    Oooooof. I killed the deli last night.

    On the way home from my in-laws last night. Lost heat, and started overheating badly. Temp gauge at the top line (but not in the red zone). Started seeing the battery and water separator dash lights light up during cornering/turning. Started seeing steam shooting out of left side behind front...

    steering wheel refinish

    My fan came with an aftermarket steering wheel (don't they all?!) that was basically ready for the bin. The leather was trashed. So I decided to try my hand at refurbishing it by stitching up some new leather. I think it turned out OK. Took hours and hours. I would never do it again! First I...

    Roof Rack. To cut or not to cut....

    Hey folks. I have a rack that came with the van when we brought it over. its pure 90's Japanese cool. The thing is, I want to put a roof top tent up there and so I want a little smaller of a basket. My thought is that I can cut the basket back to the second cross bar. Then use the other two...

    what do I need to replace now?

    Just crawled under the rig to slap an oil pan heater on. (wouldn't start the other day at -10F) Found this wire hanging loose. Assume it came off the plug circled in the pic. I may just resolver it, but if I don't/can't do that, what should I be looking to buy?

    Aftermarket/Alternative seats?

    Dudes. My drivers seat is beginning to show signs of 25 years of asses in the saddle. Do y'all know of any decent replacement options? I was thinking that the leather stow and go seats out of a dodge caravan may fit well, but I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel if there are good solutions...

    Fried wire!

    While working on taking care of the big ol’ hole in the footwell (I think I found my leak...) I came across this burnt ass wire in this connector. I don’t have access to a wire diagram. Any ideas on what this wire is/was powering?

    License plate lights.

    My license plate lights were rusted and not only discoloring the hatch but about ready to fall off. I figured the panel was already off, and I had all of those little LEDs left over from fixing the “Delica” light. Sooo....

    how do YOU pronounce DELICA?

    I watched the camper conversion video that was recently posted.. (http://delicaforum.com/index.php?threads/clever-camping-conversion.1094/#post-7947) During the video the dude calls his van a "da-LEEK-a" whoa. Mind blown. So is it DEL-ica or de-LI-ca?

    I am in the process of pulling the front bull bars in order to give it all a coat of paint and do some rust remediation. I need to pulling the lower front grill in order to remove the bull bar brackets. Before I go and tear it apart with brute force, I thought I’d ask y’all how it comes off?

    Alternator belt change

    I am getting all of the parts lined up to do the alternator in my 92' diesel Jasper. I would imagine that when swapping out the alternator, I would be best advised to change the belts at the same time. By the looks of it this means swapping the other two accessory belts as well. So, how much...

    Rear hatch won't open!

    Well I can't get the damn hatch open. Unlocking with the key doesn't seem to do anything. Unlocking with the switch on the dash doesn't work either. I guess I will have to take off the interior panel to get it figured out. Any helpful tips for getting panel off/getting the latch sorted out?
