Hi, Would like to see pictures, or videos, of mini trucks next to 'regular' sized cars or trucks for size comparison. Please post or link them if you can. Thank you
I took this pic the day I brought my Suzuki home, 6 months ago, next to the Admirals Jeep and my Honda Fit.
Taken next to a small Wildland Fire Engine, so I could share how small it is to a couple of folks I know.
Wow, that's what I am talking about. Impressive that such as small vehicle is capable of so much. Thanks for the pictures.
I took my Suzuki to a causal car show at a local burger joint last Friday. I got there kind of late and the only space left open to park was next to a beautiful, fully restored vintage Mack truck. It kinda gives you a perspective of the wide range of whats available when you say "I drive a truck"... I doubt he would have been able to see me on the road if I was driving right in the blind spot in the front of his truck !
I'm putting a 2" lift on to get ready for a plow. I will see if I need heavier springs once I get a plow. It looks like I will be putting a Blackline Solutions on, the hydraulic version.
It was sagging pretty good with the plow on before the spring change. I cut the springs to be similar to the ride height before the change. It is about 1/2” higher and the plow brings it down less than an inch now. I have only plowed three times since I got it and the most was about 7”. It did very well. I just couldn’t justify the price of the Blackline. I found this one locally on EBay for a very nice price. It was brand new in 4 boxes, but about 4 years old. They never got around to installing it.
You will need to upgrade the springs. The blackline is a heavy plow. I ended up with a set of variable rate springs 150 to 450-lbs/inch, from one of the race shops made to fit onto coil over shocks. Rides ok, when unloaded, and still have some suspension travel with the plow on.
I am digging your 1964 Datsun 320 truck. I had a Toyota truck about that same year but didn't keep it. Not mine but similar to the one I had. Mine was much rougher.
I pulled up next to a little Mazda2 a while back, and when I got out I noticed I had parked both behind the nose and in front of the rear of the thing. Turns out the truck is a full 16 inches shorter than a Mazda 2, and about 700 pounds lighter too. The carry was also rebadged as the Mazda Scrum, and it amuses me to think of somebody out there owning both and thinking of the 2 as their big mazda.
