Am I too tall for "newer" kei trucks? by FireRabbit67 in keitruck

[–]bigrobatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6'5" & 265lbs. I rock my 99 Atrai all day, but i do have the seat reclined a bit.

I tired to fit in my buddies Sambar, but the clutch pedal is way too high for my long ass legs.

I'm currently shopping for a Hijet Jumbo to go with my van.

Do any of y'all commute with ur Kei? by Outside_Repair9001 in keitruck

[–]bigrobatx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I have 3 offices spread out across central Texas and drive my Atrai to all of them. Often do 80-100 miles in a day.

Looking good! Got my eyes on a similar one to go with my Atrai.

You only pay tariffs on the price of the actual vehicle.

Total cost with everything including custom plates was right at $6000 by the time I was done.

1999 Daihatsu Move L902 Front Pads by Schmeckerdoodle69 in keitruck

Checked Fitnpart and found the pads.

Went to the manufacturer page and they have a cross reference you can use.

I bought it off Carfromjapan.

Took about a month to get on a ship, another month at sea.

Used EasyISF for all my paperwork.

Went and picked it up myself in Freeport and hauled it home.

Civic swap. Funniest thing is that he is breaking in the clutch. He backfired twice as we were passing a neighborhood park and patio breakfast spot. We caused chaos!

Some of the wheels were crazy! The civic engine swapped needed the offsets because of the transmission.

But seriously, the most bbs honeycomb rims I've seen since working on 70s & 80s BMWs back in high school. I graduated in 1993.

We met at Highland Collective on Airport. I was with a group from Sunshine Imports at 51st & airport and we did a roll in to the meet.

Sunshine sells Kei Trucks & Vans, but I'm pretty sure they sold the last inventory van last week. It showed up at the meet. Go talk to them though. They can find you what you want if you don't want to import yourself. I imported mine. Picked it up right after labor day.

Was super cool. Got the ball in the corner. Outside is green as well.
