For those times when your Suzuki Mighty Boy’s bed is just too large.

I like this Mini face lift, and the regular cab doubles the bed size.

There are others as well. Here’s Subarus effort.

Wait...is that factory, because that looks surprisingly well-done?

The wiki article said it was factory built in Thailand.

A few farmers in the vineyards around our old place used to use Mira’s as farm trolleys because they fit between the rows. Most were modified by removing much of the roof and the rear tailgate. One, however, had the bottom section of the tailgate welded back in and an internal/external roll cage fitted. It was quite a thing...

That sounds interesting. Hopefully the cage was made of light metal. I can imagine how slow that would be otherwise.

I’m sad we never got them here, but honestly they never would have sold well . The US market barely bought the Ch arade after all , although we did seem to have more of them in Colorado than anywhere else I’ve been. I still see them around from time to time.

I want one to keep in the bed of my F-150.

None of these vineyard haulers were registered or registerable for road use so the acceleration & top speed was irrelevant!! All the had to do was start and drive...
