Rear shackles, and wheels

I've got a set of wheels from my 98' L400 that should bolt right up. Alloys in good shape with center caps. 2x General AT2's mounted with around 40% tread (1x with 60%), 4th has a bulge so there's also a Westlake A/T tire with 95% tread mounted that I picked up down in Patagonia. Looking for $300 fo...

Re: Saggy rear end

Ended up with the Firestone airbags ordered in from Australia and paid way too much. No shops in the US would ship into Guatemala so what else was I to do! Anyhow, I've arrived into South America now and the point is that I finally have a weight! The rig fully loaded down with fuel, water and food p...

Re: Need Help w/ Stereo Replacement on S2 L400 equiped with MMCS

For anyone having this same issue that I had. My LCD touch screen is back working perfectly alongside my new (Single DIN) head unit. I hooked up the stereo to my AUX battery and it all turned on. Kinda mysterious why and not sure if the power source was the issue. Just wanted all to know it is possi...

Re: Saggy rear end

I've been meaning to stop at a weigh station.. but always seem to notice them when I'm halfway past! I searched around online and couldn't find any specs on width, length or even a part number! I have found out that many delica owners replace their rear coils with HD Land Rover Defender Coils. Appar...

Re: Saggy rear end

Update on my rig.. rear end is sagging once again (Could be the camper conversion :? ) Anyhow, the CCA HD coils worked great with a gutted van. But started to sag as soon as weight was added. Now bottoming out over every speed bump and pot hole. Ordered in airbags to the rescue.

Re: Idle adjustment - Gasser

Mine is now doing this same thing.. did you find the route of the problem?

I'm thinking it's related to an overheated Transmission. Any other ideas on the problem or just crank up the idle and forget about it?

Re: Rim Compatibility

Thanks Gents!

TLGF - I'm assuming you're running wider than stock rims? Also assuming the size of these Michelin's would be 30"?

Spare Keys

Seems like a simple question.. but everywhere I go, they say they don't have the key blanks available.

Where have you gone to get a spare cut?

Thanks!

Re: Rim Compatibility

Did you end up getting these offset rims?

Any idea if you kept the 33mm offset and went 8" wide, would your tires rub with the wheel cranked?

Re: Saggy rear end

I did replace all the sway bar links and bushings with OEM. Still have the stock shocks and sway bar though. We're going to have a constant heavy load (camperized) so once we're fully loaded (50% there), I imagine it'll level out where the stock sway bar and links are sitting where they should.. in ...

Re: Solar Power Installation for Delica L300

Did you add in any fuses between the connections?

I'm about to install my set up very similar to yours and noticing many other versions online where people add in fuses between all connections... is this going overboard or good precaution?
