daihatsu mini truck

This thing is awesome! 3" lift kit - new tires & wheels. We have to build custom control arms to set the camber and fix some dents, he wants to camo wrap it too!

Boss has one. It is a blast to play with.

Yeah, we are building a lower subframe for the lca's to get better alignment specs and now we are repairing the body, I think he wants to wrap it in camo.

It's funny, a few years ago these weren't popular at all & could be had for nothing. Sometimes they're still cheaper than a fourwheeler. They're awesome to have at a hunting camp.

[Danny Kinder]

Yeah perfect for hunting!! He's using it for duck hunting {sniper}

I think you can tag them for the street as well. Would be fun!

yeah i think they are streetable in most states

[prjohnson]

They're actually fairly hard to get tagged because they don't meet up to US standards. Some states are coming around to them, but only for non highway roads, as a Farm Vehicle. There's laws that specify Mini Trucks. It's been a couple years ago when I was researching these, but at the time they were non street legal in Georgia.

WOW! I am beat - we spent ALL day building a custom sub-frame & complete IFS suspension system for this thing!! The customer loved it though! He's taking it on a ten day hunting trip to Missouri  {cheers2}
