    FYI - Stolen Delica from Bend, OR / '92 L300 Diesel Chamonix w/CO Plates

    Just saw this on the Delica forum and thought I'd post to spread the word: https://delicaforum.com/index.php?threads/stolen-delica-please-help.3315/ I'm sure everyone here can empathize with how much it would/does suck having a vehicle stolen and they're unique enough that most Mitsubishi...

    Poly Bushings

    I'll be ordering full poly bushings for my project in the near future and wanted to get the advice and input of others who have installed and run them. Are all poly bushings the same? I presume the material used by different brands is all the same, aside from differing colors and...

    D50 Diesel Build

    I figure it may be time to begin a thread to document my slow burning ‘87 D50 diesel project. I’ve a 1987 Ram 50(D50/MM) macrocab, 2.6 4G54, KM145 5 speed, 4x4, that is rust free, has good bones but a tired engine w/200k+ miles. After looking rather extensively for this exact combination, I...

    100mm CV Axle Questions

    I’ve been researching replacement CV axles and have found several references to the fact that ‘94-’96 3.5 DOHC SRs, and possibly ‘97-’98 3.5 SOHC SRs, have stronger 100mm CV axles vs the more common 95mm Montero/Montero Sport CV axles and can be run with minimal modifications...

    Sway Away vs Old Man Emu Torsion Bars

    Does anyone have any direct experience with either or both of these? I'm planning on swapping a diesel motor into my '87 D50 and likely a front bumper/winch eventually. In addition to that extra weight, I would like to crank the torsion bars a bit, along with longer UCAs and possibly a small...
