- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
- The Samurai's upgraded front axle is all buttoned up and ready for install. To help prevent future frame bending and give us a better surface to weld new suspension products, we put on some frame plates too!

I´m a really huge fan of the samurais, I suscribe to your channel, need to see more of this videos. Sorry for my english. You have a new suscriber from ARGENTINA!!!
Thank you and welcome! Many more videos to come! Thanks for subscribing👍🏻
Your English is great! Nice job.
Lol your beautiful face , el zorro's moustache are irrelevant , I am here for the build up period . Good job so far.
Thanks! Almost done... with this phase!
Awesome zuk my dude! Just going thru my front diff right now. Be fabbing up armor and replacing axles, bearings seals...
Thanks dude! It's a dirty job, but it pays off in the end. Still working on my transmission, but hopefully the Samurai will be out of the garage soon and hitting the trails! Good luck with your front axle.
@@FortuneOffRoad thanks! Will you be releasing some videos re the transmission rebuild?
@@k-jplinkster1245 I made one of the Transmission rebuild, but haven't covered the clutch replacement and install.
I was going to mention the stash in the last video.
Hi looks awesome great vid. Just a question are you going to run without shocks up front.
I'll probably be running some monotube bilstein shocks. I'll try to flex it out really good to get some good measurements first. 🤙🏻
Will the bare metal areas on the frame rail behind the plates rust? I know they make weld thru primer. I think thats what its for.
Possibly... I feel like I did a pretty good job welding it up. Sprayed a lot of paint on there too.
How does it drive on the highway with the SPOA suspension? I know some people can't even drive their Samurais on the road with SPOA. I have the Epic Trek SPUA and would think about the SPOA version if I can get confirmation that it is still very driveable on the highway.
Mine drives great! With the propane I can only go about 50mph so I usually keep the highway driving to a minimum.
What kind of front leaf springs are you using?
Stock all around. 🤙🏻
Where did you get the leaf springs? Or are they just oem ones painted?
Those are the stock springs painted with new bushings. 🤙🏻
Thanks bud. Watching your vids and adding everything in my shopping cart on low range offroad lol
What welder?

Can you tell me what suspension the original samurai is fitted? or jeep yj
It's all stock springs, just put on top of the axle to achieve about 5.5" of lift.
@@FortuneOffRoad don't they have to be longer? (+ 5cm I am from Romania - Europe) 5cm = 1.96 inches thank you very much
@@adycheeco1155 the rear springs are longer but I don't know by how much. The YJ springs are longer than stock front springs too. It sounds like the conversion pushes the axle 1-1.5" forward. Maybe someone else can chime in. 🤙🏻
@@FortuneOffRoad thanks for the information. can you tell me what size the telescopes are. your tutorials are very good and useful.
@@adycheeco1155 I'm not sure what you mean by telescopes...
a cheep plasma cutter would make this job take 5 mins.
Yeah I should pick one up. Do you recommend one?
@@FortuneOffRoad i got one from JEGS, 269$. you will need an air compressor and water seperator too. its well worth the money.
A grinder and paint will make you the welder you aint
You know it, dude! Haha
