Japanese mini trucks

[Mister Donut]

On CGN it's ok to use derogatory and bigoted language. Nothing like perpetuating the stereotype of the redneck racist gun owner.
In all seriousness the term jap was and is a fairly racist term. There was lots of racism against he Japanese in this country. 60 years later they deserve a lot more respect than this.

The $hit I see on CGN used to blow my mind, but now I'm not even surprised. At least the OP fixed the thread title.

I'm not convinced that a mini truck is as capable as a quad or even a side x side but I have to admit that I was surprise after watching some youtube videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-MO5cipULo

I agree 100%.

"Jap" is equivalent to "Chink" and "######".

Avoid its use, please.

Get a life!

Pretty big wheels with aggressive tread and pretty tiny looking diffs. How do they, the bearings and axles hold up?

Last summer I had a "Japadog" made fresh by young Japanese people. Basically a hotdog with Japanese toppings.... it would seem that modern Japanese are not offended by the Jap in Jap a dog.
Maybe they have moved on? Racism and hatred is all in how things are said not what is said.

I remember when the first Suzuki's came here and people laughed, now they are sought over. The little trucks remind me of the Haflinger

One needs to be careful with the little "cab-over" models when coming down steep hills with two big guys sitting over the front axle/pivot point.... gets a little hairy when you touch the brakes and the rear end starts to lift off the ground.....

The original designers never considered the mass of the average north american?

I could only imagine the thought. The back wheels lifting on a forklift is uncomfortable, but your description would exceed that feeling I think. At least you're stationary in a forklift.

well, son-of-a-gun, I was just scrolling through the satellite TV guide, guess what was listed on the Documentary channel (336)? If you guessed "Real Injun" you're right! It's a real legit TV show. Looky, you may have been "shunned" if you were infracted for that!
