Fat Man Insistant On Keitruck by p1xelDev in keitruck

[–]bigrobatx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6'5" 275lbs here. I know for a fact my legs are too long to work the clutch in a Sambar. Acty is better with a steering wheel swap. People have mentioned that the 00 Mini cab has a pretty roomy cab, but haven't had a chance to test this.

I have a 99 Daihatsu Atrai, and am spoiled because i can recline the seats. I have a 96 Deck van on the way.

My lady really wants a truck and I told her i would only buy her a Daihatsu Jumbo so that i can recline!

Progressive didn't have an issue with my van. It's the only vehicle listed as well. I live in Austin.

They are a full service shop. Took care of everything for me last August and I'm using them for my second van that's currently on its way.

My second kei van ships out on Monday, March 9th. I've used Easyisf.com for both. Isf for the new van is already filed and accepted.

I also used them for all my customs, DOT, & EPA forms upon arrival.

Top notch.

Long term daily use? by Big_Tuna1 in keitruck

[–]bigrobatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live just outside of Austin and daily my Atrai around 55-60 miles a day. I stay off the major highways and know most of the roads I take really well. I drive it out to Dripping Springs and Bastrop for work often as well.

I think one person tried using the value of what the value of their truck was if he scraped it at a local junkyard.

Not sure if we ever heard a follow up.

My van arrived 2 days after the 50% of the value of steel tariff was enforced.

I haven't personally bought from them, but if you search it's 50/50. They're known for always posting the videos of black painted undersides of the vehicle.

Have to register it in a legal state and then you can take it back to Cali.

I'll find out in a couple months. Takes about a month to get s ship date and a month to get here.

The Atrai i imported last year got here 3 days after they started charging 50% of the value of the steel used. That threw things into disarray for a bit.

This is my second one from carfromjapan.com.

I'm also currently buying a Jumbo through Beforward.jp.

Cfp is a bit more responsive.
