    Mayberry mini trucks sell air filters for 20.00 a piece. I just bought a mini truck from them and got 5 extra ones to have. Everything else he said can be cross referenced. Thanks!

    The number one thing I would absolutely do without question, replace your timing belt and water pump. Unless you can find evidence (usually a label) that it's been done in the last 3 or so years. It should have been replaced at 100k KM or 7 years. It's the most likely failure (most catastrophic) you will encounter along with the fuel pump. Also, Replace as many of the vacuum lines in and around the carburetor and fuel lines attached to the fuel tank. This will avoid MANY problems in the future. I just sold my 2wd Daihatsu Super Jumbo. After I went through mine, I drove it everyday to work and it was 100% reliable. Good Luck!

    Should have used kayak handles.
    A lot of kayak accessories would work on this truck too.
    Gear tracks
    Pad Eyes
    Hooks
    Bungees
    Lashing straps
    Soft roof racks

    Very nice! My 97 Carry is to go the port early June. Can you show those Miata wheels a bit more in the next video? And maybe share where you picked them up from? That’s a great idea and an option I’m considering now.

    • @DentedFenderGarage

      I’ll see if I can show more, I did have to modify them to fit, but it wasn’t hard.

    The Miata wheels turned out great! Subway RIng?

    • @DentedFenderGarage
      @DentedFenderGarage  Год назад

      In Japan cars guys used to steal subway rings and attach them to their rear tow points and their car was finally “low enough” when the ring would rub the ground and break. Now it has become a part of JDM car culture.

    Good video! What size tires are you running with those wheels?

      @DentedFenderGarage  11 месяцев назад +1

      Those were 165/65-14. Currently on 13” BBS wheels and about to go back to 14s with another tire size.

      Feels same as stock but there is front hub center clearance that you can either file away or use a small spacer

    Hey man! just wondering, how's the performance with the 14 inch rims on? we have the same kei truck model

    • @DentedFenderGarage
      @DentedFenderGarage  Год назад

      The ride is smoother. As you probably realize, these trucks are geared very low so a taller tire would usually hurt low end performance, but the low gearing makes it work.

    • @philipreasons3298
      @philipreasons3298 9 месяцев назад

      Rim size doesn’t matter much.
      It is the outside diameter of the tire that effects overall gear ratio .

    Mate, you just need to petition your congress (or maybe senate, not sure but I think congress would be better), so that all cars in the U.S. drive on the left hand side of the road, which is the the right side of the road and not on the right hand side, which is the wrong side. Frombie 10:48
