Suzuki Samurai Off Road

[Stromblad2211]

Awesome stuff! I'll be gettin my own Samurai soon, so excited!!!!

[skeeterstowe]

did you have the axles flipped

[DavutCyprus]

your samurai is very good man and ı love them but ı think 1300 cc car is not ideal for off road..

[TAxPHOXX]

@DavutCyprus actually the small 1.3 liter engines do extremely well off road. They get good gas mileage and are also very light which enables them to float over many offroad obstacles. Its more about the gearing than the power. 60 hp in a samurai is enough to get you almost anywhere with the correct gears in 4 low

[Izzy904]

Which engine? Tnx.

[josemautz]

What a song?

[bluebaja40]

Just want to personally thank you tdubb for selling me this car it has been fun with minor problems here and there. If someone wants to buy it, I am the current owner, make an offer and we'll talk.

[911turb0]

What kind of lift is that?

[bluebaja40]

@911turb0 It's a six inch SPOA from rocky-road.

[911turb0]

@bluebaja40 I've been looking to sell my toyota tacoma, and buy a samurai and build one up. I'm still researching and wondering what a good lift and such is.

[lilmonstertruck]

@911turb0 i sold my 98taco and got a sammy. lot of new place i can get to that a taco can't

[911turb0]

@lilmonstertruck I actually bought a 98 TJ, actually selling my 98 TJ to buy my tacoma back lol..... I'll end up buying a samurai and trailering it with the tacoma (:

[godzillaisnuclea123]

that's coil sprung levels of articulation from leaves,impressive.

[godzillaisnuclea123]

amazing articulation for a zuk with leaves.how is it so good,cos this gives coils a run for their money

[taylorritter]

i love this samurai its one of the most badass looking ones ive seen

[tdub9899]

@taylorritter Thanks for the good comments.

[shimybr]

its very nice i love it

[637honda]

its my dream 2 own a samurai like that

[theEyeineye]

is this the one being sold on craigslist?

[tdub9899]

@theEyeineye Im not sure. I sold this over a year ago, I did see it on Inland Empire craigslist a couple months back the guy I sold it too was selling it then.

[bencomo92]

What engine does it have? I've a 1.0 suzuki!

[chadheroman]

I had a samuri back in 91 and had huge tires and a warn winch, i could go through damn near anything, in four wheel low, i had plenty of power, but the tires were so big that top speed was about 55 mph. I never had to worry about a speeding ticket!! But in the mud, the thing was so light it wouldn't sink much, therefore wouldn't get stuck. It was fun

[brandons13ka24det]

you wouldnt happen to know how wide your wheel is would you?

[flashbangs]

i cant meet anyone to go zuken with

[smigin12]

i agree 100% dirtbikes cant go where jeeps and zuks go trust me ive learned from experience

[tdub9899]

Your right but it go's both way's. 4x4's or dirtbikes its all good fun thats why we do it.

[jameswilliamneppel]

comparing riding dirtbikes to driving a 4 wheel drive is like saying you can fly a jet over those trails at 700 mph. i can drive my samurai to the trail with all my tools,beer,spare tire etc. then drive it home, do that on a fucking dirtbike, idiot. it's not a race

[escalade07q8]

what tire size you have? i lift my samurai 5" CALMINI dont know wich size to go with?

[tdub9899]

32 11.50 they fit good on this 6" lift but I did have to pound the inner fender to keep it from cutting the tire while flexing.

[kauaiboy89]

@tdub9899 so those are 11.50 wide? i was considering some 33x12.50 but it sounds a tad bit too wide.

[tdub9899]

@kauaiboy89 I had 8" wheels with 2 1/2" of back spacing it worked out great. With that 12.50 would be too wide.

[nandoanalog]

There´s something that no 4x4 driver ever figured out. There´s this stuff called dirt bikes. And you can ride them through those places you drive 4x4 cars. But instead of going at 0.5 mph, you´re going at 60 mph. It may take serious skills to ride a dirt bike though...

