That was an awesome video. I love the LWB Sami, I used to see them all over Turkey when I was stationed there with my red JLX. After watching this I kinda wish that I still had my Samurai.
Yeah dude, the LWB ones are so cool. Would love to have one!
Thanks for your service 🇺🇸
My cousins bought a lwb sammi and I'm so jealous, it's so different to the regular one yet the same
Man this is real real off roading! We know the samurai well capable, but with all the right gear installed, they seem very very unstoppable. Very impressive!
Thanks dude! They are a lot of fun!
I like the long Samurai was "not" cutted!
Great video. With the group being spread apart it was great to see some of the rigs in front of me in action.
Thabks dude! Glad to see you guys made it through and back home OK. Looking forward to seeing your rig in action next time. That's the only bad part with a trail like this; you only get to see the people next to you.
💯 %extrime off-road 👍👍🚙🚙💞🛻🛻👍👍
Bellissimo raduno complimenti 💪🏻🚜😜
Awesome video! I had such a great time. Can’t wait to do it again.
Thanks man, we had a blast too!
Great show!!
Tried to look for walk around vids but only 1 ive seen a while back.
I hope your able to post some more especially the red one with checker plate cover panels.
Keep us in cool Zook vids✌
Thanks dude! Actually the red one will be featured this Sunday!
Here is the link to the previous IDTG videos.

Looks like a blast! I wheeled with a few Zukis the other day, those little things always impress me
Sure was man! Let me know when you're ready for a Rubicon run in the YJ!
@@FortuneOffRoad I’m always ready but it’s so far away. Probably 3 days of driving, it took 23 hours just to get to Moab
@@FlawedOffroad It will take 3 or 4 days to get through the trail. More if you really want to enjoy it!
Great video!! Need to catch the next one!!!
Thanks! Come check it out next time!
Awesome adventure dude. Thanks for sharing 🤘😎
Thanks homie! Worth-while trip for you guys next year! 😉
@@FortuneOffRoad if I start driving now I might make it next year 🤣🐢🐢🐢
Great Fun...
I had lifted my Samurai about 3” to fit 32’s. Now I moved the springs to over the axle. I’m running a Toyota 22R-E engine, 5 speed and t case. I’m on Samurai axles. The front drive shaft will work with a spacer on each end. The rear shaft is too short and goes into bind long before achieving the angle I need. I have a Toyota shaft I can shorten but even the cardan CV doesn’t achieve the angles needed.
Sounds like a solid setup!
Great video as usual.
Thanks dude. Glad you liked it!
Sweet Zuks!!
Yeah there are some really cool rigs there every year! 🤘🏻
Sir how stop body roll i put 33x12.5r 15 tyre in my samurai but when i change 31 nothing happened what should i do in 33 suggest sir
You might consider a higher valved shock or stiffer suspension.
What is the tire size on the LWB Sami? That engine sounds big!! IDTG on this one will give me a lot of ideas for my LWB on Toyota axles. Great video and rigs.
I thi k they are 33s but I'm not 100% sure. I wish I had more time at camp to do more walk arounds but it's a tight schedule with a big group on the trail. 🤙🏻
Great video! Was there any samurais spring under axle?
Thanks dude! I think the black one on 31s was spring under with lift springs. Not sure though
When you lifted your samurai with that SPOA kit with your 31’s, what shocks did you go with? And size too if you have that but just curious because I’m going to install the same lift as you shortly but don’t know what shocks to run
The shocks i used are down in this description: ruclips.net/video/eWaKgT1bzlA/видео.html
My recent video that shows you how to order the right ones for you: ruclips.net/video/rI2D-h-8cJY/видео.html
amazing amazing amazing! I have both samurai and 88 4runner SAS swapped. this vid proves sammy is tougher!!! lol
Sound like some cool rigs! The Samurai can tackle the con, no problem! 🤘🏻
I noticed you changed from the Patagonias to what looks like bfg all terrains. Any reason for the change? Am interested in getting some Patagonias for my samurai
Those Patagonias were great tires! These BFGs are too, but not for a trail rig. I only swapped because they were in my Jeep when I got it and it was an upgrade in size from a 31 to a 33. The ground clearance gained has been great.
oh man! i lost track of when this was. i wanted to go!
There's always next year! ...and all the days in between 🤘🏻
I won't be missing next year's!
Cool, we'll see you there!
Stock Sami axles are getting it done. What bimini top you have?
They're working for now! It's the smittybilt top. Works great 👍🏻

