[jory11kehler]

Is hat in the sandylands?

[MiniBrutes]

@jory11kehler Sandilands by winnipeg? No, this is the Nesbit Forest just north of Saskatoon, SK.

[dudeitsknate]

no straight axle??? :(

[MiniBrutes]

@dudeitsknate Not on the front. The rear is on many though. (Honda and Subaru are not solid rear)

[sakogu]

@theknightman25 you can if you live in canada, they are street insurable here, if you live in the states, i think only in a few states that allow offroad vehicles street plates you would be allowed, but there generally speed restricted upon importation

[MiniBrutes]

@sakogu You are completely correct. Of course most americans "illegally" remove the speed restrictions. Yay for Canada!

[TheKnightman25]

can you drive them on the street

[Shrapnelist]

I want to do it to my Suzuki Carry! AWESOME

[Trevorisbeast1]

I'm 13 and I just bought one of these. ( I mow lawns lol ) does anyone know of lift kits for these?

[MiniBrutes]

@Trevorisbeast1 Yes, lift kits are available for most models. Stick with a 2" unless you want to do major custom fabbing or dont mind replacing front axles a couple times a year. (Any more than 2" without proper driveline modifications causes extreme stress and wear on the CV joints)

[superpizzaboy7]

fuck the yamaha im buyin one of these........ and putting 20'' truck tires on it :D

[MiniBrutes]

@superpizzaboy7 I have seen 33" on them, however anything bigger than a 25" overall diameter will require extensive modifications, and anything over 23" in overall diameter causes extreme power loss. For street use, the stock diameter (about 21") is best, with up to 23" still being pretty good. 25's on the street are a dog, however not as noticable off road.

[MrXtream123]

whats the range?

[MiniBrutes]

@MrXtream123 Price range? Distance range on a tank of fuel?

[MrXtream123]

@MiniBrutes both

[K31TH3R]

Had no idea these trucks were capable of that. Great video!

[MiniBrutes]

@K31TH3R Thanks. Tons of fun. Thats why we made this video. We went through and over anything we could find. They certainly exceeded our expectations the first time out. Most people dont understand how capable they actually are. Its great.

[Joniel120]

Is there mini-trucks in Germany?

[MiniBrutes]

@Joniel120 I know there are some. I think there is a Daewoo there. Also, the Subaru version in a minivan format is available as the Libero.

[fmxinsane]

where is this? is there a forum where i can join? thanks

[coolpat71]

you could check with japanoid.com in BC canada. they carry parts for mini trucks as well as sales

[brapboys503]

These would make some bad ass little deer huntin rigs.

[Guyll21]

I seen one these get thoroughly trashes in about 12 hours of wheeling. Even though they are half the price they definately aren't up to the kind of stuff something like a Yamaha Rhino can handle. Keep them away from rocks. Good for dirt roads though.

[MiniBrutes]

@Guyll21 But I have seen Rhinos get trashed in ten minutes ;)

[thedanned]

So freaking cool!

[Sofa3301]

Cute

[MiniBrutes]

@skidR90

No, they are different. We DO have daihatsu front struts. Check out our MiniBrutes website and shoot me an email!

[xxfroobxx]

they are everywhere ! FUCCCCK

[0505abab]

you know ford made a pinto too dont get a bonner over them too

[josephusHJ]

these things are tough .. . .

[G1NZOU]

Awesome, I'm a Land Rover fan but these guys are the shit.

Cheap, reliable and no Japanese parking permit needed, perfect little trucks.

[joe9320]

We have plenty of those in Southeast Asia. Many farmers used them for carrying cargo and people. So for Americans who wanted one of these, I recommend a left-hand drive one.

[CowboyPenner]

I guess they're all manual transmissions?

[MiniBrutes]

@CowboyPenner

Nope, auto is available, however quite rare, especially in 4WD. (2wd auto is much more common)

[fmxinsane]

too bad there is none of this here in portugal :(

[ap0c8]

all it is a side by side enclose with heat

[gregb12345]

Nice

can you get the 4wd models in UK

[MiniBrutes]

@gregb12345

Yes, I have seen them in the UK. Mainly the van style, but I have seen the pickups.

[HotHeadCJ]

those littles thing are in JA, I never knew they had any use

[MrHorty88]

can you buy a 4x4 one in the uk??

[panooseVideo]

ive got a suzuki carry too

[laflamme714]

il do that with my scooter

[JWM0001]

I've got a Suzuki Carry. I've got an indicator light on when I try to crank up that seems to suggest something is overheated. I when I try to crank the engine, all I get is a clicking noise no cranking at all. Anybody got a clue what I need to do? I had this problem before, but this happened when I overworked the vehicle with a trailer. I let it cool off and it worked fine. Now, a few weeks later, I've got the same indicator light going off, but the engine is cold. What's up?

[MiniBrutes]

2WD Is available, however 4WD is pretty much the only thing people want. Thanks for the link!

Trucks vary as far as pluses and minuses. Each model has an advantage and a disadvantage.

Overall they are all decent depending on your desired use. Suzuki And Daihatsu are our favorite for off road and Subaru and Honda are our favorites for on-road units.

For you Canadians, we also import all kind of unique vehicles from Asia, not just MiniBrutes!

[GunsAndAmmo67]

Badass! I'm thinking of buying one of those instead of a new quad. Is 4x4 standard on all these types of trucks? I posted a link to your website on my webpage...

[mopar8903]

im thinking of buying a mini truck and i was woudering if one brand is better then another ?

[ShadowtheRotarygod]

Daihatsu Hijet is the standard but they are all good.

[axelbrinck1]

cool tires!

[viperd911]

i would still take my quad over that any day

[98snakeeater]

kickass!!

[thestuffz]

Fun Fun1!
