Hello everyone. For better or for worse, I just took the plunge and bought a 1992 Suzuki dump truck. It's still in Japan but should arrive in Vancouver on June 19th. Here are a few pics . . .
Hi Rob. My name is Mickey and I just recently joined this Forum, like you. Yes it is frustrating to see so little activity on these posts, but have other Forums where the same people post too often. I find the best way to use the Forums is to think of it as a last ditch effort to find something but you have to dig deep and long. I rarely get any response. Try looking for a Facebook page, much more likely to be active. Here is my Daihatsu Midget II. Good luck with your dump truck. You'll have a blast.
Welcome to the forum! I am on time to time, but because of work I am not online as much as I would have liked. I try to answer/help on some questions when I can. There is indeed a FB group the people of this forum made. It is a closed group called "Japanese Mini Trucks of America". https://www.facebook.com/groups/1491121737584558/ Another group that I am with is called PNW Kei Trucks (I think)... it's here. https://m.facebook.com/groups/253077185152668 Hope those help! Lots more activity on there then here. But here if you dig, you can find good info.
No problem! Yea activity here has dropped, but people come on time to time to update stuff and say hello.
Please don't dismiss this forum. There is a lot of good info here if you dig around some and a lot of good people here. Does not seem to be a overpopulated site as some are, and some participants don't or can't check in here everyday so sometimes it does seem a bit slow. Fred
Hey! Also going to be a new Carry owner at the end of the month. Very excited to dig into my new project and rig it up for the Canadian winters!! Will try to show progress for others to see.
