Hey. Do you know how I could score a hi-steer or Z-Bar for my Red 91'? Im on a tight budget and cant afford extra goodies but I just need that to complete my SPO lift. Any tips would be appreciated! Trade a bunch of skateboards and stuff thats about it! I binge watch your channel and also Dig The Rig videos are rad!
Thanks bud. I am running Swamper TSL Bias. Dont get the radials if its a mostly for trail use. They are 33x12.50 and the wheels are 15x8 American racing from the 90's. I typically have the tires set to 6.5 PSI
I like it. Howcome you put the intake on the hotter exhaust side of the engine? Also, I have a Drop Pitman and wondering if that is enough to handle the hi-steer with a SPO lift? Or would I have to get a hi-steer bar for not too crazy wheeling..?
Its how I got the samurai and it didnt really effect it so didn't bother changing it. It depends on your springs as well but I needed both with my setup.
I am surprised with the wheeling you do that you don't have rock sliders. That's one of the first 5 things I did with both my builds, and I have 2 more in front of me. All on your spotter I guess? Didn't help me though. LOL
It looks like he did a leaf over axle conversion Suzuki samurai come from the factory with the leaf spring under the axle by switching it to the top it gives you a lift maintains geometry and you can use the original front end parts
When doing a SPOA do you happen to know what size strut you should use? I recently bought a 87 LWB Sammy and they have the original struts on the SPOA which has made the ride horrible. I bottom out on a stone. Getting maybe an inch of travel lol.
After watching this I kinda wish I would have bought another Samurai instead of a Sidekick. But I just couldn’t find anything worth a damn with OEM fuel injection that wasn’t beat or carburetor converted.
Good looking Samurai!

Tire and Wheel type and size?? Good video, always enjoy seeing a good low budget rig that just works.

65mph hell I can’t get but about 45 lol

Its stock wheelbase. Really takes a lot to get a rock up in there but its a good ideal nontheless.
My dad had those cheesy wheels on on his mercury cougar. God damn we made fun of him till he died. So awful

They have gone up in price so much too that it’s hard to justify
Could I run the front yj springs in the rear, or do you think it would be too soft?
The rear is already hard on the springs. I wouldn't not recommend it. The setup I have now is not firm at all.
@Doing Dave Stuff Thanks, really like your setup!
