- In this video I do more modifications to my JDM Suzuki Carry Kei truck.
Carb work, exhaust work, replaced all the cooling lines with silicon, bumper work.
I also TIG welded and modified an aluminum radiator from a side by side to fit my Kei truck.
At the end of the video we do some 4x4 off-roading with the Honda Acty attack and my Suzuki Carry 4WD.

One of the hardest working men on CZcams. Thanks for making content without swearing, look forward to watching your adventures with my little guy soon!
Thanks ask much for saying that! I appreciate it so much 👍
Y'all are having WAY too much fun with those lil trucks!
I know they a pretty awesome little trucks
Bend every 3rd tooth out on a 2 1/8” hole saw to make it a 2 1/4! Another great video Mike. Thx
Drummer with a welding helmet.
That was so awesome 👍👍👍
Haha 😂 he loves playing drums and hanging out in the shop! 🙂👍
素晴らしいカスタム動画をありがとうございます。
kei truck の多くは農家の必需品として愛用されてきました。
やはり舗装されて無い大自然の中を駆け抜けて行く姿がとても良く似合うと感じました。
Thanks for checking out my new video 🙂👍 I really like these Kei trucks, it’s nice to know they are still going strong after 30 years of use. Well built trucks 👍 Japanese vehicles are great!
Can’t beat that Mike Festiva 👍 means he’s having blast!
Great video! All CZcamsrs need to study your techniques. Text at bottom👍🏾 good music👍🏾 fab tips 👍🏾
Thank you Omar!!!
Thanks Omar! I really appreciate it man 🙂👍
My work just bought a Mitsubishi dump from Duncan imports. It’s replacing a John Deere gator. It’s the best thing to run around a college campus in to do grounds work.
Fantastic content, as usual! Love these adventure and maintenance combo videos. Looking forward the next one! Thank you, Mike!
Thanks for watching!!!
Dear Mike festiva.
👍👌👏 Another great video! I love the micro pickup truck video series.
By the way: Congrats for not smoking, swearing, drinking in public respectively in your videos. 2) For dealing with the new carb and radiator, one definitely needs some knowledge and skills. Congrats for having both. I will check out your brothers channel now.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Manual choke is so much better.. Nice move
Great video Mike!
Glad to see that the mods added to the overall performance of the vehicle.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mike, I first found your channel when I was looking for mig welder reviews. Since then I have binge-watched your channel countless times. Thank you for your effort an great content! Love your channel and helpful insight!
Thanks Michael! I really appreciate it 👍🙂 I have a lot of different topics I cover on my channel, I like keeping things interesting, I have found that my subscribers aren’t watching my videos as much anymore, I have found that YT doesn’t notify a large group of my subscribers when I post new videos now, I think this is because my channel has different topics and content.
I definitely appreciate having loyal subscribers like you that enjoy a wide range of my videos! Thank you 😊
My travels in Vietnam introduced me to the hard working Suzuki kei trucks and vans. Still plenty of them on the roads and trails today. Keep the direct drive fan. Less to go wrong on the trail.
endless smiles ...... fab'n, fix'n and cruising. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks for checking out my new video Joel! 🙂👍
Nearly all the trucks going to the US didn’t pass the Japanese inspection for many years (tenken).I think it’s something to be well aware of. The cracked hoses, and dodgy lines are a sign that this truck wasn’t road legal in Japan for many years, maybe more than 10+ and likely was used as a beater/farm truck only. It’s nice seing the truck get loved
Love your mentality when it comes to this build.
Simple and functional.
The smaller tires may function a little better for daily driving, but the bigger ones definitely looked cooler.
Thanks for the inspiration! I nee to do all the same for mine! I pulled it in the garage yesterday to dig in to the head gasket.
Stick a 'led load resistor' on the blinkers or indicators lol (one per side) and it will stop that 'short fast' blinks (that flash rate wouldn't be legal here in Australia)... Looking good, I use to drive the little carry utes here when I was an apprentice, they were popular in the railway maintenance departments...
Yes!! Happy to hear your son's drum break!!
Haha he loves playing the drums! 🙂👍
That little truck is awesome. Nice mods. If you had a locking rear diff. oh man!
great to see you again
Thanks Tim 👍🙂
Good video Mike! You have really got that running good now! You and your brother sure find some good places to run those trucks! Going to check out his channel!
I kind of like his headware for edware for playing drums a welding helmet can he even see the drums with that thing on He's taken after like father from like son have an excellent day
Like the ladder rack you made, makes the truck much more useful to have around.
Nice! Tubing bender! Carbs also imported again always in the Philippines great! I like your modification, i envy you 😊🙏🤙🇵🇭
Little beastie seems to do quite well with the new carb.
