Picture this: You've just chopped down a tree on your palatial estate using nothing but an axe and your bare hands. Even the log splitting was done by hand because your Harbor Freight log splitter broke the first time you used it. Now you need to transport the timber a few miles away and you cringe at the thought of denting the pristine painted bed of your $50k turbo diesel Duramaxstroke powered F3500 SuperDuty. Plus you'd need a ladder to get stuff into the bed after that lift kit and 33 inch super swamper tires...so...you look for another alternative. The Polaris Rzr you bought last summer? Nah, still too nice and expensive. Hey, what about that JDM mini-truck you bought on a lark a few years back? Find this
1990 Diahatsu Hi-Jet Mini Truck for sale in Bigfork, MT for $2,500 via craigslist.
The Daihatsu HiJet is a truck of many virtues. It's mostly at home hauling small loads around small obstacles while consuming small amounts of fuel. They're cheap. They're illegal on highways in most states, which is a moot point given their low top speeds. Now, a methed-out MacGyver has spliced the rear half of a "Gixxer" with a HiJet, at the expense of a few of those virtues (payload and 4WD) while adding a new one: 100 mph and beyond. Find this Half 1990 Daihatsu HiJet, half 1994 Suzuki GSX600r for sale in St. Cloud, MN for $2,500 via craigslist.
