Entire ignition system died.
Timing belt completely fell apart.
Clutch is going out.
This car is great! I love it, and would only replace it with an older model Bronco.
It has gotten me out of a few tight spots in the mud, but also can take on a highway drive no problem.
The seats are a little uncomfortable, and parts are somewhat hard to find here in the States.
Would love to put in one of the 2.8l Turbo Diesels, but can't find one here.
I have a Rocky from 1990. Great 4x4. Gotten me through floods, rain and dirt roads. I love it. I had a accident recently and messed up the left front side from the bumper to my door. I was involved in a hit and run. I was pretty destroyed because I love it. Now when I turn right, and the front end goes into a hole while turning, the tires scrape the bumper.
The problems that it has is the Power Steering Hose, and the back window on the door is Le xan.
I would keep it until it passes away.
Me again. The one with the dented Rocky. Does anyone know about an Internet page that sells Daihatsu parts? Rocky in particular. I need a new Power Steering Hose and a alternator. Send a reply to the following: 7873184691@vtexto.com, metroII@hotmail.com.
I would really appreciate some help from other Rocky owners,

Hi Love my daihatsu, but like the rest of you have difficulty finding parts for it. Mine need muffler work and fan and alternator seem to have some issues. It is a lot of fun to ram around in with the top down. Also the 4 wheel drive is great for almost anywhere. So if anyone know where to get parts in NE PA please pass it on, for I really do not want to part with my fun vehicle... thanks good luck to everyone else sorry no help.. MJ.
PartsTrain has a lot of parts for the Rocky. I own a '92 and I get all of my parts from partstrain.com.
I own a 92 Rocky too. What I did to find any parts for mine was just type in the search bar 92 Daihatsu Rocky and I got all the sites that had stuff for Daihatsu. It has actually turned out to be cheaper getting them online then going to the auto part store and having them send out for them for me. Hey, about your muffler you need fixed, I will tell you what I did, I took my car to Walts Mufflers and told them I know you have to have a muffler that will work, even though it's not the exact item number as Daihatsu, and they custom fitted one for mine and welded it on for me, and I only paid 80, so try that first.
