    Colorado registration in 7 "easy" steps (including emissions!)

    I went to Revhard Motors in Denver and had no issues like that and it took about 5 minutes. If you are able to drive up to Denver I would give them a call and see if they can do it. I didn't want to mess with the CSP and also appointments were impossible to get with them.

    Easy DIY Curtains and Sliders

    I would say it's not difficult to unscrew the knobs and pull the curtains off but, in my case, I have 40 knobs that would need to be removed. But I would say in probably 15-20 minutes you could swap out or remove the curtains. Here are the dimensions I used for each window but these are the...

    Easy DIY Curtains and Sliders

    I finally got around to making and installing the curtains based on this thread (no pun intended??). I picked up some beige blackout curtain material from Joann fabrics (in the US), cut it to size, and hemmed it using heat activated hemming adhesive, which was nice so that I didn't need to sew...

    Easy DIY Curtains and Sliders

    I finally got to looking at this and as @DeliKit said, I needed to remove all of the screws to get some movement of the metal rail inside the plastic trim. I was able to get one end "exposed" and slide the weld nuts in with no problem. Thanks again for the help and tips. Now I just have to...

    Easy DIY Curtains and Sliders

    Actually my track might be the same as yours. I didn't take it all the way off - I just removed two of the screws to be able to pry it out a bit and take a look at the ends, and saw they were embedded in the plastic trim (no "cap" per se like I mentioned in my post). I will try to remove it...

    Easy DIY Curtains and Sliders

    Reviving an old thread there...I bought some of the weld nuts (plus thumb screws, etc) but I can't figure out how to "insert" the weld nuts into the rails? I tried removing the rails but they come off with the plastic trim around them and the rails are capped at the end so I can't insert the...

    Parting out 1993 L300 Exceed

    Any chance you have the fuel/water separator valve that threads into the bottom of the fuel filter assembly? It's the white, plastic, butterfly screw/valve thing you loosen to drain water from the fuel filter (not sure what the official name is). Mine is leaking. See the attached pic if that...

    Aisin manual locking hub cover bolts

    The other day I noticed that one of the outer bolts on the manual locking hub cover is missing: I did some searching on the interwebs and found these: https://cruiserteq.com/aisin-hub-face-bolt-w-washer-pack-of-6-fits-hub80616kit/ But also some additional searching indicates that Toyota part...

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    glad you got it figured out and interesting that it was the same issue I had. Unfortunately for me I now need to go pass emissions again here in Colorado so I need to put the old EGR valve on and hope that it closes properly at least for the day or two that I'll have it on there for testing. I...

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    I'm happy to report my Delica is back up and running! Thanks for the suggestion to look at the EGR valve! When I took it off it looked like it was closed and not stuck open but perhaps just taking it off was enough to disturb it and make it close again. I cleaned it up as much as I could and...

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    yes turbo spins freely when the engine is running. I removed the EGR and it looks pretty clogged up with lots carbon on the inside for sure. I am going to try to clean it as best I can but also just punt and get an EGR delete since I already passed the physical emissions inspection here that...

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    Progress! I was able to confirm compression was fine (phew!) so I was able to confirm that the engine has 1) compression, 2) fuel and 3) air (??)...so I started looking into air being the issue. I removed the intake hose going into the turbo and that didn't solve anything, but it eliminated...

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    Latest update from here: 1. Checked the injectors both for fuel according to the "Delica won't start troubleshooting guide" and also for a stuck open injector and all injectors were fine. Further testing could prove otherwise but #3 below makes me think the injectors are not the issue. 2...

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    Thanks all! Next steps for me: 1. Try to start with intake off of turbo - DONE and still didn’t start. I think this eliminates a raccoon in the air intake as the culprit. Lol 2. Check rockers - I’m actually worried something broke in the head and that this is the issue. 3. Check the...

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    I looked at the timing this morning and everything looks good I think. Crank pulley lines up with the "T" on the lower cover, divots/notches line up on the IP pulley and camshaft pulley. So I think that rules out any kind of timing issue? I also pulled the intake air hose off the turbo...

    Good point! I will check that first thing in the morning!

    Loss of power, black smoke, and engine knocking

    I am suddenly having an issue that sounds very similar to what you describe. This afternoon I pulled the van out of the driveway to let my wife pull her car out, then when I went to pull the van back into the driveway it had almost now power (barely crawling with it floored) and was blowing a...

    Agreed - I can probably make April work if there is enough interest from others.

    Deli-Meet West (2024)

    Might be interested depending on what month in the spring. March is out for me but I can probably get April/May to work.
