It's so interesting to see you talk about the kei van, as I currently live in japan and drive them all the time! So much fun! Thanks for the video and I will definitely think about the accounting side!!
That’s cool!! I learned about a “25-year rule” where vehicles can’t be imported to the US until they are 25+ yrs old. I’m having fun with it. Thanks for watching!
Wow, I haven’t seen any of your videos in a long time. I was wondering if y’all were still around. Glad you are and your little cutie has really grown a lot! Congratulations on your van purchase!
Love my kei van. Just so you know they live best in the high rpm’s. That’s how you get any power out. Also the ac will about half your already tiny amount of power. 😂😂😂 but they are so fun! Can you believe I am 6 foot tall and 350 pounds and daily drive mine for the last year. Poor little van 😅
2:45 - I love the look of that gray Hijet mini truck. That's what I hope my Hijet will look like after I give it a Medium Quartz Gray Monstaliner polyurethane bed liner paint job inside and out, hopefully this fall. The gray Hijet shown in the video was apparently painted gray using automotive paint and not bed liner, and it was only painted on the outside with the inside still white. I love my Hijet 4WD mini truck, and even though I still have probably 70% of the upgrades to do on my mini truck, I'm getting an obsessive desire for a 4WD Hijet kei van. I can't even come close to justifying it, but I want it. Badly.
Dude, love this vid! Been meaning to go by JDM as they have sick cars! Been eyeing the K dump trucks lately. Your van is dope! FYI, its common for insurance polices to deny coverage if you are renting out your vehicle....if you are serious about doing that, get a policy that allows it.
@@gameovergang2934 - GEICO wouldn't insure my Hijet kei truck so I switched to Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance... and saved some money in the deal. I'm no longer paying for millions of dollars in gecko spokeslizard ads.
Wyatt, that thing is sick, man. I want one now. I'm an 80's kid and all I can think about is an A-Team paint job. I need that Rewilded Reselling money first though. Congrats, brother.
,these were really popular when i was a kid.. i am 57 next week..in australia... i have been in the states since 2008. there is a guy not far from in in ca that has like 3 of them.. i always wanted one... so fun'
They’re unique and so fun to drive. I love the fact that if you take a drive anywhere in the US you’re most likely not going to see one, so it’s fun to own one.😁
@@sippywyatt - My 4WD Hijet is geared so low, so it can start on a hill with a heavy load without stalling, so when it's empty on flat or downhill slopes I can start in 2nd gear. I'll sometimes roll a stop in a parking lot and never quite come to a complete stop so I don't need first gear. My Hijet has the HI/LO transfer case. In low range, idling in first gear is so slow it's nearly unstallable and I can walk faster than the truck is rolling. Wound out, it's maybe going 5 MPH. Even in the high range that I use for driving on road, I'm shifting into third gear before I've cleared an intersection at a traffic light. My Hijet is a 5 speed so it'll go 70 MPH, although I usually drive it on larger secondary roads at around 60 MPH.
Loved the video man. Great to see your longform work again. Can definitely see how the shorter videos have helped your storytelling. Can't wait to see what you do to the van
@@sippywyatt really diggin the channel man. You take ur content seriously, but you aren’t over the top “RUclipsr” if that makes sense…anyway keep it going man!
@@sippywyatt Korea now. When I lived in Japan, I had many cars but my favorites was my 99 Suzuki Wagon R because the size and the back seats folded flat. Then I sold it and bought a 99 Diahatsu Move Turbo. It was zippy but the back seats didn't fold flat.
Don’t forget to hit the 👍 and also… I would appreciate any/all tips about owning a Kei van!👇
Albino I dare you to try flip it over 😊

Kei is the way!!!! Nice pickup
I like that!! You’re right!
Awesome van Wyatt! I have to admit that I was yelling “shift” through my phone a few times😂
😂😂that test drive was rough!! I’m doing better with driving it now LOL!
😂😂😂

Aw thanks!! Yes, I actually more videos now than I used to, they’re just all short videos! Thanks for watching!
That looks so cool i’ll definitely follow you so I can see the journey.
I appreciate it!
Got yourself a new subscriber. The van is so cool man!
I appreciate it a lot! Glad you enjoyed!

