Excited for Series 2 L400 in Kootenays!

Post by delica64 »

Hi!
New to the forum. Waiting to get our White 2000 series 2 L400 Space Gear with 87000 kms shipped :-D !!!!

Opted for auction instead of domestic purchase because we wanted to get something with lower Kms. Tired to find one with Crystal lite roof and ladder but much harder to find than I thought. Still very excited about our van and making it a off-road camper.
Should be here by February.

We are planning on a road trip south in early spring. BC, Washington, Oregon, California, AZ, NV, New Mexico, Utah, WY, and home! Might have to extend our trip a little longer to get all this in. Any Delica owners down south that would want to meet up?

I'm not a wiz with mechanics, but not afraid to get my hands dirty and work on my own rig. Used to have a E-350 that I fully camperized when I was 23 before all the cool kids bought vans to live in. haha


Here is the mod list that I would like to get done before we go.
I will be asking lots of questions along the way.
  • compliance and Bc Inspection
    DRL lights
    Do I have to get new lights with series 2 L400. Been reading a lot of different opinions.
    regular maintenance: fluid flush,oil change, filters, brakes, etc.
    New Tires (looking at 30" BFG A/T or Discovery ) and new steelies
    suspension lift kit / spacers from CCAutos
    Snorkel (only found one supplier in Aus that can ship, delicagarage) Anyone else know of any?
    New battery
    Aux batteries and solar panel kit for charging electronics and all associated components
    fm band expander (or new deck if old one is no good)
    ARB Awning
    rear hitch
    Rear Tire carrier
    thule roof rack
    custom interior bed platform, sliding drawers.
    roof vent

Wish list:
Xrox bull bar (has anyone tried a DIY bull bar here in Canada?)

There is probably more to the list that i'm missing. putting it down in writing is a little overwhelming. haha

Looking forward to meeting other Delica owners and having a new van!

Cheers

Hey Delica64, sounds like you have a sweet ride coming your way. If you find yourself in Georgia at some point in your trip let me know. :-) I'd love to meet up and have a chat. I've never seen an L400 in person, and us Yanks won't get to own one for a couple more years. 100% pure unobtainium for us Americans. 8-)

Welcome to the club. You have a lot of work ahead of you. Make sure to post about your progress. I just licensed a gen1 L400 and I needed new headlights. Let me know how your roof vent project turns out. I would like that in my van but it seems very difficult to do. My van has a crystal light roof aswell.

Got our Delica! And new BC Parks licence plate. I've been asked if we are visiting from Utah and Arizona twice now :-D

Pictured here with new 30" General Grabbers AT2 and rear coil springs from CCAutos. Gives it a nice lift.

More mods on the way.

Welcome to the world of the L400! I picked up my own S1 LWB Super Exceed V6 back in September, and I'm in the Kootenays as well. (West Koots)
