Recently discovered your channel. Dig your style. Way cool Sami…

@terrelljarrett9947 says:

What kind of a carburetor setup do you have?

@TheAlpha4522 says:

are you locked front and rear too?

@angusbarker5733 says:

If i were you id slap some extractors on it… the stock exhaust is pretty average

@mugenhitake says:

I'm wondering if that adapter plate is wrong?? I just installed a petroworks wedge and the new steering box points right at the shaft, no funky angle like you encountered in this vid. Great content btw!

@copethehagen says:

When you upgrade your wheels tires I'll buy your old ones. I'm in socal

@billross7078 says:

Just bought an 88 Samurai that will get a snow track kit so I can groom snowmobile trails in the great state of Maine. I'm going to see how much muscle I have to use to turn this buggy. Thinking I will eventually go with power steering – Anyone out there that has a snow track kit? And how hard does it steer? Thanks Bill

@johnog8358 says:

I just bought a samurai I'm interested in the electronic power steering option , where could I get more information? And FB or forums you would recommend

@rubblebubble7312 says:

im going hillbilly style no power steering

@SamuraiLWB says:

That s a vitara power steering that doesn t align good at all. You need a V shape plate to make it straight. You could have installed a jimny or samurai power steering as well

Yuck. Do like that set up but 33 be big as I’ll ever get if ever go that big. 31 is good for now actually 30 , 235/75/15 mudders Lol

@paultrimble9390 says:

Thanks for sharing!

@TheAlaskaCajun says:

Good install bro, I think I’m gonna end up doing the Prius power steering on my samurai and on my Tracker off-road buggy. But that trail tough kit looks really nice.
