Re: Handling/suspension

Just how easy is it to do-it-yourself the torsion bars? I'd like to do it myself if I can. Body rolls and nose dives make control on slick icy roads precarious at best. I also travel a great deal on gravel roads, and the chattering whoop-de-doos all over the place pitch my van around. I haven't even...

Re: Antennae

I have 2 pillars, each with 2 antennae, in addition to the regular radio antenna on the driver's side. They are on the rear corners of the roof, and they read, "City Road Diversity
Antenna." The cords with plugs in my glove box correspond to these.

Antennae

What the heck are all those antennae for? I have
4 plugs sticking out of my glove box, and I don't have anything cool
to stick them into!!
How hard is it to re-calibrate the radio so it works in
North America?

Re: Block Heater

Maybe I'll have to stick to the Toyota when out with my hunting hounds. In weather below -25 how long could one leave a parked Delica b/f it wouldn't start without some kind of assistance? For example, if my truck were parked outside a barn for a few hours while I shod some horses inside, would I be...

Re: Block Heater

I live near Pigeon Lake in Central Alberta. I plan to park the Delica inside my blacksmith shop at night in the winter. However, I do spend a fair bit of time in the foothills with my hounds during the coldest months. I was planning on hanging a trouble light attached to a portable battery in the en...

Handling/suspension

I use my 91 Exceed for a work vehicle. I shoe horses, so I carry a fair bit of weight - anvil, steel, tools, etc. The vehicle handles it well. The leaf springs in the back exhibit performance contrary to their puny appearance!! My van does have a bit of body roll, especially front to back during bra...
