I finally took my 91 Delica on a trip over the big mountain passes here on the way to my place in Keystone, Colorado. On the way out, I did a bunch of back roads then I went on I70 thru Eisenhower Tunnel (11,158 feet). The I70 bit was pretty stressful. Dropped below 40 mph for a few sections...

OK, I'm probably being dense, but can't figure out which shocks actually work (out of the box) with an L300 with a 2" lift. I think the KYB KG5494 work, but the threads I've read through aren't clear on whether those are for with or without a lift... I have the front sorted with some ProComp...

Recently, my 91 Delica began having starting issues. I attributed the dead battery to having been killed several times by my daughter leaving on lights, so I replaced the battery. The van still had starting problems after a few starts and a quick checked showed low voltage. I bought a cheapo...

So, I've had my Deli for a little over a year now...I've been fighting constant battles with the low beam bulb on the right side blowing. To the point that I got sick of replacing the bulb and just left it dead for a while, running the high beams mostly. The low beams are soooo bad anyway...

Hi all- Any time I lower my driver side window, it rattles like crazy. Even if just partially retracted, but especially when it is all the way inside the door. I'm probably being paranoid, but it sounds like the glass pane is going to break every time I close the door. Before I tear apart the...

I've been working out of my van while my daughter is at various activities (swim practice, horse lessons, etc). I figured it would be nice to build a cheap auxiliary power system for these situations plus camping. My goals are simple: usb charging and laptop charging via a battery charged by the...

My antenna is always getting pushed down by the wind. I thought I'd take it off and see what is up. As usual when I disassemble most anything on the l300, a plastic bit disintegrates. In this case, I removed the screw and black plastic bits fell out. No clue what it even looked like as they were...

Hi all- COVID restrictions in Colorado have been semi-lifted, so I need to get my L300 emissions tested and the vehicle registered. I see test results from the previous owner and they are bad enough for failure. 60MPH - 29% opacity 50MPH - 56% opacity 40MPH - 80% opacity Zero Shift - 00%...

My main purpose for owning the Delica is for fun. However, they are versatile little workhorses. Let's see some pics of your Deli being used for utility/work... I'll start with my recent project: dismantling a decrepit playset and reusing the top portion elsewhere on the property. The Deli was...

As mentioned in another thread, I need some curtain sliders for my L300. I found a thread in the wanted parts forum referencing the Integra Button Sliders. I can't find a source for those in the US (everything I find is from the UK and shipping kills the deal or the source is closed due to...

I moved beyond basic maintenance on my new Deli today to start messing around with the basic camping setup that it came with. Pretty neat. There is a folding platform that stores under the rear seat, sliding curtains on the side windows, and some snap-in curtain for the cab section. The...

Silly question, but is it normal for my l300 sliding door step to be crooked compared to the body? See pics below. I've looked underneath and nothing appears obviously tweaked...

Howdy all - Took Daisy (my '91 l300) out for her first real adventure this weekend. She did very well on the ~15 miles of forest service road. The ride is a bit jarring through the rough stuff, but I think that is expected with the cab over design. The van attracts a lot of attention with...

After getting under my new to me '91 L300 for an inspection, the rear diff is showing signs of leakage (pics at bottom). Maybe from the filler plug, rather than drain plug. I suppose I ought to figure out what is up with a fluid change. So, here is what I'm thinking for basic steps with a few...

On my recently acquired L300, I have a couple interior light that need replacement. I specifically want to start w/ the door lights. What is the proper way for removing the lens without breaking stuff? It looks like you just pry off the red lens with a flat blade screwdriver, but a little gentle...

Got the new (to me) '91 Delica out in the Spring snow. Handles very well. Zero issues in the 4-5" of fresh. She wasn't too happy to wake up at 19 degrees. Started up on the first turn of the key, but was rough for 2-3 minutes. Never owning a diesel before, I'm not sure if that is expected. I've...

Hi all- I've been reading this board for a while, hoping to eventually make a post here. I am the new owner of a 91 L300. I'm super stoked. I live in Colorado, where the vehicle is already titled, licensed, etc. I'm sure I'll have plenty of annoying questions, but will avail myself of the...
