Hello all,
Looking forward to meeting everyone and doing some runs. My wife Lori & I will be at the June meeting to say "Hi" We used to go wheeling two to three times a month 15 years ago, then as sometimes what comes about for a lot of people "life happened" We have known Tom & Ronie Dove for a long time and I saw his wheeling video on Facebook it made the "wheeling bug" come back. Contacted Tom and he invited me to check out Gold Hills Posse & are looking forward to hopping rocks again.
Our Suzuki Samurai is a '86 with currently 307,000 miles. Stock Engine to be rebuilt very soon with a few internal performance improvements. The suspension has trailmaster 3" lift springs & 4" shackles. Currently in between "off road" tires. I will run 31x10.50x15, it has 4:11 gears. Many future upgrades to come, the main one is Trail Creeper 6.5:1 crawler gears in transfer case. Springs over axle. Armor and building a on board air system.

See you soon

David & Lori Fountain

If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

Welcome to the board. I'm always impressed what one of those Sami's can do with some modifications.

Dave, you'll need to pull out some pics to show how much sound equipment used to get packed in the Sami each Sunday morning. Looking forward to our next adventures.

Do you even fit in a Sammi? Did your head stick out of the roof? You're like 9 feet tall!

I will admit, I couldn't drive either of them with the doors on. I couldn't get my foot off the clutch.

Um...what?

Thanks for the warm welcome, Looking forward to meet you all.

I will enjoy putting together that mile long upgrade list with ya, it's the 1" long budget that's the problem 🙁

When I went into Barretts Lake, getting my foot off the clutch was the problem. But I think that was a "operator" problem not a cab room issue. embarassed

If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.
