lets see your hijet post some pics

Spot on, it came from a coast guard base. The rack is really well made, thought it was some type of factory option. Thanks for the info.

 

Wow! love it. Where did you find the aluminum black storage box? What is that small grill in front of the rear right tire? Sorry for all the questions.

 

Nice click and it is very beautiful and i like such kind of mini trucks that looks strong and attractive. Thanks for sharing this information.

 

Great looking truck. Could i ask where you found your battery box cover, or was it on the truck when you bought it?

 

I want to say that is a stock cover... or at least one of the stock options. Mine has that too.

Here is recent pictures of mine along with my other ride. Today I drilled and fitted fake Japanese kei plates for car show use. Also recently installed scooter mirrors to replace the huge stock ones.

 

New guy here. Glad I found this forum as I have lots of questions. Here's my 2001 I picked up last week. I think I have checked it over pretty good except - My power assist steering (eps) light is on and the power assist is not working and I think my AC needs charging. Anybody know where the fuse/relay is for the eps and what kind or refrigerant it takes?? Thanks

 

Just picked this up...

 

Looks like God’s country!

 

1996 Hijet 17,800 miles, A/C, pretty solid condition.. yet to be registered... plans for painting original white soon after removing a few dings

 

@Just 4 Fun , where did you get these?

 

Hi all. New to this forum but not to mini trucks. Here’s a few pictures of my truck that I’ve been building for the last few years.

 

I went 4x4'ing...

Also put my stickers on. Shout out to @Kauai Kei for the idea!

 

First time posting - thought I'd share a few pics of my truck with you all. Still very much a work in progress!

 

What are those wheels off of? They look great!

 

Done

 

My 91 I bought last week.

Worst rust is at the corners of the windshield under the gasket.

These two bolt-holes in the bumper area are a mystery to me... any idea what they're for?

Rust streams coming from the handles... Springs rusting, or? Should I replace them before they fail?

Hardware on the bed is pretty rusty too. Any recommendations on ways to clean it off?

Interior is pretty good, a few seat tears is all.

Tires have an ok amount of tread but a lot of cracking... honestly surprised it passed inspection (seller had it inspected last month), on the lookout for the best options for replacements when needed (road vehicle atm, don't need offroading tires).

 

Rustoleum rust reformer works well on surface rust. Sand smooth, spray a coat on, then paint whatever color you want over it. The gate latches are replaceable and can be found on several sites. Bolt holes are for front plate.

 

Thanks.

Actually just finished fixing all the body scratches/chips/rust with rust reformer and rustoleum auto enamel spraypaint and Spray in bed liner. There's some overspray and paint running that I'll probably clear up with some wet sanding and clearcoat in the future, but for now I'm happy.

Undercarriage looks alright. Outer area of the brake drums on a couple wheels look pretty rusty, but I'm not thinking I'll try removing the wheels yet. Maybe when I replace them/the tires.


Also, everything I'm seeing online says that the smallest wheel on 1991 hijets was 12"... are these replacement 10" wheels or what?

 

Mine are 12x4 and I have seen 12x3.5 mentioned online. Have never seen 10"
