Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

"The Knack", yes that is a classic reference. More so since covid, and increased traffic in the so-called popular places in our beautiful wilderness, we work hard at finding hikes and trips that where there are few people. Sometimes they take some time to get to, others are quicker as a re...

Seeing Larrys offer to help thought I'd share a site I like;

Dixie Cove is a short paddle from Fair Harbour, always no one around and a great starting point for trip to Rugged Point or longer trips to Brooks Peninsula.

Hi Larry, that would likely be most helpful! I may have the ability to do such a change, but it's been many many years since I have done so, well over a decade!

I check when I log in, someone else does it, apparently more frequently than I do.

Cheers,
Kevin

There is Campteq in Colorado, they do mostly landcruisers but that offer great service and could work to fit a Delica

Little Bear Bay, I have camped here since I was a kid, a great central small spot on the Island, with great fishing in Johnstone strait. We caught several nice Greenling and rock cod just casting from the rocks this past weekend, including an undersized wild Coho, it was about 4lbs and was released....

Reids Auto on Ryan Rd Courtenay, been working on JDM's for 20 years.

Sorry to hear about your Delica

Same averageman that posts to iOverlander?

Didn't happen without pictures

Cheers

I've heard about JDM connections, I've done a similar service for people in the past, for a fee arranging everything. They would use an experience vehicle brokerage firm. Courtney Agencies quickly arranged deliver of a KIA truck last year. Just looked in my email, it was $627 for that delivery on a ...

Are you familiar with the scheduling and pickup routine at the dock? It's well posted and explained nowadays. I've used Courtney Agencies for almost 30 years for vehicle brokerage fees, they can also prepay the dock fees. Your import agent in Japan can forward needed e-docs to your brokerage agent. ...

Cheers Larry,

Been waiting to see whom else replies, I, for one, enjoy your reports. Started fishing the region in the mid 80s and only stop on the last 4-5 years. It's great to see the current state of old fishing spots!!!

Pictured is Lake Helen Mackenzie yesterday

With several parts needed, do you have time, and space, to locate a Delica with a blown head gasket to part out? I see you're from Ontario, but the west coast has many a long parked Delica sadly sitting. Walking yesterday evening in Cumberland I counted half dozen L300 looking like they haven't run ...

Thanks for keeping this active Larry!! Did explore the Maury Lakes many a year ago, but we never fished it, and that was before the Delica days. Still sticking to the Island this year, hiking most weekends and many a weekday! Cheers, Tahsis north bound Tahsis.jpg Side Bay-Port Alice-Lawn Point SideB...

It will be pretty neat to work on an L300 with a truck frame. It's been a while. Wonder how many old timers are still on here ? :-D Older post, do you still have you Delica motorhome Jesse? Does being a Grandpa of 3 make me an old timer? Oh, I still have 2 JDM's at home, my Surf I've had since the ...

Hi James, I'll offer up my recent experiences. Recently Canadian inspections are more regulated, your vehicle inspection office will have to document and submit pictures of all the lights on your self imported Delica. If something isn't E code this may prove difficult, and require some custom modifi...
