I like the clean look of the smaller mirrors. Most delica L300's have huge obnoxious mirrors and I own one. Do you know what kind of mirrors the vans have in this video? Cheers
+Mike Sidic Those mirrors came of a Mitsubishi WA van. also known as a walk-through van. Another good point is that they have curved mirror glass, so less of a blind spot. Bolt straight on the L300 Express vans.
+Martin VanMan Thanks, I find lots of them for sale in Australia. Trying to source them in Canada where I'm from looks to be harder. At least I know now what to look for. Cheers.
Hello again from San Diego , another great vid! Been following you awhile. God how I wish we could get those diesel Mitsubishi vans here in the states closest we have are sportsmobile full size Ford vans with a huge 6.0 or 7.3 diesel or V10 with like 4 tire revolutions to the gallon 😂💦 Ok maybe 8mpg on a good day! Do the mitsu come from factory with a lot of camping equipment or is it most custom work?? If you don't mind me asking how much do they cost straight out of factory?? I LOVE THEM
DiegoDad Glad you enjoy the videos. More coming soon! Just a detail: both vans in this video are pwered by petrol engines (or 'gas' as you call it in the US 😉). Our mileage isn't great but probably better than 8 mpg. Usually around 8 km per litre of unleaded petrol (91 or 94 when E10 blend with ethanol). The L300 came in short and long wheel bases with low and high roofs. All camper fit outs are home made custom jobs as far as I know. Mitsubishi stopped manufacturing the 4x4 versions around 2000 while the last import in Australia sold in 1998 for about AU $40,000 I am told. Your neighbours in Canada do import quite a few of them straight from Japan. Most of them are the more luxurious models known as Delica and Starwagon. Most L300 Delica are powered by the 2.5 litre turbo diesel engine with an automatic gearbox. We drive around in the more spartan version with the 2.4 l petrol engine (16 valves, efi, 145 hp) and manual gearbox. Works fine for me but it could use reduction gears for the rock hopping bits. Maybe one day...
Martin VanMan oh really my mistake, they do come either diesel option though right? I'd prefer them for the torque and reliability. As I stated all we have close is the fords which suck on petrol 😉 or diesel lol
You can import these vans into the US from Japan, usually with low miles and in great shape! I know it's trickier to get them into Cali though, with all their extra emissions regs.
Yeah, that last hill is a bit of a challenge, ae? Great to see you push the van to it's limits
Well done. Very very good.
Muito bom

DiegoDad Yep, 2.5 litre diesel or usually 2.4 litre petrol for you to choose.

Did you make it to the end?
+Gugga Bump Just about!
Martin VanMan n
do you ever drag along L400 delicas if so how do they go?
I haven't yet but I think they would have trouble following me :-)
Dont they have the same running gear and suspension ?
+david zimmerman They have more overhang at the front, a longer wheelbase and maybe less clearance
+Martin VanMan what size tyres do you have there and the lockers im told you have to get pajero diffs to get air lockers?
i have mitsubishi l300diesel turbo.
