Congratz on your new toy...... Driving on the right side is a breeze.... It takes awhile to get use to going to the right door to get in though. I couldn't tell you how many times I have openned up the wrong door to get in. I haven't had to buy any brakes pads or u-joints yet so I can't help you with that.
Hello, what year did you get?

I'm still waiting for the vendor list and map to be posted up. Everything I have needed so far is in Japan.

You had better post some pics before I start thinking you got hosed badly. As a basis of my thought. http://www.minitrucktalk.com/showthread.php?t=1320

i think it is a 1997 daihatsu ,we can not buy them here as resonable as you do .these have to go through mvi to get tags because we can drive them anywhere on our highways ( some roads are like going off road) so i think it is worth what i paid.also it has all new tires.once i figure how to get pictures up i will post.

This is a far price for a clean low mileage Jumbo cab on the East coast. The Jumbo cabs are usually three times the cost of a normal Hijet and then there is the shipping all the way across Canada. Congrats on your purchase, they really are nice trucks.

Still new to Hijets here.

I bought two Hijet Jumbos. One 2wd and one 4wd.
I didn't know they were that valuable. :eek:
