hey...

[SAMI]

how's it goin guys? i heard about this forum over on RME. nothing but good things, so i thought i'd come check it out. I've got an '85 4runner built up nicely and i enjoy wheeling it... so much so that i swear i've devoted way too much time to the U4WDA (Utah 4 Wheel Drive Association) to help keep my favorite trails open. I'm a Land Use Officer in that organization, and i enjoy helping out where i can. I've been on RME for years, wildyoats, U4x4C... and so on... anyways, thought i'd say hello... you might hear from me once in awile with some questions...

thanks for the warm welcome...

I can only find one picture on my work computer that fits the 90kb criteria... so here it is, also with a list of the few after market items that are on the rig... few... very few.. i'll try to get afew more up soon if you'd like.

the U4WDA does indeed have a website... click here--> www.u4wda.org , you can buy raffle tickets for the raffle '79 CJ-7 we're giving away on the 19th... even though most of you don't even live here... haha... all the money goes to organizations such as USA-ALL, and the Blue Ribbon Co. and stuff..
