Hello there,

We wants windows all around. The options are taking a passenger van or a cargo and add 5 windows (2 back, 2 passenger side, 1 driver side).

I’m seriously leaning toward the passenger option: factory installation, less chance of leaking It’s probably be a 10yo transit, we will have to deal with airbags, ducts, heater in the back, etc

Before committing , I would love to hear any feedback for passenger dwellers or cargo ones that installed windows with no leak after several years.

Thx!!

I’m planning to drive to Tukyotatuk (on the artic sea , farther north you can get by road in Canada), and I’m trying to find the right vehicle.

The challenge of this road is the last stretch is rough (Dempsey hwy), and there is NO support whatsoever. So you need something that is reliable and can handle the rough.

I’m looking at several options. Delicas are cheap (compared to a Land Cruiser or truck) and big so you can sleep inside comfortably.

Now, I m hesitating between go a L400 or a D5. The L400 will handle the rough easy. It’s easier to fix, but I also won’t find parts up there. Also it will be 5 to 10 years older than a D5 so it needs constant maintenance (meh).

The D5 is a « modern » platform , outlander engine will be easy to source, but it’s harder / more complex to DIY. It can handle some rough as long as things don’t get messy (like large puddles of mud).

Did I get that right ?
