The ADVTIME van, a Mitsubishi Delica L300 StarWagon 4x4.

How-to Videos

This is BMO, my 1993 Mitsubishi Delica L300 StarWagon 4×4 van that came from Hokkaido, Japan in 2023. It’s a right-hand drive, 5-speed, turbo diesel, high-roof, Exceed model.

Since buying it I have done the following work on it:
• Replaced the rear leaf springs after an eye cracked in half
• Installed Bilstein shocks on the front
• Installed used Thule high-foot roof rack (x2)
• Installed WolfStorm 8′ awning
• Installed used Yakima RocketBox cargo carrier
• Installed Xplormor L300 Side Ladder (see video)
• Rescued rims from a Montero and refinished them
• Tinted the windows at Bing’s in Minneapolis (great work!)
• Installed ClimAir wind deflectors on front doors
• Stripped down bull bars, steps, and bumpers and repainted
• Replaced FM/Cassette stereo with ATOTO CarPlay stereo
• Replaced interior lights with LEDs
• Replaced rear gate lights with LEDs for illuminated “DELICA”
• Re-indexed the torsion bars (see video)
• Sewed custom light-blocking curtains from koi-print fabric
• Designed and built camper insert (aka The Delicamper)


Stickers

I have made some replica stickers for the van, either to save money or because I didn’t find them elsewhere.
You can order them from me and I’ll mail them to you!