[kasper659]

yeah man I've rode bikes all my life. But i still love my jeep. Bikes are fun but there not made for everything. I guarantee i've taken my jeep places you'd never dream of taking a Dirtbike.

[kegan014]

theres no way a dirt bike can go places that jeeps and zuks go

[kegan014]

i ride dirt bikes all the time you fag and you know what wheelin is 10 times funer please sir go fuck urself and a dirt bike cant go throw water like jeeps or zuks but for really dude try it before you run ur mouth douche bag

[nandoanalog]

@kegan014 That´s because you don´t know how to ride a bike. Period.

[kegan014]

@nandoanalog om yes sir i do i have been riding since i was about 8 and im 17 now trust me

[smurfbjj]

The best off road car ever build

[markey808]

Ya I finally seen a jimny....Personally I like the look of the samurais better....happy new year my friend

[maychampain]

i have an old samurai with a toyota engine and im thinking about piping it up seems as how the bodys no good.

[333corp]

Your Samurai is very cool. I'm half jealous I'm not in your shoes yet. Busy finding nice one. Want to do mods immediately when I get it. Standard Axles? Wheel Spacers? Width of wheels? How does Rocky Road kit handle on tar for everyday driving especially higher speeds and hard breaking? What size wheels? Sorry so many questions. Just trying to make best all round everyday Zook that kicks ass on weekends (and sometimes in the week). Thanks for any input you give a Samurai noob.

[tlateotw]

good car, good driver

[ptediamond]

what kind of lift kit do you have.. i want one for my samurai dont know wich one to go with

[tdub9899]

rocky road 6" spoa, weld on complete kit

[ptediamond]

thanks man

[markey808]

Do samurais come stock with a straight front axle?

[tdub9899]

yup

[markey808]

Sweet should have never stopped making samurais

[acalthu]

@markey808 The Samurai is still made, sometimes they're called the Jimny.

[markey808]

@acalthu Definitely not distributing it in the US then :(

[acalthu]

I guess not. And the new generation comes with coil springs on solid axles a la Land Rover Defender style.

[wharghoul]

Of course not, the US wants mall crawlers instead of real offroaders these days.

[lukellu]

wow.. great samurai.. very nice

[Gerold1981]

they should have never stopped making these cars

[ravasss]

@Gerold1981 They have never stopped making them. They are still available in India, renamed tho... Maruti Gypsy is an LWB version of a samurai... At least someone understands the use of such a vehicle...

[shimybr]

@Gerold1981 very nice i love it

[EnjoiBuddha]

@Gerold1981 its not that they stopped making the samurai. they just arent sold in north america anymore because of safety standards

[Solalejandro]

@Gerold1981 They haven´t they are now called Suzuki Jimny and are sold in South America, Europe and Australia. Suzuki should bring the Jimny/Samurai back to the US and Mexico!

[markey808]

Hows the bite on the swampers?

[tdub9899]

Very good grip and very strong tires/sidewalls they would stay on the wheel at 3PSI. Not too good for sand dunes.

[markey808]

Thanks for the info.Aloha from Hawaii

[JRock0085]

MAD SKILLZ! ROCK ON!

[coolguy96abc]

more than beutiful

[label3131]

yup picking one up for 800 bucks stock going to do the vw 1.9l td swap cant wait

[derkajihadblar]

awsome samurai.

[cod4rulzz]

ya cause i only got a 1inch shackle lift in the front and all around ranchos. but a spoa conversion will be my next improvement

[cod4rulzz]

hey how hard was it to do that spring over axle conversion?

[tdub9899]

Pretty easy if you can weld, the hardest part for me was getting the pinion angle right.

[speedracer7c]

What size tires are you running?

[mbneme]

congratulations for your great car.

[food13]

SHes locked right? Looks fun, Zuk's rule

[careks]
