I wanted to grab a nicely lifted one like yours but she wants a 'mild' lift.
I prefer the larger flares/lift myself tho. Nice rig Noel.

Man these newer looking vans are awesome. What kind of turbo mods can you do on these?

Very cool.
L300s have done extremely well in Canada. I look forward to seeing how well the L400 does here.
Gumdrop isn't up for replacement any time soon, but her replacement is likely to be an L400...

The L300's will always have a niche market and following. They are very unique vehicles.
The L400's will do very well here just like the Gen II Montero's did in the US.
Lots of upgrades over the 1st Generation Mitsu, the king of the hill being the SuperSelect AWD/4WD selectable drivetrain. Amazing piece of tech.

The yard reminds me of brave auto's. The picture quality is also unseen by most other exporters.
guess not though.
got a new dash pad for the common crack/deterioration over the DIN/Hvac area?

Yep for the pad.
No for brave auto. Different source.

So when you say "wife" or "sister" for these rigs does that actually mean you guys?
I will still think you guys are cool even if you drive soccer mom vans that
will go anywhere anytime.
I guess your kids will never miss a game!
You guys are
Right on

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I do love the Delicas, but i really do need something for her to drive, im sure we will be going back and forth between the landcruiser and the L400. once the deal is finalised I will post some better picts of the new L400, I love all done up vehicles, this Delica has Rancho 9000 shocks all around, 3" Stainless steel exhaust, 35" tires ,Massive drop down monitor,STAINLESS steel bull bars,rear ladder, up graded Turbo, upgraded head, intake manifold has been ported, bullet proof trans, Trailer hitch, even the under side extra back up light is a PIAA. Timing chain replaced, and I have every shaken inspection documentation since it was 2yrs old. Its the best van I've ever found thats legal to import.
So Jesse, are you bringing over container or roro? I think for this gorgouse baby Im going container that way I can get it here for the first week in July and get it out of the box the next week, none of this it gets here and sits on the island for a month.Im allready planing the roof rack for it, I think Im going to go with HID lights on the front and the new LED lights for fog lights
Hmmm, can you tell Im excited. My drive way is going to look pretty sweet, my lifted up Landcruiser on one side, the delica on the other, I think we are going to put a lift on the MU this spring also. All run on B100 Biodiesel, No pump fuel for these masterpieces.

Going to try RORO again this time. So far, I have had good luck with RORO's on the past 3.
I'm already looking at making a fiberglass mold to use as a hightop camper for the L400.

why not just use a westFAILia, there or lots of them at the wreckers, and alot cheaper than bringing one in. we are talking about putting a pop top on this one, but might just get the little motor homes in for some camping, Im going to be over height regardless so I might just do a tricked out roof rack. we still have this massive camper for the back of the dodge thing has 2 queen size beds in it. I would like to sell that and put a small motorhome in its place. maybe one of the Canter, elf chassy versions. I love the look of those motorhomes.
