A large part of what you gain when purchasing from Vanlife Northwest is access to our knowledge base and experience throughout the life of your vehicle. No one in the US has more hands-on experience with these vehicles, and solutions for problems gleaned only from that first hand experience.
This van is RHD ( right hand drive ) but is very easy to get used to. Although the steering wheel is on the right side, the control pedals are oriented the same as a standard domestic vehicle (gas pedal on the right, brake in the middle, clutch to the left) so your reflexive driving skills are preserved. This is a JDM import, similar to the domestic Toyota 4x4 vans from 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989, or like a Town Ace, Master Ace, LiteAce, or Mitsubishi Delica. You VW Volkswagen Syncro Vanagon and Westfalia camper guys would digg this thing as well.

I had one of these for 14 years and did over 200kms myself for a total of around 430,000kms. Regularly towed an excavator and carried 500+kg of tools and materials. Yes, they're the best vans of the era. ... You don't need an EGT monitor.

Hi, can you give me any info on these constant 4x4 models, I have the early model that has a proper 4x4 with the hi/lo range and the locking hubs but I have know idea how these ones work and if they are any good off road or not because I want to update my van and these newer models don't have the older style 4x4. Thanks.

Some nice mods - I've heard of the fan clutch mod! Have you tried any of the coolant hose mods out there? I agree with you on the superiority of the Hiace when it comes to reliability.
