If if was mine it would get some flat sheets of metal to cover the rough bits so there arent any sharp edges to cut yourself kids or animals up. Riveted or glued or welded on doesnt matter, just so it stops unnecessary injuries.
Ripping through all that bush and branches will put a nice patina on the paint. It will knock off the rust and moss too. Perfect little back country 4x4.
It's a very appreciated car here in Italy, because it is so compact. Sure Land Rovers are good but in steep an narrow trails all over the mountains it's a very beautiful car to have.
I look forward to all of your uploads, Marty! I'm not sure if you're into this, but would you consider doing a video that goes over your fleet of equipment/cars/motorcycles/quads, etc.? I know I'd love to see the fleet. I'd also love to see a video about your forrest property- how long you've had it, why you bought it, how much land you have, what sort of buildings or other projects you've got going on- it's all very fascinating!
An overview like that would mean the Missus might cotton onto the true size of the fleet...old feller once told me "never park your tractors where the missus can see them all at the same time"...wise words for a peaceful home...
I do always try to picture the layout and the scale of the property/operation. Like, how much space is the sawmill taking up. And how far and at what incline is the road when getting wood out of the bushes. It's so different from what I know that it's hard to imagine 😮 I always love the drone shots. But I could imagine you might now show all that for privacy reasons.
Yeah, I’d pay good money for that. Not just the vehicles, but every machine you’ve brought back to life,plus a look at your hydro operation. You’re a legend.
Well, that was an easy fix. Like I said last time, those pinion bearings don't fail very often. I think I can see what the kids will learn to drive on🙂. Fair bit safer than a tractor. Enjoy your paradise.
Back in Yorkshire, my grandad was a chartered engineer who chose his cars wisely. I have many fond memories of my Grandma picking me up from school in it, and just seeing the interior took me right back! Thanks for the video, Marty.
Well done Marty such a great buzz to turn something unusable into a working unit again. I had an Escudo which was awesome on our backcountry trips around the likes of the Ashburton lakes and Hanmer/Molesworth always get a thrill whenever you turn up on screen.
These old Suzies are indestructible. My brother has an LJ40 and an LJ80 and both of them have the traction of a Skyrim horse. One of them had sat around for thirty years and we got it running by pushing it through the paddock.
Another great save Marty,and them Sammy's were fun little machines and went most anywhere due to their light-weight, solid axles,manual trannies,real high/low t-case and low power which equates to reliable,non part breaking, traction maintaining(other than the short springs limits) and just an all around fun machine..
Nice to have a surefooted little rig for the road less traveled. Kids sure did enjoy going 4 wheelin'. Great to see that you didn't have to put in a tremendous amount of work to get 'er going again. Thanks, Marty, great stuff!
Hi Marty, I notice your offroad trip is clearing tree branches with your windscreen, try an old Landrover offroad trick, of thin steel cable with a turnbuckle to tighten between the top front outer of both front wings (fenders?) to the top outside of your roof, a tight steel cable will just move tree branches over your roof safely.
Indestructable little jeep with an indestructable little Datsun A12 engine. Great combination. Its quite theraputic watching your videos, doing all the things we'd love to do, but can't. Good stuff!
My dad had an old truck and took me trail riding just like that. Good on you for making some healthy core memories with the kids. Well done on fixing-up the old truck too.
Thats perfect! My family had a 1952 Jeep that we used on the property, never worried about scratching the paint. I learned manual shift on it and and have fond memories of riding with my dad…as will your children.
Had an 86 samurai jx convertible and loved the mechanical simplicity, durability and reliability. From northern Canada and plowed some deep snow and bush terrain. Wish istill had for fun and memories.
