Thanks for posting Austin 👍 The Carry is really turning out nice 🙂

[@austinniemela]

Thanks mike!!

[@BoomBoomLou]

Looks like a mini LMTV. I want one lol.

[@willb3018]

Sounds great to me. $80 sounds great as well. Love everything you have done to this mini truck from the beginning. Fun to watch you do your thing on this truck and your other trucks as well. You have a great comprehensive skill set.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you much!

[@motorider727]

I did this to my Carry based on your video. Only difference is I got a new flange so I didn’t have to use an adapter and it sounds amazing. Awesome video! I appreciate it dude! Amazing content!

[@rcsanks]

You should go to your nearest semi truck shop and buy a few old brake drums at scrap price. Then get a stick of 2X2 square tube and make some mounts for the chop saw and bench grider and whatever else you want to be movable. They are heavy enough they don't tip over but you can roll away when not in use. Works great.

[@jonathanemocling3826]

Lol That’s the first thing I said. Dang where’s the snow? Too funny

Changed the factory muffler on my 1972 Mercury Comet GT with a Thrush straight glass-pack back in 1983! Man was I cool 😎!!! 😂🤣😂

Love my Thrush woodpecker, been using them for 50 years. Good cheap mufflers.

[@leostgeorge2080]

nice work dude I love my Carry. Goes about any place. Enjoy your vids. Hello from the Philippines! Wish i could send a pic of my Carry the bed canopy makes them look so much better and i have never seen one in the states with one

[@FishingPhoFun]

I did the same thing by keeping the flange on my Carry. 2" tube fits right over that flange for a nice snug fit

[@nealgold8442]

Great video and very informative. Can you tell me the wheel & tire combo you are running? What’s the total diameter. Thanks!

[@androdiehl6596]

Did you ever rejet the carb after doing the exhaust?

[@Liberty4Ever]

That is one sweet Suzuki Carry, and great job on the new exhaust! I bought a 1996 4WD Hijet with HI/LO transfer case almost a month ago and I'm still waiting for it to ship from Yokohama to the US, which is going to take another month. It'll hopefully be a winter project although it appears to be in good shape based on the pictures and inspection sheet. It's gonna be used for errands around town, but I'm outfitting it to be another SHTF zombie apocalypse vehicle.

[@pb6839]

How did it turn out? I live in Japan half the time and we are looking for an older acty to go surfing and move bikes around with. I have not found one that's sold domestically with inspection that's not rusted out. Some were painted to look better than they were.

[@Liberty4Ever]

@@pb6839 - I bought a well used 1996 4WD Hijet farm truck from Japan. It was definitely a work truck and not babied, but it wasn't a wreck. It had a little dent in front of the passenger door and a little crease on the lower passenger door (both now repaired with Bondo). There were some minor dings on the tailgate, in the bed and on the back of the cab where loads banged into the cab. When shopping, I saw quite a few frames and under bodies that looked nearly new, with black paint when OEM paint is white. I figured some Japanese mechanic painted the underside to prevent rust, or maybe to treat incipient rust. I intentionally bought a truck that had obvious mild surface rust that I could see and judge fairly well from a photo. I didn't want to buy a truck that was driven on salted roads and had bubbling penetrating frame corrosion that someone sanded and painted to look good so they could sell it. I'm currently in the process of painting my Hijet, inside and out, with Monstaliner polyurethane bed liner. The surface prep is taking more time than I thought, but I don't want to cut corners and not have a good result. I used a ScotchBrite pad on an angle grinder to sand out small surface rust spots. The truck had no spots with perforating or even deep rust. There was very little rust and it was all superficial. It became significantly more noticeable in the 10 months I had it. I then treated the bare metal with nearly microscopic rust crevices that I couldn't reach with the angle grinder with Ospho, which converts iron and iron oxide into relatively inert iron phosphate to stop the rusting. I then thoroughly cleaned those areas to remove the remaining Ospho which is largely phosphoric acid, dried thoroughly, and sprayed with SprayMax two part epoxy primer in a $32 rattle can. Expensive, but good stuff. I used a ScotchBrite pad to scuff the paint all over the Hijet to improve the bonding, and I'll solvent wipe the surface and apply two coats of gray Monstaliner bed liner to produce a durable maintenance free finish. I was going to spray the underneath with Surface Shield, which is a very effective rust preventative, but I'm now thinking that I'll spray the frame and suspension components with Ospho (avoiding any plastic or rubber) to convert any mild surface rust, power wash it to remove excess Ospho, dry thoroughly and then spray a heavy coat of penetrating and non-drying Surface Shield before driving on any salted roads. It's a shame but many people import a cool 26 year old JDM mini truck, drive it on salted roads in the US, and have the very solid frame rust away in 2-3 years. In my mind, I'm repairing and upgrading my Hijet for the second half of its 50 year life. After having a Tacoma with manufacturer's defect frame corrosion that Toyota did nothing to fix, that had perforating frame rust at 91,000 miles that prevented me from using it as a truck, that limped along as a 20 MPG two seater car until the frame rusted completely in half at 143,000 miles, I absolutely hate frame corrosion. It's car cancer.

