I'm interested . Did you check the cap and rotor for heavy deposits? (assuming it has a distributor)

Sorry for not keeping up with your build Steinez, but I am still in shock:Wow1
ver the use of osb sheit board in the cab! Glad to see that your Delicious in coming along, and that you now have a new way to melt plastic up front. (the driving lamps with plastic signs in front of them must make for real good plastic melt) Does the alternator make enough power to run all those lights at once? Anyways, good that you have some nice friends that install car stereos and subwoofers for you. Those are good friends. What we really need to see is if this Mitsibushi Delicious can 4 wheel. Cant you take it out and get some good pics of it doing some 4 wheeling? Keep that build going and lets see some new pics soon. Cheers, Chilli.

Hmm, not really sure at the moment. But i think those things are for sure:
-steel bumpers
-rear swingout
-center winch (hopefully, if not, rear winch)
-1-2" lift
-rear air suspension
-skid plates
-camper interior that can be swapped out for the standart interior

Hi, maybe i`m using some mdf plates for the camper stuff, just for you... :sombrero:
The lights only draw about 18 amps, thats not much. I`m going to convert all the other lights to LED`s, so they should draw less. But it`s not a problem for the alternator, it should be big enough...
No offroad pictures atm, because of the lack of offroad terrain at home...
I think i`m going to take a lot of measurements tomorrow... :Wow1:

Looks like you intend to sleep sideways... or is there a front portion to the bed that is not yet in place? How wide is the bed? And how tall are you?
I'm designing/building a camper setup for my Astro van right now, and life would be so, so, so much easier if i could sleep sideways in it. Not even close of course, since it's about 5 feet wide and i like to have about 6.5' of sleeping space. Even the full-size vans are too narrow to sleep sideways.

I have a feeling he isn't done yet.....I did sleep sideways in a 84 Dodge 1 ton van for most likely about 30 nights, 1 week at a time, about 10 years ago. I hated it when it was cold and my feet would poke out occasionally. things are more fun when you,re younger.:coffeedrink:

Hi,
the bed itself is finished in the pics. If you look closely at the first picture you'll see a folded bench in front of the wood. This is the front section of the bed that you are missing. The bed is about 190cm by 120cm. I'm about 170cm tall and will hopefully be traveling with a nice girl most of the time, so it's not that bad that its a bit narrow...
On the right side, where that piece of wood isn't installed yet, will be a cabinet for clothes, etc. In front of it, towards the sliding door will be a small kitchen, that's accessible from the inside and outside...

Almost finished the cabinet today:
Upper mount:
The bed still folds up:
I need a good idea for securing my clothes in the cabinet while driving. Don`t like the elastic strap solution...

First i painted the sides today:
It came out "good from far but far from good "...
Then it was time to remove the rear bumper. I didn`t need to remove a single bolt, i just ripped it off:
We placed bets on how much is left of the support. Well, i won, because i said nothing is left...
Me removing the few bits that were left:
All the crap that came out:
And some paint:
Will add a new steel rear bumper on monday...
Test fit of the mattress. Still need to cut it down:
I think the spare needs some paint:
