Epic adventure guys ! Nice to see you out on the trail with more zuki rigs then just youre zuki rig !!

So great to see so many zooks. Great video.

Love the video. Very well produced.

Kyle your videos just keep getting better and better. What a great weekend. Looks like Frankie still has a way to go to catch up to Remy😉

We just ran the Rubicon a month ago in our Yamaha RMAX 1000's and can appreciate what the the Suzuki Samurai's can do as they have even a shorter wheelbase than ours (we're 86.7"). Really nice camera work and editing! Only thing I would do is add 'Rubicon' somewhere in the title as your video doesn't show up in a YT 'Rubicon' search.

One look at (what was left of) the body gave away the starting point at least. I had a black Geo Tracker/ Suzuki Sidekick too. This one is a total frankenstein though! Those horrible-for-offroad straight-down rocker panels, gone. Rear coil suspension, gone and turned into a long-leaf with missing links. Front IFS, gone and turned into a 4 link and pushed way forward. In fact, this thing has a big wheelbase stretch- I wanna know more too!

@@FortuneOffRoad Well I know what I'm doing with the rest of my afternoon! haha. Thanks for the reply!

I read that for rock climbing aired up tires gave better traction. For soft soil, aired down tires gave a bigger pad area. Has anybody noticed better traction without airing down? I'll try that next time I get on the Rubicon. Looking forward to trying my 5:36 gearing with 37" tires in 1st gear.

@FortuneOffRoad

Жыл бұрын

Airing down is always going to be better traction. How much to air down for different terrain is what you need to figure out. 37s and low gears should be great for the trail 🤙🏻

Every tire/wheel combo is different. I go down to 5psi on mine, but have burped air. I usually go down to 10psi and then see how it looks when I'm flexed out or something. Other than losing air, I also don't want the tire to get pinched between a rock and the wheel. 🤙🏻
