I've been watching your channel for a couple weeks now and just realized you only have 360 subscribers, well here's 361, love k swap I'm hoping to get a kei truck in the future.
Hey there! Thanks so much for subscribing! We are fairly new to having a RUclips channel and are about a month in. We are excited to hear that you are enjoying the videos and look forward to keeping them coming!
I received the 1/8" thick sheet of aluminum for my Hijet's custom battery cover today. The machining will be a lot simpler than the cool Japanese rising sun on your battery cover. I'm making the battery cover tall enough to hide and secure the battery but short enough that I can get jumper cables on the posts. I may powder coat the battery cover, but I'll probably just Monstaliner it with the rest of the truck which will have the tough bed liner inside and out. The Hijet is a fun project but I've been waiting over a month for clutch parts from Japan.
i got a 90 2wd 4 speed with ac its beat up good. im 6'5" 350 im too big for it i just kinda fit but the issue is my size 18 foot. i cant it the brakes without hitting on the high beams. part of me wants to sell the truck now that its rego in indy but part of me wants to keep it and drive the hell out of it.
My size 13 boots are a struggle in my new-to-me Hijet mini truck. There is a foot movement sequence I need to do when getting in and out. The Hijet has plenty of headroom (I'm 6'2") but it feels like I'm wearing the mini truck.
Hey there I saw the previous video were you got the enkeis and I had a question about your fitment with the tires Does it rub? I have 14x6 +35 offset and it's so much closer then the 14x7 +19 on your acty
@@insaneimports_official ahh that makes sense. Would swapping the engine make it safer for use on the highway? Like was theirs able to drive on the highway?
I don’t have a good answer besides drive on highway at your own risk. I’ve done it dozens of times but avoid it when possible. The thing is small and the wind from semi trucks rocks it around a bit. There is nothing in the front end to protect you in a crash.
greeting-unreal done-Insane-:)
Thank you 😁
Gold and white, there is no accounting for taste as they say :)
It definitely has to stay 🥰
Mini Truck❤❤❤

White wall tires would probably look awesome
Yep I bet they would 🤔
So much fun. Ready for level 2!!!!

Sounds like a good idea! I happened to find my cover in stock with a company called FLP Parts. 👍
Cool
It was a great time! 😁
Love it

Nope! Went right on.

Thanks! Been working on cars since I was 16 and powder coating for about 4 or 5 years.

Hello friend! Thanks for subscribing and commenting. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the channel and look forward to keeping this thing going. 😁 🍻
Can you not drive it on the highway or just didn't want to? Great build tho!
It can be driven on the highway but it’s sketchy and tops out at like 65. It was a 3 hour drive so trailering was the best option. 😁
@@insaneimports_official ahh that makes sense. Would swapping the engine make it safer for use on the highway? Like was theirs able to drive on the highway?
Not necessarily going to make it safer but will certainly be faster 👍
@@insaneimports_official is there any way to make it highway safe? XD

A removable bed cover the color of the body imho would really look bitching.
Yeah it would!
