for those who absolutely can't polish out the yellow on their headlights. Take a washcloth and put some acetone on it, wipe in one direction one time across a small section of light. Acetone will take off yellow and just a little under it leaving crystal clear covers., finish with a plastic polish and a UV sealer. you're good.

[@koolyman]

Better than SUVs. This is the style of vehicle you need on MARS.

[@23srod]

I’ve been eyeing a 94 hiace for a few days. This video has sold me. Cheers!

[@Rhenzkiller]

I'm watching this in November 2023 wondering when am I gonna be able to afford one of these.

[@teddygrahm87]

This is the best thing I've watched on KZbin! Let's see more fun JDM stuff!

[@cesarbagel3803]

i love nipper scrap

[@jasoncarpp7742]

This looks like a fun outing. A great way to give the 4wd drivetrain some exercise.

[@leveluplife8585]

This event looks so awesome!

[@hbngo]

Such a cool video.. This makes me want a Toyota Hiace. Thanks for sharing!

[@SlicedSlappy]

I’m from Vancouver. We just got back from test driving a delica super exceed. I’m in love! We’re also looking at that hiace. Hopefully a purchase by May so we can enjoy the beautiful PNW and Canadian outdoors. This video got my psyched!!

[@Metered_Air]

[@bat-erdenejargalsaihan5837]

Love that Hi Ace!

[@Pitoytoy72]

Love the over 75 year old sticker on the front and back of a off roading van lol!

[@23v0lv32]

I just picked up a 93 townace super extra 4wd for my time spent here in new zealand! super cool vehicle :)

[@false2006]

これらの車って25年ルールが解除されてアメリカへ渡った車なのですが悪路走破性能優れてますよね。 アメリカでのオーナーさんのもとで第二の人生を謳歌している感じがいいですよね。 これを英語でどう伝えたら良いのでしょうか。

[@kazienamulhasan285]

These r the best vehicles in history, nw a days vehicles r fragile.

[@KnightDriveTV]

Sick bunch of vans but...not one seems aired down, tires look fully inflated. If you put lockers, a small lift and a bit more tire under these, they'd be monsters.

[@alto6852]

タウエースが好きだわ

[@houseofhendrix3372]

Beautiful area. Would you mind telling me where it's at and if it requires and Adventure Pass?

[@schlooonginator1227]

A relatively light weight ,rigid box with mid engine 4x4...seems like a pretty good idea.

[@spencerbaker415]

it’s a great idea and cab over engine

[@andrewsmith9980]

Are rear lockers available for the HiAce and TownAce? Is most of the driveline like a 4runner or Tacoma? Thanks

[@andrewchang2560]

every single ace u could think of

[@angykomandor374]

hiace the best

[@UCHILE2013]

Awesome. Where can I find spare parts for the 1987 injected 3y engine? Greetings from Chile

[@Absolut87.]

Кайф 😋

[@enterBJ40]

If more traction is needed is always possible to swap open differentials for Toyota LSD from other models like Cressida, Supra and others.

[@banatnow2661]

Because you can use the moon/sun roof hahaha

[@enterBJ40]

Nonsense.

[@katskillz]

the roof rack on the Hiace has some kind of rollout canvas for shade? what is the item called?

[@rremifournier]

When is the next video? so sick

[@fritzfromswitzerland]

Do they come with differential lockers?

[@busturbocr3166]

Can you buy, license, and legally drive in the roads a JDM like those vans in Washington State?

[@chillrasta12]

How do you guys go about buying parts for these things?

[@helmetboy431]

omg I want a townace so bad. I have no idea where to even look. I'm from Michigan!

[@lemonjuice3551]

They were my favourite car when I was 7 years old. Just seen one for sale here in the UK and thinking of buying it... The 33 y/o man in me says "parts will be rare as hen's teeth", "it's as old as you are" etc etc. But I just want it SO FUCKING MUCH.

[@subspaceanomaly]

@@lemonjuice3551 did you buy it? I've not seen one on the road in the uk

[@Alloneword-cp2xw]

@@subspaceanomaly I'm in the UK. We had one as a family in the 90s. We also had the Space Cruiser. Used both for towing caravans. Great vehicles.

[@subspaceanomaly]

@@Alloneword-cp2xw I have a 1994 Toyota estima import that is almost the same car in some respects. It seems like a golden age in vehicle design I think.

[@LamaniteLando]

Still want one? I have two for sale in Utah.

[@scottf6182]

Man I want to get ahold of one of them vans

[@SpareKingdom]

they're great. I just picked mine up that day and hit the mountains with these guys. Solid group of individuals. We played for hours scrambling rocks and steep dirt roads. I've never had so much fun in a "car." They my little space cabin hauled me faithfully 1000 miles back to Los Angeles with zero complaints. Keep dreaming brother.

[@beamngracing4949]

lazar crawford wait Los Angeles? I thought getting a jdm import there was like not possible

[@cyanginpedro]

@@SpareKingdom Did you register the vehicle in California? If so, how did you get past ARB compliance?

[@cyanginpedro]

@@beamngracing4949 It can be done but it's $$$$

[@abramrabinowitz252]

How can I purchase one??

[@dansmith6508]

Are any of these turbo diesels? and does the townace have front manual locking hubs?? Thanks.

[@LamaniteLando]

Want one? 2.2 TOWNACE turbo diesel with manual hubs for sale in Utah… I have 2 if you want one.

If You don't need to go to the forest, if it was only for adventure, do not go to destroy nature with your tires, do not waste money on gas, do not add more pollution. Repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus, the Son of God, the Savior of the world.

[@banatnow2661]

Here in the Philippines it cost $1000 for the 4x4 town ace. 🫶
