Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

delicat wrote:5000lbs, is that safe working load or max. load? Given that the van is 4000lbs and that doesn't include the weight involved of the mud where you might get stocked... I'd suggest you return them and wait to find good one on sale.

I've seen some decent ones on sale at Cdn Tires last/this week... Princess Auto is always a good choice.

shoot, i wasnt thinking... i can return it

forgot to mention that i got loaned a hi lift jack! a friend had it in his shop. it wont get his 37" tires of the ground (land cruiser wagon)

i definitely need a recovery strap

Did you pick up a good air compressor and a tire repair kit? Be sure to carry extra of those gummy plugs; used all that came in one package more than once (a Delica meet/the Duffy lake road and Bella Coola hwy, and a week in the Boo) – but that was with using/lending the plugs to others with flats. When lending then to the big tired rig owners (whom seem just too rarely to carry a pricey ~37” spare), they have needed four or five to get’r’done.

i havent yet.. its on the list. 12 days to go!