Love your work 👍
Thanks! I appreciate it 👍🙂
Another awesome video. It was awesome seeing your kiddo on the drums.
Great video, love the information to fun switch, so jealous of the “forgotten” bunkers…
Luv the look of the new tires
Thanks for checking out my videos Jason 👍 yes these tires work much better and looks pretty good 😊
Mike the mods especially the rad & electric fan will show performance advances quickly. The locking differential is a must.
Love these videos, your aluminium radiator is a work of art !
Manual choke for the win.
Really good idea replacing the hoses and plastic T's 👍
You'll get another 5hp with an electric fan !
Your Tacho looks awesome 😆
These little trucks were super popular on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido. The snowfall there is some of the highest in the world.
PS: The "just punch it !" technique can work really well for tiny trucks, they're harder to break because of the very light weight and lower stress on driveline components 😆
Thanks for checking out my new Kei truck video! I really like my little Suzuki 👍🙂 Great dependable truck, on the weekends when I’m not commuting I tend to only drive it, especially with the gas prices. Take care Edward 🙂
Those things look like alot of fun
I've been looking at one of these mini trucks for a long time! I may be retiring to a rule area once again such as Central Oregon! So they've been something I've been highly interested in, if I may make a comment the one thing I would do, not only a locking rear diff! I would also think about the possibility of a 4-link or a triangulated 4 Link! The easy way to do it depending upon the loads you want to carry, is to remove one of the strongest lower leaves of the rear spring packs! The one with the most starch in it. Cuz I did notice the set of overloads we're not connected! Since it has the long rear shackles the little bit of lift as you mentioned in your previous videos oh, I think a softer rear pack would work very well! As far as a multi-link situation as I mentioned earlier there is such a variety of side-by-side shocks and small coilovers that could be easily adapted with your skills which are impressive mind you thank you for the series of these videos I am enjoying them immensely
Love your upgrading the Susuki kie truck. The upgrade adds what you want while keeping the cost within reason. Would love to see mini van Susuki kie style made into a safari style.
Add a resistor to the indicators. You can probably get away with just two in the blinker wiring. It will eliminate the fast blinking.
Great video Mike can’t wait to see the next video already!
Mike, my dad built a tractor with a Toyota 1200cc engine. He had trouble with the carb, so he opted for a VW beetle carb, and it ran well for him. He said that he wanted it simple to operate, so he was satisfied with it.
Thanks awesome!!!
Great little truck. Those carbs remind me of the s.u. ones fitted to Austin Metro here in Britain in 1980's, which were auto choke. Never worked right so many were retro fitted with manual cable operated units.
Sweet mini truck.
Nice work! FYI, you can put a resistor inline to slow the signals down.
«Hope you enjoyed the video.» Yes, sir! I did..! Pleased to see next gen is coming along..welding helmet at the drums 👍 Great! The kids are growing to fast..mine are adults allready.
The more you work on the carb, the more I want one with EFI, lol. I'm kinda done with carbs and non-electronic ignition. 😎✌️
I hear you man 👍 EFI is definitely nice, lucky this truck has electronic ignition.
Thanks for checking out my videos 😊
@@Mikefestiva I like how yours looks and how your brothers works, lol.
It's nice to see a REAL passion.
👍
You really have some of the best content on youtube, I'd love to see you put a predator 420cc on a streetbike frame and make it practical for street use... maybe mod up something for your little guy to ride with you... I put my kid on a 4 wheeler at 4 years old and he did great on it!
Damn that Honda is clean!
Love these japanese mini trucks.
My dream car ... I always dreaming have pickup carry like that 😄
They are really cool little trucks 👍
I use mine all the time 🙂
Thanks for checking out my channel!
Awesome upgrades - love making it more simple and more reliable. I have been messing with my carburetor for about a year and I still can’t get consistent performance! It is also a manual choke version that was added before I got the truck. I have worked on the air / fuel settings, but never tried different jetting - Going to take another look at it soon! Keep the great videos coming!
Thank you!!
That Honda though!
Hey Mike Good Job on this Project Thanks .Great Video .
Thanks 👍 I really like this little truck 🙂
Hey Mike. Thanks for the update, always glad when you post another video. You have done a lot of stuff to this mini truck. It's really a handy little beast in my mind.
Thanks for checking out my new video Ants 🙂👍 It’s a great little truck and it’s becoming really reliable now!
Awesome informative video !!! In some future you could work on one trailer hitch , I have 1996 Suzuki Carry ! Thanks
I really like what you've done to yours so far.
