    We do that trail as one of our DS loops a couple of times a year. Looks a little tougher with four wheels

      Little Samurais make a lot of obstacles look harder, I'm sure! Great trail though

    I've got a little backup electric fan on my radiator just in case the OEM fan on the motor isnt enough to keep it cool worth a try

      Yeah, you're the second person to say that! How big if a fan, and where do you have it placed?

    Good thing you met Mike, he's hecka good at body work! Is the TJ running a rubicon front 44 with manual hubs?

      I could use his skills to get some dents out! Not sure on the TJ front axle...

    Awesome. I just bought a 1987. Sadly I need power steering or similar.

      Cool! The power steering is a huge upgrade for these things!

    What is the best month for this trail? I would imagine now would be a bad time due to the amount of snow melt?

    • @FortuneOffRoad
      @FortuneOffRoad  5 місяців тому

      I think late July or August would be ideal. It was fun in June, but a lot of water like you mentioned.

    Got some questions about the super axles you are putting in the samurai. If you are still doing it.

      I'm still doing it. Just got the Dana 60 gears set.

      @@FortuneOffRoad Oh right on! I’ve built a few of those for Superduty’s. Great axles. Lots of options and space for everything you want to do. I’ve never put one in a light weight vehicle though. I’m guessing you are going to lengthen the wheelbase and 4 link it?

    Are you running stock mechanical or electric fan for you4 cooling?
    I Im running a electric fan with a stand alone fan controller. Works great on cooling dowm the Suzuki.
    Look into the autocoolguy fan controller

    • @FortuneOffRoad
      @FortuneOffRoad  Рік тому +1

      Stock mechanical fan with clutch. I'm going to try to put a shroud back on, then put some hood louvers in, and if that doesn't work, relocate my power steering cooler.

    Are you still running 31" tires? They look like 32 or 33.

      These are 33x10.50r15, bigger tires have made a big difference.

    Is this the same, more or less difficult than the Rubicon?

    • @FortuneOffRoad

      The middle section featured in the thumbnail is a little harder than Rubicon, but the rest is easier.
