Self-Converted Mitsubishi L300 4x4 van fitout/tour

[@132435465768798030]

One of the best designs for these vans that I've seen. Well thought out and executed.

[@jimmychampion69]

Thanks mate! Few hours of planning and lots of back and forth with the design but it came up perfect I reckon.

[@Nicedesk]

Genius how the kitchen slides out to the awning area! Great cabinetry designs!

[@jimmychampion69]

That was the idea, thanks!

[@jono-molly]

thank you, inspirational. Love how you have built your van

[@michaelbinyaminov7527]

С каждым днем наши L 300 дорожают, а другие дешевеют.молодец привет из Израиля.

[@deedeem8485]

I've been watching a lot of these videos and I do mean a lot of them. I'm going to convert mine. Yours is the best by far

[@jimmychampion69]

ha thanks mate, I spent a bit of time looking at other designs and merged them all together 👍🏼

[@MaacAbra]

Now that is some really great yet very simple and smart design! Definitely one of the best I’ve seen. Great work! 👍

[@jimmychampion69]

Thanks mate!

[@maxismolkin]

Amazing...I built several different set ups and this one is by far the best I've seen due to it's simplicity and functionality. I built a cabinet behind the seat that is mounted on heavy duty drawer slideout rails in order to slide it backwards and be able to open the engine bay without taking stuff out of the van. I would consider your set up but I have 2 kids and need the captain chairs for their car seats. Well done

[@jimmychampion69]

Thanks mate, fair bitta time went into the planning. The whole bench the fridge sits on is actually hinged, slide the kitchen out, undo a latch, tilt bench forward and can still access quite easily

[@DavidDoble]

a awesome van , the best for camping or stealth living, cant beat a L 300 . bomb proof,,,,,,

[@jimmychampion69]

thats it mate

[@johnbradley1599]

Well done Jamie. No bells or whistles, just a down to earth setup that obviously works . 👍👍

[@jimmychampion69]

The retractable mixer tap was a bit fancy but tried to keep it relatively simple, works an absolute treat, thanks mate 👍🏼

[@daveclarke5512]

Simple easy set-up just perfect

[@PAULOatham]

Hi Jamie. thanks so much for sharing this. its absolutely amazing. im just about to start a build on a small daihatsu hijet looks very similar in size... what a tardis it is

[@jimmychampion69]

The hijet would likely be a little narrower I think, but would still be able to get something similar to my build I think. Good luck!

[@honyipeter8641]

Amazing build, congrats! Did the added weght affect the performance in any way? Also, how comfortable is it to drive, being 6'8" ? Thanks for the answer :)

[@jimmychampion69]

No noticeable difference at all really. Surprisingly comfy but probably because I’m actually not 6’8 I’m about 6ft so it’s fine for me

[@AndyM...]

Great setup Jamie, I have a 95 Delica, with a similar setup to yours. I've been all over the place in mine and still going strong. Good job !!!!

[@jimmychampion69]

Just can’t beat these little rigs, I’ve got a landcruiser that’s barely been driven since I got the van

[@reddogarsenalchristopher2793]

Best van fit out I've seen.

[@abbasalichinikamwalla7958]

Wow simple economic practical and convenient.....❤

[@jimmychampion69]

That was the plan!

[@rekhavyas8427]

so easy and so perfect bedsetup

[@hankcuccina5260]

Great job there Jamie.

Absolutely Gun brother 👍

[@Carcamper.Telugu]

Loved it... Good work..... ..

[@jimmychampion69]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@br.markanthony574]

Very compact, neat and tidy, love the slide out kitchen, i didnt think you could access the stove inside if it was raining for a cuppa till i watched twice, nice choice of textures, do you have a table for use inside? Great tour, happy trails, 👍🚙👌🇨🇮☘️

[@jimmychampion69]

Tried really hard to make the kitchen somewhat accessible from the inside if need be, can definitely still pull the stove out 👍🏼👍🏼

[@gibbethoskins8621]

Awesome set up. Although 6'8? Damn you need a school bus at that height.

