Been meaning to post this for a few days. There are a lot of fun, weird Japanese imports here in Boise, but this is my favorite so far. Sometimes there’s a mid-80’s GTI in that same spot, wonder if it belongs to same person. I think this is either a Suzuki or Honda.

> ... Unlike new vehicles with onboard computers and complicated proprietary parts, Kei trucks are easy to modify and repair. In northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, people fit them out with tracks to drive on ice in winter. Some owners are almost cultish. “MotoCheez”, a mechanic from Connecticut, says his YouTube channel’s popularity soared after he started featuring his Kei truck.

Are there any #California #keiTruck people on here? I'm interested in what it really takes to make #keiTrucks legal here once imported. How do you get it street legal with #CARB and whatnot? Can you get it green tagged and turned into an off-road vehicle?

Spotted two #KeiTrucks in the wild. It’s really cool to see these getting new life on the other side of the world.

Here's question does anyone know or own a Kei Truck? I'm asking because I find them fascinating and they're considered a street legal vehicle that can do more than a UTV/side-by-side. I may want to buy one as a plow truck/ Trash hauler and would like to know the pros and cons of owning one? #KeiTrucks #SuzukiTruck