25years ago when I was young lad we picked up 2 of theses sj410 there soo good off road 😅I swapped in a 2liter Nissan diesel I was 15 it worked a little too well . Mine were also completely rusted like yours it gave them a distinguished look lol. I gave one to a friend he enjoyed it just as much and rolled it more times then I can remember messing around just flip her over and off u go again with a rachet strap holding the engine and box back in 😂as was tradition. anyways Where you live how you live and carry yourself is very much like myself here in Ireland U have some great kids marty healthy children in a fantastic environment to grow up and be there own thinking adults other then just following the dreaded society's intrusive way of live 😊
Great ride for the kids, but maybe the best ever ride was on the rotary tiller back at the house. You couldn’t say no so you rigged it so they got their ride. Your old salvaged equipment is back to work with an additional job of bringing smiles to children and your viewers alike. Thanks Marty.
Marty, so that is your commute to work. I'd suggest putting a bush hog upside down on that vehicles roof and prune as you go. Your energetic dog makes a fine pilot fish and the junior officers make good camera position scouts.
After years of watching your videos, I know more about engines, hydraulics, differentials, bearings, than ever before, and I don't even own a car. Great educational channel.
Wonderful resurection there Marty , perfect little truck as you say , very usefull for running around the trails and will happily haul a trailer of firewood when you need it . Great fun for the kids to learn to drive on too
Absolutely fantastic, Sir-with the kids laughing and your dog running along, all having a good time-was great to see. And now I have even more respect for the little Suzuki jeep-she's a keeper alright. Thanks for taking the time to capture all this and put up for our consumption.
Such a tremendous little beast that you have in there friend, Samurai is by far the best all terrain for all times, not even niva or UAZ are such a powerful machine as this little real all terrain vehicles, I love my samurai’s though they are a little bit newer than yours, but the only difference is that they are inyected, not carburated. I have travel half of my beautiful Chile including very snowy mountains in them, and they never fail.
Hi Marty, Great video on a great little fun work pony. 🥰 One hot summer's Sunday afternoon in Alice Springs, I went on an errand from home in Braitling; to the local shopping centre. I angle parked went inside coming out with milk etc, hopped in and backed out of my spot, selected 1st and came to a prompt gronchy stop!. The Timken bearing cage front left had disintegrated; locking up the front wheel completely. So how then to get it home the ten or so blocks?. Well reverse it all the way, "as you do" in the bush, eh?. Noisy yep, but backing it released the menagery of mangledness sufficient to allow me to do so, slowly. Ten blocks slowly is a long way in reverse. Fearing that any moment a Plice Cunstibule would appear, drag me off to gaol (without even being able to say goodbye to wify and kids even!), and would be waving by'e bye to my poor forlorn FJ44 circa early 80's Darling beloved~yet~badly treated Suzuki Wonder Machine. Yes I made it, and discovered that indeed the very same Toyota front wheel socket fitted!!. And so the Supreme Suzuki Machine was plying the byways highways and narrow scratchy dry creekbeds one again in a very short time. 😇
Those youngsters are growing up fast but are getting a great education along the way! Always a pleasure to peek in and see the latest project. It's amazing how simple some of these fixes can be and it'll certainly be handy for some of your chores about the place. Thanks for sharing, as always!
Evening Marty….you got lucky on that diff, a loose nut…..and another one on the condenser, must have been owned by a “loose nut”…..that didn’t own a spanner…..lol. 👍😂🇮🇲👌
Glad to see you got all the problems fixed up. It sounds great. It looks like you need to do some tree trimming. Always enjoy all your videos. These 2 videos were excellent. Can not wait to see what your next project will be. Thank you for sharing.
Such a fantastic car, we've had one in family for the last 20 years. I learned to drive with It and it was my first ever car, now it's still with me and in perfect conditions! Thanks for saving her :)
I sure enjoy your videos Marty. Just watched a guy doing what guys do. As I sit here recovering from some minor surgery I wanted to thank you for your time!
