Hi All, Looking to replace the driver side step bar on a 1994 L400 Exceeds…all rusted out. Any nudges in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks!!

Thanks! I looked over the threads and did a search and somehow didn’t see that post until it was tagged here. Super helpful. It’s at the shop now, hope to know more and/or confirm the issue is the harmonic balancer later today. Cheers, C

Thanks! Great reference. That’s exactly the kind of process I thought it would be. It goes into the shop this week, will circle back. May end up having to do it myself anyways. Cheers, C

Thanks. We’ll, it’s not being very harmonic at the moment, I’m going to stick with calling it a crank. But, I do appreciate the nomenclature. Is there anything else that might be causing that noise in that area? Does getting to that “crank” to check involve as much work as I think it does or...

94 Space Gear Exceeds L400 2.8 M440 For context, this is my first diesel, I have good experience on small engines (boat, moto, two-wheel tractors), and I’m in the middle of a home reno. Meaning, I have a little bit of mechanical experience and absolutely no time. Over the last ~2 weeks an...

I think the bigger question is why were Delica owners the only people to receive the letters on 06/15? My guess is they knew the omnibus bill was coming up with a bunch of other vehicle related language and definition tweaks, this kei-class vehicle issue came up in April and they threw that...

Agreed. Also, if they are using LD 1433 - the recent change to legislation - and the lack of a FMVSS sticker as justification (which doesn't kick-in till September), why is it only Delica's and military grade hummers that have gotten letters? Why didn't they do a comprehensive search and/or...

He speaks!!! I've left ~six voicemails for that man dating back to mid-June and haven't heard a word back. Why did the legislature give BMV more power to adjust language in the bill? AND Who at the BMV is responsible for the language adjustment and what are their justifications? I still think...

That timeline doesn't seem to match ours. When did you receive your letter? We've been trying to get our L400 registered since mid-April and they were using the kei-class language. Only after some serious pushback did we get someone who knew what they were talking about and that took months...

Agreed. The issue we are having is specific to the BMV's reasoning for their actions. Whatever they decide, I (personally) am happy to oblige. But they have continued to misclassify the Delica as a kei-class vehicle and stonewall or simply repeat themselves when anyone challenges that...

Thanks Steve, I don't know, honestly. You'd have to ask Matt and his lawyer...just posting it here to connect the dots. Likely mostly just to put some pressure on and see if there are any holes in their legal argument. There's no legal "action" being taken yet, just firing some shots across...

I called the clerk line at the statehouse and Sam was my first contact - 207-287-1400. He followed up with me today from a different number - 207-287-1515. I think he might answer if you call either and if not you could just ask for him. Nice guy, very responsive and curious. I have not...

Thanks! We just passed through Dummerstown on a little trip to a family campout in Townshend last week. Great spot!

Received a follow-up call from Sam, an aide at the statehouse. They are putting pressure on and sending info/questions to the SOS. I have left two voicemails for Bruce Scott, not a peep yet. We will likely register the vehicle in VT since our temp plates are expiring soon but will continue to...

Thanks Chris, Very helpful. We've sent the same type of questions her way and have left a voicemail for Bruce Scott but have not heard back. We would be interested in legal action if it comes to it. I reached out to Matt Page on Facebook and understand he is ready to reply with his lawyer...

Hi All, We've been dealing with this for a couple months down in York, ME. Maine allows town halls (clerks) to do state registrations. We attempted to register a 1994 L400 in March and were turned away by our town clerk with a lengthy email regarding kei-class vehicles and "japanese...
