We are in our 70's now and the wife doesn't like to ride with me in the buggy; she likes to be in control of her destiny I guess so she putts and climbs all round the dunes in my Honda Pilot. She has a strong inclination towards family outings.

Haha bungees holding up exhaust I just hit everything with a light tack before dinner
As far as springs go I'm running 400 over 500 with 3.0 triple bypass to start with might Have to make some fine tuning.
