Most kei truck customs add attitude. This one adds a Land Cruiser face—and changes everything.
Built by fusion FROM SPIEGEL, this Hijet Truck Jumbo swaps its simple front end for a design inspired by the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 ZX. The result is more aggressive, more premium, more complete—and surprisingly convincing.

A Kei Truck That Looks Like a Full-Size SUV
This build stands out for one reason: it doesn’t look like a joke.
Instead of relying on simple styling add-ons, fusion rebuilt the entire front-end presence. It’s a full transformation, not a decorative overlay.
The Full Bumper Makes the Difference
The key part is the full bumper kit. It does more than add design cues:
- Extends into the upper grille
- Recreates real Land Cruiser proportions
- Matches the 300 ZX look closely from every angle
This is why it works. Most kits look like overlays. This one feels like a full transformation.

That contrast is the whole appeal:
- Body: kei truck size
- Face: full-size SUV presence
The mix feels both fun and serious. It draws attention without leaning into gimmick territory.

The painted full bumper combined with the black bull bar creates a premium, aggressive presence—the kind of look few would expect from a kei truck.
Matte Black Version: A Different Direction
Not everyone wants a painted finish. fusion also offers a matte black version, inspired by the Toyota RAV4 Adventure OFFROAD Package II.
It creates a premium, aggressive look with the kind of presence few would expect from a kei truck.
Leaving the bumper black changes the entire vibe:
- More rugged
- More functional
- More “American SUV” feel
Keeping the front face black gives the truck a more American SUV-inspired finish.
The khaki-and-black combination keeps the look simple while pushing the truck toward a harder, more off-road image.
The khaki-and-black combination especially works well, keeping the look simple while pushing the truck toward a harder, more off-road image.
