Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I gave up fourwheeling fourteen years ago, when my first kids were still toddlers. My youngest is now twelve, and my oldest son is sixteen. The boys wanted to take our 97 Cherokee on a few trails, so last month we went out to Sand Hollow to play in the sand and on a few rock slopes. What a day. My mind was flooded with memories of my son (then two) and I exploring the Moab slickrock...I was hooked. I decided that I needed my own trail rig. One that could take me anywhere my nerves would let me. Over the years I have had may different 4x4s (5 Jeeps, 2 Samurai, Land Rover, Explorer, Bronco) some modified but most were stock. My favorite has always been the Samurai.
I set out a plan on paper to take a stock Samurai and build it into my dream trail rig. Nothing wild, just a trail capable rig that retained the simplisity and character of the stock Sami. I made a list of all the modifications I would make, set up a phasing plan, and commenced my search. I was shocked at the prices a stock Samurai were getting. I had paid less for a one year old Sami back in 1987. During my searching I came upon a built rig in SLC that was exactly how I envisioned my goals and then some. I made an offer and the deal was struck. I pick the truck up tomorrow.
Some of you may recognize it. I found several photos from a couple of years ago posted on this site.
