Thank you. After ordering these sliders and showing up a week later. No full color instructions. I used your video to install the sliders. I only found your video. Crazy that lror does not send instructions. However, thank you for showing such great install. 👍
You should look into Eastwood products if you haven't, they sell powder coating products and higher quality paint products that may be a bit more durable in case that's what you're looking for. The sliders look great.
Fortune Off-Road yea I’ve fabbed up some pieces for the sammy like the seat brackets for the BMW seats i installed, it be a good idea like u suggested to add braces to the frame and sliders
Thanks for checking out our videos! I'm glad you like them. These sliders came from low range off road. lowrangeoffroad.com/suzuki/samurai-1986-1995/armor/rock-sliders-mounting/suzuki-samurai-defiant-armor-rocker-mount-rock-sliders.html
Look awesome, no way around it. My concern would be that the parts added are way stronger and heavier than the body it bolts on to If you were to slide on rocks, the sliders themselves would probably fly off ripping through the bolts as bolted onto the body. Worse case scenario the sliders will remain bolted pushing up on the body tub destroying it A proper rock slider should be positioned under the body panel and affixed to the chassis protecting the body instead of using the body
انا من المتابعين لك..ومعجب في اعمالك والدي سوزوكي ساموراي 1985 تمنياتي لك بالتوفيق ..وانت ممتاز I am one of your followers..and admire your work. My father is Suzuki Samurai 1985. I wish you success.. and you are excellent.
Thanks for making this video. I'm about to install a set this weekend.....now I'm terrified about those jack nuts. Oh well, at least I got some tips from your video. Have you had occasion to put them to the test on the trail? Thanks again.
Hey Kyle, not sure if you've made a video about this, but could you go over how to drive off-road in a samurai? For example, in a video you're walking next to your samurai (ghost riding), how are you able to do that if it's a manual transmission?
Do they not recommend putting primer or some kind of sealant in the holes to avoid rust? Or are Samurais not prone to rusting rockers like trackers and sidekicks?
They probably do recommend that. I put primer all over the bare metal surfaces but haven't put any sealant on. I may do that when I add some braces later on. KM
@@FortuneOffRoad I would recommend it if you plan to keep the Samurai for a while, I've had a 98 tracker on which the rockers were gone by the time I got rid of it, and my '99 Vitara's rockers are starting to rot - from the inside!
don't need em the wheelbase is to short to ever hit the rocker panels. lol jk . but actually they aren't a good fit for me because I live in southeast texas and its all mud, you would have to dig like 40 ft to get to rocks.
WTF? You attached it to the bottom panel? There's a perfectly good chassis rail to bolt real rock sliders to so close! Those things are just adding more holes to grow rust from. 50mm tube and ubolts to chassis, way stronger.
More clearance and a better look this way. The frame mounted ones are great too, but these are equally strong if you reinforce at the frame. I predict myself cutting that whole panel off eventually for a mini boatside. We'll see! 🤘🏻
Another great Video👍🏻
Thanks for taking the time to make them
Cheers from Denmark🇩🇰
Thank you!

Glad that helped, Chris!

They look badass I’d been wanting to do sliders and was looking at the jeep ones but these look very stout, great content keep it up
Thanks man! If you weld and have cutting tools you could probably make some fairly easy too. Much like the ones I have on the Suburban. 🤙🏻

Great job with this vid!👍🏻
Right on, thank you
What is the specific model# for these steps?
Your videos are great!
I love the tech and the wheeling videos.
We need more Nor Cal trail rides......

Yeah I'm with you on that. I've been running these hard for a few years now and the body has held up. I plan on tying them into the frame soon

Thank you 🙏🏻
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
They look really awesome but If feel like a weak solution to bolt it to the body and not the frame?
You're absolutely right. They take hits well but the body doesn't. I would tie them into the frame if you buy some.
Assuming your Sammy has rockers at all lol
May have to go to the frame! 🤠

Just take your time tightening them. We have lots of videos of the Samurai on the trail in the rocks. Check out the video released last Sunday 🤙🏻
Nice install and all but this solution will introduce a lot of corrosion in all but the driest climates.
Right about that!

It just has really low gears in the transfer case. 6.4:1. That gearing allows it to crawl in low range without needing to give it any gas. 👍🏻
@@FortuneOffRoad ahhh, so you would need to get that type of transfer case?
@@tylerhemmings you can buy one that already has the low gears in it like I did from Trail Tough. Or you can put the gear set in yourself. 👍🏻
Invest in a riv nut gun. Much better than the Jack nut.

I like to know what your total weight after all the mods you put on it.
I would like to know that too! I definitely need to weigh it before I add bugger tires and toyota axles.
Dont connect that slider to the frame the body and frame need to flex independently looks sweet keep up the vids 👊
In the full size world there was too much independent flex. I kind of want the Samurai body and frame to both become more rigid and not flex. 🤷🏼♂️
Thay look great but $400 though I only paid $500 for the whole thing
I'm gonna be selling this set to make some new ones that bolt to the frame

I have only hit them one time so far! Glad to have them, but you're right, probably won't use them much.
Haha painted my entire truck rust-oleum semi-gloss black
Dedication! 🤘🏻
