Really enjoyed that show.
Got my mom to watch it.....then she abruptly quit, she didn't like the fact that they had a "Gay" couple on there.

Irony was....she's a huge Oprah Winfrey fan!!

There was a rumor going around that a new Northern Exposure might be produced and that it might be filmed in Roslyn again. I live about 15 miles away so the Brick is one of my go to spots. They make a AWESOME French Dip which is my fav sandwich. Roslyn is turning into a tourist destination spot now which has most of the locals not happy. But it is still a fun place for a stop over on a motorcycle ride or? Taken a few first date to the Brick as most everyone knows where it is.
I watch NE when it first came out and then when it hit the reruns. I enjoyed it more because I live in Alaska as a kid and then in the Army so it was funny to me.

The “daily” if it had to have a label haha it’s usually what I drive to work and the vehicle I’ve owned the longest. I inherited it from my grandfather over 10yrs ago and it will never be sold. Too much sentimental value to hand it over to someone else.

What I originally sold my Jeep to buy. 2006 E55 AMG. Sold my TJ about 3yrs ago and used the money to pay for almost half of this car. Just as I finished paying this thing off, the people I sold my TJ to contacted me to see if I’d be interested in buying it back. That was a definite yes because I had regretted selling the Jeep almost every day even though I love this AMG LOL

Last in the fleet, my 2007 Triumph Speed Triple 1050. Nothing better than knocking out almost 500 miles in a day on this thing.

I'm a Triumph fan also but the riding position doesn't work for my any longer.

Two of my old Buell's I use to have.

2005 Buell XB9SX Lightening in Hero Blue

And a 2007 XB12R Firebolt

I regret selling the Lightning the most.

We currently have a 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria, 2 Dr hardtop, a 2003 Ford Mustang convertible, a 2018 Class C, Thor Freedom Elite 24FE, and a 2019 Ford Ranger besides the Jeep. We are car poor

I was looking for a truck to haul random stuff and pull a trailer if/when needed and maybe play around off road a little.

I saw this Rumble Bee for sale and thought, "It's too bad those aren't 4 wheel drive." While walking past it to see a couple other trucks I looked in the window and OMG! It is 4 wheel drive! I

Based on the lower body stuff I won't be taking it off road but at least I don't have worry about snow and ice.

Went on the search for a Rumble Bee when I found my Hemi, the only thing it hauls is "Ass."
I'm in the process of putting a functional Six Pack scoop to compliment my "Vararam Air Grabber" I already put on.
Once I made the Vararam fit my model truck (Air Grabber's don't exist for my 3rd gen), I fabricated the removable snorkel you see.

That thing needs 37s ;)

I know, Right? 37's on this thing would be more difficult than getting 37's on a Wrangler. Even 33's are a tough get on the ZR2. Like trying to fit bigger tires on a Cherokee...The wheel wells are so small you have to lift them out of range of the tires!

Yep, that’s the case with most trucks it’s seems. They make the wheel wheels so small and there’s no easy way to make them bigger. You end up having to lift the truck so damn high that by the time you would get 37s under it, it would look stupid.

I guess that’s one nice thing about the Gladiator. All you need is a 2” lift and you can fit 37s. Well, on the Rubicon model at least.

That’s one thing I love about my Ranger. I run a 3” body lift and 35’s with no rubbing

I'm guessing it isn't easy. What's the biggest you can fit on it with no lift or anything before the wheel wells become an issue?

I'm not sure why these truck manufactures started making such small wheel openings. It wasn't always like that.
