Tech Deck
Absolutely BUILT from head to toe, this Starwagon has been transformed into the first-ever DECKED Delica! One of the most customized Delicas on the continent, This 1992 Diesel L300 campervan, nicknamed “Tech Deck,” is a fully kitted overlander with wide-ranging bolt-on add-ons, an interior buildout, huge mechanical upgrades & overhauls, and cosmetic strappings galore… Tech Deck’s unprecedented interior buildout has been equipped with two custom fabbed DECKED drawer systems complete with the interchangeable sleeping/cargo platform: a prototype done right! If you look outside, you’ll immediately notice premium additions like a pop-out canopy, frontrunner roof rack, snorkel, and overhead storage box… And, Under the hood, you’ll be struck by Nomadic Van’s beefed-up Nomadic Maintenance Package, Stage 3 Performance Tune, engine intercooler, rebuilt transmission, diesel parking heater, upgraded suspension, and a 2“ lift, just for starters…
With its overhauled 4D56 driveline, well-maintained interior, and extra-responsive suspensions system, this L300 van was the perfect platform for such an extensive #vanlife project. Additionally, Tech Deck also boasts good mechanical upkeep throughout its North American life and will easily keep trekking for another 30+ years with routine maintenance. A joy to drive & camp out of all season round, this ambitious 4x4 brings complexity, usability, and retro flare together in one… With much more to be said about this overlanding classic, let’s let the full feature list below do the rest of the talkin’!
