Why Xpert Accessories?
Mini Truck Parts Designed and Built In-House
Your mini truck has a job to do. Whether you use it around your property or take it off-road, choosing accessories starts with understanding how they’re made and whether they fit your truck.
Based in Blaine, Minnesota, Xpert Accessories designs, engineers, and manufactures mini truck parts in-house. Our American-made lineup includes bumpers, lift kits, and other accessories for Japanese mini trucks, with products available for Suzuki, Subaru, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Daihatsu models.
From scanning the truck to cutting, forming, welding, and finishing steel, here’s how we turn a design into a finished accessory.
Engineering Starts With the Truck
Our design process begins with precision portable scanners that capture the truck in 3D. We import those scans into our 3D CAD software, where our engineers develop the initial product design.
Designs go through digital simulations before being rendered for final approval and moving into prototype manufacturing.
Starting with a scan of the truck gives our engineers a detailed reference for developing parts around its shape and mounting locations.
From Raw Steel to Finished Parts
Manufacturing starts with raw sheets of steel. Fiber lasers cut the parts to the design’s measurements, and components that require forming are bent using CNC press brakes.
Parts are inspected after cutting and forming before moving to welding and final assembly. Our welding equipment includes Auto-Set™ Elite Pulsed MIG and TIG welders.
After manufacturing, parts receive a final inspection before moving to finishing. Keeping these steps in-house lets our team work with the product throughout its development and production.
Surface Preparation and Powder Coating
Finishing involves more than applying a coat of paint.
Our process begins with sandblasting, followed by a five-stage wash that cleans, rinses, and treats the parts to help resist corrosion and prepare the surface for powder coating.
The parts then pass through a dryer before entering the paint booth, where powder is applied and baked to create the finished coating.
Practical Design Details for Your Mini Truck
The value of an accessory comes from how it works on the truck. Two examples from our lineup show how we approach those details.
Subaru Sambar KS4 Rear Bumper With Engine Cover
Our Subaru Sambar KS4 rear tow bumper with engine cover is designed for bolt-on installation without cutting or welding.
The engine cover includes provisions for relocating the license plate, license plate light, and reverse light. An opening behind the license plate provides access to check and fill the oil, while the covers can be removed with a few bolts when greater access is needed.
Have a dump box? Contact us before ordering, because the brackets may not fit that configuration as intended.

Suzuki DD51T 2-Inch Lift Kit
Our Suzuki DD51T 2-inch lift kit uses ¼-inch steel plates, a sandblasted and powder-coated finish, and zinc-plated hardware.
During development, we tested and designed the kit to minimize unwanted camber changes. Trucks can respond differently to a lift, so reviewing the product’s fitment information is an important part of choosing your kit.

Check Fitment Before You Order
Start with your truck’s make, model or chassis code, and year, then review the individual product description for compatibility and installation details.
Pay particular attention to differences such as dump-bed configurations and existing modifications. A product listed for one truck configuration may have different requirements on another.
If you’re unsure which accessory to choose, contact us with your truck details and the product you’re considering.

Strength With the Application in Mind
We know mini truck owners customize their vehicles with equipment such as winches, lift kits, larger tires, tracks, and plows. Those applications help inform our approach to product design and testing.
Choosing a strong accessory is one part of building a useful truck. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s weight limits and the ratings and instructions for the equipment you use. Adding a bumper or receiver does not increase the truck’s rated capacity.