My friend also has the pre production yeswelder and we love it!!!
add a power resistor with heat sink into the turn signals led circuit. that solves the fast flashing bulb out mode, since led's are such low resistance the flasher module thinks an incandescent bulbs burnt out
Another great video Mike...really enjoy the insight you provide...useful modifications..thanks for sharing
Thank you!!!
Great video man, so much fun! Looking forward to more mini truck trips. That new carb was a huge improvement 👍
Thanks for the video! 👍 good entertainment as always! You could build some trackmats or sandladders i think they are called in english? Nice to have on the bed when you are driving solo! 👌
Thanks for checking out my new video Marcus 🙂👍
Definitely a good suggestion.
I have a small set of traction boards but forgot them that day.
I've been having problems with my truck randomly sputtering to the point where you can't even drive, then poof, it runs perfect 🤔 I was looking at those carbs, might just cut the the case and change it out. My bumper lights were busted up when I got it, so I picked up some Chineseum trailer lights, never got the running light to work 🤷♂️ but I have turn signals at least. Been thinking about selling it and getting a 4x4 Acty... 2wd sucks! Also a 5th gear would change my life 😆 Great vid once again! 👍
Oh ya, also I don't run a shrowd ether. Even pull my fan off in the winter with my bigger radiator to keep it warm
What year is your truck? Mine is a 1990 with an electronic ignition, a subscriber have an 89 Carry and it’s got points ignition, I wonder if it’s carb or ignition, does it sputter more when it’s extra wet out? If so that could be something to look into?
Thanks for checking out my new video!
Do you have any new videos coming out soon?
It's a 91 carry, it's hard to tell if it's carb or ignition. Cap and rotor look tip top 🤷♂️ I purchased a new fuel pump a while back but never installed it knowing it's not likely the issue (BTW the pump is the same as a Honda Vmagnum or whatever they were called, you can get them for $40 instead of 4x that) the problem is VERY sporadic and didn't happen for almost a year, tho I only drive it once a month if that.
Got a stock pile, probably gonna sit down this weekend and edit! If you haven't checked out the last video it's pretty funny, I fell Clear through a kitchen floor 😆😆😆
Great content
Thanks Lloyd
Thanks 😊
I like your videos, used this one to change out my carb
Right on 🙂👍
man i love this thing, i wanna get one so bad.
that truck needs an efi conversion. and a turbo!
A little turbo diesel engine in this truck would be so sweet
Or a deutz 3 cylinder
Great Video
Hey there Mr Festiva! You say that you want a locker in the rear end and that it had one from the factory which makes me want to ask what kind of locker was it? Are you going to put one up front as well? Thanks for the mini pinz man that’s how I discovered your channel I mean c’mon, who makes a mini pinz? Mike will, he’ll build anything! 🤣
As always nice work. Fun!!! I want one. But can’t be messing with as you do. Awesome job
rock on bro.....your a bit of a giver boy when real designing comes into effect, hi five ya, Mike.
Mike Festiva you are an absolute inspiration!!!! Great Video!!! And That hobo wax mug got me hyped too!!! These videos give me confidence to dive in and DIY every time :) have a great day my friend!!!!
Right on Dave 👍 Thanks for checking out my new video!
I try to get the Hobo wax mug into some of my videos 🙂
I’m really looking forward to showing you how to weld soon 👍
I swapped to the grizzly 660 carburetor. Gotta delete the intake manifold coolant ports that go to the old carburetor. Works great. $60 with manual choke. The blinker lights up top are called cheek lights BTW.
I looked into swapping a Grizzly carb but I wanted to retain the vacuum advance port on the carb. I eliminated the vacuum advance on an old Datsun 510 I have, I installed dual side draft Weber carbs but they didn’t have a vacuum advance port, it took me a bit to sort out the timing.
Thanks for checking out my new video Brandon 👍🙂
@@Mikefestiva I have a version of that carburetor with vacuum advance. And manual choke. ONE ADJUSTMENT 👍💕.
This is a shot in the dark but if the truck is fighting you in 4x4 even on looser terrain like gravel you might want to check both the front and rear gearing. When someone took out the locking differential they might have thrown in one with different gearing. I bought a truck once that the guy complained about same problem and it turned out he put a 4.10 front in but truck had 3.73 rear so I swapped front out with junkyard 3.73 axle.
Yes definitely a possibility, I have been thinking the same thing, I’m in the process of trying to track down a matching set of diffs because I really think this could be a possibility. Hopefully I can find a rear locker soon 👍 Thanks for commenting.
