Samurai Crawls | Hell Hole Reservoir

- The maiden voyage is finally here! We knew going into this run that we had a few things that we should've had done before the trip, but what the heck; we needed to get some crawlin' in! This is an awesome trail and we would love to do it again... maybe when it's a little less wet!

The spare radiator in the wangler was a nice touch. I love the front shackles on your samurai, and I have to decide if I'm going to buy a set or just take my itchy fingers over to the plasma table at work.
Someone gave my dad a basket case in 1999 or so, and it equaled more-or-less 1.5 Samurais. Between him and my brother they got it fixed up while I was in the army. I was continually amazed at the pictures they sent me of this weird little 4x4 getting into the most impossible situations. I had no idea what they could do. A few years after they got it running, my brother took it over, and spent a pretty good chunk of money modifying it. I bought it from him late last year, and I'm pretty sure if I got it stuck it would be in some awful place where nobody could reach.
That's awesome! They are pretty amazing little machines.
Looks like my kind of trail. I need to take my Samurai on it. Love the rocks!👍
Yeah! It's awesome. Much harder when wet, but still a lot of fun. 🤙🏻
that was good fun dude, it was nice seeing how the sami held up. i look forward to some more exploring with the sami kudos for an awesome build !!
Thanks dude! The little Samurai did great on 31s
as always, great video!
Thanks dude 🤙🏻
Great vid and sweet trail 👍👍
Really fun trail!
Awesome video!!!
What a blast that was!
Good shit man i knew the Samurai was gonna hold up just fine awesome video
Thanks dude! 🤘🏻
Muy buenos todos, fantastico el giro, el suzuki es un grande con su pequeña estatura
Yeeeeea nice ride wow
Thanks dude! Great trail for a little Samurai!
You did good on your build that trail looks extreme! cant believe that stock jeep made it through i'm going to try to get there this year for my maiden voyage
Thanks dude! The trail was tough with the water on the rocks, for sure. There is some great camping near by and the views are awesome I hope you make it there. 🤙🏻
really cool stuff going on here!
oh....What is up Kyle
Great crawling in Moab. Hells Revenge and Porcupine Rim are good starters, then gets more challenging. Be there in May.
You know your a true friend when you let them bring a chrysler on your adventure!
Hows it feel running a sammy at > 1/2 the cost of the other rides
Awesome performance of the Sammy, but I saw that was really hard to steering.... next upgrade power steering jajaja. nice video! and rocksliders and beadlocks and $$$.
Definitely! The steering needs an upgrade. 😬
This is the video the viewing public wanted to see!
Good! More to come!
I camped near there years ago. Be aware hat there are bears all over that area. I had three bears tear into my food stash between 1:00 a.m. and 3:a.m. all i could do was watch from inside my tent.
That's a bad way to wake up
The Cliffhangers are an awesome group to wheel with. Im hoping to go out with them again soon.
Yeah they are some cool people. I roll with the Trailbusters but the Cliffhangers have been great too! I've watched your videos and it looks like we're running the same trails; we should go wheelin 🤙🏻
Fortune Off-Road that would be pretty awesome!
Best regards from Poland MSIkris 4x4 Suzuki Samurai 😃😎
Video turned out good dude! 🤘🏼Wish I took the time to record more of our trip.
Trying to get on your level of video production!
@@FortuneOffRoad You have twice as many subscribers as me... I think you're doing just fine!😂
The brake line from the wrecked vehicle worked! Greg hooked it up on the 4Runner, we bled the line, and he was good! He made it home with no issue!
That's pretty badass! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice video and good performance for the little zuk. I am looking forward to your rocksliders. I want to build some but i dont have a good idea. I dont know if it last long when you just skrew it on the body. Wishes from germany.
Thanks! I hope to get those sliders mounted up soon. 🤙🏻
I honestly have not enjoyed watching a video this much in a long time, mainly because I've been following your build. I am beyond impressed with the video and the way that little samurai did on its maiden voyage. the weight is exactly why it looks full at 8 psi. be careful with that airdown, i actually hate it when people say things like "have you ever heard of airing down". have you ever heard of unseating a bead. yeah Ive done it once running 10 psi and now i run 20 psi I don't care if I can get a few more friction coefficient points with 8psi.
Thanks dude! I appreciate that feedback. The thing I love about offroading is the tweaks never end! I'm going to try going to 5 psi on my next run and see if they can keep the bead. 🤙🏻
@@FortuneOffRoadyour bead is going to fall off before you get to the trails lol. hey i just flexed my rear suspension and it goes up 28" before it teeter totters. is that about what yours did when you made your shock video. the time i unseated a tire on my sami. i was trying to straddle some deep ruts i fell in sideways and then the air came out. honestly I don't even know if it had 10 psi in it when it happened because i had them at 10psi but didn't really check tire pressure when i went out that time. the super trencher tires that i had look full even when they blow a bead. but they are 6 ply but rated for a like 4240 lbs a tire. way too heavy and stupid to run but thats how mine came . i sold them for 150.
