Our Ultimate Suzuki Samurai is done and heading to King of the Hammers! This Samurai is so crazy in person. This is going to be one of the most capable rock crawlers I will ever build, and I couldn't do it without your support. Being able to continue this project from Xtreme 4x4 and Four-wheeler tv is a real honor.

I'm glad you think so! Unfortunately, the how-to videos get so many fewer views. But I love building, so I will continue oddball projects and share the journey with you guys 🤘

@masterflashtheone1715 4 месяца назад

Love the electrical side of building. I wish you could put out more technical how-to videos about topics like wiring and build methodology, but so few people watch it because they don't understand it... Can't wait to see some footage of it wheeling.

@willmorton6800 4 месяца назад

I would take the top to a leath shop and get them to add a 2" flap on the end of the top. Because I agree with you, it needs to be just a little bit longer. Still looks great!

@scottlambeth 4 месяца назад

Hands down the best off-road channel on RU-vid. From weekend warrior channels to high dollar comerical ones. Of the 71 channels I'm subscribed to, this is the one I enjoy the most. Watching your fab work has pushed me to take on projects I otherwise wouldn't have had the confidence to do. Not just the knowledge, but the excellent video and editing work. Okay I'm at risk of sounding like a kiss-ass, but figured you deserved some kudos. This channel has upped my game, and I appreciate it.

@Fix_It_Again_Tony 4 месяца назад

Looks awesome. Will be great to see video of it at KOH. I bet this thing will probably need what seems to be crazy low spring rates. It can't have more than 1250 lbs or so of sprung weight. The initial rate of the rear is likely going to be comically low. If it weighs 1250 with a 60/40 F/R split, that's 250 lbs of sprung weight on each rear corner. To compress a spring 8 inches the initial rate would need to be 31.25 lbs/in. The gear and the driver and passenger are going to be a significant part of the spring weight.

@edscharlow572 4 месяца назад

If you decide to update the top in the future a canvas shop makes custom covers. Example if you needed a canvas cover for your boat they could make you a custom cover. It’s the same place. Keep up the work , your videos always inspire me and I finally bit the bullet and started building my own rock sliders for learning how to weld.

Be mindful those temp switches are made for a block which is grounded, radiators usually aren’t, because they’re rubber mounted so you may need to run an earth strap to the rad for continuity. 👍🏻

upholstery shop will get you where you need to go for the top. they will add more material or creat whatever you need. there's several to choose from here in the pnw with all the boats needing work.

@punk46664 4 месяца назад

I live in Australia, so heat is more of an issue than snow, but I've always run adjustable temp sensors for the coolant. It just means when you're going slow in the summer, you can set it to pre-emptively start cooling at a lower temp. And then run the heater for extra cooling efficiency 😂 FYI heaters are a legal requirement here to demist the window. Extra FYI, I want the mTDI setup because it runs underwater

@turbo4x4buggy 4 месяца назад

good effort, look forward to a wheeling video, I just asked a local company here in New Zealand that makes boat covers and boat sun/top and gave them my samurai buggy and they came up with a design, its worked perfectly for about 8 years to date, from memory it only cost about $120/150 USD. It seems to connect in a similar manner to your new top. There are some videos on my channel if anyone is interested. Cheers