Between Marty and the Guy that runs AngryRam, the NZ folks sure make great videos. ;) Jokes aside, Marty, It's pretty impressive how far you've come on the platform. Well done & well deserved. I remember finding "Home made twin blade sawmill in action" a decade ago, and thinking it was super cool video, then a year or two ago having a "wait a minute..." moment. There's plenty of folks stuck in the office living vicariously through your projects - thanks for everything. :)
Just a heads-up, when u take off the input shaft flange on the differential there is a crush tube between the two tapered bearings, usually when u take the nut off and put it back on too tight u crush the tube and preload is no more. There are kits with solid tubes and shims to "fix" that so u can take that thing on and off as much as u want. Also have a read on the Service manual for the samurai (1298cc sometimes EFI) basically all still the same except the tcase with different gears, bigger motor and a 5 speed trasmission. If u have any questions i'll be more than happy to help :)
Love off-roading and have been doing it since 1968 (discharged from USN). UK & US citizenship, and occasionally chat with some blokes as they bounce around some of the accessible trails in Scotland and the islands that have ferry services. Perhaps I'll sniff around and see what is available in the Suzuki market. Keep producing great videos!!!!
Wow Marty that runner has turned out brilliantly. Purrs like a kitten. Driveline appears to be solid now as well. I especially enjoyed the backwoods body work and the assistant photographer doing excellent work. It has some rot for sure but another door or 2, front fender(s) and a hood would really make it a gem. A damp soapy rag across the dashboard couple times and you'd never know it came from the dead. Well done sir.
i hope you knew where you were going. i've been on trails i've had to back out of. there was a hoseshoe canyon i went around, and my first clue this would be bad was when i saw an abandoned jeep that had fallen off the cliff into the canyon. it was still there years later - and that was a newer jeep too.
These are old logging trails which were on the property before Marty bought it...and which he used to plant the 20k trees we now see maturing there. Marty no longer uses these trails as he has cut decent 4wd tracks... but he was trying to find a real test for the Zook...
My first Jeep was a 77 CJ-5. It had tires similar to the ones you put on. Size back then was H78/15. They were narrow tires and did better in the mud and mush than wider tires would do.
I like your words.. hahaha!! Smooth as silk... Runs like an Swiss watch... hahaha!! Be safe and be well .. see you on the next one with your little engineer.
In a world of ipads and screen time as a Dad myself seeing the kids helping out and learning is great to see mate. Keep up the skills and teaching your kids stuff they just wont find on google. I helped my Dad aged 80 on the weekend line the inside of his shed with some old timbers he had saved and wont ever forget that time together, building and problem solving. Love the channel mate.
Learned to drive in a flat Deck SJ410 on my families 6000 acre farm in the back blocks of Taranaki... that little truck was Highly capable machine that could go pretty much anywhere! Great to see you giving this one another shot at life Marty!
Used to do that with the old army cab overs here in Aus mate, lift em up, drop the R's end on a couple of 44 gallon drums. I reckon she's got a few years yet Marty, tighten the floor a wee bit, coat of paint on the roof, wax the hood to help with wind resistance. She'll be one of the fastest paddock bashers in the sounds mate.. O.o
When I see that you've posted a new video I cannot wait to watch. So informative, entertaining and wholesome. You have a lovely family. When I get to the end of the video I'm already looking forwartd to the next one! Great job. Thanks so much for letting us into your world. God bless.
Thanks Marty! What a great little rig for running banging around the farm. Here in the states we had an old Army Jeep CJ2A on the farm and it was used for everything.
I'D have to try a can of that Flex Seal on the outside and then inside of the roof to see if it really works and kept the water out as the commercials and 1000s of ratings state it does... quick,cheap,and easy.. Beats gas welding,soldering,or patching,maybe..
Hey Hi Marty, by what l am seeing the engine you got in there is Nissan 1400, and i South Africa there were many thousands of them(no joke) in several models , including conversions into Suzukis and other brands and applications, which also included highly tuned engines. Great farm buggie by the way...
Datsun engine... twice the horsepower.... and somewhat longer lasting. 5 main bearing 1179cc 4 cylinder and very smooth running.... high revving yet long lasting as well.
Most of what you’ve done is catching up on a lack of maintenance. Wonderful what you can do with patience, a few tools, and some fresh oil. Years in it now!
Great video Marty!! I wasn't expecting to see the grand finally quite so soon. Good surprise though with the pinion all being good!!! Great luck! Nice to take the kids on a little excursion with you to test it out. The seem like great kids! They must have a great mom and dad!! 😁
MartyT does detailing! Careful of the scratches those trails may make! It seems a good little runner, be great for the kids to muck about in off road in a year or so!