Jack truck up.placea mark on both driveshafts and one tire on front and rear. Spin drivetrain or a tire with opposing tire locked down since you haven't any locked diffs.. Divide the driveshaft rotation into the tire rotation for gear ratios... If the same then you have 2 open diffs and might want to either learn brake modulation or add lockers,limited slips, or weld up the side/spider gears for a Lincoln locker for the go anywhere and show up brother mod....😁
Nice work as always Mike. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent video as always Mike keep up the awesome work
Welcome to the club man, works an upgrades never stops on suzukis. Congrats
I see you have rear lift shackles, and a lack of articulation. What I did on my 1996 Carry was swap the rear leaf springs with a set from the rear of a Suzuki Samurai. Got them used off Craigslist and replaced all the bushings. Then took the leaf packs apart and swapped the overload leafs from the Carry to the Samurai springs. Now I have 1.5” inches of lift over stock on the stock shackles. Got some longer shocks and it’s an easy upgrade.
Good stuff Mike. Those seem like a lot of fun. Nice little project.
Thanks for checking out my new video Michael 🙂👍
Looking forward to your review of the Yeswelder.
I wonder how the Acty compares to the Carry offroad. I know the Honda is AWD, meanwhile the Carry is 4WD. Main reason I lost interest in the Honda was for that reason alone, but it seemed to do fine
Awesome little truck. Killer videos on this process.
Thanks Jeff 👍🙂
Just watching rich rebuilds on Joe Rogan. Rich is explaining what kei trucks are, and when they google image them, the first result they pull up is your truck!
Right on! Thanks for mentioning this 🙂👍
Awesome,
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on these cool mini trucks.
Thanks for checking out my videos Alec 😊👍
This is such a cool build man! Really is. You have transformed this thing big time.
Thanks Keith! I really appreciate it 👍
I drive this little truck all the time.
Well built trucks.
Have a good weekend Keith!
Nice!... looks like a locking diff is comming to town....
Hopefully soon! I have been trying to track one down 👍🙂
very nice and fun watching u modify the truck
Nice video. Like the family vibes and the mellow music!
appreciate it Chris 👍
Right on! Thanks Chris! 🙂👍
Honda power 💪🔥 .
I would love to see this lil sweet suzuki runs with a 1500cc injection engine 😍
Won’t be long before you have a whole new truck. Everything looks so easy, I’ll bet there is some frustration edited out. I’m a cusser and a screamer, myself!
Hey Mike - had the same hyperflashing turn signal issues as you seem to be having with your suzuki on my 95' daihatsu. Installed some resistors to return to normal flashing speeds (voltage was too low for the system to 'recognize' the new LED bulbs), but I think you can also swap out the flasher unit itself for a more robust solution. Love the kei truck (and panz) content!
I'm just glad your the one that has to wash the damn thing ; )
Haha 😂
I just want to let you know that I plan on getting one of these trucks in the next year or so. I will definitely be referring to these videos if I have any issues. Love the build. Great work
Right on 👍
@@Mikefestiva do you think for a stock mini truck that a Honda Acty Attack is better than your Suzuki Carry?
I really like the idea of replacing the mechanical fan with electric, everything I've been reading says you must greatly increase the alternator output to handle the additional load of the electric fan(s). I will eventually be doing a conversion on my Silverado 1500, if I get lucky and find a Suburban at a Pick N Pull with the factory electric fan set up including the higher output alternator and all related parts it will make it like bolt on. Have you decided how you are going to turn the electric fans on, if it will be manual or by a thermal switch? PS I like this series on the kei trucks.
Great video Mike, really digging the mini trucks.
Thanks Tom! I sure like these trucks 👍
On the weekends when I’m not driving long distances for work I mostly only drive my little Suzuki Truck 🙂
They look like alot of fun..You did a great job on Carb and radiator..Great Video... Its awesome You and Your brother hang out together. I used to with mine all the time. Until I quit drinking and loaned him money. We dont hang out at all anymore. I broke the Golden Rule Dont loan money To Family...UGH...LOL.Its the Truth though unfortunately..
Thanks for checking out my new Kei truck video Thomas 🙂👍
I really appreciate having loyal subscribers like you!
My brother and I definitely have good times doing this kind of stuff together. 🙂 Sorry to hear about you and your brother man that’s a bummer, one good thing that came out of that is you quit drinking 👍
Hopefully you guys can work things out at some point, as you know life is short, but sometimes it’s really hard to patch things up.
Take care buddy 😊
@@Mikefestiva Thank You Mike. Yeah life is really Short..Ive been Sober for almost 12 years now. Though the way this Country is heading I dont know if its Worth it anymore. With what We have in Washington...LOL..HAHA..That would make anyone want to Drjnk
..LOL..HAHA..Though Its been this long may as well keep at it...LOL.. Thanks for replying back Sir. Have a Good evening. Stay Safe....
