Sometimes I seem to overlook the the simple way of doing things. For example, I was considering how I could replace my old ratty curtains with something fresh & new. I have a bed in the back of my '93 L300, so it's really for privacy more than anything else. Then it hit me, Why not tint the...

Hey Alex,

I had it done professionally. It was only $300 bucks and the difference is amazing. I bought a used set of curtains when I bought my van seven years ago. But they don't really provide decent privacy, and you can't clean them easily. I wished I had tinted my windows when I bought my van....

I keep forgetting to inflate the air shocks when towing and only notice when I'm on the motorway. Also, when you get to the campsite and unhitch the caravan, it's a pain to air down the shocks for driving around, and then pump them up again when it's time to tow the 'van home.

Last post

Can't speak for the L400, but a common method when installing a diesel heater in the L300's is tapping into your fuel is by plumbing a 3-way valve into the hose destined for the fuel filter. This could me a viable alternative to your fuel delivery questions.

The rear springs on my Delica have sagged (as they all do) to the point where they were sitting on the overload leaves, which makes the ride quite harsh.

I've tried adding a leaf ( ) which made the ride smooth again when loaded, but it also raised the rear too far when the van was empty. ( Too...

Hi all
Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section.

Does anyone here have any experience running 15x8J offset -8 rims on a stock (not lifted) L300? If so, any issues with rubbing at full lock etc?
I've spotted a very cheap set of those rims with tyres on (265/70's). They are Toyota Hilux...

Last post

31 x 10.5 x 15 tires will work if lifted.
May require a bit of trimming in the front wheel wells and removal of the front step plates.

Thanks for the info. My van is not lifted, but that's my next plan.

There are some really nice lifted L400's in Canada.

Some have perfect lift kits installed, addressing critical components, while some do not.

I'm seeing more and more lifted L400's...

I have seen in one of the Delica forums someone had done that. They were also selling them as the van had been totalled. This was years back. It's possible with some custom brackets made. Try doing a search in Google and on this forum. Good luck

Yep, pop the cover off then it's held with 3 #3 Phillips machine screws. Maybe just get some black machine screws and put them back in? Would look better then the brass/gold ones Mitsubishi used

yes you need longer bolts otherwise they will strip out. The tailgate is a heavy piece and there's lots of strain on the shock.
Another option I found worked well is to cut a spacer piece (old plastic cutting board) and insert it on the top of the shock bracket. Yup, you guesses it, longer...
