Just got an L300 and I'm stoked!

Hello all,
I'm a proud new owner of a 1993 L300 Super Exceed, SWB, LSD, crystalite, with Nokian Vatiivas on aftermarket rims and a few other upgrades including seat covers from Japan with a super crazy pattern. I plan to head into the snow this year, so I got some dedicated snow tires on another set of rims and I can't wait to test it out in 4WD!
First thing that I must do is give big ups to all the members who posted excellent information and helped me to figure out what to look for when purchasing. I look forward to many years of delica-touring as well as being able to contribute to this forum. As a product designer with CAD (computer aided design) skills I think there will come a time when there is something custom or something rare that needs to be fabricated for the Delica, and that is where I can help out. An exciting development is the ability to rapid prototype custom stainless steel parts which can be tapped, drilled and stressed and perform very closely to a part that uses a more conventional form of mass production...but I digress.
A bit about myself. I've spent a total of 3 years in Japan on 4 separate trips. One of those stints was in 1993 where I got to ride in brand new Delicas! That planted the seed, but at that time the new Delica's were very expensive to purchase on the Japanese market and I had to wait awhile before finally getting one of my own.
I look forward to meeting you at the meets.
Cheers,
Tojo aka Bruce
ps. Tojos used to be my favorite sushi place in Vancouver, but now I can't afford to go there, ha!