[@jimmychampion69]

Hahah I’m not actually 6’8, wouldn’t be in an L300 if I was any bigger tbh

[@mariebrooks9164]

Awesome work

[@draslamjahan1785]

Very intelligent design

[@nickmitch8731]

Awesome job mate

Thank you 👍🏼

[@keiths314]

Brilliant design!

[@jimmychampion69]

Thanks

[@ziidjy7456]

Great job Jamie I love it ! Do you have any plans to share with us ?

[@jimmychampion69]

If you have an L300 I have a couple sheets with some rough dimensions of how I planned it out, but most of it was eye-balled and done on the fly.

[@ziidjy7456]

@@jimmychampion69 I have a Mitsubishi express 2008 but why not

[@franksomenek3027]

Nice van😎 only thing you are missing is a fantastic vent , you are going to get cocked in summer ☀️

[@jimmychampion69]

Used it a fair few times over summer here in aus and was fine! Have a 12v fan and one window has an external fly screen which we can leave right open and stays quite cool

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

[@cafesolo777]

Cool stuff man!

[@katerhind5044]

Love this! Where do you store bedding/pillows when it’s in bench seat mode? Never seen the fridge mounted above the slide out kitchen - genius! But did you remove the passenger seat to do this? We have a 65l Bushman’s fridge in our current canopy and want to use it in a Delica conversion too but worried about depth.

[@jimmychampion69]

Bedding folds up and sits behind the drivers seat, and no the fridge sits behind the passenger seat nicely I didn’t have to remove it at all.

[@antonispentarakis1289]

Very nice job 👍

[@jimmychampion69]

Thanks mate

Not secret anymore😃

[@actionnait8479]

bravo , beau travail , félicitations

[@9709Tommy]

I love this mate. How big is your water tank? Looking at a similar design but wanting to have 100ltr at least

[@jimmychampion69]

42L water tank inside. Could have definitely gone bigger as there was some wasted space above the tank in order to make it level with the rest of the drawers/sleeping surface.

[@Abhay_k_tiwari07]

This is really woow 🎉

[@dakar795]

So little, and yet so big :)

[@jimmychampion69]

Big things come in small packages… or something like that

[@rohmanF4adv]

Good idea... 👍👍

[@ricjoy6903]

Amazing it's really mitsu L300 4x4 standard or you convert from 4x2 to 4x4...here in Indo i never meet the specs like that...👍🏻

[@jimmychampion69]

Factory 4x4 mate

Машина настоящий друг,после нее хочешь другую.

[@denisebrown7643]

I really like the roof top deck and plan to put one on my van, what brand of roof-rack mounts did you use? Yours look a lot stronger than some I've seen. Thanks 🙂

[@jimmychampion69]

4 x Rhino gutter mount racks, 3 of them are branded ‘nissan’ but exactly the same. We’ve had about 8 people up there and was solid as a rock 👍🏼

[@paulclarke4571]

where is your gas tank

[@warwick4763]

Good and practical layout pity it’s a Mitsubishi L300

[@jimmychampion69]

What other cheap 4x4 van would it be better off in? This thing has been unreal, can’t believe how capable and comfortable it is

[@weishen5938]

Any WA shit?

[@icehog3454]

This is a great set up. Nicely done. Is the bed long enough for your giant frame. And do you fit in the drivers seat ok, or did you have to modify. Asking because I am seriously considering a l300 star wagon over here in Canada and I am 6’6”

[@jimmychampion69]

Hahaha sorry to let you down but I’m only around 6ft, was joking about being 6’8”. My bed length was about 2m Long, could have been longer but it was all we needed. Plenty of room in the drivers seat/area for me, I feel like you’d be best off test driving first to make sure though 😂

[@icehog3454]
