Been watching your videos for years thanks to you I have a heavily modified Suzuki samurai using a 1.3 liter twin cam out of a Suzuki swift gti making just a little under 300 HP.
Wow that sounds like a little monster! Well glad you liked my channel and that i was able to help a little with someones project! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I've been getting parts from Hwy 83 Suzuki, they do samari /Sidekick/Tracker parts and bits. He has lots of good videos too. And they ship pretty fast also and are there to help, good guy. Your vids are always good and interesting. Cheers.
Thanks for your comment, i know i was having trouble with the focus, thats the problem when you film by yourself and try and get in close. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Mike, i figured people would get a kick out of it, they were actually my first ideas for the opening scenes of the video! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome! Wish i got a kick back...lol let him know you seen the video, maybe ill be able to get a discount code from them in the future! Thanks for the comment and watching my vids!
Hey, when taking mine apart, the peice you chisel to loosen. It spins on the inner part thats shaped like a t. Thos would adjust the bearing tenson on the worm shaft bearings correct? How do i set this pretension
odd question - I have a RHD Samurai, 1995 with power steering. It's in need of an adjustment, also I am in the middle of hooking it up to an ALH TDI PS pump, but I have no idea which side of the steering box is high pressure in vs low pressure return. Any ideas? Thanks!
glad to see this finally come out, the steering on my sammy is so sloppy. I am thinking of doing this kit, and the prius power steering, but wondered how the prius power steering holds up with water crossings, and being bound up in rocks? Drummond island, deifinately has some deep water crossings in June. Or would I be better off doing the astro van power steering setup? Any insite into how your PS performs, especially with the new steering box would be appreciated.
Hi, i ordered this kit on 30.august. I did receive a invoice but nothing for order tracking or for checking order status. I emailed them 2 days ago with that question, but nobody answered yet. Now i am little bit worried. I followed your link and everything looks legit. I am from Croatia,and i know that i have to wait, but want some insurance.
Always love your videos , your personality is great to watch and when you add your beautiful wife it just makes it that much better! Now if you could just take a little road trip to Montana and use those Fabbin skills to work on my Sami!!
Those are Comforser "Thrusters" 33x10.5x16. They are awesome in mud, not so awesome on snow and ice. There will be no review till i get to really test them in 2021! Thanks for watching!
I dont know, im not sure if it would work for the power steering box style, it would most likely be geared different. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video ordered my kit several months back just getting around to installing but ran into a lil hiccup want to see what your thoughts are on my situation The part that connects to the steering wheel not sure if it’s the sector shaft or not but it’s longer than the one I took out and when I put the big nut on it it doesn’t thread in a whole lot and if I put any pressure on it it makes it to where I can’t turn it easily by hand like you do your in the video any help
Yes it’s pushed in all the way tried it several ways and it doesn’t work the part that has the little box that moves up and down is different in size than the original one I took out I contacted rodeless gear already and sent them pics waiting on response
enjoyed that regardless of it not being relevant to my Suki being that i'm in the UK. i'm going for a 1.6 16v swap during the coming months but us being RHD we don't have the option of electric steering due to clearances with the intake manifold, starter etc. gonna go with hydraulic power steering using a box from a vitara but out of interest, what is it that causes them to become loose?
Hola amigo aveces se me traba la palanca en primera velocidad al meter tercera al parecer esta gastada un pieza que hace el cambio a tercera, en necesario bajar la caja? Para cambiar esa pieza
Great video, thank you. I ordered the kit, rebuilt the box, and ran into an adjustment issue. The adjustment screw did nothing for me. I never got to correct starting torque. It was very easy to turn and then once tightened too much the gears would bind. I just backed it off till it didn’t bind anymore. Any ideas what could cause it to be so loose? To much gear oil?
Oh wow, thats a darn good question, sounds like maybe you got one machined with too much clearance. I dont think the type of oil used would do such a thing. Sorry i cant be much more help.
I had same issue Contacted roadless gear and sent them pics they said the would accept my return and refund money I did not return I adjusted till it didn’t bind but I’m not 100% happy with the results better than it was but a lot stiffer than before and I have the same eps that Ron has on his videos
@@maximo979 yes my steering box is loose to, she seems to wander now, its looking like their tolerances are not tight enough. Ive done the same as you, tighten as much as you dare.
Did you happen to save the old seals? I need to do the output seal for sure but would like to do the input too. Searches show the output as a 25id 38od and 7wide... No info on the input bearing. I have rebuilt my Z's front end and bearings and seals in the rear. I did go through some seal issues on the front.. Sizes.... ugg. Shimming was fun for the knuckles too.
@Fabbin Adventures Darn, I know you did an electric steering setup, but I'm curious about tapping the tracker steering box for hydro assist. Happened to have 2 of them and want to hold off on getting a toyota box if possible. Thanks for all your useful videos though! Got the 1.6 8v I'm interested in using the Holley sniper efi on since my weber 38 doesn't do too great on inclines. Trying to turn locked 33s when wheeling is hard on the current steering setup too.
@Fabbin Adventures Thanks, the stock tbi on my 8v has parts that are getting hard to come by. The computer is also annoying as I had problems with it blowing a capacitor regulating fuel 2 times in 10 years. The ignition coil is $300 and so on... It also has very limited tuning ability to it when compared to my weber 38. I was able to flip the carb so it would run on steep inclines. On steep downgrades, I have the sami in gear to keep from dying. I modified the float and plugged some ports to reduce flooding as well known as an (incline modification). The sniper efi is tunable to an aftermarket cam and headers as well as possible future upgrades like a turbo. I also enjoy the 1.6 8v considering it's a non interference motor such that if the timing belt snaps, then the motor is still safe. The 16v is great, but never came across any good donors and I happened to have 3x1.6 8v motors.
Thats a good question, and i dont have that answer fir you. Contact roadlessgear.com they are the ones that had them made, they would be able to tell you.
@@FabbinAdventures did you find it took much backlash/ play out the box? I’m from the uk and have built a hotrod using the lhd Suzuki box but I’m getting nearly 1/4 turn of the wheel play before connection with the steering linkage, I was wondering if this kit would take some of that out?
Before or after the gear install? I have alot of play in the steering after the steering gear install a few years ago. I need to go back and adjust the steering box again. Thanks for watching.
Hello! Anyone have any idea where to find a kit for my Suzuki Jimny 2015? My steering box is now leaking again and it's so hard to find anyone who can repair here in Manila Philippines.
Hey Ron I’ve watched all your samurai videos love how far along it’s came any idea where I could get just the seals my box stared leaking today and can’t find a replacement seal

@@FabbinAdventures yeah as long as the parts fit to the right box no problem, play on the steering can be a menace, in your case the gear box worm has been over tightened or was too loose, i have this problem also but not gearbox, i rebuilt ans was ok after inspection, it was on the wheel bearings, they need changing or repacking, i am on my 4th Suki now love playing with them. great channel you have but don't oversell
