Here's a fun easy-to-watch you-tube series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl52wPdNjj_kwMFRfHWNvm4Np_n2CPP4y

An old prospector had to leave his Suzuki LJ20 out in the woods back in the day, and now he wants to get it back on the road.

The owner's idea is just to get it running so he can put around... but the shop is going to surprise him with a pretty extensive renovation!

The first few episodes are about the recovery, and the rest (still ongoing) are about the renovation. They don't always do things the way I would do them, but I'm really enjoying watching their progress. :thumbsup:
 
I have been watching Matt’s videos for about 9 months now. He goes out and rescues a lot of people after they get stranded in all sorts of predicaments. Ed is one of his sidekicks in his videos. I think it was an avalanche that trapped the Suzuki at his gold mine he was working on.

I've also been watching Matt's videos for a long time. I spent years flying helicopters all around Utah, and I will tell you that the area around Hurricane is some of the most beautiful around. Along with Matt's Youtube channel, check out Robby Layton and Fabrats. Like you said, I don't always agree with their methods, but they do get the job done.
 
I’ve been giving Matt a rest for a few months and watching a group of Aussies who do a lot of over-landing in some interesting vehicle setups and they have a lot of videos from doing years of trips all over Australia.
