has anyone seen these?

[jigglestick]

where are all of these mini trucks coming from?
I have seen them everywhere lately.



they look somewhat useful and comfortable in chilly weather too.

This is the first that I've seen them.

I believe they are Daihatsu (spelling?) Isuzu also makes something like that as well. 

[jigglestick]

there are several different mfgrs.
the ones I have seen are 4x4's.
some are equiped with atv type tires and wheels. some are camo.
all seem to be used with various miles.
I have seen the with different motors as well. for example, one had a 660 cc motor in it.
we are getting flooded with these. just wondering where they are coming from so I can cut out the middle man.

I'm getting the skinny on these now. check out this link.
looks like dealers around here are doubling the prices or more.

Used to see alot of them in my travels overseas.

Heck, I saw a 4 door chevy s10 about 10 years before I saw one here.

Those are all over the place in Japan and Korea, I used to see them there when I was in the service. You need a shoe horn to get in and out of it if you are over 6' tall. Asian pickup truck.

  Have you found any more info on these Jiggel?

[iceman]

got a few of these at maddens what a great tool to work with but hell to work on and finding parts can be a bear too..

[rchaze60]

those are made in South Korea they have a big factory over there

[jigglestick]

actualy there are several manufacturers. these apear to be made in japan, not that it makes a difference.
here is a link with the details mr.harry.

they sell these localy, and on the internet. you can buy them one at a time that way, if you want to buy any from the japanese processing yard, it seems like you should buy at least a half dozen of them, so if you wanted one for parts, get two for yourself, then have a few buddies get in on the deal and you all split the shipping cost to the usa.
they'd be a great little hunting rig I think.

[Mr Harry]

  I think they are kind of neat, would be nice to have up on our land to just drive on the trails etc.

Actually a friend of mine sells them.  I know they use them on their ranch and love them.  You can check out his website at

[Mr Harry]

  Very interesting and they are only about 35 miles from me!  If they can be licensed as an ATV or OTV that would be great, then I could use it on the lake too.

If you like those you should check out the suzuki LJ's. I have one in my garage that I am rebuilding for deer hunting. They hard to find parts for though and even harder to find one to purchase.

Check out the website for them.

  Just saw a Suzuki today in New York Mills.  They said they really like it.  The owner left before I could ask many questions.  It was licensed as a class 2 ATV.
