L400 Hitch Sources - in the Prairies?!?

Last post by pj_jazzy_janz « Tue Apr 16, 2019 10:42 am

by pj_jazzy_janz » Tue Apr 16, 2019 10:42 am

I'm wanting to put a hitch on the back of my '94 LWB L400 to tow a Boler-type trailer, and I'm wondering where I can find one in Manitoba. Does anyone have any great ideas? We'll be going as far as Alberta in the summer if that helps, but won't be making it to BC, so places like E&H Hitch are out...

I have a 1995 L300 4x4, its a 5 speed manual with a 4D56T in it. The engine is starting to get old and will need to get pulled out at some point (i think the piston rings are worn because it likes to smoke a lot, especially when starting). I was wondering if it was worth it to put the original...

First post

Hi guys, just wondering if I would be able to fit 235/85/16 tires on oem Tacoma rims with an offset of +30 on my L400? I recently got this delica and it came with 215/65/16 tires. Unsure if the rims are stock, therefore I’m not sure if the offset is stock +33. But anyways, the tires look so tiny....

Last post

So you have the tires on rims and the van......jack it up and put them on! Observe. Test drive. Do they fit?

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

I don't have practical experience with those rims in particular, however I'm looking at a set of 16 x8 ET10 wheels, which fit with 8mm between the rim and top suspension arm. The Hilux ET8 (positive offset is stock on a Hilux) should fit just fine, unless there's something I've overlooked. (How's...

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...

TL;DR: Rancho part number RS999188 adjustable shocks fit L300 front suspension, but require a touch of modification to do so safely. On their hardest setting they aren't as hard as I expected, but still show a clear improvement in handling on the road. Softest is like driving a bouncy castle and...

Nice write-up. I'm planning to get new shocks for my Delica and looks like the Rancho adjustable shocks are a good option.

Looking for some guidance in tapping the fuel line in an L300 to provide fuel to an Espar D2 air heater clone.

Can I directly break into the existing fuel line and butt a 'T' into it rather than tapping a tube directly into the fuel tank?

Last post

Here are some images (the forum casts me shade about image size, so you'll have to use the links to view):
1: Installation Location

2: View of air intake, exhaust and fuel line from underside. Note carbon felt on exhaust pipe to protect fuel line from heat
