greetings from Pontassieve province of Florence Italy I have a Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 van with a 1.3 lt petrol m13a engine from 2001 that I use to make dirt farm and forest roads and paths with 4/7 cm broken gravel and I go on forest roads where woodcutters pass with their forestry tractors such as skidders and forwarders and in my opinion the Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 thanks to its size the Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 goes into territories where larger 4x4 off-road vehicles have difficulty passing!
on the broken glove compartment door, a common fix on those is to go get a small piano hinge from Home Depot and screw it to the bottom of the door. That's how I did mine. Cool little project rig man, keep banging away at it!
That's so funny. I already have that video made. Got it from Home Depot, it ended up being the exact right length, didn't even have to cut it. I had to split the video into 2 parts, currently uploading half of that video where I convert the broken clock into a USB Charger/Voltmeter. Thanks alot for watching, I'll check out your channel!
@@CTMadModz Thank you, I'm sure I'll take you up on that. I screwed the piano hinge into the dash part but used epoxy on the door side. I guess I didn't think there was enough meat to get screws into the door but that woulda been much easier. I'll have to look at it again.
Man that's great to hear. I just feel more alive when I have a project to work on, only wishing I would have filmed them all, but I'm gonna start. Comments like this give me the motivation to make videos and learn how to edit better, so we're motivating each other!
@@P.Trim69 Be selective where you start. Pick something that will be easy to start and finish and something that you'll feel good about after. Then it'll boost your motivation and there's a higher chance you'll keep plugging away at it. I suffer from the need for instant gratification. It usually helps me finish small things but stuff like prepping these floors just kills me!
@@FixLife119 right 👍🏻. Well i suffer from two. Two kids that no it all but really don't know nothing. I still love um though. All n all pretty good kids don't do drugs, son drinks little not bad both work. be 24 and 20 April n may.son his old lady splits ville. Get grandbaby 3,4 Days a week he's 4. He had twin sister little baby got called up heaven. 6 month old. They was born early. 4 months early, something was going wrong had to do C-section get um . They couldn't get along her daddy lives right beside her place it was always this that. Now he calls my boy you need come up get bub she whoring around n stuff. It a mess. So dealing all that mess cause he's back home until gets figured out try build house by something. My daughter she's like her mommy so that's enough said already. Lol did i two, shoot meant three. How can i forget about ole lady. Yeah the lack of three. Yeah that's me. But like old Hank Jr. Got shotgun,a rifle and 4wheel drive. Country boy can survive. Yeah i like them instant gratification projects anything day or two and make noticeable change. Them weeks and months projects they keep me bummed out till getting at end be chomping at the bit get it done. i need to not tomorrow it as much as i do. Get in rush then cause done lost day or two. Well one day maybe 🤔 we'll see. 😂 All ready doing it.
@@P.Trim69 Sounds like you got a pretty full plate already! Sorry about you're grandbaby 😞 You're right about picking something that'll make a noticeable difference, be done in a few days, build up the confidence for the next part. Right now the exhaust and floors are both kicking my ass. Crazy what they charge for some cheap tube and reducers, then none of it is round and dont fit together. Be glad when it's done.
My Gen4 Jimny The front lights I replaced the original H4 with H4 LEDs from X-7Seven. Massive difference! I replaced all the other external halogens with LED’s from Headlight Revolution. Massive difference!
I bet. I kinda experienced that last night. Yesterday my friend came over with his dad's Samurai. I fixed some wiring on his relay harness for the LED headlights, then I drove it at night. They were very bright! I could see everything.
Ya know, I never paid too much attention to them but had a few friends with them a long time ago. There seems to be somewhat of a cult following for them, and the longer I have it the more I understand why. So easy to work on, people say they'll go anywhere, and honestly they're just fun. Some of them go for big bucks but you can still find them pretty cheap if you go hunting for a fixer upper. Can't think of a better vehicle to restore, and you'll easily make your money back if/when you sell it. Hey, thanks for watching!
Honestly I thought they came out of another vehicle but I painted them gray today (tomorrow's video) to match the dash with the same Dupli-Color Vinyl and Fabric paint. They are vinyl seats and I'm thinking they must have come out of a Samurai and I say that because of something I noticed while they were out today. The passenger seat is much taller. For the thumbnail pic I had to space the drivers seat up 3" to match the height of the passenger seat. Then when I went to put them back in I noticed where the drivers seat bolts in its elevated and it looked factory. Once they're in they're the same height. That paint is really amazing. It dries flexible. I tested it after about 2 minutes of dry time I couldn't scrub it off with alcohol, so I'm not really worried about it coming off, we'll see. If you watch tomorrow you'll notice the second can of paint was a slightly different color even though they were the same part number. Then the second seat had a few lighter colored splotches. I have 2 more cans on order I'll pick up tomorrow and prob have them 100% in the following video, they already look great though, now that it all matches. Thank you for watching!
@@FixLife119 I definitely don’t think they are factory samurai seats. They look no great. A lot of people take the sliders off the factory seats(so they match heights and mounting points) and attach them to different seats. I have 2door dodge neon seats in mine.
Lol, just a Milwaukee shop vac. If you like that wait till you see the little inverter thingy, it'll be in the video I'm making tonight, it'll be out tomorrow. I believe it's called a Top Off, super handy! Thanks for watching!

@@lmalesci Thank you for the comment. I agree they are wonderful. I just love their simplicity. Great vehicle to flat tow behind a motorhome too.
To get heavy grease off, use brand name oven cleaner. Be warned though, it can take paint off.

@@FixLife119 let me know if you have any questions… I have pretty much rebuilt every part of mine lol

@@CTMadModzYes Sir. Been watching ur channel for a while. You done some great videos. Great rebuilds and mods .
Thanks for making these videos, makes me feel bad watching them when I should be working on my own Zook. I thank you for some 2024 motivation.

Yes Sir u got that right. Going have to do the same. Man it sure is easier to pick video than pick a place to start on a project.

Yes Sir
Hope to see more of the sami
Absolutely. I'm trying for a video every day or 2.

Hey, thanks. I've been trying to do a video every day, not sure how long I can keep it up but I'm gonna try. I appreciate you watching!
Cool project. I love my samurai. Do you know what the seats came from? The leather looks great.

@@charlestiffany1526 Ahh, good point, yeah I guess if they changed the rails the seats could really be out of anything.

What is this sorcery ?!?!?
