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.
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!"
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
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
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.
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 💯🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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
You should get a spray in bedliner for that thing it be sick by the way this and the video picking up the mini pickup are my all time favorite videos you did
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 just saying that speaker you Installed with it pointed at the dash like that you will loose alot of the sound as it's being projected into your dash
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.
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.
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!
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

“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

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°

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

I've had too many busted hands to not flinch every time I see that happen
@@Onewheelordeal how many hands do you have!?
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?.

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
engine refreshes are one of my favorite things on youtube.
Respect for not cutting up the harness man i guilty of doing both lol

Dean Cruz what car?
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 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Jimmy and B are never not smiling. Its awesome.
I have the exact same mini-truck, if you pull the door panels off there are cutouts for 4" speakers ready to go
index cards work great to stick between the rim and tire for painting
👍
White te37-v’s would look FIRE on the kei truck!
“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
What a perfect throw with that gasket hahah you guys have fun in that shop for sure.. carefree getting it done
ATV tires should be on the mod list
This is my new favorite build. I love the vibe hahaha
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

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
Hall and Oakes body and performance strikes again!
Mad respect for not cutting factory wiring
I recommend using acetone for any part cleaning dissolves really fast so perfect even for like cam caps or internals !!
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.
I like when you just film yourself workin on stuff, hustlin to get content out
Last time I was this early, his drift car had a roof.
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

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
Hey Jimmy, checkout headrest speakers for the mini-truck! Good sound and it will save space!
There is no better workbench than a mini truck!!!!!!
That DragonBall shifter is DOOOOOOOOPE in the truck!
Slam it on tarmacs!!! Can’t wait to see what guys do with this thing, so dope!!!
Big love for that Husaberg
Anime stickers on the mini truck ASAP 😂😂💪💪💪💪💪
There are holes for 4-inch speakers in the doors, and the cutouts in the door panels.
Good trick for painting wheels is putting 4x6 note cards between the lip and tire instead of masking
Some Work Equip 03’s or SSR Reverse Mesh would look Dope on the HiJet.
Fre Day this
You should get a spray in bedliner for that thing it be sick by the way this and the video picking up the mini pickup are my all time favorite videos you did
I love that shift knob
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.
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
The radio part was a whole vibe 👌🏻
Hey Jimmy just saying that speaker you Installed with it pointed at the dash like that you will loose alot of the sound as it's being projected into your dash
Be sick to see it sitting on some 13x7 jdm wheels
You can use a battery and make the speaker “pop” or check ohms across two wires. All this assuming there’s no amp
A lil 9 volt will push the cone out or in depending on polarity.
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.
Issa kei truck! Looking forward for this build
the dragon ball shift nob is the best...i like the little truck!
I was shocked to hear how good that speaker sound
Extend the speaker wire so when your chilling outside the minitruck you could have music it's a marine speaker so its waterproof
Smooth Jams with Jimmy!!
Shoutout to that no prep paint job

Would love to see the truck used as a merch truck, with a nice Oakes Garage livery on it !!!
Get a ultra sonic cleaner!! Shits so satisfying, and the harbor freight ones put in workk
The 4 star ball is littttttt
Very nice buddy….it looks awesome!
Honda Grom in the back of the truck would be dope 👌

You have to get some 90's dayton wire rims for the JDM truck lol
Exactly some 100 spoke daytons and some candy paint
@@jeffreis5194 exactly this
careful torquing down that valve cover lmao. Had to use a heli coil to fix one of the valve cover bolts ;/ upgraded my m54 VC to a M56 Alumnium VC
Next time you paint wheels use a deck of cards they work great slide in behind rim lip. Definitely a improvement with just little paint.🖒
Those wheels are so hot now! 🔥🔥🔥
Holy hell get a gimbal for your phone… y’all gotta represent the Nutmeg state!