What is up with that blue Sami it makes it look so easy. Is shackle reversal a bigger deal than we've been led to believe?
In the samurai world that appears to be the ideal setup as far as lift, wheelbase, and gearing goes. The driver is good too!
@@FortuneOffRoad it is generally echoed in the Samurai community that shackle reversal is dangerous, creates poor braking characteristics and is bad for rock crawling due to the rear shackle catching on things. There are also very few kits offering shackle reversal. I don't think most people consider it ideal at all. But that Sami seemed to be having an easier time than anyone else.
I really like long samurai but it seems like it doest do as well as short ones
Thanks! Climbs better I think but also get hung up easier
What time of year is this? Could be worth bringing the ol beater down from oregon
Usually Father's Day Weekend
@@FortuneOffRoad may bring the ol thing down next year! Won't the forget spare gears and shafts!
Nice road trip!
I suppose the 4Runner’s gonna get a new front bumper?
I was a little worried about the black/white Zuki… throttle technique was rough.
Overall, looks to be interesting nightly chit chat.
You got any of those skull stickers for sale? Need one for my Tacoma, help me run the trails better 😁
I was gonna ask about traffic, seems you picked up a couple caged yotas for awhile. Our trip is this coming weekend, expecting it to be busy also. I think I’ll just chill at Gerle Creek…
I think the black/white Zuki may have had a higher stage clutch. Sometimes they drive like that and engagement is literally on and off lo
If you mean the black Samurai on 31s, that guy was working the clutch a lot but overall did a really good job. A much better driver than me for sure! I've got stickers and magnets for you! Hopefully I can get to a meeting or trail run soon. I keep getting busy with my own adventures lately!
That's how mine is too. I have a stage 2 clutch and it makes it really hard to drive on the rocks. Going back to a stock clutch after the next trans rebuild
If you ever host a yj’s take back the rubicon event, I am in. Jeep jamboree doesn’t allow yj’s anymore. Cool video!
No YJs?! Whats up with that? I'm gonna take mine in late August. I'll post up the dates for other YJ peeps to go. 🤙🏻
There's a difference between the Jeep Jamboree and the Jeepers Jamboree it looks like. I didn't see a restriction on Jeepersjamboree.com
Epic yj on the rubicon video…

Hey, I've been watching your Samuri content and I found the Zukicon video. I would love to attend Zukicon! Will you help me understand if my rig will be able to make it?
I drive an 89 Tracker 4x4 with...
• 3.5" lift
• 30" BFG K02s on one piece wheels
• lunchbox diff in the rear
• stock gear ratio
My question is, can I bypass the difficult obstacles? I daily my rig and it is clean AF. I don't want to break anything and I especially don't want to destroy the body. I would love to come and show out for the Zuki gang but if I risk breaking my rig I'll have to pass. I wouldn't even mind witching up some obstacles for ease. I know it's not a rock crawler. I would really just love to be a part of the event and see the sights along the way.
I think your rig can make it through but you need a lot of armor with that size tire and you will likely get some body damage. The trail is much harder with small tires. I had 31s the first 3 times and it was challenging. Much easier with 33s
I spy at 37:55
Do you have one up there?
@@FortuneOffRoad yup!
That guy driving the red 4runner sucks
He’s better than a guy driving a JK with a grumper
Man I want one of these samuries sooo bad
They sure are fun! Zukicon in 2 weeks!
@@FortuneOffRoad nice.. I just haven't seen any for sale and if I do there all parted out or in really bad shape..
