It’s been nearly five years since we’ve had our van, aka, the Travel Tractor. So it seems appropriate that our 1994 Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear walkaround video finally happens. So, without further ado, see the motion picture above.

Mitsubishi Delica Deep Dive FAQs
I’ve written quite a bit about Mitsubishi Delica vans. From the Star Wagon (L300) and Space Gear (L400), to the Delica D:5, I’m passionate about these JDM vehicles. Heck, I even run the MDOC: Mitsubishi Delica Owner’s Club on Facebook. Because of all this, I get a lot of the same Delica-related questions over and…

When we bought our 2005 Subaru Forester XT, it came with a bunch of go-fast parts, coilover suspension, and a host of maintenance already done. However, as with many older vehicles, its headlights had yellowed. over the years. Shortly after our purchase, a mysterious Amazon box showed up, and inside was a 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System kit with a note. “Polish those headlights!” It was from my friend, Jon, from 4 High Garage. Plus, I’ve always wanted to learn how to polish headlights, so this was great!
I finally got around to polishing the headlights this week, and this kit worked very well. The kit is around $16 (thanks, Jon!) and was very easy, so long as you have a drill and can follow directions. To polish headlights, you simply use the included sanding pads and, eventually, the included rubbing compound. The results as you’ll see in the video are impressive for a $16 kit.
I also had enough pads and compound left to polish the corner markers on my Mitsubishi Delica too, which turned them from a faded yellow to a clean, shiny, and smooth look.
Hopefully, this video helps those who are looking to polish headlights on their vehicle. For the price, it’s hard to beat. When you have friends like Jon who send you the kit, you have no choice but to use it!
Rolling Stock Review: BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S Plus On Our 2005 Subaru Forester XT
When we purchased our “bought not built” modified 2005 Subaru Forester XT (with the 5-speed manual), we knew the first thing that had to be changed: wheels and tires. This fact was hammered home as the Subaru would easily turn into a drift missile around corners, especially in the rain. Admittedly, the low grip was…

Back in January 2024, we bought a 2005 Subaru Forest XT. It had 190,000 miles, a bunch of go-fast mods, and was ready to inject some speed into our fleet. So what have we been up to with it since? Quite a bit, actually.

Well, if you’ve ever wondered what a 1992 Mitsubishi Pajero radiator looks like, behold. You may be wondering: why is Andy here with a Pajero radiator? Well, wonder no more. Here’s the scoop.

Our goal with our Crosstrek was to add just a bit more capability to it. We want to hop in it and go pretty much anywhere we want (within reason). So after we added the 15×7 Reika Seeker wheels and 215/75/15 BFGoodrich KO2 tires, we added a light bar, lights, and armor to our 2022 Subaru Crosstrek. You can see how we did this in our Subaru Crosstrek video above.

We drove the Travel Tractor, aka our 1994 Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear, to the Denver area to pick up an Egoé Nest Supertramp camper setup. While we were there the crew from TFL invited us over to have a walkaround done on our Mitsubishi Delica on TFLoffroad, their 4×4/overland-centric channel.

I’m a hopeless wheel and tire junkie. I absolutely love what a great set of wheels and tires can do to a car’s appearance. And, of course, we knew our Crosstrek would end up with a good set of rollers and shoes. Before making our selection, I did a bunch of research on which way…

Today, our 2022 Subaru Crosstrek finally crossed over 1,000 miles! But shortly before that, we installed yet another modification, this time in the form of a Nameless Performance Strut Tower Bar. This modification is done to help increase handling and structural rigidity and decrease chassis flex on the Crosstrek. If this helps to increase handling, we’re all for it.
