Suzuki Samurai project: Rock Block dual transfer case installation

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, I install a used Trail Tough Rock Block in my Samurai. This gives me an additional 2:1 low range, good for the technical rock crawling trails.

    Nice to see some functional modification Samurai vids on KZread! Nicely done, not overly long, and informative. I hope between you, TJ and a few others, the Samurai can have a nice future on KZread.

    Hello! I'm interested in buying a Samurai. The one I have my eye on is a clothtop with the bed in the back. I've been pondering ways to make a hardtop out of it, mostly involving chopping another tub in half and newfing them together. Anyways, by the looks of it you've already done this to your truck somehow. Would you be able to give me a little insight into how you made the hardtop? Or if you bought it where from? thanks! Anyone here with info on this is welcome to throw advice my way as well

    Brandon Andrews it seems like it is in a constant state of repair or upgrade. I've owned over a dozen samurais over the years, but I have owned this black one the longest, around 5 years. I'd guess that I have a couple hundred hours of work into it, cumulative.

    They're only available used now. Trail Tough used to sell the kit, but they no longer do. They're not the best product for a daily driver; depending on when you put it back in high range, the u-joints can be out of phase and cause a bit of vibration. Extended freeway speeds can cause the case to get pretty hot, too.

    sewerzuk, I enjoy watching your overland videos but never saw the crawler vids. I'll look for them tonight. I have a zuk buggy, linked on 37s and a daily zuk on 31s, (geared, locked f/r, cage) I trailer them to Rausch Creek Off Road Park in PA a few times a year and plan to bring my daily driver zuk down on the 22nd. Lately I have much more fun rock crawling the little zuk. I've never wheeled out west and would love to. I'll video some of the east coast wheeling in a couple weeks and post it on my channel. If you're board, check it out.
