Sir Sam Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I’ve been eyeing these for awhile, so after a disappointing trip checking out kubotas, I decide to buy a mini truck. Then I bought two. I bought a 1993 Subaru Sambar 4wd with 34,000 km and a 1995 Honda Acty with 35,000 km. Besides some basic maintenance like timing belts first thing planned is lift and bigger tires. One of them will get a plow. I’ll be doing a video series on importing and fixing up these trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are quality little work vehicles that just run and work. Sort of like a 4L xj/MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Quite a few of them running around this side of the border, a lot of them came over in the mid to late 2000’s. Cool little trucks, very popular among hobby farmers and “homesteaders” (for lack of a better word). Basically anywhere you’d want something akin to a comfortable ATV that you can take down the highway, or a little truck you can park anywhere.

FrankTheDog Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 4 or 5 speed manual on the column? That’s a genuine anti theft device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Local shop has about 6 of these on their lot. Thought of checking them out. Be sweet little farm truck for sure. I enjoyed driving them around the nurseries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff351 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 There are a few for sale near me at a farm & feed store. Interesting little things. My wife feels claustrophobic enough in the Comanche, I would never get her in one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyRodder Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Nice! Did you buy through the import guys? I wanted to get one of these for my dads property- but NY has a stick up their bum about the Kei trucks (and apparently cars). AC, diff locks, low range- perfect for his 45 acres! Ended up with another atv instead, not as good. Been looking to import a car for a while now. I may have to pull the trigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
