Today we officially say goodbye to the Mitsubishi Delica! The awesome JDM 4x4 Camper Van. In it's place, the Sequoia gets more offroading/overlanding modifications including a Borne Offroad Awning, and a custom fabricated swing out!

The Delica was cool, but it does make sense to sell it given this will more or less replace it. Could even look at getting or building a camper trailer at some point, maybe something big enough to tow a car too. Like one end is camper and other is flat bed. The wheel not clearing the trailer is kinda a bummer. I'd be tempted to just leave it, and live with it though, unless you feel you need to get back there often throughout a trip. But typically once at your destination you'd probably want to unhook the trailer anyway.

@_Gingium_ Жыл бұрын

Yeah that's a good point. I'll probably leave it for now and see how annoying it is lol.

@Feuillo Жыл бұрын

That 2UZ is a beast of an engine. The 4th gen 4Runners use an almost identical powertrain. Sequoia's are unbelievably capable for what they are. Wish you the best of luck on all the builds as always! As a toyota guy, I'm extremely hyped for this build.

Awesome project! Weight distribution hitches move the ball back a few inches. Plus they make the trailer tow better! I had a similar problem with my truck tailgate hitting the trailer jack. Weight distribution hitch moved it back just far enough and it’s perfect!

You could articulate the hinge end so that the heim hinges lift up and also out, this would make the opening swing out closer to the body when it needs to be. Also at the left side, it looks like the end floats with a pin to keep it closed. You could use some tubing to rest the closed pipe into, cut in half horizontally like a u shape cupping it and taking the weight when closed, only like 50mm, and also pinned when closed.

@kevinbenitez3762 Жыл бұрын

Where the pin goes for the swing out, you could try putting some kind of bushing to hold that side with reduced noise so it’s not metal on metal

I love the car but please update your tranny cooler after 1 hour of solid off road on sand the tranny and center case overheats. The kit is a great upgrade. Also rust protect all the rear gate insides they tend to fail. Otherwise when you do timingbelt change starter. Cheers and you are a great mechanic

I always enjoy the videos and your ever increasing skill set. Please incorporate some safety catch (or leash) to that spare tire. I don't think that carrier is going to last very long and dropping an 80 pound round projectile on the freeway is a HUGE liability. There will be no company behind the building of it to sue, guess where they will be coming....Especially with this video out there.

Even tho you're not into serious offroading, I would recommend using a kinetic rope such as Yankum's instead of a tow strap if you need to recover / be recovered on an offroading situation. Tow strap are violent for the vehicles and you might damage tow points or even the frame of the vehicle if you bump it, while it's way less likely to happen with a Yankum Rope. Watch some Matt's OffRoad Recovery videos if you don't know what these are, you'll directly understand why it may be better With that said, for flat towing with using brute force / bumping into it to get things moving, tow strap is gonna be fine ;)

I'm worried the support you made that connects the body to the bumper is going to tear off. The frame is usually totally independent from the cab. Allowing the whole truck to flex on the body mounts and it being fixed at that one point might end poorly. Only speaking from experience I did essentially the same exact thing
