Dave Schulz
(aka Heavy D)

I've lived in Baltimore all my life and spent the past 12 yrs. traveling the world repairing box-making machines. I now stay in the U.S. as a self-employed owner of a corrugated service repair company.

When the Durango first came out I knew it was for me, so I saved for 2 yrs to get the D of my dreams. I discovered the DOC and used the FAQ to help me decide exactly what I wanted to order. It was custom ordered in October 1999 and I received it within 4 weeks, the day before Thanksgiving. It got its first mod the same day going right from the dealer's lot to the tint shop!

From there I joined the DOC and, with the help of all the great people in this club, their many inputs & suggestions and links to see all the neat D stuff available, made my D into what it is today. I thank all of you “the DOC and members” for running a great informative site. I couldn't have done this without you. Plus I saved a lot of money knowing where to shop for my parts and mods.
