Howdy, New to the site Tuesday, August 10, 2010 12:29 PM (permalink)
I moved back to DFW 2 years ago after being gone for about 12 year.  I live in Sachse, TX, married with a 2 year old boy and another one on the way.  I drive an 86 Suzuki samurai which is heavily modified.  I've been to a few place in Southern Cali like Anzoberago Desrt, Ocotillo wells, Calico, run the rubicon, Gone to Moab, Tillimook forrest up in OR where I lived for 3 years and did some other smaller trails in central OR.  In Texas I have only been to the old Katemcy rocks and Barnwell.  I'm hoping to get out more and find some new places.  I've heard about a few relatively close like Rock Creek and Bushy Creek.  I'm not into mud, too messy, too hard to clean, hate getting water in my diffs, etc.  I much prefer rock and dirt.  Prior to rock crawling I rode quads and have a prerunner that I took out to the desert in souther cali.  I was looking for something less deadly but still fun. :)

Anyway, thats my history.  Hopefully I can meet up with some of you sometime and get some wheeling in; when my wife will let me escape.

Here's a few pics of my sami.



I recently tubed the front.


and here's what it looked like when I first got it.




Its gone through a few rebuilds over the years but I think I am pretty much 'done' with the major mods; for now...


Thanks,
Billy

                  Thanks for the invite guys.   I'd like to make it but my wife is pregnant and has been sick with the flu and morning sickness pretty bad.  But if she's feeling better and up for it we will try to swing out.  I like that you guys are family oriented, I love bring my wife and son out so its great that others enjoy doing the same

                    I saw there are a few blazer guys on here.  I used to have a 2000 S10 blazer with a trail master lift.

                          Hey Chris, thanks for the invite!  I really appreciate that.
                          I'd definitely like to swing by some time.
