1999 Daihatsu Hi-Jet Fire Fighter 4WD: the background

Every four-wheel-drive Minicab from 1984 onward got twelve-inch front disc brakes and automatic free-wheeling front hubs as standard. Trade-spec Hijets were overwhelmingly white; this one is recorded as Red. The Hijet Climber was the first kei vehicle offered with a limited-slip differential, and low-range sub-transmissions were a factory option across several generations.

How this 1999 Hi-Jet Fire Fighter 4WD is put together

Power comes from the EF-NS, a 660cc 3-cylinder unit. Behind the Red bodywork sits a manual gearbox. Listed drivetrain equipment includes selectable 2WD / 4WD high / 4WD low. The EF lives under the seats in a Hijet, which is why the bench tips forward and the service points face upward.

Living with a Hi-Jet Fire Fighter 4WD

Four-wheel drive on a Hi-Jet Fire Fighter 4WD was specified in Japan for field and forestry work, not for road holding. This 1999 Hi-Jet Fire Fighter 4WD spent its working life on Japanese registration, where a light goods vehicle faces its first statutory shaken inspection at two years and another every two years after that. It is listed at $14,900. Japan raised the kei displacement ceiling to 660cc in January 1990, and the 660cc unit in this 1999 Hi-Jet Fire Fighter 4WD was engineered to sit just inside it.
