So I was thinking, I've seen video's of it being done,people swapping the engines out of these vehicles for a 1.6l g16b suzuki engine for more acceleration and slightly more top-gear speed. the only downside's I can see to any mini-truck that is availible for import to usa within my budget (800-1200 USD max) is a 1992 and older,and either the daihatsu hijet or the suzuki carry,as the honda acty doesnt feature full lockable and selectable speed diff+transfer cases is the lack of engine power.

(currently looking at a '88 4wd daihatsu hijet 547cc 3cylinder 4stroke, But if I can find one I'd rather get the suzuki carry '92/91 4wd 657cc) I only found out about mini trucks from my passion in UTV's,I wanted a strong 4wd UTV with over 30hp and atleast 600lbs of towing capacity, Now the only downside to that is my options were well over 5,000$,and that was just for a 24hp ATV,not a full-UTV, a website reccomended to the public that if they wanted a strong offroad and on-road equivalent of a ATV/UTV to just get a mini-truck. From April 2014, it will start replacing the sensor, which will take around 40 to 50 minutes, he said.Hello everyone, Im new to this forum and Mini-Trucks in general, But i'll get right to the point.Ĭurrently I do not own a mini-truck for myself, but am currently looking at purchasing one. Since it will take time to prepare components needed to replace the sensor, Daihatsu will first make a change in a computer program that controls the engine, which will take about 10 minutes, the spokesman said.

Daihatsu is also recalling around 40 vehicles in Hong Kong, a spokesman said. The recalled vehicles, manufactured between November 2005 and June 2010, include certain models of the Tanto and the Mira.

No accidents have been reported as a result of the glitch, said Daihatsu, a group company of Toyota Motor Corp 7203.T that makes 660 cc minicars. The sensor could break because a coil inside is not durable enough and the engine could stop when the car is running or may not start at all, the carmaker said in a statement filed to Japan’s transport ministry. TOKYO (Reuters) - Daihatsu Motor Co 7262.T said it is recalling a record 892,000 vehicles, mostly in Japan, over an engine sensor glitch.
