Once I know the exact price and who is interested I'll send out PMs. Cash or PayPal is fine.

Hey all,
My coworker is Taiwanese and I had her look into "Yijia" brand. We were not able to find anything. Does anyone know of the manufacturers website or how to spell the word in Traditional Chinese. Just trying to do some Due Diligence for everyone. ;)

Hi All, the place I found in Bellingham that said they could get Superwinch's in Delica L300 size is Schuck's Autoparts stores. They have lots of stores as recently merged with several other auto parts stores, website has the initials of 3 of the merged companies:
http://www.cskauto.com. But they recently changed name to O'Reilly auto parts. They don't do service or installs.
The branch in Bellingham (near Walmart) was not as helpful as the very friendly Lynden branch (about 20 minute drive exactly due east of Walmart store on a fast road). I went there with Almac to get some Rancho shocks that no-one else had, great prices. I think things are a bit confused while they assimilate stock from various dusty warehouses and shops across usa.
UPDATE: Fexlboi just phoned them but they didnt have them in stock, Their computer does NOT show stock. They need to call the warehouse on the East Coast.
Regards, Christine (who really loves the normal auto-hubs : not having to touch the oh-so muddy manual hubs after off-roading, and who really loves not having to get out in the rain to walk around to undo the passenger side manual hub when driving solo).

just another idea is to install these and back it onto a tow dolly and tow it backwards front wheels down, not sure if that would fit the bill for you.

No, I would prefer to do without the dolly or a trailer. I will continue to pursue flat towing. If I fail at that, I will abandon the idea. My vision is to flat tow the Deli to Mexico behind the motorhome. If I need another licence plate, it won't work.
thanx

I believe it is: "益佳" and a link I found is:
However when I got there the "translate to English" facility didn't appear to work.

I will take the Yijia.
Hopefully we dont get burned on poor quality, but I will take the risk. >.<
FYI, Paypal should work for everyone. Paypal can create a "linked site" where non members can make direct payments. fexlboi needs to set that up though.