Well done Marty, the easy fixes are the best sort but of course it’s knowing where to look. My brother in Christchurch made good money fixing rust in cars. If a car had rust that perforated the body it would fail it’s warrant of fitness so the car yards would call my brother and he would turn up with his tools in the boot, a mig, a grinder, some sheet metal and some hand tools. He’d cut the rust out and leave it ready for the panel beaters to finish it off. They just hated doing the actual rust repair. He called himself The Rust Cutter, probably after the Toe Cutter in Mad Max. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Running pretty nice for the price after a bit of fiddling and fixing I say! Love the Bull terrier leading the way then catching a lift ! Good fun with that !
Excellent video Marty :) also glad pinning seal on back axle need tighten up and very good test drive too on for use in home property or when cutting fire wood up !
Excellent job again, looked so much better just with the Land Rover wheels on it and a clean up! Real shame about the rust cos it looks a good little motor.. Nice job 👍🏴🇬🇧
You honestly have everything you could possibly need! A beautiful family and an amazing bit of paradise I'm jealous bro! Wish you all the best dude great video as usual!
Aaahh... awesome resurrection. Those little guys are sturdy as hell. They just keep going if you know where to look at. I have the current version of the car and technologically speaking is not so different either 😂 It is good fun to drive it, though.
Awesome Marty! After you did up the condenser nut the engine sounded sweet as considering it was abandoned for so long. Great work and thanks for the video.
Great videos Marty 😃👍. You put those UA-cam mechanics who have the fancy air tools and ramps etc to shame, just working in your yard with blocks of wood and bare tools it’s great to watch you bring heaps of scrap back to life. Keep them coming Marty and never stop enjoying yourself. 😃😃😃 Tom. UK
That car turned out amazing. Must have had some incredible build quality from new. Fun to see the girls go along, my girls would too when they that small, now they are teenagers....
Be careful that you don't scratch the paint Marty!
He was giving it a bush car wash.
HAHA thinking the same here, hahahaha!
Best thing about having an old bomb like that!
If if was mine it would get some flat sheets of metal to cover the rough bits so there arent any sharp edges to cut yourself kids or animals up. Riveted or glued or welded on doesnt matter, just so it stops unnecessary injuries.
He's giving it Kentucky pin stripes.
You Tube just wouldn't be the same without you Marty.
Agreed!!
@@Haakonisak I also like FarmCraft101, Mattias Wandel and Marius Hornberger.
The thing on the dash I think its supposed to scare birds away
Hey, don't forget SampsonBoatCo and Tally Ho!
@@HaakonisakI would have added Lummina Acres
Marty saves another one from the scrapper ,you now have fixed yourself a going to town rig your videos a delight to my day thank you
I think you deserve an award for dad of the year too, good on you mate!
Ripping through all that bush and branches will put a nice patina on the paint. It will knock off the rust and moss too. Perfect little back country 4x4.
The simplicity of old rigs is the key of their longevity in running ..and your English bull terrier is a stunner ..
That! is an Oscarian malamute Siberian upbreed, will fetch a German and return him to your feet, any location on the planet.
Great job. It'll be a fun vehicle.
It's a very appreciated car here in Italy, because it is so compact. Sure Land Rovers are good but in steep an narrow trails all over the mountains it's a very beautiful car to have.
I look forward to all of your uploads, Marty! I'm not sure if you're into this, but would you consider doing a video that goes over your fleet of equipment/cars/motorcycles/quads, etc.? I know I'd love to see the fleet. I'd also love to see a video about your forrest property- how long you've had it, why you bought it, how much land you have, what sort of buildings or other projects you've got going on- it's all very fascinating!
I’d second that.
An overview like that would mean the Missus might cotton onto the true size of the fleet...old feller once told me "never park your tractors where the missus can see them all at the same time"...wise words for a peaceful home...

