In Japan, MLJ imports and sells wholesale as an authorized distributor. The company carefully selects designs and sizes and secures a large amount of domestic inventory. It is now possible to obtain popular products in a timely manner.

In addition to its design, the appeal of BLACK RHINO is that it is available in a variety of models and sizes. As you can see from the "Wheel List" on the official site, there are a wide variety of wheels, so you will be able to find the design you wanted.

New "BR004 FUJI" that inherits the military look
Among BLACK RHINO, the BR004 FUJI is currently gaining popularity in the United States. The name "FUJI" also suggests that the BLACK RHINO brand has a strong interest in Japan's SUV and 4WD custom culture.

BLACK RHINO is characterized by wild details that incorporate dynamic shapes. The BR004 FUJI is designed with bold bolts on the disc to symbolize this.

Placing lumpy bolts on discs is a standard of BLACK RHINO. The disc of the BR004 FUJI is shaped with round and square holes on an uneven surface, giving it a unique impression. The "BLACK RHINO" logo is large on the outer periphery, and the iconic black rhino mark is placed in the center to assert the brand.

The charm of BLACK RHINO is that it is decided only by tires and wheels. The BR004 FUJI has a bold design overall, but the arrangement of bolts, which is one of its elements, is really simple. Therefore, it matches a wide range of SUVs and 1WDs.

There are a wide variety of sizes, from sizes that fit in the stock fender to aggressive sizes, so it is perfect not only for light users who want to enjoy styling up without stretching their shoulders and elbows, but also for custom vehicles that have been knocked down.

A two-color interior menu that enhances the total stylishness and usability of the Town Ace interior is now available! It is also attractive that it can be easily installed!

Car interior brand "Craft Plus" developed, designed, and manufactured in-house
Based in Honsu City, Gifu Prefecture, "Craft Plus" is a specialist in wooden products that sells interior parts for cars by sticking to its own in-house development, in-house design, and in-house manufacturing. I think that many of you know that we have introduced interior furniture for Hiace so far.

Craft Plus has a strong image of Hiace, which has been involved in many projects since the launch of the brand, but since many people said that the Hiace is a little larger in size and that they would like to see it developed with a car that emphasizes city driving, we have developed a new demo car based on the Toyota Town Ace, which has a shorter overall length and a more compact body size than the Hiace.

"Compared to passenger cars, the Town Ace is a commercial vehicle with fewer equipment, so we thought we could create colors that we are better at, such as interior furniture with wooden products as keys," said Mr. Haga, the representative who is also in charge of development. Since the brand's products are developed, designed, and manufactured in-house, the brand's strength is that it is easy for the voices of end users who actually use the products to reach the site, and the products can be updated as needed based on those voices.

Here are six stylish and convenient custom products that will dispel the atmosphere of commercial vehicles. It is recommended for users who want to coordinate Town Ace from everyday use to private use.

Here are six stylish and convenient custom products that will dispel the atmosphere of commercial vehicles. It is recommended for users who want to coordinate Town Ace from everyday use to private use.

The seat cover, which combines novel materials and colors, makes the interior stylish!
First of all, we will introduce seat covers that are compatible with more than 300 models, including Hiace. Speaking of Kraft Plus, we are known for products made from denim fabric, but for the Town Ace that will appear this time, we have two types of seat covers: "New York Style", which combines antique brown leather × Harris Tweed, and "Brooklyn Style", which combines brown cordilloy × brown leather.

The "New York Style" features a stylish design using Harris tweed, which is not often seen in car interiors, and accented with a herringbone pattern with a casual impression at the neck.

Beans Craft Plus"Brooklyn Style" × combination of cordilloy brown leather
The "Brooklyn Style" is characterized by bringing in corduroy fabric with an uneven feeling, which is also rare in car interiors, and incorporating dark brown leather as an accent.

Beans Craft PlusBelt loops on the back of the seat and a pocket with a Kraft Plus tag
The charm of the craft plus is that it has a playful arrangement that does not seem to be in the car, such as a belt loop and a pocket that can fit a smartphone. It is equipped with a highly functional gimmick sublimated into the design.

A center console that improves appearance and usability without compromising functionality
Placed between the driver's and passenger's seats, the Kraft Plus center console enhances the sense of unity in the cockpit together with the seat cover. This product with armrests is installed in place of the stock console.

Beans Craft PlusIn addition to the drink holder in front, a storage box appears when the lid is opened
Originally, there were no armrests on the stock console, and in response to complaints that it was difficult to stabilize the drinks placed in the holder, Craft Plus designed and designed it independently.

