I have been pretty busy the last few days, the truck is getting neglected this week.
I tore out the interior, added new speakers, a stereo sound deadening and insulation. I have to install the new carpet, this weekend. I ended up cutting the doors and adding speakers.It sounds good.
from what I am gathering the L400 is the way to go. I agree that the L300 wins the style points. I guess LHD is very obtainable, it just might take a few months
I am going to add sound deadener to the doors and floor along with rubber mat to provide better insulation. I think I will be ok with 4.5" speakers. Can always add more speakers down the road.
Easier than patching holes and tearing out wires. ha ha
I am leaning towards just upgrading the stock 41/2 speakers to start.
Also still trying to figure out the rear leafs. Trying to keep the truck pretty stock. OME medium pack might be a little much. Might have to go custom from Alcan they are definitely more expansive but might be the only...
Thanks for the info on the dealers. Our friends went through https://www.delicausa.com/ and had a great experience. I spoke with them a few weeks back.
I have started the research on the vans and the different specs. I am still unsure of which direction to go. I know we want diesel, my wife is...
I am about to fix radio and add some new speakers. I can't decide if I should just stay stock ( was my original idea) new 4" speakers or if I should cut into the door. If I cut into the door I can make the stock 4" speaker into tweeter and then add speakers in the door.
What does everyone think?
I talked with the guys at Rocky Road today . They said If I cranked my Torsion bars, about 1/2" , with the medium duty OME pack, stock shackles, and Shell, the rear should about 1" over stock.
Every OME pack I have put on an older Toyota has always ended up being about 1" over what the spec is...
That was when I picked it up.
I got to work pretty fast on a few things.
Here is what it needed:
shocks, leafs, bushings, steering stabilizer.
carpet and seat need to be re-worked.
dash light bulb is out
AC is shot going with R112
battery, battery terminals, and cables
timing belt and...
I found a deal on a really nice low mile 1987 pickup that I could not pass up. Here is the story of the new truck, (still figuring out its name).
The truck is a one owner from Oregon, and in amazing shape with only 106k on it.
It has a few blemishes and needs some interior work but the frame...
My wife and I are seriously considering a Delica and seeking some guidance. We were about the trigger on a sprinter. We came across a Delica in a parking lot. My wife was like what is that I would rather drive that any day. Total surprise! Music to my ears. I love sprinters, but they are a dime...
I spoke with alcan about springs, I was surprised at the price they quoted for custom springs. it is not bad. I would not put it in the budget category but definitely alot cheaper than deaver.
