The shop got all the suspension/wheels/tires buttoned up today :) Top pic is the day I first saw my truck at the dealership two March's ago, and of course today, when I drove home from the shop.

Mostly just an oddity and conversation piece. Something you don't see every day. Note that some models can have colored liquid put in them and be a decorative barometer. Being a bit of a sceptic I don't fully buy into the " closed, non-orientable, boundary-free manifolds " claim. But given all the comedy in the web site and paperwork included, maybe he doesn't either.

BTW they are US based (Oakland Ca.) and he calls it his "tiny home business"

Just a novelty. Not a cheap one.
They may be US-based, but I am not, and as every Canadian knows, the shipping (which includes customs duties) from the US usually costs as much, if not more than, the item itself!!

Oops Now I am embarrassed. I could have looked at your profile. Maybe all that snow in your picture could have been a clue to me.

Basically a version of a mobius strip. It has a single contiuous surface (the outside is the inside). It is considered boundary-free because there are no edges like a mobius strip. Not sure about the non-orientable part, but it is closed because it has no startup and no end.

Really kind of neat to look at.

State inspection. Shockingly with 67,000 miles it did not need front brakes yet. Tires were at the state minimum but I knew I needed new ones.

Installed my LFD MaxTrax mount and my MaxTrax. Now, everyone will know how overland I am.
nah man, I saw a guy more overland than you this morning, he was installing a 40"+ curved LED light bar on his hood. (it went from one side of the hood to the other)

I imagine he is installing it right next to the hood so the glare and reflection lights up the sky so he can see when he launches his drone . . .

:rofl3:

and yes, it was on a dodge.

Went for the annual state inspection at my dealer yesterday. Took a little longer than expected, but everything was fine.
1 year Anniversary of taking delivery of my Ranger was this past Sunday ... will have to do something special or buy a new accessory haha. Any suggestions?
