    JDM Mitsubishi Delica JB500 camper body on L300 truck chassis build

    I did not make a hole . Do you see the trim piece that goes up the sides and across the top . pull out the rubber welting from the center . there is then a bunch of screws that are exposed . Remove the screws and cut along the calking where it meets the bumper across the bottom . I think you...

    JDM Mitsubishi Delica JB500 camper body on L300 truck chassis build

    There are screws in the face and also some screws in the sides .you have to go in through the side cupboard . also I removed the hole back of the camper to do it . You will probably find that all the floor under it is dry rotten . I already mentioned that I sold my JB500 last summer . Just...

    Doka Syncro source for parts

    So lack of knowledge again .when they talk about 16 all the time ,are they referring to the length of the rear swing arm ? And did they make the 16 in 1986 ? I will have to measure mine when I pick it up to see if its a 14 or 16 . Thanks

    How is your van altered for offroading?

    This is sort of funny . I purchased a Doka syncro at an auction the other day . Going to be fixing it up and hopefully having some adventures with it . I have not picked it up yet because of the holidays . They say it does not run ,so I do not know what I am in for yet . Maybe that's what I am...

    How is your van altered for offroading?

    On the bigger box campers I think they go super singles so the front and back tires will follow the same track or rut . Because the sprinters use wheel spacers I don't think it would be that hard to switch .I was going to talk to Agile ,they would know what to do or if it can be done .But you...

    How is your van altered for offroading?

    You mention that dually rear tires are an advantage . I know for load they are , but for mud or sand ?? I have a dually sprinter and have been debating on weather to convert it to singles . But I am not sure what one would work better . I know a unloaded two wheel drive dually pickup is useless...

    Imported Japanese vans, RVs, trucks

    As a past owner . They are fun and you get a lot of waves and attention . Most of these vehicles were never designed for north American high speed roads .They really struggle keeping up ,add some wind and a hill and you are screwed . Parts can take weeks to get if available, and cost much more...

    Max Coupler

    My max has performed perfectly, but not real heavy duty abuse . It is easy to hitch up and I find a lot of the time I just pull the receiver pin and slide the hole thing out . If I have any complaint, its that I get grease on my pants when I rub against it .
