  • Last episode - I saw this Suzuki SJ410 going to the scrapyard so I dragged it home, got it running and found the rear diff was making horrible noises - • Abandoned Suzuki 4x4 S...
    This time I fixed the diff, got the engine running smoother, put some off road tyres on and tested it on the steepest trails I could find.

      If if was mine it would get some flat sheets of metal to cover the rough bits so there arent any sharp edges to cut yourself kids or animals up. Riveted or glued or welded on doesnt matter, just so it stops unnecessary injuries.

    25years ago when I was young lad we picked up 2 of theses sj410 there soo good off road 😅I swapped in a 2liter Nissan diesel I was 15 it worked a little too well . Mine were also completely rusted like yours it gave them a distinguished look lol. I gave one to a friend he enjoyed it just as much and rolled it more times then I can remember messing around just flip her over and off u go again with a rachet strap holding the engine and box back in 😂as was tradition.
    anyways
    Where you live how you live and carry yourself is very much like myself here in Ireland
    U have some great kids marty healthy children in a fantastic environment to grow up and be there own thinking adults other then just following the dreaded society's intrusive way of live 😊

I know I'd love to see the fleet.

      I do always try to picture the layout and the scale of the property/operation. Like, how much space is the sawmill taking up. And how far and at what incline is the road when getting wood out of the bushes. It's so different from what I know that it's hard to imagine 😮 I always love the drone shots. But I could imagine you might now show all that for privacy reasons.

It has some rot for sure but another door or 2, front fender(s) and a hood would really make it a gem. A damp soapy rag across the dashboard couple times and you'd never know it came from the dead.
