That's the one

Suzuki Sidekick (Vitara over here in the UK)

And it sounds like Lizzy wants it painted bright green when done going on the colour she pointed to the other day in the live stream they did when mounting Rudys tyres

She wants it to be the same color as her welding helmet, if you remember that.

I've seen Suzuki Vitara's over here too.

And just like *that*, Season 6 of The Expanse is in the rear view. (Resting the foot, you know.) Very well done, just like the others, but it felt a bit rushed. What next, now? Hmmmm.....

I know right, rushed...there was a lot going on. Marco bought the farm finally, but everything else that was leading up to something was cut short....making for a lot of "what happened" questions. Very well done like you said, but they needed to let a few more things play out. Like what was up with those alien dogs bringing the dead back to life at the beginning of each episode ? I was guessing those dogs were protomolecule...never know now.

EDIT: If you really want to know what's next, you could get the books. Not the whole set , just the last 3. The novel is very close to the TV series..... I'm thinking about it.

Well, parcel 1 has been delivered

Looks like they put 1 lower in parcel 1, and the rest in parcel 2

And yup, I need the passenger side and they put the drivers side in parcel 1... Doh...

Unfortunately parcel 2 is still in Memphis...

Now I see why Matt and others say "Trail Mater" is the boss. This guy and that wrecker are incredible. Haven't seen anyone manipulate hair pin turns in the mountains using the lockers and brakes while trailering a tow quite like this yet. Yea, watch how he does that, -


EDIT: You guys with FB might already know this fella. I may have to get an account, I'm missing out lol. First time I've seen this guy making his own recoveries.

Comments here are as I am watching it...

Dam he can drive that thing....

Love the braking system he has so he can lock the rears independently

And you can tell he knows what he's doing as he is guiding the Jeep around that 90 deg corner and then adds just 1 rock so the trailer makes it too....

Those switchbacks..... one hell of an obstacle course

Don't know if I would have rode down in it, Think I would have walked with the camera man... lol

Now subscribed....

Yeah, Rory is one helluva driver and fabricator.

I am pretty sure the brake system Paul put in the FJ is similar to Rory's. I need to make it a priority this summer to go see all of these dudes at an show or event.
