    What's this thing?

    Kind of looks like something would slide onto it and engage those contacts...or, since there's a notch in the pop top for it my guess is it's part of what was an ignition circuit cut off so you don't drive off with the top up.

    Fueling the 4D56 / D4BF with Modern NA Diesel Fuel

    The Delica is my first diesel rig. I've gotten to know a great deal about my D4BF but I'm totally in the dark regarding what modern diesel is, how it varies pump to pump and how it behaves in an engine designed for what I imagine was a significantly different mixture of fuel and amendments...

    FTS Triple Hitch Sags- weld it?

    Nomadic instaleld (I think) an FTS triple hitch. It's already rusty, even on the tubes that have never been used. Additionally, it sags. I've unbolted/adjusted/rebolted but it slides right back down with the bike rack on and bounces wildly up and down. It sags at the tube connection to the...

    Shipping from Japan > Cost of Parts

    My last Amayama order was quoted at 147.71 USD shipping, now it wants approval with shipping at 594.16, same weight of 10.5kg. That's more than the parts cost.... I do have upper/lower trans mounts on there, including cross member which might be driving it but the rest is a literal box of...

    Automatic Transmission Connecting Bolts Loose/MIA

    Doing part of my 10,000km maintenance today before another road trip (and pre-troubleshooting the fact that my trans won't go into 1st) I found a bunch of the AT connecting bolts loose. Very loose. The 14mm head one that the shift control cable bracket hangs on is totally gone.... ...probably...

    OEM style LHD headlamps / headlights?

    Got a light w. broken glass that's about to get taped up for a road trip. For replacements, I know you can get RHD oem style and LHD aftermarkets but I like the OEM style/LHD combo I have and am happy enough with the performance. Short of swapping the glass of whatever I can get my hands on...

    Repair AC v. Delete for 12v Aux Radiator Fan

    AC repair appears relatively straightforward; basically need to fix/replace the second condenser fan under left front cheek then have a shop refill, repair any leaks. Could be worse, depending on details. Dog would highly appreciate on hot drives. Deleting the main AC condenser might give...

    Fumoto Valve?

    Anyone use/like these? Saw a post where someone said they installed but couldn't find a follow up. I have a quality skid plate on so there's protection for it. Still a touch nervous about putting a valve right there on a Delica of all things but I like the concept. I'm thinking the...

    Maxx Cool 2020©

    I want to make a list of everything one can do to crank the cooling system on the 4D56. Challenge- populate it with items currently available w. out fantastical shipping rates. I'm a noob here so I'll shut up and let the pros talk but have a couple ones to contribute for consideration that...

    How'd that Happen? Or, A Repair or Replace Engine Thread

    Well our week and some days new to us '94 appears to have, at a minimum, blown the head gasket on it's first run. Around town for a week, no problems. Up the canyon, short 20-30 min, service road, fairly steep but also low speed, maybe 40kph tops at flatter points, seemed to go fine but...

    Howdy from MT

    In the process of purchasing and importing a 1994 L300 with the Reimo pop top. Not a built out camper inside but has the two rows of benches. It still has some inspection and repair to go through so wish me luck. My family currently drives an '88 Toyota LE 4wd USDM van, which we love but...
