Saying Goodbye To This Project... The Sequoia Is Taking It's Place!!!

Today we officially say goodbye to the Mitsubishi Delica! The awesome JDM 4x4 Camper Van. In it's place, the Sequoia gets more offroading/overlanding modifications including a Borne Offroad Awning, and a custom fabricated swing out!

Those gold badges are awesome! In 2023 you can consider them to be retro.

[@mattwood3773]

Retro garbage. Gold badge so ugly..

[@dadadadankable]

Don’t say that. 😂😂😂 Making my 30 year old ass feel super old.

[@_Gingium_]

I agree. I almost blacked them out, now they’re my favorite part lol

[@gamedestroyer8219]

Sad to mention that they don’t make gold versions of any badges Toyota and Lexus are only making silver and black badges now

[@keon8625]

@@gamedestroyer8219 Usually those badges were dealer-installed, not OEM.

[@seanmcleran]

I love the delica, but the Sequoia is the better overall rig for a number of reasons.

[@_Gingium_]

Yup, the Sequoia is better in everyway, just a little less cool.

[@hodad200]

1st gen tundra/sequoia rigs are pretty indestructible. Good choice.

[@_Gingium_]

Definitely underrated

[@jacarajc]

Nothing hits the spot better than a lunch break, some good food, and a gingium video to watch

[@kevinbenitez3762]

Where the pin goes for the swing out, you could try putting some kind of bushing to hold that side with reduced noise so it’s not metal on metal

[@JamieBainbridge]

Delica was a cool build. Looking forward to what the future brings too!

[@_Gingium_]

Things are heating up for the summer!

[@CreatingCars]

Awesome project! Weight distribution hitches move the ball back a few inches. Plus they make the trailer tow better! I had a similar problem with my truck tailgate hitting the trailer jack. Weight distribution hitch moved it back just far enough and it’s perfect!

[@wilsonlobato1337]

And let's face it, i think you looooove building campers, every single one of them is better than the last, and yeah... i love watching the builds.

[@_Gingium_]

Yes, yes I do love building campers lol

[@wilsonlobato1337]

@_Gingium_ and they just get better and better, I'll save up so i can afford to be a patreon hahahaha, here in Brazil, 1 USD costs almost 6 BRL

[@alexshiina]

I'm really gonna miss Delica... But I'm glad to see you doing more overlanding stuff, definitely bring more life into the channel.

[@sergeantspeed5941]

Hitch extenders are pretty common. I've seen some long ones. A local guy has a 2 spot Skidoo bed mounted to the top of his box and the bed sits WAY out the back. I think his hitch extension is like a foot long.

[@_Gingium_]

Oh Jesus. A foot seems a bit extreme lol

[@yuGtahT]

I like this kind of build. Watching you fab stuff that isn't for going fast is refreshing.

[@uniqu3xperience965]

Hello there young man, i have one of this and i use it for outerbanks beach days which i do weekly. I love the car but please update your tranny cooler after 1 hour of solid off road on sand the tranny and center case overheats. The kit is a great upgrade. Also rust protect all the rear gate insides they tend to fail. Otherwise when you do timingbelt change starter. Cheers and you are a great mechanic

[@dannykirby7023]

I would adjust the tire.. move it up a little and tilt the top back

[@Martinjaegarcia]

7:47 H3 on the Telly? A cool channel on a cool channel! Hell yeah!

[@Yann_Poirier]

Even tho you're not into serious offroading, I would recommend using a kinetic rope such as Yankum's instead of a tow strap if you need to recover / be recovered on an offroading situation. Tow strap are violent for the vehicles and you might damage tow points or even the frame of the vehicle if you bump it, while it's way less likely to happen with a Yankum Rope. Watch some Matt's OffRoad Recovery videos if you don't know what these are, you'll directly understand why it may be better With that said, for flat towing with using brute force / bumping into it to get things moving, tow strap is gonna be fine ;)

[@MikeStewardII]

FYI, Koyo makes a radiator for the Sequoia. It’ll be better quality than anything else you’ll find on the market.

[@jrollin09]

Love the Sequoia build! We've had an 07 for over 10 years. Lifting it and putting on 33s and 20s on her soon. Keep up with the great content. 👍

[@forrestclark6069]

I love the Sequoia a lot more, honestly. Good choice, man!

[@_Gingium_]

Glad to hear it!

[@FansyTheFamous]

H3 x Gingium build. No idea what it would be but it would be rad. Love the Sequoia!

[@valdeera]

Why dont you make up few sections of metal bars from your roof basket and weld them to your pivot points for the swing arm. Like an exocage.

[@DiegoHCD]

I'm worried the support you made that connects the body to the bumper is going to tear off. The frame is usually totally independent from the cab. Allowing the whole truck to flex on the body mounts and it being fixed at that one point might end poorly. Only speaking from experience I did essentially the same exact thing

[@mrgmc6314]

RIP MUD PANDA 🐼 V1 OVERLANDER RIP SPOOLBUSS V2 OVERLANDER RIP DELICA V3 OVERLANDER LONG LIVE SEQUOIA V4 OVERLANDER

LONG LIVE 🫡

[@stevencarter7999]

Man. I've been looking at a Sequoia Wish I could find one for 2000 around here.

[@and7976]

You technically welded the body to the frame. The frame and the body move independently because the body mounts are flexible.

[@Justin-up4li]

If that tire mount is still wobbly could you add some tubing to connect it to the roof rack following along the C pillar? It's gonna be difficult to make that long of an unsupported beam sturdy without supporting it on both ends.

[@epp9122]

My thought too

[@desertcoyoteairsoft8412]

You should replace the front bumper with a off road bumper and get a winch.

[@_Gingium_]

Would love to fabricate one sometime!

