If you're the adventurous type, always dreaming about exploring remote corners of the countryside without lugging around a cumbersome RV, I've got something rather special for you—the Honda Acty Camper. Specifically, our unique creation, the Honda Acty Grasshopper Camper. Compact, capable, and thoroughly impressive, this miniature marvel has transformed the honda acty game.
From Humble Kei Truck to Off-Road Camper
It all started with a stock, pristine 1993 Honda Acty—five-speed manual, four-wheel drive, and barely 30,000 kilometers on the clock. Completely original and in exceptional condition, this Acty was begging for a transformation. We partnered with the talented folks at Kyoritsu in Hiroshima to craft what you now see as the Grasshopper retro-style Kei truck camper.

Exterior Upgrades
We knew immediately this camper needed not just to look good but handle brilliantly off-road. To achieve the right blend of style and functionality, we lifted the truck by 1.5 inches, providing ample ground clearance and fitting it perfectly with a set of 15-inch Rota wheels. Complementing these rugged wheels are custom over-fenders, seamlessly blending into custom side paneling that completely conceals the gas tank, battery, and coolant tank—a polished look that seems straight from the factory.
At the rear, custom aftermarket tail lights were integrated. To accommodate these sleek fixtures, Kyoritsu went above and beyond by creating a bespoke molded bumper, ensuring a flush and factory-like finish. We topped the exterior with a robust roof rack, complete with additional LED fixtures for enhanced nighttime visibility. Up front, a custom Grasshopper K-truck front bumper and a durable brush guard add practicality and presence.
Interior Comfort and Functionality
Inside, the Grasshopper continues to impress. Upgraded NRG seats and a gated shifter provide a sports-inspired yet comfortable driving experience. We swapped the standard steering wheel for a responsive NRG steering wheel, and the dash now hosts a Bluetooth-enabled upgraded sound system alongside an integrated PA system—perfect for communication during your wilderness adventures.
Diamond plating throughout the interior ensures durability, while upgraded LED headlights significantly improve visibility. To finish off this automotive masterpiece, we equipped it with a growling OIWA exhaust system, completing the perfect blend of style and performance.
Camper Shell: A Masterstroke of Utility
The defining feature, of course, is the Grasshopper's exclusive camper shell. Open the bed gates on either side, and you're greeted with stainless steel soft-close storage compartments—perfect for tools, gear, or even a handy two-burner grill setup. Drop the tailgate, and a six-foot sliding shelf extends, maximizing storage and convenience.
When it comes to camping comfort, yes, you can genuinely sleep in the back. Sure, anyone over six feet might feel a bit snug, but with an air mattress, it makes for a cozy night under the stars. This compact camper excels in accessibility, allowing you to venture further into remote destinations than traditional campers or RVs.
Adventure Ready
The Honda Mini Truck Camper isn't just for show—it's purpose-built for genuine adventure. Its Real-Time 4WD system means you can confidently tackle challenging terrain, ideal for hunting trips, fishing excursions, or secluded weekend getaways far from the beaten path.
