Proof

[@Zappy1210]

My father had a 1980 Suzuki truck like this on the farm we had. It was a 2 stroke, self mixing 550cc engine 4x4. I believe he lifted it about 2 or 3 inches with 30 to 32 inch mud tires. That thing was amazing as a farm truck, there literally was nothing it couldn't do better than any Ford or Chevy truck on the farm and mud that would easily sink a Ford or Chevy was a non-issue for it. We had it from 1983 to 1998 when he sold the farm and the little truck with it. It still ran great. I loved the fold down sides on the bed. Not saying I'd run it as a daily driver on the road, but as for industry/farm work, I'd choose these over anything. Basically a UTV on steroids is how I'd describe one. Amazing piece of work someone did to this truck, a head turner for sure.

[@sprendergast351]

I used to import these Japanese kei trucks. They are unbelievably reliable and it is usually something catastrophic like a broken cambelt to stop them from running. Great machines offroad with a set of 25's and a lift kit. Some of the Suzuki and Daihatsu are supplied with factory rear diff lock. Full credit to the builder of this little machine.

[@danhard8440]

i see them in the Philippines they are cool AF !!

[@jasonplant5432]

This is by far my favorite mini truck,and I be looking at mini trucks!!

[@johnstiles4457]

I built that truck on almost no budget out of parts lying around my shop. It served me well. I could back up and pick an atv up and walk out of a mud hole 3 feet deep.

Not being rude or spiteful, just saying to build a toy to your specifications and stop putting other folks builds down...there's enough hate floating around, let's just have some fun with things that are obviously built solely for the purpose of having fun...

I'm amazed it moved! I've done some Rangi af repairs in my time but I'd never let it off the lift like that. Cool concept, terrible execution.

[@davidbabin387]

That is sooooo cool! Tonka toy for men. Looks to me like this vehicle is meant for strictly off-road use! Back in '78, I purchased a full size Blazer, brand new. Once I put 37" Gumbo Mudders on it, highway driving was horrible. Those tires are not meant for the highway, what I see when I look at the whole vehicle is a total off-road vehicle. I'm 69 years old, and I don't remember seeing anything like this in the U.S.! They were probably offered only overseas. But, man, what a vehicle! Bet the off-road ability of this vehicle will be next to none! Thanks for the video. These are what I love too see. Be safe! Oh man, what a great video. Thanks!

[@jacobwow9962]

This thing must be so happy to get back to life it’s a amazing looking unit I can’t believe it ran that fast it was like it was just waiting for 5 years.

[@mkII.]

Honestly one of the sickest vehicles ive ever seen in general. So much utility in one vehicle.

[@LawrenceGerman]

Those little Mitsubishis are starting to become popular, but in the realm of “Lowered Street Style” with some power adders to bring up the HP to around 100-ish. This is a very lovable rig that could pretty much go anywhere any time of the year. Great work on the MacGuyvering and keeping her together.

[@TwanJaarsveld1]

Those are actually a bit bigger than these Suzuki/Daihatsu trucks

[@rogersimpson9725]

I have a truck similar to this. The motor went out on my car so now my mini truck is my main mode of transportation. I use it for door dashing. I didn't anticipate all of the attention however. People constantly tell me how cool it is. They even take pictures of it. What I like about it the most is that it's not hard to work on.😊

[@StrangeDuder]

"What's that you said? You need a tow? I got you buddy here we go! Oh if that ain't awesome i don't know what is." Agreed. This video literally made my day. Well done!

That's a party vehicle. Take it out of the woods drink some beers, smoked a little weed, eat a bag full of shrooms. And then, "hey man, let's party down and climb some hills with the Tonka truck.🤟🤟🤟

That is one neat little Tonka !! The guy who built that thing had a stroke of genius !....or maybe just a stroke...lol !! I love it !

Started life as a Mitsubishi MiniCab in Japan. Ends up in America, built as a midget monster-truck. Some refinements required, but all in all... what a beast.

[@timmybob4871]

It broke my heart and ruined my day when you said it wasn't yours. I assumed you had purchased it. I want to see more!!!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah unfortunately just working on it for a friend, but I'm pretty much welcome to use it or do whatever with it. I'm just afraid of breaking it because as you see in the video it's pretty fragile. If you have ideas for future video on it let me know

[@seanpoulk5718]

My pops had one of those fully stock. I Used to zip it around the lake and through the sand and mud. It did pretty good for what it was. I wish I had that little orange beast now. I just found your channel and now I have a "bingeathon" to keep me occupied waiting for the snow to melt up here in Alaska. I picked up two "minty" K5 blazers....no, I cannot fib neither of them are anywhere close to "minty", but I have plans, muhahahaha. One will become a swamp buggy and the other may just be my new snow plow truck. Anyway you are awesome, always happy and excited and I hope via screen osmosis and a lot of knuckle busting on my part I can gain some of your mechanikination skills. Keep up the good work.

I've got the Suzuki Carry, 1994. I just can't believe this truck actually moves under it's own power! Unreal, trust me. The 3 banging straight 660cc only puts out around, what??? 42 horse with around 49 pounds torque ??? They are a lot of fun to drive and talk when people approach asking what the hell>..... After sitting for a Few more than a few years, I had mine running in less than 30 minutes as well. Quick turn of a screw driver to the carb, clean it out really well, put air in the tires and took it for a ride. still running great! Indestructible.

[@teamidris]

Oh wow that is sweet, I love it 🥰 If it was built in a workshop with a lathe and milling machine it is awful and if it was built in a shed with an angle grinder and a stick welder it is a work of genius :D

I feel like theres more to the tow/crane system than what we saw. The big yellow T bar thing and some other parts in the rear tail gate. They seem like they come out, maybe as wheel cradles?

I think that is the brace that holds the arm to the bed. Otherwise it would rip that thin metal

I believe that was the frame to support the tow lift arm since that wasn't attached anywhere else on the rig. Probably made from an engine hoist.

Yeah, the 22cal. are called “Rat Shot”! By adding the wheel spacers, in my state (Maine), you need fender flares to be “Road Legal”! But We have 300,000 Miles of Logging Roads, and about 30,000 miles of maintained ITS Trails (Interstate Trail System)! So Game-On!!!

Ever since I first saw the Honda Acty Pick Up Truck in London in the 1980's I've loved these tiny, forward control vehicles! Unfortunately, London traffic is NOT where you would want to be in these trucks because the crew cabin doubles as the crumple zone during collisions! Even quite low speed impacts present grave risks to the occupants, and after inspecting the remains of two which had been in frontal collisions I decided that they weren't for me. I look forward to seeing your adventures with your Tonka Truck. Subscribed. In the UK a boat building company called Island Plastics manufactured one piece fibreglass, demountable campers for these trucks, which you could place on the stands and drive away! They were hugely popular, and if you do a Google Images search for the Honda Acty Romahome you'll find them, one would look good on the back of your Tonka Truck!
