Same!

[@StanleyKubick1]

I've had one of those for years and am pretty knowledgeable about them. if you want to add power, you need bigger mechanical fuel pump and injectors, with a bigger turbo optional. For just a mild bump, straight pipe it with 2" pipe. They'll accept 30x9.5 without mods but anything bigger needs cutting, which becomes a headache real fast, with the seats sitting above the wheel well.

[@clintbusuttil4848]

What kind of injector and pump upgrade could be done on these? Do the ones from the 4M40 fit the 4D56?

[@geoffbell166]

@@clintbusuttil4848 No the 4m40 pump wont fit,but you dont need it,2.5" exhaust and shorten wastegate,turn the fuel up and it got well enuff,i had a Pajero SWB manual for over ten years,and put a clutch and 2cambelts waterpumps in it,and serviced every 5000kms,i was a logger then and used to tow big trailer loads of wood all the time,the 4D56T is a better motor imo than the 2.84m40,they have roller rocker on the cam,and are cheap on diesel,main thing is keep cooling system good,mine had big copper radiator not this plastic crap.

Thank you for joining! And glad you like the van. Getting rid of the bus was indeed sad, but it went to a good owner!

[@SshiggyY]

@@_Gingium_ thats good to hear then! does the owner have any social media/dont mind it being public so we can see what they do with the bus???

[@jordanthornton4803]

You need to put an lsd or a locker in at least the rear, and do some kind of intercooler setup to keep the egt down and probably make a lot more power

[@jacedewitte8779]

Even if not to make more power just to make the power more efficient and useable

[@_Gingium_]

Yes I do! I'm not sure if a company makes a locker for these, but hopefully

[@omgitsoop]

@@_Gingium_ Chamonix and Jasper editions had rear LSDs, it's an 8" rear so fitting an ARB back there would be pretty straightforward I'd think

front lockers add abigger offroading benefit, but this car came with factory lsd and usually manual lockers up front

hell yeah dude, I've taken my old cherokee to that same place!! you gotta take a drive up to Tray Mountain just north of Helen. Its a great trail with some tricky spots, but very doable. .My old 89 cherokee was up and down it many times with just a 3" lift and all terrains. Theres lots of other great and beautiful trails in the area around there as well. . check it out! good vid too man, keep em coming. . missing the Volvo though

Nice Channel! Came here for Volvos and stay tuned for everything!

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

Damn, that thing is sick. Skinny off-roaders always seemed like they would be scary to me. They have the high center of gravity that a traditional off road vehicle does but like half the track with, and I feel like it can't be too hard to flip on on its side lol Is it really that bad though? Edit: Sorry for calling it a Kei van, I don't know any better.

[@LooseWheelFilms]

Pretty sure it is that bad

[@_Gingium_]

It feels pretty sketchy for sure

[@Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

@@_Gingium_ okay haha yeah I'd probably be too scared to do all that and not plop it over on its side.

It's not kei-car though. It has 2.5 liter diesel engine.

[@iro-huncarguy8367]

I think it needs a slight lift kit, maybe a 10mm spacer for the wheels to help with it being so skinny and tall. From seeing this in the video I think it's very easily possible to do. You might have to cut away some little bit away from the front of the steering wheels on the front axle. Behind them seemed fine. It's a cool little toy though, I like it

[@thatslowyukon1362]

I love this build so much 😂

[@redsquirrelftw]

Man this vehicle really looks fun! I see a lift kit in the future. :D

[@bappolappo]

make it even more top heavy? 😅

[@tassiedingo]

The reason it lifted a wheel was the independent front, leaf rear combo alot more than anything else, maybe a coil rear conversion could help the stability alot?

[@FuryZilla]

i was so worried when one of the tires was in the air Lol Shes a beast !!!

[@paultopnotchfishing7506]

Cool little off-road Van... Can't wait to see more of it... My only question is Where do you find the Mods for it.. Are they only in Japan or can you Find them here in the America!

Just checking The wep and all 4x4 Vans Price just 📈

[@Outdoors4adventure]

Very cool.

[@golfmk2driver]

I would upgrade some of the underbody protection. The factory stuff isn't that strong. Also I'd like to see adjustable air ride instead of a normal lift,partly because it's something you haven't done before.

[@faridwakim]

[@ignasanchezl]

IDK if it is the same as my Galloper was, but there's a chance it has a slip clutch LSD on the back. It be nice to see if it can be upgraded, maybe put some carbon clutches in it, and maybe a locker on the front. Have fun with it.

[@Sillyzombie666]

What mods do you have planned for this? Intercooler in its future since you mentioned it doesn't have one and runs hot. Are you keeping all the roof stuff? Or are you swapping it out for a roof tent and are you getting new tirez for it with a more aggressive tread