[@pb6839]

@@Liberty4Ever thanks for all the info. Nice to read that you put so much work into caring for yours. You must’ve been lucky to get one with minimal rust. It was likely from southern Japan, and far away from the sea. That’s one of the main challenges in Japan, everything rusts. Ive got some classic car dealers who are helping me find an old one, and I’ve learned about so much shady stuff going on with the exporters. Pretty much all the ones being sold to exporters are off limits to me because of bad papers, failure of inspection, covered up damage, etc. Japan has extremely strict rules regarding what can drive on its roads but look the other way when exporting. In fact exporters get their Taxes back on any car they export, so the more they export the better. I’m looking to get a Acty Attack with the round headlights. Unfortunately finding them in a condition where they’d be allowed on Japanese roads is quite difficult. Once one comes up that’s not modified I need to jump on it right away. Btw, the dealers in America always say the trucks are farm trucks but it’s not true. You will never see a farmer use anything that’s more than 5 years old. They use much newer trucks, there are strict rules. Maybe it was a farm truck 20 years ago but given the good condition it must’ve been stored indoors somewhere 😁. I’m happy you’re giving it a new and long life! Hijet would be my second choice. I’m from Germany (just live in Osaka area) and they were actually sold there (made in Italy) because the old streets are so narrow and need snow plows that fit. Piaggio (the company that makes vespa) also has a clone of the Hijet called a porter. I think both came with larger engines because they are allowed on the autobahn. I want to say 900cc but that might be wrong. When I get one I’ll definitely be re painting it and giving it a lot of rust protection.

[@Liberty4Ever]

@@pb6839 - Nobody told me that my Hijet was a farm truck. I inferred that from the overall condition, nature of the observable wear, and the yellow farm dust that's everywhere, even after I was forced to pay $100 to have the underneath steam cleaned to pass a USDA import inspection. Based on the paperwork, I believe my truck came from near Osaka. I think used car dealers are pretty much the same around the world. 😕 I imported through Be Forward, buying directly from their site. People who are fussier pay to have scouts find and thoroughly inspect JDM vehicles to ensure the quality and no surprises. My Hijet had a blown clutch and I had to winch it onto the trailer at the port of entry. That was probably the hand written note on the inspection form that I couldn't read. I only paid $265 for the Hijet (plus $1935 to ship it) so I still feel that I got a good deal. So far, I've spent $7,304.44 to date, and that includes everything, right down to the Taco Bell that I ate when traveling to the Newport News Marine Terminal to pick up the Hijet. It includes title, taxes, licensing, registration, insurance, all maintenance, repairs and upgrades... everything except gasoline. This evening, I gave the Hijet one last very thorough pressure cleaning so it's ready to paint as soon as it dries in a couple of days, and I used the pressure washer to blast out the hollow rail cap on the bed sides and tailgate. I let the water drain and then sprayed Ospho into the hollow rails to convert any rust that may have started in there. I'll wash out the residue tomorrow and let it dry before painting. I'll swab the inside of the rail caps with bed liner to protect it from rusting.

[@richmoschkau6358]

That is one cool little truck! Nice work as always. Is it just me or does the rear shackle hit the bumper mount?

It’s close but I don’t think it hits!

[@jasperdomacena6491]

do you consider an engine swap? there's a similar 3 cylinder with ECU controlled Fuel Injection K6A 660cc's 30hp@6,000rpm up to 60-ish hp's If it's the turbo version the F8A carby 40hp @ 5,500rpm or the "BIG-BLOCK" 4 cylinder F10A carby 60hp@ 5,500rpm it can easily fit under there without any major modification to the engine bay
