I’m so excited to do this myself if I get the kei truck this week!

[@inkandpistons]

thats awesome congrats!!!

[@skylernelson5643]

I’m in Okinawa rn, finding electronics seems super overpriced so far. Still searching around. Saw a screen head unit for 1k, makes 0 sense to me.

[@inkandpistons]

@@skylernelson5643 from my experience, every time I'm in Japan, electronics seem 'more' expensive.. I only found good deals a few times in Akihabara

@@inkandpistons what do you think is the problem whenever I turn on the lights, the temp gauge rises but if turned off, it falls fast

[@inkandpistons]

@@jessejohnreyes4146 hmmm, that's a weird one. My first question is did you put aftermarket headlights or anything else in that's different from stock. My second question would be to check to see if the temperature is really raising or if it's just the gauge acting like it is. Does the temperature keep going up and your car starts Overheating. Or does it just blip up, and down if turned on and off.. If It just jumps up and down and there is no actual heat increases it's probably something related to a bad ground . The dashboard or gauge cluster is probably getting interference from whatever ground the headlights are on. Could even be the gauge itself. It's a pain in the butt, but you'll probably have to go through the wiring diagram and see everywhere that the instrument cluster and headlights are grounded and check the quality on the grounding bolts. You may also have to separate grounds. If it's not REALLY affecting the running temperature of the car and overheating, I would just chalk it up to an inaccurate gauge as long as you're not getting in the red. Hope that helps a little.

@@inkandpistons yeah, its just bliping when turned on and off. I just bought it recently and I just recently noticed it whenever I am driving at night. thanks for answering my question man. hope you make lots of content of your kei truck! More power to you!

[@inkandpistons]

@@jessejohnreyes4146 now I'm going to have to check mine.. my temp never really gets over 1/8 to a 1/4 up. No idea what that is in degrees 🤔

[@japtv8394]

I'm also planning to buy the same thing.. nice video. Would love to see more!!

[@inkandpistons]

Thanks, Gonna have some more updates on the K truck soon..

[@KeianoChing]

I just got my truck and was wondering if you think I could fit two 12" shallow mount subs behind the seat or somewhere?

[@inkandpistons]

What is it ? Honda you might under the seat. Suzuki or Mazda Not a chance. Not sure about other brands.

[@KeianoChing]

@@inkandpistons Its a sambar not sure how but im going to do it

[@inkandpistons]

@@KeianoChingah, i have no idea how the seats are in that. I'm going to make a small 8 fit between the seats near the floor

[@shaunlepage8723]

Have you gone with your plan b with flush mounting speakers in door panel?

[@inkandpistons]

Sorry it's been a minute for the audio update I was waiting till I finished the subwoofer installation which I still haven't yet.. I don't like how the box or location turned out.. I still have the 1inch ring in so it sticks out the door panel a little bit not bad.. it's not to in my way when I'm driving.. if I ever redo the speak I'll make it sit flush.

[@shaunlepage8723]

@@inkandpistons did you screw the 1 inch rings into your door panel or the actual door?

[@inkandpistons]

@@shaunlepage8723 the panel. I also made the panel out of plastic so it would be more rigid. I didn't really want to drill into the door . However If you go with a slightly smaller speaker then I believe there's an opening already. I think they're either 3.25 or 3.5 in holes. I had already bought the fives which is why I did the ring.

[@shaunlepage8723]

@@inkandpistons thanks for the reply. I got 5 1/4 speakers for when I start to do mine. Was seeing the different options people were doing for mounting them.

[@inkandpistons]

@@shaunlepage8723 yeah the little rings were great cause they didn't stick out too far...

[@shareefudeen4731]

How much weight does 5spd el carry in it? Please reply

[@inkandpistons]

It's about 350kg (almost 800lbs).. I've done 500lbs in it and didn't even notice a change so that may be an under estimate...

[@awlejandro]

what is total price for this import?

[@inkandpistons]

I don't recall there exact price.. Check out the first video in this series. I break down all the costs at the end.. because there are a lot of import fees and taxes.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmi2eH6doceHh9U
