Derek does your wife know how much you enjoy the muscly firefighters?

[@PacificCoastAuto]

She says she knows... That was supposed to be a joke but this is getting concerning now... lol

[@harshjay]

I just imported one of these, but a bigger diesel engine. Customs didn't take either of my fire extinguisher's, and they have never been used!

[@mattwolf7698]

I should get one and take it to the JDM Turner meet!

[@USMiniTrucks]

YES... Intergalactic planetary.....I never even noticed that was filmed in Japan until I just watched their video again. Good reference.

[@MrMikey1273]

id buy the crank siren by its self thats really cool

[@jamesquillianmello8415]

So cool. I kept seeing it in the background of your other walk-arounds and was hoping you'd get to it!

[@jsanbr]

The bucket for small fires was the highlight of this video! 😂

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

That's brilliant use of a HiAce!

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

Neat little fire truck. 🚒

[@PentaYOOO]

JDM lightbar, that's really cool!

[@manolitovantorre2258]

good job keep it up ... grtz from belgium

[@augiepagano7241]

That's awesome wish I can buy one.

[@jambrand3708]

Looks very interesting. Only from Japan

[@25region35]

There is a small lifhak with a shift lever to transfer on this truck, you raise the plastic ring and the lever folds up to 90 degrees ..

[@Daniel28021991]

Very cool

[@realkilju]

OMG!! Coolest thing ever!!

[@bert26a]

The curled up suction hoses are for drafting from a water source like a pond, pool, river etc. Not for hooking up to a hydrant they have the suction hoses like that because in the event of an earthquake and the water mains become broken they draft water from any of these water sources. What does a truck like this go for imported to Canada?

[@detective3728]

Can you still use the hose? Funny, we use them as well in Europe as a fire trucks, back in the late 80's! :) Highace and the Transit was the best selling van!

[@thepathps.2716]

Can you able to get a jdm police car with the logos and accessories?. 🤔👍🇺🇸

[@JuddKramer]

This would be great for a racing team or a small airfield.

[@Camhin1]

These out of the norm vehicles are way more interesting than the gtrs and other popular tunner cars.

[@XxStreetShredderxX]

Awww i wanted to watch 2 more minutes of grass!

[@alzathoth]

I'd like to see a highace ambulance. ;)

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

Hiace Bigger size LH129 4x4

[@rebelmaderighteous]

i know of one of these in edmonton

[@mocasinuldomnuluipablo2237]

great car for horticultural use not only firefighting,i should buy one

[@albinbiju7231]

You start selling more of those crank sirens lol. I'm pretty sure it'll sell well. I really want one lmao.

[@albinbiju7231]

*should

[@chefkdowg]

I would ship all the stuff separate. Tires, wheels, light bar. Box up what can be boxed.

[@alejandrohp99]

Estimated cost? and info for shipping to South America please.

[@dilbertsf]

I have one. It's my daily driver.

[@naserella2428]

dilbertsf how much did it cost you?

[@dilbertsf]

Nas R. $10,000 w/9,000 miles on it.

[@harshjay]

where are you located?

[@onyourface207]

same. I just bought one to convert into a motorhome, but for now, it's my daily driver. I love it.

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

@@onyourface207 exactly legend

[@christopherblodgett8362]

Haha I was actually looking for a fire truck on your auction site but couldn't find anything. Is there any hint to filtering them out or do you just have to scroll through all the trucks of each make?

[@PacificCoastAuto]

You know, I don't really know. I think the best way would be to query the mileage from lowest to highest. Fire engines are always super low mileage so doing it this way, they would be on the first page.

[@panafrican5715]

How much for the truck and how much for shipping? ??

[@jdmercard]

Just ballpark... does anyone know about how much USD these go for?

[@TheSignatureK]

jdmercard I saw one go for $30,000 USD

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

@@TheSignatureK ??ohh

[@SOFINeedsALadder]

The only use i can imagine for someone to import a fire truck, would be if someone owned a racetrack maybe?

[@dhall3000]

Are you kidding? My 5yo son would think me a hero if I rolled up in one of these bad boys.

[@NON_BIDENary]

#TakeMyMoneyNow these would make GREAT EXPEDITION CAMPERS here in California!!! CAN YOU PLZZZZZ tell me what is involved for me as a buyer to buy a vehicle from you and get it SHIPPED to California!! Price?? What would I have to do to make it LEGAL HERE IN CALIFORNIA? I know smog would be a problem so I'd have to get a catalytic converter! Love these diesel compact 4x4 rigs and vans you show WOULD BE HIGHLY INTERESTED IN BUYING if it's not that much of a headache!! Plzzzzz respond and thx

[@nakazul1]

DiegoDad In the description there is a contact email. I recommend you use that, if your really interested.

[@carlosgonzales2394]

DiegoDad it costs about $8k to get it registered in CA. Even if you have the cash, it's a headache.

[@NON_BIDENary]

Carlos Gonzales seriously?? I'm not joking? I would seriously love to get my hands on 1 to make a bug out/expedition hunting camper!! Was the thinking of getting a military friend to bring 1over when he transferred from Japan to here!! Is the expense the shipping? The smog fees or just getting title?

[@Kxider]

PopsAndAlly well go on and head to their website

[@justmechanicthings]

No turbo? so this thing just spent it's life arriving at piles of hot ashes?

[@thesis4349]

Japan it's not that big, so you start it, put 1st, 2nd and then you arrive to the fire...

[@ajdahun]

Basket? no grasshopper-strainer.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

LHD CONVERSION FOR SOUTH AMERICA.

[@wsx2000lol]

they do it

[@user-ld6ed7mp9r]

On South American countries that don't allow RHD but allow imports, conversions are pretty normal. And well, there's no exceptions, so you can even see a V-Spec R34 with a LHD configuration... The only modified steering cars I've seen here on my city, are usually Japanese vans from the 2000s.

[@hunterjuana]

what are you, gay?

[@PacificCoastAuto]

I knew someone would say it. haha

[@NON_BIDENary]

Hunter Kyle sounds like you're interested 👨‍❤️‍👨 😂💦

[@hunterjuana]

DiegoDad wouldn't mind being hosed down by a hunky jdm fireman tbh
