4x4 KEI TRUCK off road trails and camping in our Honda Acty JDM mini truck

  • Our Japanese mini truck is like a UTV / SXS and Jeep combined to make the perfect small JDM off roader. We explore 4wd trails and mountain dirt roads searching for rivers to swim in and a remote camp spot. Our Kei truck is a Honda Acty Attack with ultra low gears and a locking rear differential. It has a 2" lift and 13" Forceum M/T tires.

    Honestly Japan making trucks this small yet capable makes sense. Japan is a super mountainous country with many rural areas while at the same time many of the densest cities and tightest streets in the world.

    As a Japanese, I feel proud when I see big Americans having so much fun using mini trucks.
    I hear that there are many people in the United States who enjoy importing used mini trucks from Japan because they have a small engine displacement, low fuel consumption, and even if there is a tax, they are cheap.

      After over a year of researching these trucks, I just bought my first one (a Honda Acty). It will be our farm call truck for my vet clinic. It should arrive in from Japan in February or March.

    These mini trucks are incredible, we have a 2013 Daihatsu Hijet 4x4 in the Dominican Republic where many roads are rocky or pot holed. The truck is super tough and dependable and gets through tight spots, i rarely engage 4x4 but using it means i’ve never got stuck. I’m hoping i can find some aggressive tires here, seen some yokohama super diggers that will fit on without lifting. You’re right about the advantages of being small, a Raptor might be massively capable, but it’s useless if i doesn’t fit through 😂. Good channel. Cheers

      I had to wait three excruciating months after purchasing my Hijet for it to arrive in Newport News. I picked it up a little over a week ago. It needs a new clutch so I'm dealing with that while doing piddly little repairs and upgrades. Looking forward to having it on the road. Importing a kei truck is not for the impatient. On the plus side, when your Acty arrives, it'll be almost spring so you can enjoy it. Short winter days and cold weather are keeping me from getting much done on my long Hijet list.
      I heard a rumor that the Tacoma port is going to insist that every importer uses an import broker. Too many of you crazy guys showing up for a kei truck? :-)

      They are a lot of fun and really useful! Test drive a few different models if you can, they are all pretty good but definitely have a different feel through the range pf manufacturers. If you are planning on using it off-road often then I would recommend trying to find one with a locking rear differential as well. Good luck! 👍

      The benefit of a locking differential is that one wheel can continue to rotate when the other is suspended?

    • @OlympicOverland
      @OlympicOverland  Год назад +2

      @@shivesja hi Janelle, yes with the diff lock on, both rear wheels have direct power. On a standard open differential if a wheel lifts or loses traction it will just spin and stop power delivery to the opposite wheel.

      Thanks for watching Nicholas! I agree, harnesses are a better solution for sure. When I have had to use a standard leash we keep them tethered to the window rack at a length short enough to not allow them to fall over the bed rails but a harness is ideal. 👍

    As I reside in Port Orchard (South of Bremerton), I am possibly looking into purchasing either a HONDA ACTY ATTACK, or a MAZDA SCRUM (Built by Daihatsu I beleive).
    Have you heard from anyone with a SCRUM regarding it's "Performance/Reliability"?
    Minimal Highway use is intended, but the Utility and Practicality (Yard Waste removal, gravel and Dump Runs) is prime for me...

    • @OlympicOverland
      @OlympicOverland  Год назад +1

      Hi, the Acty is great and ours has been really useful. The SDX version has a 5 speed vs the Attacks lower gearing and 4 speed but you get a rear locking differential on the Attack model. The Mazda Scrum is a great truck too and I’m pretty sure it’s built by Suzuki so it’s basically a Carry. My brother owns a Suzuki Carry and really likes it. They are both very good trucks, I would recommend driving them both and choosing the one that feels best to you, get one with a locking diff if you will be using it off-road often. 👍

    • @randallthomas5207
      @randallthomas5207 Год назад +2

      A couple of suggestions in looking for a Kei class truck. Get dump, or scissors lift-dump version. It is lots easier to work on, because you tip, the bed and remove one plate, and you have full, unobstructed access to the engine and transmission.
      Look for one with a locking rear axle. It is not a feature all of them have.
      I highly recommend not looking at the Scrum, because it is far easier to find parts for it’s brother, the Suzuki Carry if you need them. There weren’t that many Scrums in Japan, and even less get imported. So, they are hard to get parts for.
      The Hondas and Subarus have some parts interchangeability with smaller cars which were imported, and you can sometimes use the car parts on the Hondas and Subies.
      I like my Hijet, and i bought it not because I think the Hijets are superior, but becasue I found one with all the options I wanted, sooner than I found any other minitruck.. I definitely wanted the dump bed and was looking for a dumper, when the “pick tipper” showed up an w web page of a Japanese company which generally sells shipping containers of eight truck to dealers. I emailed them, and asked for contact information to who in the US was getting it. We emailed back and forth for a few weeks until it actually made it off the ship, and he got the container. Two weeks later the truck was delivered to my driveway.

    • @OlympicOverland
      @OlympicOverland  Год назад +1

      So the Acty has independent suspension all the way around but it has a large rear suspension bar across the back that ties everything in at the leaf springs and in the right situations can look just like a straight axle. It’s an interesting setup and I will probably show it in a walk around video about the truck sometime. My brother Mike’s Suzuki Carry has a straight axle. These trucks are sprung pretty stiff so it’s hard to tell if either one actually rides better than the other but the Honda is mid engine so maybe that helps a little 😂

    • @OlympicOverland
      @OlympicOverland  Год назад +1

      The tires are great and I do recommend them. Forceum MT’s are stout 8 ply tire but do have some road noise like most mud terrain tires but it’s not bad and the traction is incredible. The rims are from an early 90’s Honda Civic and are a 4x100 lug pattern. The offset is correct so they fit on my truck without wheel spacers. I think Sambar’s up to 1999 had a 4x100 pattern as well but I’m not sure what offset Subaru used so you may want to double check your truck. Sambar’s are awesome, the push button 4wd and low 1st are nice. Thanks for watching! I am editing another camping video so should have it posted soon.

      The Attack’s are awesome! In this video I still have the stock exhaust but in the last 2 videos I’ve posted I am using the Wiruswin stainless Acty exhaust. I bought mine from AllthingzJDM because he buys a batch occasionally and ships them from Japan. I’ve also seen them on eBay from time to time. They are about $300 with shipping but it’s made in Japan and welds/quality are very nice. It’s loud but comes with a diffuser that I recently added and that is great for daily driving. The exhaust flange is thicker than stock so I drilled the original studs out and replaced with longer stainless hardware. I think some people just run it with only a few threads holding on the stock studs but I didn’t trust it. Maybe some Acty’s have longer exhaust studs? There is also a air intake heat tube that that comes off of the stock exhaust. Some people say it’s to help with carb icing issues but I just connected both ends together with silicone tube and haven’t had any problems, I’ve also never heard of anyone else running an aftermarket exhaust on the Acty having intake icing issues either. I will probably do a walk around video of the truck soon and can include the exhaust in that video for you. Cheers man and thanks for watching!

      Hi Dave, I put the lift on before mounting the tires so never ran them with my Attack at stock height. I don’t think you would have any issues in the back but up front might rub slightly? The diameter of the Forceum MT08’s is really close to 23” so hopefully that helps. The best price that I’ve found the Forceum tires so far is on eBay. Let me know if you have any other questions but they are a great tire with stout sidewall and off-road traction is really good.
