    Nice Video. I've had a sporty for 5 Years. Korean locker would help tons. I've found airing down to 12 lbs is magic

    I'm watching the video and I'm realizing this is one of those underrated videos. First of, No Music (!). Afterall, who watches an offroading vid and says: baahh! no music! I'm outta here! (lol). 2ndly someone's actually figured out the Sportage's short overhangs could make it a potentially afforadable great offroader. Then i check the channel out and you've got an 80-Series and a Japanese Kei truck. Didn't have to scroll further to figure this isn't just an underrated video but could be an underrrated channel as well!

    Fantastic! Ive just been watching your videos when you put the lift kit in. Have you added wheel spacers since then? It looks like your wheels poke out more now.
    Did the 235/75R15 tyres scrub much before you lifted it? (also still just the 2" spacers in it?)
    I just brought one of these last night, An old beat up 97 Manual, looks terrible but was cheap and cant wait to get it off road!

      My air pressures were at road pressure during this video, I didn’t have my gauge with me to let them down. I have thought about locking the rear but I street drive it a ton so I don’t want it to be annoying.

    Just bought one of these rigs to be a cheap run around vehicle. I had no idea what I got. Been watching a lot of videos and really impressed with these things.
    Your video is awesome at showing just how capable they are. Would love to know the "non-visible" mods (lift, tire size, gear change, clutch,...).
    Thanks so much for sharing

      Unfortunately I did not make an install video, there is a TH-camr by the name of Tommy Post who is where I got the idea from and he has a short video on it. It is for a Jeep XJ and there are many available online, the windshield portion must be heated with a torch or heat gun and moved but nothing too crazy.
