Ive had luck with the duplicolor stuff. Roll the interior and get cans for your rockers, rear corner plates and any other stuff. Use it for your ebrake handle too. Love the build man. Wish I could find even a junker one of these for a daily. Everyone wants gold for them! Paint the door cards too! Lol
Thanks man! So I bought the Herculiner kit today because a few people said they had good luck with it and it was cheaper. I got the gallon kit then 1 can for the stuff I can't roll. Gotta fix some rust holes first but I think the interior will come together nicely once that's done. I still don't know what to do for the door panels. Might make something. Prob gonna do wrap on the outside cuz I've been wanting to play with that stuff for years. Looks so fun! I've done window tint and you look at it wrong and it's toast, wrap is so forgiving, can't wait. I hope you can find a cheap one and make it how u want it. Thanks for watching!
Door/dome light switch … I have the same electrical system in my Gen4 Jimny.
All electrical consumers have permanent 12 volt. When turned on ground is added to the circuit.
It is almost like the Lucas system from Britain. Lucas the man who invented darkness.
Ah yes...Lucas. Guy who invented the short circuit? Lol.
You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you!
Haha, kinda homemade lookin but it works lol. Thanks again.
Amazing videos
Thank you!
The seats look brand new. Congratulations.
Thank you, but that was another fail... they look amazing until you sit in em a few times, then the paint kinda fails where the creases are. I showed it in a few later videos.. I keep having to touch em up. I'm gonna get ahold of Dupli-Color because they advertise this paint as specifically for this application. I love this paint but definitely don't recommend using it on anything flexible. I hope nobody watched just that one video and went out and did the same, they'll wanna string me up by my toes!
@@FixLife119why not spend some money on a set of good looking seat covers?
Hello i am been watching you videos and i have 92 suzuki samurai i loved and just installed recently exhaust system and pretty happy with it
Oh cool. What exhaust system did you go with? I just ordered a cat and muffler but they haven't showed up yet. Still not sure how I'm going to install them, either borrow a friend's welder or get the flexible pipe with clamps. Thank you for watching!
@FixLife119 hello I watching right now you video 20 on suzuki samurai alot sanding....I use techtonics tuning
@@jonathancaraballo6429 Yup. I just came inside from sanding some more. I was sanding till 10pm again, still on the passenger's side. Hopefully tomorrow I can start the drivers side. That looks like really nice exhaust btw! Thanks for watching, just released part 21 a bit ago.
I used the roll on Hurculiner inside a Jeep I had several years ago, it looked good but do it on a nice warm day and prepare for it to take a couple days to a week before you can even get in and tolerate driving because it be stinky fer awhile. I wished I kept my carpet also, the floor got really hot near firewall because I stripped all the baffle stuff away. Nice project dude.
Awesome. The guy above your comment also used it and liked it. That's prob what I'll go with. Thank you for telling me!
I have a 1990 samurai I've been working on for the last few months. I used the Hurculiner and 1 gallon gave me enough to cover the floor from the tailgate forward twice, and I used the can to get the hard to reach areas. But it worked like a dream. I used a texture roller and 2 heads 1 for each time I applied it.
Damn really? Hearing that I might go down tomorrow and buy it. It was $111 at Advance Auto. Is that a decent price? I really did want to do a roll on kind. Thanks for letting me know!
@FixLife119 it's not to far off from what I paid. I got mine off Amazon for $95. Then I bought 2 cans of the spray. 1 can was enough to reach the hard to reach places. But I used the other can on the inside of the fender wells and the frame. Lastly I used the gorilla truck and bed liner texture roller to roll it on.
Just have to clean everything really well before rolling it and be patient. Cause it's thick and will slide on the metal so your first coat will look off and not that great. But the second will roll easier. Trust the process. Also use gloves the stuff is horrible to get off your hands. Any thing else. I have some pics and stuff and would love to swap back and forth! Keep up the videos and the great work.
@@codywaldron505 ok, great info. So you didn't want to use the rollers that come in the kit? Thank you again!
@FixLife119 I kinda bought and made my own kit. Did things the hard way haha. But um sure they are the same. The gorilla one just came with 2 rollers and the Pan. All from amazon
@@codywaldron505 oh ok, I went down and bought it today and it came with 2 rollers also.