LOL!! Yeah when I get up to about 60-65mph it sounds so loud.😂

Is their a way to change the language to English on the Panasonic tv in the k van???
🤷♂️
By the way I subscribed cool to see my area on RUclips.
Awesome, I appreciate it!!

I actually already got insurance! It wasn’t too bad, but you’re right… some agencies don’t even entertain it.
Thanks for watching!
@@sippywyatt what company?
@@gameovergang2934 - GEICO wouldn't insure my Hijet kei truck so I switched to Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance... and saved some money in the deal. I'm no longer paying for millions of dollars in gecko spokeslizard ads.
@@gameovergang2934it’s called Berry Insurance Group, but I believe it’s just a single-location and it’s in SC.
What is the bar for in the back seat that you see on some of the videos of these vans?
Maybe the back seat when it’s folded down.👍
I live local . do you still have van? Enjoying? I was looking to purchase the Kei Truck
Still have it! Driving it today LOL! I love it.
Please start making more full length RUclips videos again. Miss seeing y’all. I’m not a Inta or TicTock watcher
❤️

LOL I’m glad you like it! Driving them takes a little time to get the hang of, but it’s definitely a joy ride every time I use it.🚙
😂 When he said " RHD the shifter is in the middle" 😂 aren't all of them in the middle dude?
LOL you’re right… but doing it with your left hand is different.
Wow, it’s like Subaru e10 (Sumo)
I’ll have to look that up!
1:24 black car looks like late 60's early 70's corolla
We'll just great! I watch your latest "Reselling" video and now YT is filling up my feed with Kei can videos! LOL 😂
Those algorithms will hunt you down, won’t they!?😂

K-Car shifting can be done from 2nd gear.
Can you explain this?

I was literally at this exact dealer 1 week ago and I’m currently saving up for my own kei van I’m excited 😆
🔥
Yushiofactory t shirt cool
Om thinking about buying one of these things. But I'm 6ft tall am I to tall?
I’m 6ft!
Insaaaaane car lot
Bet you bought it in Ballentine SC I live in Prosperity Sc
Irmo is technically where the dealership is (I think), but yes!
Transform it
YES!! In time I will.🙌
I’m so excited for this video!
Are they street legal? A lot of Japanese cars are not legal in isa
Depends on which state you’re in… here in SC they are. I’ve heard some states don’t allow it.
Gread video. Do they have those in automatic?
I believe they do. From what I learned, I think the automatics don’t go quite as fast..? However, mine only goes about 65mph,so not much better.😂
What is the top speed
Well, not sure of the top speed, but 65mph is about the most you can comfortably drive it for longer distances lol!
@@sippywyatt still makes me want one lol
@@Steve-OResellsI understand!!
I wish there was a dealership like this in Quebec
Yall must be tiny people. You look "normal" sitting in it. Im also in the market for one, but at 6'1" I tower over the thing.
I’m 6’0”. Could just be camera angle.
Bro I was just watching a short on instagram of your van and my phone died before I followed thought I lost your account😂
LOL glad you found it!!🙌
Just starting this video and I'm already hoping you use the truck to go garage sailing
Loved the video man. Great to see your longform work again. Can definitely see how the shorter videos have helped your storytelling. Can't wait to see what you do to the van
Bro you know what’s up!!
I appreciate the kind words man! Thanks for supporting.🔥
Congratulations!! It’s really cool!😁👍
Thank you!!
Wow, I didn’t know there was an Acty van! I need one!
They’re so fun!! I love the trucks, but the van is more functional for what I do (thrifting, reselling, etc.). I needed the inside storage.
awesome.
Thanks!
I wanna get a sambar! The Honda is sick too
Sambars are dope!! Daihatsu makes some neat looking ones as well. Thanks!!
@@sippywyatt really diggin the channel man. You take ur content seriously, but you aren’t over the top “RUclipsr” if that makes sense…anyway keep it going man!
@@TheMistakeOnTheLake1I appreciate the compliment!
Fun!
The talk of the subdivision I live in.😂
Wish I knew about this place when I lived in Sumter..
Where do you live now?
