Hey mate, great tips and vid - thanks! We have a 1996 JB470 too!! Just looking at upgrading to solar on ours now. Hitting a hurdle with not being able to figure out what the size (Amps) of the alternator is. Would you have any idea or any idea where to find out? Looking forward to seeing the rest of your mods on this beauty! Cheers
Hey! I’m a Utah TH-camr as well. Super stoked I found your channel. If it doesn’t sell, I may look at a 93’ JB500 next week. He says it runs good, instrument cluster doesn’t work though. Goal is to live in in full time. My understanding is that it’s pretty much a Delica chassis? Are parts and service difficult to deal with? Anything you suggest I keep an eye on? Thanks for reading!
Thanks for stopping by one thing to remember is the 500 weighs more than the 470 and these things are very very slow like 40 miles an hour up a hill sometimes. I don’t know how good the deal is on it, but it is a cool vehicle for sure. Parts are very hard to get though I have had two breakdowns on my current journey and it was a weak of waiting for each part I couldn’t get anything without express shipping that took over three days plus the repair. That is the one thing when I bought this I thought would be easier to get our parts. I did not realize it would be so difficult and every time I bought parts, they say this is the last one of these or you can’t find these outside of Japan now that kind of stuff
What are some of the parts you have had to wait on? Is it more general parts like oil filters air filters, water pump etc? Or is it more like parts of the motor or transmission? Thanks what websites do you use for parts?
Look professional... good job
Thank you!

In other words would it be worth it to stock up on certain parts to avoid waiting?
