Hi.
Just a quick one to show you a vital modification that should be done to any suzuki. No more losing your bottle opener whilst on drunken camping trips.
Also could double as an added security device to deter spare wheel theives by blocking access to the wheel nuts.
What do you reckon?

Also I'll be posting pics of my full length false floor camping bed for LWB vitara soon.
188cm of sleeping space.
Steve.

Yeah I know about the door striker but I have a rear mounted tent that seals around the back of my car so this is more of a convenient place for me to have it, plus half the time I go to Double island, the place is infested with march flies so keeping the doors shut is vital if you want to sleep without a car full of them.

Stop being such whingers. I'm 198cm! You just sleep diagonally (220cm) or hang your feet off between the two front seats. It's not like suzuki's are big cars so that's the best I could do.

Grave dig!

I normally use the seatbelt buckle to open bottles... Sometimes they even have a big enough hole that you can do it like a proper bottle opener with them!

look up "the ring thing" I nearly got one ages ago, but I dont wear rings.

I keep one of these in my wallet at all times, handy as anything

I would suggest never taking stubbys on a fourby trip, too much rubbish to take home. Unless your one of those pricks who just dump shit wherever

The 'ring thing' sounds great and all, until you get some of your skin caught between the bottle cap and you ring. After several drinks, this could well indeed, be a bad cause though love the insight :)

lasts better in my sierra than it does in my brothers GQ, and we drive the same stuff at the same speed. mind you, if the eskys in mine its tied down at the front of the tray so its between rather than over the axles, and in his its free to bounce around. oddly i've never had broken bottles... plenty of flat beer, but thats part of 4wding :beer:

Oettinger cans.. My camping fav!!

500ml/can, tastes great and well priced coz it's not Gucci labeled beer...

I don't normally do beer from a can, but Oettinger is bloody good :)
