speaker wire so when your chilling outside the minitruck you could have music it's a marine speaker so its waterproof
I was shocked to hear how good that speaker sound
Dude, that truck cries out for some pyramid visor tweeters and some 6x9" or 8" woofers in the doors. 😎👍🏁
Love a 20 minute video
How's this man not at million subs
That DragonBall shifter is DOOOOOOOOPE in the truck!
The radio part was a whole vibe 👌🏻
If you use the wash bottle trick for the screws make a little bit sand in it and
steel wool and a good yeeet oven cleaner SHAKE IT after that clean it with breake clean and it looks like brand new
Hey Jimmy, checkout headrest speakers for the mini-truck! Good sound and it will save space!
I love that shift knob
I recommend using acetone for any part cleaning dissolves really fast so perfect even for like cam caps or internals !!
15:04: *Agressively Brake cleans*
Very nice buddy….it looks awesome!
Anime stickers on the mini truck ASAP 😂😂💪💪💪💪💪
Shoutout to that no prep paint job
I may not know a ton about those trucks but from my good buddy Bubbles from the great white north, I do know they work well as a beer hauler
After I welded my oil pump nut on my S50, it was the oil pump housing bolts that backed out. Luckily I caught it while it still had some oil pressure.
Would love to see the truck used as a merch truck, with a nice Oakes Garage livery on it !!!
Some Work Equip 03’s or SSR Reverse Mesh would look Dope on the HiJet.
Fre Day this
Not sure if you’re keeping the stock wheels for very long or not. But if you are, spray them with a few layers of clear coat and they’ll stay nice for even longer, they sure turned out really clean.
RJ: I'm just here for the free snacks
😂
I love FCPEURO super fast shipping great prices and that no questions lifetime warranty on EVERYTHING!! Can't beat it!
Cleanest Kei truck 👏🏽
Holy hell get a gimbal for your phone… y’all gotta represent the Nutmeg state!
Time gets tough just you’ll make it trough man
Nice electrical work!!
I did expect you to paint the wheels wrinkle black, so was very surprised that you went for the grey / silver :p
The 4 star ball is littttttt
RJ should get his own truck.....maybe this one!
Cool man... Love little nugget pickup
One of these just popped on Craigslist near me 1996 same spec with a/c. 5,300 in the middle of illinois
Steve K 5k? Damn
Love the mini truck content. RJ you better daily it after you guys turbo it.
Mini-Truck has become an expensive workbench on wheels. :D
@ 2:50 Tommy F-yeah is KAAAA-Ringe-ing hard.
Get a ultra sonic cleaner!! Shits so satisfying, and the harbor freight ones put in workk
OEM + on the radio install. Nice 👍
