Hello! Thanks for your videos. Do you have a source for the smaller (6-pin) cluster connectors? I bought a couple of clusters - one 16 pin and one 12 pin. I found the 16 and 12 pin connectors but I can't find any of the 6-pin. I've been searching eBay and the Japan auctions for a while now and still stuck. I might end up trying to cut up a 12 pin to make two 6 pin but that wouldn't be ideal.
Epic video, can you please tell me the bulb size for the bumper lights. I see two bulbs but can I use the same size for both sockets? Thanks for your time
@RHD_Ron great video thanks. You sound like you might be in the south....are you for hire to perform this service? I'm in GA and am looking for someone who can do a timing belt service for a Honda Beat.
I appreciate your content Ron, but I see you haven't made many videos lately. With the uptick in interest for the kei trucks, do you plan to make more videos? I recently purchased a Subaru Sambar, and intend to make several of these upgrades, but finding instructional videos is challenging.
thats cool I like how you did it with leaving the crank bolt on. interesting watching different vids and seeing little differences in technique and approach. time lapses were cool too. thanks
Hey, does your beat make a whining sound when the engine is hot at operating temperature? Some say that it is normal or might be. I managed to locate it maybe around the lower timing belt cover area. Maybe going to try to adjust the belt tension
Hey Ron! My engine is running rich and fouling my new spark plugs every time i try to start it up. It starts and struggles to stay on till it just shuts off. I changed out both solenoids and cleaned out a majority of the carburetor. It’s been sitting for a month now and I’ve replaced both solenoids, fuel filter, igniter, head valve gasket, spark plugs w/ wires, distributor o-rings, cap, and rotor. I just bought the carb gasket kit
I did my timing belt job. However when I lined up the tick mark on the crank pulley with the plastic cover prior to removal.The Camshaft tick marks lined up correctly too. HOWEVER, the UP was facing down. Reassmebled as I took it apart and runs fine. Odd that my UP was facing down. Thoughts?
So I got a acty with a tac installed off the truck. It's a 96 w/ a/c and a fancy wheel, shifter and a brown dash. Is that a model or someone installed that overseas? Just trying to figure out what model acty I have.
Really great vid as was your timing belt one. Only critique I might have is maybe did the Imperial Japanese flag. It represents war crimes and atrocities committed against a lot of people including US servicemen and woman. It is normally reserved in Japan for ultra-nationalist groups. It’s akin to having a Germany WWII flag in video about working on a Mercedes Benz.
Thank you for that feedback. I was not aware of the meaning of the flag so I appreciate you letting me know. It will not be in any future videos I may make and I will see if I can edit out in existing videos.
Thanks again for your input and putting together such an informative video! I ended up picking up a set of Liquid Metal Atom 14" 5.5 steel wheels with 35mm offset and Falcon Sincera 165 /65 R14, both from Discount Tire. They fit perfectly, no rubbing with stock height and the ride is so much smoother.
What are your thoughts on going with alloy or steel wheels? I've found both in 14" x 5.5 and I'm wondering if one offers a better ride quality on the Acty. Thanks in advance for your response and thanks for all your great videos!
Hey man! Really dont think youd notice a ride quality difference with steel vs alloy since the trucks are so light. However the weight of the steel wheel will put a minor increased load on the little truck’s 39 hp! Haha.
@@rhd_ron Thanks! According to the specs, the steel wheels are .5lbs heavier than the aluminum ones. I'm leaning to the steel wheels mostly because I like the look a little more.
I missed it did you all have a reserved camping spot or did you just show up and get one? We're planning to go this year but don't have a reserved spot. Want to get there Wed morning and hopefully find a spot.
Working on the backup camera also, could you share what you connected the red wire which is attached to the video in backup cable at the radio to? Direct 12v wire perhaps? Thanks again.
I got wheels that have a lug pattern of 4x101.6. they seem to be pretty centered. Its 2wd so theres no place for centric rings to help. Got a bad wobble at 40 mph. been told torsion bushings and or center link. any insight?
Hi Ron, I see you had some challenges like I am. I got the AC duct cover off finally but can't get to the 2 screws. Any tips? Looks like you used a socket but I can't seem to get on the screw. Thanks for your great videos!
Has anybody else had trouble removing the 10mm bolts on the alternator pulley? I can't get mine to come loose due to the pulley rotating when I attempt to remove the bolts
@@rhd_ron I may have named it wrong, the part in the video that you point it out is 5:40, though I will mention my '96 Acty has another cover to the right of that pulley with another belt connected to it at about a 45° angle. I didn't take it off tonight I plan on doing that tomorrow but maybe that has something to do with it.
@@rhd_ron well it turns out the belt that goes to the right is for the AC compressor and I ended up needing an impact wrench to get the bolts off the crankshaft pulley without it rotating
Can you please tell me where you got te37s 14x5, the first wheels you showed on the truck, those are the kind of been looking for but can’t find them anywhere
How is this an “attack”? Looks just like the regular permanent 4wd model to me…..but what would I know, I’m only doing an engine swap on one as we speak…..
Attacks look almost identical to standard 4wd models. You can normally check the shifter in the cab for the lock out pull, the UL for ultra low, and the diff lock button on the dash.