I do always try to picture the layout and the scale of the property/operation. Like, how much space is the sawmill taking up. And how far and at what incline is the road when getting wood out of the bushes. It's so different from what I know that it's hard to imagine 😮 I always love the drone shots. But I could imagine you might now show all that for privacy reasons.
Yeah, I’d pay good money for that. Not just the vehicles, but every machine you’ve brought back to life,plus a look at your hydro operation. You’re a legend.
Glad to see I missed a few vids, now I can binge watch them!
Well, that was an easy fix. Like I said last time, those pinion bearings don't fail very often. I think I can see what the kids will learn to drive on🙂. Fair bit safer than a tractor. Enjoy your paradise.
In a throw-away world, it's nice to see someone finding potential in old junk. A man after my own heart. I always drag home rusty junk.
Marty, you have the luck of the Irish. I aplaud your good fortune, everything you touch seems to come good.
Great video as always.
Thanks God you changed the wheels. My OCD was going into overdrive looking at the one mismatched wheel!
😂
Bought a new 410 back in 1990, best fun car I ever owned. I wasn’t scared to take it anywhere, it always went where it was pointed.
Back in Yorkshire, my grandad was a chartered engineer who chose his cars wisely. I have many fond memories of my Grandma picking me up from school in it, and just seeing the interior took me right back! Thanks for the video, Marty.
Your kids are having the ideal childhood. They are so lucky!
Well done Marty such a great buzz to turn something unusable into a working unit again. I had an Escudo which was awesome on our backcountry trips around the likes of the Ashburton lakes and Hanmer/Molesworth always get a thrill whenever you turn up on screen.
These old Suzies are indestructible. My brother has an LJ40 and an LJ80 and both of them have the traction of a Skyrim horse. One of them had sat around for thirty years and we got it running by pushing it through the paddock.
Another enjoyable little video. Just right when I'm looking to relax for a few minutes and learn something new. Thanks! 😃
what a pretty wholesome family
Love this! Not only do I also love bringing old cars back to life, not only do I currently drive a Jimny, but I also have a white EBT!
Another great save Marty,and them Sammy's were fun little machines and went most anywhere due to their light-weight, solid axles,manual trannies,real high/low t-case and low power which equates to reliable,non part breaking, traction maintaining(other than the short springs limits) and just an all around fun machine..

Hi Marty, I notice your offroad trip is clearing tree branches with your windscreen, try an old Landrover offroad trick, of thin steel cable with a turnbuckle to tighten between the top front outer of both front wings (fenders?) to the top outside of your roof, a tight steel cable will just move tree branches over your roof safely.
Indestructable little jeep with an indestructable little Datsun A12 engine. Great combination. Its quite theraputic watching your videos, doing all the things we'd love to do, but can't. Good stuff!
I’m starting to feel like there’s nothing Marty can’t fix, he makes it look so easy!
My dad had an old truck and took me trail riding just like that. Good on you for making some healthy core memories with the kids.
Well done on fixing-up the old truck too.
those old sierras are pretty much unstoppable, great farm machines.

You are the envy of every green laner in Britain 👍🏻🏴
Very satisfying video - bringing something back to what it was is just good karma
shes running beautiful, amazing how solid old cars are
Marty, so that is your commute to work. I'd suggest putting a bush hog upside down on that vehicles roof and prune as you go. Your energetic dog makes a fine pilot fish and the junior officers make good camera position scouts.
After years of watching your videos, I know more about engines, hydraulics, differentials, bearings, than ever before, and I don't even own a car. Great educational channel.
Hey Marty, those scratches will buff out, don't worry about it! Cool little bush rig, love it!

I sure enjoy your videos Marty. Just watched a guy doing what guys do. As I sit here recovering from some minor surgery I wanted to thank you for your time!

I had a 74 cj5 with the factory v8 & 4.11 gears with posi. Put a locker in the front and it would climb trees. Great fun
SJ410 can get up the grades. Useful for small jobs and narrow tracks.

I'D have to try a can of that Flex Seal on the outside and then inside of the roof to see if it really works and kept the water out as the commercials and 1000s of ratings state it does... quick,cheap,and easy.. Beats gas welding,soldering,or patching,maybe..
