We need this kit in Japan! Super cool.
So you had a spring compressor but you tried zip ties first?
I think his mom dropped him on his head
Lol I said the same ,he wasted about 100 zip ties lol
It won’t fit on the strut with the compressor
I loved this build but holy shit I couldn’t believe he admitted that on video
Great video. I'm getting a Harley Rose lift kit for my 1996 4WD Hijet to avoid some of the hassles of piecing together a lift kit from scratch. Thank you for trimming the springs to length. I've seen too many Hijet progressive spring installations where the tighter coils are completely compressed so they're reducing the spring's ability to absorb energy. After a 2" lift, I'll probably add 23" tires for a little better off road performance, but I'll get DOT rated tires for road use, and narrow enough that the bed sides don't rub when folded down.
I would think installing larger tires that are DOT rated would be a good idea.
@@2000freefuel - I'm not huge on certifications and regulatory agencies, but I would get DOT rated tires because almost all of my Hijet driving is on the road, and often at 60+ MPH. The issue with the larger diameter tires is gear ratio. Larger tires increase the effective gear ratio. The gear ratios were designed for the 23" tires. Larger trucks can have larger tires than the factory installed because they have the horsepower to utilize the larger gear ratio. On a 25+ year old mini truck, we probably have around 30-35 HP. Installing 25" tires increases the effective gear ratio enough that the engine doesn't have enough power to rev high enough to make full power in the highest gear. This becomes clearer if you look at the engine's HP vs RPM curve and then imagine the power requirement to overcome aerodynamic drag increasing with the square of the velocity (which is directly proportional to RPM). The engine output power curve crosses the aerodynamic drag curve before the engine produces peak power.
If imagining the math doesn't work, imagine getting on a mountain bike and trying to ride up a steep hill in the highest gear. You don't make enough power to push that higher gear.
The larger tires look a lot better IMO but I'd only install larger tires if I was using the truck exclusively off road, and maybe not even then. These little trucks do surprisingly well off road, other than deep ruts or tall obstacles. The small tires and limited articulation make kei trucks lousy rock crawlers, but if the rocks, roots and ruts are 6" or less, these lightweight little trucks are great climbers.
@@Liberty4Ever I'd try to find the closest common tire that can be made to fit.
@@2000freefuel - I bought a set of for Yokohama Geolander tires for my Hijet but haven't installed them yet. They were very reasonably priced and they shipped UPS Air from Japan for $370.58 delivered. That's $92.65 per tire. I wanted a set of five tires so I could change the spare and start anew for the truck's second life in the US but that 5th tire was going to cost an additional $202. The shipping jumped to a different tier. I think I can buy the same tire in the US for $149 delivered.
damn you didnt have to adjust the camber or anything, that's dope
軽トラはタイヤこそ小径だが車体サイズとパワーはWWW2で重宝されたウィリスMBとほぼ同じで車重はむしろ軽い。だからラフロードの走破性が抜群なのをほとんどのアメリカ人は知らない。
Rachet straps are great for compressing springs
Ik this is an older video did you have any cv joint/axle/boot issues?? Wanna do this on my acty
Cool also put a block under the bed leaf spring for a little bit more lift
Add a leaf is a better option , blocks can sometimes cause wheel hop
Love and thank you for your video
Great job.....nice rims.
That ride is going to be so hard
If you lift the front by 2 inches does it change the wheel alignment? I have a Suzuki Scrum (Japanese) that needs to lift due to wheel rub. Its deopped 2 inches from original due to some changes. Wheel size original.
Do you recall the backspacing for the wheels?
I added ATV tires, but now my splash / mud guards are too narrow. All the mud flips up onto my sideview mirriors. Where can I get wider mudflaps?
Beautiful very interesting to imitate. Thanks for sharing.
so this truck is an s85? trying to figure out if these struts would work on my 97 s110p
Would ATV tires work on a 1994 Nissan truck 14 inch rims
That's a giant shackle , I think if it was mine I may have gone with a slightly shorter shackle and an add a leaf , that way you can get the benefit of a little more payload without sagging and the benefit of the lift without using such a long shackle
what was back spacing on your wheels? i went with 12s an 23x10x12 and they really rub on the front
Great video. Thank you! Did you adjust the camber after doing this, or is there no camber adjustment the Hijet? The fart at the end was funny!
Sir,Where can i buy those headlights? Thanks
Great vedio… what’s the sizes of the Rims
Driveshaft angle is definitely off ! , need to add spacers on the trans mount !
I doubt it's enough to bother it
Saved.
The timing belt video was so helpful thank you! Just bought a 97 Daihatsu Atrai (picking it up tomorrow) and couldn’t find much info about timing belt replacement. Would you happen to know what spark plugs the fuel injected engines take? I know the acty’s will take NGK BKR6E-11 and was curious if the fuel injected hi-jet/atrai will take the same ones? Thank you!
If you go to the Mini Truck Talk forum, I posted a PDF that I created last night with all of the Hijet data excerpted from the Daihatsu spark plug chart, including the Hijet Atrai. My goal was to spend a few hours to translate it from Japanese to English, including converting the Japanese date codes to western year and month instead of a calendar based on the reign of Japanese emperors, so English speaking Hijet owners can quickly scroll through and find Daihatsu's spark plug recommendations.
How much performance did you lose adding those tires?
Where do I see the inventory?
Great video. I'm going to do this to my hijet when it gets off the boat. Can I ask why you used the kyb struts over getting a new OEM set?
The kyb is a higher quality strut than OEM , Bilstein is another high quality option,
Zip ties , for spring compression, get a grip !

So no finishing shot of how the truck looks after its been lifted? 🤦♂
Yes, add a video of the finished product, please.
Hello can you link what size lug nuts you used?
Deez
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How fast can it go with this Tires? Did you get more mph?
Almost certainly less MPH. Larger wheels prevent the little 660 cc engine from revving out to reach the RPM needed for peak HP in high gear.
I get 120 mph easily but when I put my phone GPS at 100 km/h I'm only 45 mph, I think 🤔 it doesn't match mph and km/h
This is my Speed Test

Taller tires add top speed at the same RPM. A taller tire will have a larger overall circumference, causing it to need to travel more distance per revolution than the original equipment tire. You will loose acceleration but gain overall top end. Speedometer will also read slightly slower than actual speed.
Where do you buy these trucks?
We sell them if you would like one 😌
@@patrick67ss Where do I see the inventory?
Man I’m seeing a lot of room under the bed of that truck, at least potential room.. the entire spare tire carrier, that huge ass muffler, the battery housing. I mean what if we did a custom exhaust with no muffler, deleted the spare tire carrier, relocated the battery to a different location. How much room could we create underneath of these bad boys? I wonder if you could get like an old Toyota rear diff and an obscure lower displacement engine or something. It kind of feels like you could stuff something under there if you got creative. If not an older car/truck engine maybe a UTV or a snowmobile or a motorcycle or something. I’d like to see someone more skilled than me doing it first, it certainly feels plausible just because of how simple this truck is.
We know these behave normally with engines located more over the rear axle because some of them are positioned in that way, so it’s got to be possible.
I want you to tell me
I would like to know the bolt pattern and size of the wheel
pcd100??pcd101.6??
4x110
Did u use wheel adapters all i find are 1" did u have any rubbin issues@@jdmgems
nice
Wear kneepads. You'll thank me when you're 60, trust me.
Sure likes his zip ties
