Driver - Jammin' the Alaskan tundra...
Yo Yo Trooper V6 dudes. Sorry to have been away for so long but that needed to be. I had to deal with an elderly parent and those needs continue. While it may make times a bit hard it is still wonderful to have mom around for us to joke and laugh with so we will deal with it and celebrate her life while we still can. – Thank you for your understanding.
This situation will no doubt put some brakes on some of the fun things I’d like to do here on Trooper V6 such as upgrades and adventures, but it is what it is. I will do what I can with what I have and try to make the best of it. We all have to deal with the times the way they are. What is important is that we enjoy the life we have and make our days as happy and as fulfilling as we can. That’s a part of what Troopers are for and one of the reasons we love them.
To that end, I am going to expand the range of what we do here at Trooper V6. Certainly I will continue to cover what fixes I have to make to keep old Mr. Movida running and cover some of those maintenance aspects I spoke about covering early on. Adventures may be a bit closer to home and probably further apart then I would like but, well…
To make up for that, I hope you won’t mind if I through in a few ancillary goodies from time to time to help make the site a bit more enjoyable. These things won’t always be just Trooper stuff but may include other things we all enjoy along with our Troopers. I am talking about things that would run the range of things like camping and off road gear, good times at the bar-b-que with buddies, good timin’ music and maybe even review a good beer or two when we come across them. I hope you will enjoy these endeavors like I know I will and that you will join in on the conversations with your own comments, stories and photos.
Having a forum with this site is one of my goals. I would like to see a forum where we can all discuss fixes, adventures, gear and equipment, sourcing parts, tools, and the other odds and ends mentioned above and who knows to where forum contents can take us. Forums take some time to set up properly and to moderate so I have to ask for patience here because time is at a premium but I think a forum would be a real plus for bringing us all together and helping us to enjoy our Troopers.
Trooper V6 does have a Twitter account and I will try to get the Facebook page working properly (not too user friendly that Facebook platform when it comes to figuring out how to do things. I may ask for your help on that from time to time). Trooper V6’s Facebook page is a good place to share photos and videos with other Trooper V6 fans. I will have the link up soonest (once I get it all figured out).
So, other than all of that, what say we see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into…
Hooyah!
Mr. Movida @ 304,xxx and counting.
It is wonderful, yes indeed. After three months shy of being on the roads of this great country (that would be America folks) and over 304,8++ miles, the great State of Oregon has once again seen it proper to allow Mr. Movida to again PASS his smog examination and be allowed to re-register. HOOYAH!
As Mr. Movida will after this year be over the fine age of twenty years, he will no longer need to present himself to the State for this exam. People tell me time and time again about how bad the heads and engines are in these old Troopers, but I would have to say that this is one V6 jimmy that wants to contest those comment.
Way to go, Mr. Mo…
