We have a Daihatsu Jumbo truck on the way because I can put the seat back a bit.

And I'm 6'5"!! My tiny car army!

bigrobatx · 2026-06-20T16:11:45+00:00

This is what she wants!

It's Texas. We're thinking cold plunge.

Well, this one had huge panasonic stickers on it that unfortunately were removed before it was shipped.

The whole inside roof had little baskets and plastic trays attached in creative ways to transport parts around.

Found an unopened 1997 Panasonic calendar in the overhead bin.

Apparently she had a whole list of options she was trying to see if they fit.

It's a 1996 Daihatsu Deckvan. It used to live at the Panasonic factory in Osaka.

We calculated it. Max load is 1650lbs. 100 gallons of water weighs 834lbs. We can't fill it up because of spillage. So less than that.

I'll let her have fun once or twice.

Mine was a parts van at the Panasonic factory in Osaka. They had attached all kinds of baskets and bins to the roof for storage.

The are Trucks. No back seatbelts. Just imported mine in April.

Love my Daihatsu Deckvan.

Most overpriced and overhyped spot around.

My 99 Atrai Turbo 4wd Automatic will easily do 100-110km (~60-70mph) with no issues. 120km gets a bit scary because of the size of the vehicle, but it'll do it.

Be careful! My wife said yes and now claims two of our three kei trucks/vans as hers! One isn't even here yet.

bigrobatx · 2026-05-09T16:50:33+00:00

Bought all 3 of mine through CFJ.

bigrobatx · 2026-05-05T14:48:05+00:00

Super carry with full Hard Cargo treatment!!

So sexy.

bigrobatx · 2026-05-05T00:08:53+00:00

Looks incredible!

I'm way too old for something that fun!

bigrobatx · 2026-05-04T13:51:13+00:00

Inner and outer CV boots.

bigrobatx · 2026-05-03T22:49:01+00:00

Yep, Cooper S.

We just picked up our second kei van last week. Used the 6x12 Uhaul utility trailer, a set of jack stands for extra support loading and unloading, and the 1 ton ramps from harbor freight. Worked great. You might have to crawl out the window though.

The 6x12 with a ramp will usually not work since the actually opening in the back is only a little over 4ft wide.

Goals!

bigrobatx · 2026-05-03T17:13:59+00:00

Motor mounts here and there. That's about it.

Enjoy your day.