[@tylertyler3416]

its been awesome watching your fab skills improve video to video, keep up the good work man! been watching since you were playing Forza

[@febrianadji5758]

I saw it coming Delica as good as it is, have very niche purpose since it can't really tow

[@kevinbutler9786]

Please build an off road pop up tent for it!!!!!!!

[@jaredpursey3791]

On Australia we run 150mm extended swing arms... if our government says it's safe you can probably extend it 3 foot and still be safe.

[@beardedphoenix5150]

Do a giveaway on the delica. Makes more sense than just tring to sell it

[@rammithorn2654]

3:06 this gave me some morning giggles lol thanks Ging

[@ALEKSANDR.WhiteGod]

Неплохо, красавчики 👍🙂 А навес бокой почему в мягком чехле, из металла надежные будет.

[@Starfadezz]

My question is why didn’t you put the spare on the roof rack?

[@arifeenaushad9287]

If you could move the mount for the spare just a few inches it should be fine.. use a adapter bracket in between the mount the welded

[@ianhawk3637]

Many companies make a trailer hitch that is extra long to clear tailgates and hatches

[@kkkevv224]

had a set of accelera omikron ATs on my crv and they didn't last long =/ hopefully they'll be better on your rig.

[@mason4683]

Ordered one of their traction board sets. Cool that theyre cheap and have lifetime warranty

[@_Gingium_]

Heck yeah! You'll love em!

[@HuntingWales]

make some rock sliders and attach spare wheel bracket to that.

[@doorgoo]

I would have went up to the roof rack personally for stiffening, and then your ladder could have been part of one or both of those supports

[@ferragamodurag]

Link to buy the Deli?

[@PriceBrian57]

ill buy the delica

[@TheUltrabeast55]

The Delica is cool as fuck. Hope it goes to a good home. The Sequoia is going to be cool and ultimately a muvh longer lived more used truck.

[@_Gingium_]

Yes I agree!

[@yungkidnf]

I'm a couple of days late 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

That's okay, I'm way too many days late.

A long way from the Ford deisel school bus makeover.

[@isaactrockman4417]

The delica was fun but this makes way more sense

[@mrgmc6314]

The ladder is already on the suv it's called the tire you have 2 ladders and a platform called a bumper

[@CaseohsBackflapp]

Halfway through why not two pipes going up to the roof rack on the side so the back door can still open

[@Skiridr22]

No roof top tent?

[@schotzfired]

I would love to see a truck build on this channel, an actual dedicated truck for towing

[@jakeweber4514]

I’m not sure how strong the roof rack is but would there be any way to attach a tube from the tire carrier to the roof rack? It would help with stability if the roof rack was strong. Just an idea

[@RamenPoweredShitFactory]

Either move the wheel up a few inches or mount the trailer a few inches further back/lower

[@_Gingium_]

Yep, probably going to more the wheel up and the storage box back.

[@NathanielNess-qs4zv]

I wouldn’t extend the hitch. If you get in an accident and there is an investigation I feel like you’d get nailed.

You're gonna need license plate lights if your gonna mount the plate near the spare tire.

Your channel is very cool, ive been following since the gaming days. BUT this long and inconsistent periods between the videos are killing your growth so so much unfortunately.

[@1bwm474]

Looks way too light duty.

[@redsquirrelftw]

The Delica was cool, but it does make sense to sell it given this will more or less replace it. Could even look at getting or building a camper trailer at some point, maybe something big enough to tow a car too. Like one end is camper and other is flat bed. The wheel not clearing the trailer is kinda a bummer. I'd be tempted to just leave it, and live with it though, unless you feel you need to get back there often throughout a trip. But typically once at your destination you'd probably want to unhook the trailer anyway.

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah that's a good point. I'll probably leave it for now and see how annoying it is lol.

[@Feuillo]

@@_Gingium_ not to mention couldn't just turning the sequoia a little helps it ? Like if you really need to get to the trunk can't you just reverse like a meter while steering to the right ? I think it would turn the trailer enough to clear the wheel

[@ThatBritishGuy]

Yep i seen this coming a million miles away haha literally commented about it being turned from a tow rig into an overlander despite having an overlander i knew the other project would get ditched haha

[@_Gingium_]

The sequoia is just too practical to keep the Delica around lol

[@the2uzrunner]

That 2UZ is a beast of an engine. The 4th gen 4Runners use an almost identical powertrain. Sequoia's are unbelievably capable for what they are. Wish you the best of luck on all the builds as always! As a toyota guy, I'm extremely hyped for this build.

[@280zone]

I always enjoy the videos and your ever increasing skill set. Please incorporate some safety catch (or leash) to that spare tire. I don't think that carrier is going to last very long and dropping an 80 pound round projectile on the freeway is a HUGE liability. There will be no company behind the building of it to sue, guess where they will be coming....Especially with this video out there.

[@bobberbob.68]

You could articulate the hinge end so that the heim hinges lift up and also out, this would make the opening swing out closer to the body when it needs to be. Also at the left side, it looks like the end floats with a pin to keep it closed. You could use some tubing to rest the closed pipe into, cut in half horizontally like a u shape cupping it and taking the weight when closed, only like 50mm, and also pinned when closed.

[@theautumnwind2152]

Hitch tightener is a necessity! I have a Horror Fright one. Works great.

[@Stackali]

the sequoia just makes more sense for multiple people. the delica is great for one person, but you add a second person and its just too small.

Maybe you should look into roof tents for sequoia. Not that expensive and saves a lot of space for sleeping

[@rhettsalsbury9394]

You gotta get yourself a diesel tow rig Caleb. Preferably a Chevy or a Dodge. You can get those for cheap and reliable.