I think its the milestars. I have a set on my Tacoma and in wet conditions I don't seem to have as much traction as i used to have with other tires.
That could be. I've wheeled them on everything but snow now and they don't seem to do as well when wet. Great on the rocks though 🤘🏻
You Definitely need to get that EPS setup lol
Awesome video, Now I gotta go out and wheel
Whats the EPS?
@@FortuneOffRoad Electric Power Steering lol
@@90AWDSM for sure!
I would recommend Trail Tough's armor.... Rock sliders, full skid plate and gas tank skid plate...
The rock sliders bolt to the frame. since they don't drop below the chassis rails, you really don't lose any clearance. The big plus, for me, with this type is that they don't trap dirt onto the body.
Rock sliders on the way!
@@FortuneOffRoad SWEET!!! which 1s did you go with?
@@246Drew low range off road with tube step
Doing any rides in Utah any time soon? 93 sidekick with 2 in lift, 2 in spacers, and front lockers. Love moab! And Sand Hollow.
Hoping to get to Moab this year. What are you favorite trails that I need to hit?
Sometimes I just cant stand spotters!
Awesome adventure, video, everything! Congrats! Can I ask why motor stops so many times? 👍🏻
Mostly because I'm a horrible driver, but I also like to blame it on a bad carburetor! 🤫
Salut je suis français !! Sympa tes vidéos j'aimerais savoir c'est quoi ton kit rehausse(lame + amortisseur ) sur ton Suzuki 🤩
You have to be a nutjob to really wheel a samurai. It takes one to know one!
This video thumbnail is pretty much how every trail ride turns out for me! 😁
Another awesome video. Does that sammy have a stock 1.3 ?
Thanks! It sure does. Went to propane shortly after this
Nice Sammy. Reminds me of the one I had in College. Great rigs. What tcase reduction are you running in it?
Thanks dude! We've go the 6.4 Sumo gears. They're great so far!
Fortune Off-Road Nice!! I’m in NorCal to too. Have to hit a trail together one of these days.
Sounds good! I post some of the runs on my IG page, same name. 🤙🏻
I just saw this dude at taco bell and he had his channel name on the side of his truck
That was some good Taco Bell after the trail!
Your front springs get negative arch because there no bumpstops.Your u bolts way too long . If you can weld you can make all the armor stuff way cheaper your self.But you make a amazing job on the trail.
Yeah the ubolts were left long because I put the bumpstops on them later. They work okay. Later I'll probably try a frame mounted option. 🤙🏻
I have a SAS 1988 Toyota 4runner with front and rear lockers and was considering getting a samurai how would you compare the two... should I just keep the 4runner?
I think the toyota pickup/4runner is the best platform out there. Having said that, I've never owned either. Samurais are great, don't get me wrong, but the short wheelbase and stock axles really limit you on tire size and obstacles. Getting ready to stretch mine so I can build it bigger. Toyota 8" axles can get built pretty strong, samurai axles shouldn't go much higher than a 31" even when "built". 🤙🏻
@@FortuneOffRoad thank you very much.
I also have 3rz swapped 84 extended cab truck also. LOL
Besides the driver and their experience, what vehicle was the best one for that trip?
That blue TJ did very well!
The Sammy Carb doesn't like the angles. We run a Toyota 3k or a Harley carb for offroading.
You are right about that. Really leaning towards propane and trailering it to the trail. 🤙🏻
@@FortuneOffRoad if you have Facebook there are lots of groups that can help you with questions about set ups and more.
@ 7:15 the sammi starts doing what she wants.
My eyes would cross with those spotters👉👈👎😱👋 Lucky you didn't end up on your roof.😮😱
Lived to wheel again!
Hell hole in nor. Cal? Tahoe nay. Forest?
Yeah Hell Hole, north west of Loon Lake
Had someone think to remove the stones before? 😄
Where's the fun in that?! 😈
@@FortuneOffRoad
This is a joke!
What tire size?
31x10.50r15, now on 33s. Latest video out is a current run on the same trail. Went much better!
Stock gearing?
3.73 in the diffs, 6.5 in the tcase
@@FortuneOffRoad cool thanks
On 31s fr tires
I have been laughing at these small crappy looking samurais for a long time coz I felt so much better in my sidekick ... I have to admit the samurais r still out there while my sidekick is long recycled... lol
I never Ikeda samurai until I saw Amber's Turner wheel hers on the Rubicon. Now I love them! 😍
@@FortuneOffRoad I just remembered I had driven a samurai with my brother in the late 80s and we had a lot of fun ... my brother was 6"10 and barely fit in there ... the little vehicle tilted until I got in ... we were racing through the fields ... after harvest that is
türkiye, merhaba
What's up! 👍🏻
Electric fuel pump will stop that stalling(cheap fix) Put one on My 86 and it will crawl up a tree
That's awesome, just swapped to propane and now it's great. 🤙🏻
Sweet! Been looking for a small diesel for mine.
