With a full tank of fuel and no-one inside, the truck stop scale reports 1642 kg total (914 front, 698 rear). We have the stock alloy wheels and the CD-changer radio without navigation. (Some apparently had steel wheels.)

I'm curious what the need is for the exact weight?

thank you so much, let's start with something on everyone's mind, how much does your car weigh, can you get it weighed for us please?


The gross weight rating on the plate is 2111 kg. I looked for the dry weight in the factory service manual, but I didn't see it. The internet thinks it's about ...

We drive a 2008 Camry Hybrid as our daily, so let me know if you need any measurements or data captures in vivo.

Man! I wish I'd seen your site first! I've already started making my own stub axles. When I first started planning the project, I realized I could save a pretty huge chunk if I made my own splined shafts, so I tooled up. I am not enjoying this part of the process so far, but getting setup to make ...

I'm excited to see how you get along with this. I have a Daihatsu Hijet that I might want to convert someday, but it comes with a conventional live axle and all the pakaging problems that entails. I was actually thinking of using a stock Acty rear axle turned backwards, which lets me build a motor ...

The outlander rear motor is alot smaler than the leaf and would still provide more torque than stock motor/gearbox (59*2,8). Connect it directly to transfere case an retain hi/low gear. How much room for batteries would there be left then?


It should be technically possible, but it does look a ...

where are you located? in the us? outlander stuff is in the us now, and has been in canada for a bit. with some hunting you can find it for cheap!

im not sure what you problem with parking brake is. how the oems create the user interface dose not matter here.

is the shifter an auto shifter with ...

why not an outlander rear drive unit? slightly better gearing than the gearbox leaf for your smaller wheels, lighter weight and you wont need to run it backwards.


It was actually my first choice, even though I would probably have to import one from overseas. I moved away from it because Leafs ...

Love those tiny trucks!
How about a Nissan Leaf motor connected directly to the propshaft. I belive the rear axle is approx 5:1 and the motor produces about the same torque as stock ICE in first gear. You can alwas limit max power.


You know, I didn't really consider this, but it does actually ...

I know that converting RWD vehicles with solid axles can be a challenge, and this one is more so than usual.

I looked into chopping the solid axle and adding a second set of bearings to hold a custom stub shaft, but the CV axles would have been absurdly short.

A custom De Dion axle would work, but ...

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce my (potential) project, a 1997 Daihatsu Hijet truck I imported from Japan a few years back.

It's a lot of fun to drive and just as useful as most modern pickups as far as carrying things in the bed goes. This is the fanciest version they sold ...

I now get the 'copy document' screen, and have successfully made a copy! Thank you for getting it sorted for us.

Apps Script gives me nostalgia. I wrote a bunch of it for work years ago to generate documents and such. We'll be moving away from Google Workspace within months, so it will all go away ...

Thank you for your work on this! Interestingly, I can view the spreadsheet on mobile, but like muehlpower 'Make a Copy' is greyed out. On desktop, I get this:
I am signed into my Google account on both devices.

Hello,

I've been lurking here and reading about people's projects for a year or two now. It's probably time to join and contribute a little.

I've wanted to EV convert a vehicle since the late 90s, but either the cost or performance have been a big drawback until recently. The breakthroughs in CCS ...
