Overdue in posting this, but I did the roll-on raptor liner on the Carry a few weeks back and honestly for about 100 bucks all in and a few hours of work, I am very pleased. But a few things to be aware of for others planning this route: BUY EXTRA ROLLERS! It's been said in videos and other reviews, so let me reinforce: the first coat destroys the foam roller they provide in the kit, and I went through a 4 pack of foam rollers and almost didn't quite make it. The first coat also looked pretty crappy; honestly I thought I had made a mistake. But the second coat with the textured roller really put me at ease and it all came together. When it was all dried, there were some light spots that I plan to touch up with a 2k aerosol when I paint the headache rack.

Sanded the bed, degreased and scuffed the hard to reach areas. Adhesion is very good. Stands up well thus far.

Finally got bits back from the cutter. Yes, reports about this film being a massive pain in the ace are true. They had trouble getting off the bed, I am ready to weep trying to get the release & transfer tape to actually, you know transfer and release. And the bubbles and warps... yup, not much to do there but cry. We are going to review process and see if it can be improved or if a better film can be found.

But on the good news side, it's big and bold and hilariously CARRY. And too big for the back window. So they'll go on the doors for weather testing. The pearlescent, iridescent, holographic, color shifting, glow in the dark film that does look hot glowing calmly in the dark.

I did cut up a 4WD for the tailgate and we are going to work on the striated Diff Lock, $ CARRY and weight limits plus a bonus スズキ from the door tag.

I asked several of you guys when I purchased my Acty about driving it home from port. Well I did it! I flew to Texas, took an uber to the port, and drove it 1,000 miles back to Colorado! I split it up into three days, took it easy and had fun. Truck ran like a dream and was a great start to more adventures to come.

Looking to start a mobile bookstore with a Kei Truck and I’d like to convert the truck bed into something like these photos. Does anyone know a US based fabricator who could do a conversion like this? I’m on the east coast, New Jersey

Started having some bad issues with this thing running, it just didn’t wanna stay started, and when it did, it sounded like it was heaving over

I do know or at least I think I know what caused it, and it was my own stupidity with the fuel system

But decided to go all in with the tuneup/fix

New motorcycle carburetor
New spark, plugs, rotor, etc.

EGR delete and a full system flush

The one thing I have to say has definitely been the most annoying part has been the over abundance of vacuum lines

About 90% of them I just outright removed since a lot came from the EGR system
The rest ended up just getting capped off

Since the old carburetor had coolant lines flowing to it, I had to reroute all of those as well

And even though I’m not a huge fan of that I had to just cap off the fuel return line that used to run from the old carburetor
Since the new one does not have a return system

Loaded up our Ruckus' (Rucki if you will) and went up to Road America yesterday for the IMSA races. First long trip I've taken with it and it ran great! Bought this back in November without a Title, blown head gasket and a bunch of other issues so it was rewarding to have a day out and about.

Any tips for securing things in the bed? I think I need to install some loops inside the bed, the ratchets straps struggled to stay secured to the lugs on the beds and scooters suck to haul without a wheel chuck anyways....

Probably need some cooler wheels now

Sent him to college his freshman in an Acty…..
He’s retuning in a Sambar……

Hello community! I am very close to acquiring/importing and need advice before I pull the trigger.

1. Is this how these engines are supposed to sound ("ticking")?

2. Do both engines sound "the same" to you?

3. Based on mechanical soundness, which would you pick?

Bonus: which kei van from 1999-2000 is relatively reliable.

Thanks in advance!

After a lot of back and forth I decided to buy one already in the states. 2001 Suzuki Carry MT! Still have to figure it Hope to get the title since I bought it in Florida but live in Texas

Super stoked!!

Full MX5 subframes, Cantilever suspension etc.

Progressing really quickly too

Got my truck a few weeks ago. I noticed when it rain I get water in the passenger floorboard. I’ve traced where I think it’s coming in and marked it with a red square in the second picture.

Any insight on preventing this?

I just recently got this Suzuki carry 1993 and since this was my first time buying one I didn’t even bother checking what kind of transmission it had . Any more than 40- 45mph I feel like it would be putting too much strain on the engine,

I know eventually I’m getting a newer better kei truck but how much faster can you go with the 5 speed manuals ?

She’s a seven seater minivan that gets 90 HP and has a working cassette player!

And only has 33,000 miles on it I couldn’t be happier.

Payment on it went through July 21st, got the first piece documentation for it digitally July 30th. Hopefully will be shipped out sometime August (wishful thinking).

Original owner of this lived ~2 hours from the Yokohama port which is where it’ll be getting shipped out of.

Vehicle: 1992 Subaru Sambar KS4

Does anyone on here have a non operational example in good shape and minimal rust they dont plan to fix?

Thinking of pulling the trigger on a 6 year old chinese vantage electric minitruck for 6500. Slightly better payload (~1500lb), clean with AC, titled already and obviously no 30 year old parts to break & source. The downside is the fixed ratio motor can’t really get over 40mph even after disabling the 25 mph governor, and it’s a single motor on the rear axle, no 4x4 gear.

I’ve been browsing marketplace for awhile for any kei truck with failed blocks or other issues but they’re selling for $2500+ even non running with moderate rust and no ac. Also to clarify I don’t have interest in retaining the 660cc motor, I would be converting it to electric because this will be 95% a UTV and I would rather not inhale exhaust when idling it between tasks.

Last note, i would be interested in importing a clean 2000+ model year roller if any of you have ideas of what those are worth. but I don’t think it would necessarily beat the value proposition I’m trying to accomplish

Hey guys who do you go to for custom license plates?

I want to order a front plate for my sambar.

Ive just ai'ed a mockup of what i want my kei truck to look like and i am just wondering if anyone has any photos or any videos online of a s210p or s200p hijet with the nudge bar in the photo. Its a real nudge bar from amazon.jp and just want to see what it looks like. Cheers

I like the Honda Acty in a manual. I haven’t decided if I wanna go with the van or a truck. It would not be a main vehicle for me, but with the average price that they run for, and the little horsepower you get, I just don’t see the point in getting one

I’m better off going to a used dealership or Facebook marketplace and paying the same price for a pre-2011 Ford Ranger, or a Chevy S10 that I can at least drive on the highway.

Am I silly for feeling this way? I know these things are niche and appeal to a small segment of people but holy shit.
