What did you do TO your Delica today?

Changed one CV boot. Like most things on the van, the first time it takes me all day, next time should be about ten minutes.

When I was getting work done on my wagon back in 2008 I found and purchased a cheap Japanese camping kit which included one item called the "Cute California Shower" and I've used it when camping, out in the toolies, by myself. Now I need it more than ever as I'm working and require a shower at the end of the day ~ but there are people milling about and I don't want to scare anyone. In short: I rigged a curtain about the tailgate (of my wagon) with velcro tape and here's how it looks!

There's a telephone shower hose that connects to an adjoining hose coming off the tank in the bag (top right of the bag).
There is also a switch beside the hose that turns the pump on and off as I require the water:

Another power line goes from the tank to a cigarette plug that Jay installed into the bulkhead some years back, behind the battery bay.
This delivers power to the pump in the tank:

It's great to have this option and still be "at one" with Mother Nature! Then I can have a shave/scrap in the mirror above the tailgate.

What no risque shots of you using the shower, something to titilate (delight, amuse, touch lightly or tickle) the female viewers.

Finally installed my led DRL's, split my headlights in my barbie and laid out a 20 led string in each headlight. They are so bright and just fit in the base of the headlight. I bought an extra set in case they burned out but never want to split the HL's again. Somewhat intimidating, verging on melting the plastic case but luckily the job turned out great.

Oh! painting the bull bars is going well and should result in all the white bars painted soon. Hate that rust. Glenn suggested painting the front bars grey to match the lower section of the fox but I think matching green on the front and white on the rest of the bars will be best.

Back to black rounded up the black plastic. It took 3 coats to blacken but was worth the effort.

F&R anti swaybar bushings then upper ball joints will follow. It's time to get ready for 4x4 fishing and hunting trips this fall.

Finally replaced the front 6.5" speakers with some Alpine SXE-1725s. Cheap replacements and a HUGE difference.

My rear hatch delaminated on the the inside so I resealed it. It's not dry and already sounds less tinny when I close it.
I also removed the six disc CD player under the passenger seat.

My remote door lock fob stopped working. Went shopping for a decent remote start to get new fobs for the doors lol.

Went into visions and ground them down from $420 to 330$ tax in. Remote start and door locks. Can't remember the brand but rated higher than viper or command start. I just want more doors unlocking :)

I didn't mention the remote start to my wife though. Just the doors.
:)

Yesterday I finished the wiring for my rack lights. Remote control works great.

I was told that they have been working extremely well in the cold plus with diesels?
I'll let you know :)

Installed and picked up. Starts good and all the door locks working.
Happy so far!

By luck I noticed the radiator tank was hissing and spitting out fluid from the seam. I'm in the midst of trying a patch job on it, letting the patching compound to dry. I took it out and it does not seem overly brittle so think a patch job until I can find a reasonably priced replacement. Pictures to follow.

also took off skid plates to check hoses and engine so decided to clean them up and paint them for rust protection.

I pulled the alternator out today and in the process sheared off the tensioner bolt for the AC pulley. I guess it's time for some tiny vice grips and a small child's hands to get in there and get the rest out.

Fishtank, Nice job. I am curious though... What is the chrome cylinder behind the air filter and below the master cylinder? A bypass filter?