Hey Hi Marty, by what l am seeing the engine you got in there is Nissan 1400, and i South Africa there were many thousands of them(no joke) in several models , including conversions into Suzukis and other brands and applications, which also included highly tuned engines. Great farm buggie by the way...
Its a nissan a12
Well if this isnt an excellent commercial for Suzuki I dont know what is. That engine sounds smooth as butter. Amazing.
Datsun engine...
twice the horsepower....
and somewhat longer lasting.
5 main bearing 1179cc 4 cylinder and very smooth running....
high revving yet long lasting as well.
I really wish I had the time and knowledge like you do to fix up older vehicles, great video tho, I live vicariously through your videos
I love your jack stands!!!!
A couple of upright scythe blades like ears would tidy that lot up nicely, and a couple of road signs would make a good floor !
the kids and dog enjoyed the trip out, nice one marty.
Most of what you’ve done is catching up on a lack of maintenance. Wonderful what you can do with patience, a few tools, and some fresh oil. Years in it now!
Great video Marty!! I wasn't expecting to see the grand finally quite so soon. Good surprise though with the pinion all being good!!! Great luck! Nice to take the kids on a little excursion with you to test it out. The seem like great kids! They must have a great mom and dad!! 😁
MartyT does detailing! Careful of the scratches those trails may make! It seems a good little runner, be great for the kids to muck about in off road in a year or so!
Nice work. A little bit of elbow grease and running perfect. Have a great day
Well done Marty, the easy fixes are the best sort but of course it’s knowing where to look. My brother in Christchurch made good money fixing rust in cars. If a car had rust that perforated the body it would fail it’s warrant of fitness so the car yards would call my brother and he would turn up with his tools in the boot, a mig, a grinder, some sheet metal and some hand tools. He’d cut the rust out and leave it ready for the panel beaters to finish it off. They just hated doing the actual rust repair. He called himself The Rust Cutter, probably after the Toe Cutter in Mad Max. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Drum brakes. Points ignition. Carbs. Bloody awesome.
Love your videos. I had a samurai the same color but it was a soft top. Great little off-road vehicles and a wonderful addition to the fleet.
Running pretty nice for the price after a bit of fiddling and fixing I say! Love the Bull terrier leading the way then catching a lift ! Good fun with that !
Love it, I have 2 of them in the states on our farm. They'll go pretty much anywhere you want to go. Great video as always
Marty T, u finally gotten ur SJ410 4x4 running great. ur Kids enjoyed the ride and ur Dog too. lv the views.
Amazing what some care and maintenance can do to get old machines back in operation again. Well done Marty. 👍👍
Excellent video Marty :) also glad pinning seal on back axle need tighten up and very good test drive too on for use in home property or when cutting fire wood up !
Not get another body for it Marty. That engine sounds really sweet.
Excellent job again, looked so much better just with the Land Rover wheels on it and a clean up! Real shame about the rust cos it looks a good little motor..
Nice job 👍🏴🇬🇧
God is good to you Marty...mostly just check & correct with little money spent👍
WOO HOO
You honestly have everything you could possibly need! A beautiful family and an amazing bit of paradise I'm jealous bro! Wish you all the best dude great video as usual!
Aaahh... awesome resurrection. Those little guys are sturdy as hell. They just keep going if you know where to look at. I have the current version of the car and technologically speaking is not so different either 😂 It is good fun to drive it, though.
Awesome Marty! After you did up the condenser nut the engine sounded sweet as considering it was abandoned for so long. Great work and thanks for the video.
Great videos Marty 😃👍. You put those UA-cam mechanics who have the fancy air tools and ramps etc to shame, just working in your yard with blocks of wood and bare tools it’s great to watch you bring heaps of scrap back to life. Keep them coming Marty and never stop enjoying yourself. 😃😃😃 Tom. UK
That car turned out amazing. Must have had some incredible build quality from new. Fun to see the girls go along, my girls would too when they that small, now they are teenagers....
... one of the best 4X4's ever made, if not actually the Best.