Beans Craft PlusSide brakes are designed to work as they are
Of course, the function of the side brake between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat is retained, but not only elbows but also small items can be placed. The drink holder is characterized by an improved construction that makes it more comfortable to use the genuine dissatisfaction points in all aspects, such as maintaining the height.

Comfortable every time you grip it, handmade and polished wooden assist grip
Don't miss the assist grips that attach to the A-pillar (posts on both sides of the windshield). Unlike the simple genuine resin grips, the wooden grips are handmade and polished by craftsmen one by one with a focus on grip comfort.

A total of six locations are available: two on the A-pillar (left and right), two on the top of the first-row front door (left and right), and two on the top of the second-row sliding door (left and right). Because it is something that you always touch when you get on and off, there is no doubt that you will be impressed by the fineness of the wood skin.

Interior lining that together with the seat cover, the quality of the interior is improved at once
If you want to improve the quality of the room, the lining of the door is an important part. By matching the taste with the seat cover, the commercial van-like feeling is eliminated and the interior is much more stylish.

At Craft Plus, there are 2 pieces (left and right) for the front door, 2 pieces (left and right) for the rear door, and 3 pieces (2 left and right + 1 back door) for the luggage part. There are three types of sets, and you can choose from "3 front sheets", "2 front & rear sheets", and "4 sheets in total" according to your preference.

The pattern used can be linked with the seat fabric, so you can improve the feeling of perfection in the car. Like the seat covers, Harris Tweed herringbone pattern × brown leather is available in combination with brown cordilloy × brown leather. The interior, which was unique to vans, will be reborn as an antique space at once.

Beans Craft PlusInner lining attached to the inside of the tailgate (brown leather × Harris tweed)
There are two ways to install the inner lining panel of the Kraft Plus. There is a method of removing the genuine panel and changing to a Kraft Plus product, and a method of detaching the genuine panel and shipping the whole thing to Kraft Plus and installing the fabric. The latter is also recommended for those who want to use genuine parts and keep the cost as low as possible.

A bed kit with excellent storage capacity that creates a space with a total length of more than 1800 mm
If you want to increase the usability of the luggage space of the Town Ace, a bed kit is an indispensable item. The Craft Plus Town Ace bed kit consists of 3 mats, 2 center mats in the center and 5 vertical mats on the left and right. There is a storage space under the left and right cabinets, and if you remove the side mats, you can store gear used for staying in the car, such as shrouds and portable power supplies. The point is that it can be stored while making effective use of dead space.

What makes me happy is that the bed kit and rear seat are designed to match the height when folded. Including the bed kit, the total length should be at least 1800 mm, and if it is fully flat, you can get a size that can sleep two adults. In order not to feel lumpy when using the back of the stock rear seat as a part of the bed space, two 2mm thick urethane cushion materials are included on the back of the seat. This kind of attention to detail can be seen everywhere, which is the true essence of Craft Plus.

The floor panel is made of a 190 mm thick plate and does not warp like a single board.
The hidden star of this project is the floor panels. It's not just about renewing the image from the genuine simple carpet. The secret lies in the thickness of the planks used. To my surprise, it uses a 190mm thick plate. Normally, only 90mm or 120mm thickness is available in Japan, but Kraft Plus specially ordered 190mm thick plates. Thick planks, which are originally distributed as materials for housing in the United States, are secured through our own route.

Beans Craft PlusRobust floor panels with two hoses connected by a hose
The biggest advantage of using this plate is that it does not warp easily. Due to the characteristics of wood, if the board is not thick, the number of planks used will increase, and it will inevitably warp. On the other hand, if it is as thick as 190 mm, the number of plates will be reduced, and warping will be less likely to occur. The thicker it is, the fewer joints there are, and the closer it is to the image of a single board. The panel consists of two panels, and there is no need to worry about misalignment because it is connected by a male and female hozo. You will see Kodawari, which is unique to wood product specialists.

From everyday use to Soto Asobi, you can enjoy Craft Plus Town Ace in an all-in-one

The Town Ace is a working car that is soberly active every day. Based on the easy-to-handle body size, we have introduced Craft Plus interior items that dispel the atmosphere of a commercial vehicle and enhance usability.


From everyday use to weekend activities such as overnight stays, camping, and weekend activities such as soto asobi with pets, Town Ace produced by Craft Plus is a must-see!
