Suzuki 4x4 Forum / Samurai Owners - are we antique fans now?
« Last post by ZookMeister on July 24, 2024, 11:36:38 AM »
1987 Samurai.  Owned it since 1990,  Been all over the country with it.  Climbed "fourteeners" in Colorado, snaked along backwoods forest trails in Maine, traversed swamps in Florida, and threw sand in the Texas desert.. Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer Samurais on the road and on the trail.  I  used to have friends with Zooks, but it's been a decade or two since I've been 'wheeling with another Sammy.  Lately I've been having a lot of people start conversations with me at gas stations "I learned to drive in one of those" or "I remember my dad had one when I was little" sort of conversations.  I don't want to get gas anymore because I'm tired of people offering to buy it.  These conversations were reminiscent of the interactions I always seemed to have back when I drove antique cars (Falcons, Rancheros, etc).  GOOD GRIEF!  Is the 1980s Samurai considered an ANTIQUE CAR now?  I'm still using mine to get down off the ridge, out of the woods, and into town to run errands and get groceries.  An I'm using it around the trails on my property (riding the fence line to make repairs and whatnot).  The many forums, DIY folks, and annual Zook party trips seem to have dried up for good now.  so where do Samurai owners congregate these days (online or otherwise)? .

I'm leaning towards towing in but it depends on if I can convince my friends and brother to attend. We all had a great time at the Fall Classic so hopefully

Are you thinking of driving the Suzuki down like last time or are you gonna trailer it behind the truck and camper?

I'm thinking of driving in and tent camping at the base camp, at this time. But I could be pursuaded to haul in as well.  What are your thoughts?

Hi there, I'm new to the forum. I also realize that this thread is pretty old, but is this product - Breeze-O-Top, still made?  If so, where can I get one? I couldn't find anything out there.  Looks like the inventor has disappeared as well. Thought I'd ask; I was starting to feel like a stalker...

It's close to my neck of the woods, so I will most likely attend, depending on dates. I won't be able to do a full week, so if we do a base camp and adventure from there, I would be in.