It looks good
Hey thanks alot!
The herculiner is prob the best diy bed liner
That's good cuz that's what I bought. I bought the 1 gallon kit plus 1 spray can. Been working on prepping the floors the last 2 nights. Passenger side is almost ready, drivers side not so much. I'm doing that off camera because it's so boring. Hopefully in the next couple days I'll be able to lay down the liner.
Are you going to stay with that front bumper or you planning to find the original,my opinion withe original will look 100% much better by the way I love your videos I'm from Puerto Rico 💯✌️
I'm really not sure yet. The way this one is mounted is pretty janky if you saw the video where I jacked it up to level it out, then took a look and realized it was slotted so I could have just loosened the bolt and repositioned it lol. Thanks for watching!
What are you going to do with the body paint? I’m watching videos on Raptor liner paint jobs for my Sidekick. I’m thinking of Raptor liner inside and out.
Well... I've really been wanting to get some experience with wrapping something so I'll prob try that, if it turns out crappy I might rip it off and do something else.
My samurai is completely covered in some sort of bed liner, I don’t like it, who ever did it didn’t prep the surface very good so it’s chipping. In the next year or so I’m gonna strip it all off and paint it.
Oh damn, that sounds like some work. I think its kinda cool when they do that but you're pretty committed at that point. How would you even get a quality bedliner off?
@@FixLife119 my buddy does paint and body and he said he’s had good results with Citrus-strip from Home Depot. He said it still sucks to remove and will ruin the paint beneath it…. But I’m gonna have to do it anyways, I have a few small places on the rockers that it starting to show signs of rust. 🤷🏼♂️
I would not envy the person taking on the job of removing that sh!t. You prob have to get under it and use something that eats the paint so it has nothing to stick too. I'm so glad mine is just terrible paint lol.
@@FixLife119 there’s a video on UA-cam of some guys removing bed liner with that citrus strip and some plastic scrapers and it looks nasty but it works
@@CTMadModz Right on, I'll check it out, thanks.
That mesh is factory
Is it really? That's too funny!
@@FixLife119 pretty rare to see a samurai that still has it. My first samurai back in the mid 90s was like brand new when I bought it and it had that mesh. Cool videos, I love seeing samurais get fixed up.
If they don't want that junker top back ill give you little something for it. As mine is sitting with no back piece on it.
I'll letcha know once the new one comes. Sometimes they'll send prepaid postage with the replacement so you can mail the old stuff back. I kinda think they were using a translator to communicate with me so I'm not sure of anything lol. What happened to your back piece? Window get damaged?
@@FixLife119 it was junked when bought it was sprinter top fast back.
Shrank wouldn't fit not even close . Cracked up dried out wasn't took care of. Cut it off behind the targa bar's had brand new back window curtain for Yamaha rhino on it so I put it up.
@@FixLife119 Been watching u build that Sammy. Just taking one down and cleaning it is a big difference usually. Lots of them were abused 😢. Never took care of.
Have you seen Myron channel zuks off-road. He does good job of explaining stuff. Ole ct mad mods mad man not sure he's good with um too. That guy you know some watch him while now to. Got mine in 2-2019 maybe 18 not sure now lol. Always had jeeps older 5,7, wrangler to land cruiser 74. Suzuki is the best my opinion. Slow now I put completely rebuilt 360 AMC in 82 cj7 4 speed out run lots stuff for real no race cars but some mustangs, Camaro back in 95-97 but little Suzuki just something else. Simple ,cool about it. Good luck with ur channel I feel it's going blow up big time lot people getting into Sammy's. Stay safe from ur ole hillbilly buddy.
@@P.Trim69 Hey thanks alot. That 360 AMC sounds like a blast. My Jeep grand cherokee has a 5.7 HEMI and it's quick off the line being awd, just terrible mileage! I haven't had any time to check out much UA-cam since I started making videos unfortunately. UA-cam is cutting into my UA-cam time lol.
@@P.Trim69 At least it wasn't plywood lol, na... I actually didn't mind the plywood.
i am the first like
Hell yeah! I'm just happy you weren't the only like, lol.
