I been using that same brand( they come in 3 cca ratings) in my 2.3 accord and in my wife s 05 1.7l civic. Absolutely NO PROBLEMS! People dont realize that most 4 bangers can crank and run just fine on these batteries which cost $35 to $55 after exchange and taxes. Why would you pay $150 to $200 on the OEM spec battery when you get the same lifepan of 3 to 5 years out of these, which can also be used in the lawn tractor. DUH. STICK IT TO THE MAN
Great video, did you go through an importer to get it here? If so, can you recommend the company? May be headed back stateside and want to grab on if I do, I'll miss the one I currently drive if I ahve to head back.
Glad you liked the video! Yes, I used JapanCarDirect to bid on vehicles at auction. When I won they handled the export and sent me all the paperwork's. On state side, I used EasyISF to handle all the paperwork. Once everything is filed and fees and tax are paid they give you the Delivery order and that was all I needed at Freeport to get the vehicle. I've read other ports were more difficult to deal with but I had a good experience at Freeport.
@@mistertyspy thank you. The only drawback to living/working over here is that if the job finishes, you ahve to leave. But if I can retrieve a piece of this life stateside, it's a little easier to take. LOL
Glad you guys decided to turn back. Safety always first. My husband & I climbed to the top May 30 but it was grueling. The majority of the trail was not visible as it was covered in snow. Many hikers blazed their own trail. As amateurs, we followed their path. There were many slips, falls, sinking knee deep into soft snow and losing our way a few times. Was it worth it? Absolutely! The views are beyond spectacular! Do I recommend? Only when the snow is completely melted. Happy Hiking!
The return trips for the camera!! 😂😂 I don’t make videos but seeing what you did to make this video - much respect! Thank you for the extra steps!! 😂👍❤️🙏
I've heard horror stories of people importing their cars from overseas. When the cars arrived it had missing, broken, swapped out components that was *not* part of the car when originally seen and purchased. Yes, the buyer personally went to Japan to see and test drive the car. Purchased it and paid an importer to ship it over. When the car arrived there VIN may have matched but the car had been modified from its condition when purchased. *BOTH TIMES* The buyer imported 2 cars at separate times and they both got dropped off messed up. Which companies are we supposed to trust?
yep I've read some crazy stories on FB groups. You definitely have to vet your broker. Look for a reputable company. Even then you might still encounter problems with all these different companies handling the import. Might be better just buying cars already imported.
I just used a ratchet strapped around the axles. There were anchor points on each corner of the utility trailer. The rear was easy to put on but not much room to work with in the front.
Noticed you’re in Texas. I am, too, and I just bought one of these. Did you have any issues registering her in Texas? Mine currently has a New Jersey title.
@@mistertyspy Correct, should be a simple title transfer since it’s already titled in America. You never know though. They’ll probably still freak when they see the short VIN.🙄 Thanks for the response!
Just bought my 95 4x4 acty, waiting for it to ship. Picking it up at Freeport as well. Do you not need a certified driver to show you to your car in this port?
Nope. You find it in the lot and drive it to the tent for them to check. At least that is the procedure. Mines was in the other lot so they had someone get it for me and handle the check so we didn't need to go to the tent. We just drove it out once I got it.
Any chance you brought the Acty out there to check out some of the backroad trails/camping? I'm hoping to bring mine on a trailer to Big Bend, Palo Duro, and maybe some spots in Southeast Oklahoma.
No just the jeep. That would be an interesting trip. I havn't gone anywhere an hour away with the acty but towing should be fine. I haven't really prepped it for the off roads.
Thank you for this video!! Exactly what I needed to see. I am making a series fixing up my acty and I will prob make a video soon and shoutout your channel! Super helpful.
Did you file everything yourself or did you go with an import broker? I live in Texas too and I'm looking at getting a van soon and all the paperwork just seems daunting
I used easy isf to handle the import paperwork. Once all the invoice was paid off they will provide you the delivery order that was the only document needed for me to pick up at freeport
@@mistertyspy so once you pay for the car easy isf handles all the other forms until it's time for you pick it up? I saw there were documents like DOT HS-7 and EPA forms to fill out too. Does easy isf handle those as well?
I put this on my truck, along with some of those stupid reindeer antlers and a big red rudolph nose. All the kids in the neighborhood absolutely love it!
Thanks for shooting this video. We bought a class A Newmar and a Jeep Wrangler to pull around the country. Finding videos, like yours, about Jeep things is super awesome. Do you have an Amazon or Jeep affiliate account? I'd rather buy it from a site that someone did a video on the item :). Thanks Mister Ty!!
I have a local guy in Houston that I have used to get parts for the truck. His IG @thatguymichael you can ask him what you need and he can give you some quotes. He actually helped me get info to get my truck registered. Tell him Mister Ty sent you.
