    Default NU B from Louisville



    Hi, my friends know me as KB (Ken Beach). I am yet another Sammy owner. Seems like a few of my buds have recently signed up.
    I used to build Bicycles for many years and still have the shop and will dabble every now and then. Before my bike building days I built VW based rails, buggy's, Baja Bugs and drag cars, now I have come full circle and am building my Sammy and selling some aftermarket parts for them too.

    My main forums are Zuk based Zukikrawler and Zuwharrie.

    List of upgrades can be found in my signiture and website on Geckocycles.com

    Until the last month or so I was wheeling about 20 hr/wk on the trail plus DD this rig too. Been doing lots of upgrades to the Sammy.

    I bought this about a year and a half ago for $2000. It was a retired folks tow vehicle with few miles on it.


    Then I started putting mods on.


    Now it rarely gets a bath and is getting banged up.






    Favorite trails are Chinaman Gulch, Holly Cross, Left Hand and Firemans. Used to be Boulder Carnage until they closed it.

    Here is a Zuk M&G we had at China Wall. Pretty easy trail but a good place for a large group.

    Nice intro KB! It looks like Sammy's are catching up to the Jeeps, Rovers and Yotas here. The more I see them the more I like them, looking forward to wheeling with some of you before too long. I'm driving a truck better than twice your weight

    Pardon my letting this slip but nice to have another 'mature' guy here - we're not alone Pete!

    :welcome:

    Should have mentioned we have our 1st Anniversary Run on China Wall this Saturday. Chose it for the reason you mention as well as the ability for stockers to run it.

    Hope you can join us!

    Holy Zukis! We have someone else past the half century mark! Hot damn...am I excited...Now we just have to get someone older than Chris so that Chis doesn't have to bear the brunt of the 'old guy' stuff!

    Anyway...pardon me getting carried away there...welcome to the site! Those Sammis make for some sweet wheelers. Good to have another one on the site and we hope to meet up with you soon.

    Please feel free to add to the Zuki section as far as links to information sites and anything else Zuki related. You may also feel free to take a dig at me for my spelling for this link...you won't be the first and Chris has never fixed it. I think he gets a laugh whenever someone goes'Hey Brody, you spelled Suzuki wrong'...

    I know Haku is building for that trip. I told him he will be fine as it is. I saw a Honda Civic up there and did the loop. Had to get a tow up one hill climb spot but he made it.

    I may go but not sure at this point. I may go and hit Chinaman Gulch Sun. I have a friend who lives up in Fariplay that I can stay with.

    I'm sure I did. Were you with that group of about 6 RR when it was all iced up?
    That was a fun day.

    :lol: Yep, that was an icy day indeed! Didn't have that many Land Rovers in our group (just 2, and a bunch of Toyotas - had to refresh my memory using this thread: http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=116504) - sounds from your trip description there was another group full of Rovers there that day.
