If if was mine it would get some flat sheets of metal to cover the rough bits so there arent any sharp edges to cut yourself kids or animals up. Riveted or glued or welded on doesnt matter, just so it stops unnecessary injuries.
I look forward to all of your uploads, Marty! I'm not sure if you're into this, but would you consider doing a video that goes over your fleet of equipment/cars/motorcycles/quads, etc.? I know I'd love to see the fleet. I'd also love to see a video about your forrest property- how long you've had it, why you bought it, how much land you have, what sort of buildings or other projects you've got going on- it's all very fascinating!
An overview like that would mean the Missus might cotton onto the true size of the fleet...old feller once told me "never park your tractors where the missus can see them all at the same time"...wise words for a peaceful home...
I do always try to picture the layout and the scale of the property/operation. Like, how much space is the sawmill taking up. And how far and at what incline is the road when getting wood out of the bushes. It's so different from what I know that it's hard to imagine 😮 I always love the drone shots. But I could imagine you might now show all that for privacy reasons.
Yeah, I’d pay good money for that. Not just the vehicles, but every machine you’ve brought back to life,plus a look at your hydro operation. You’re a legend.
Ripping through all that bush and branches will put a nice patina on the paint. It will knock off the rust and moss too. Perfect little back country 4x4.
It's a very appreciated car here in Italy, because it is so compact. Sure Land Rovers are good but in steep an narrow trails all over the mountains it's a very beautiful car to have.
Well, that was an easy fix. Like I said last time, those pinion bearings don't fail very often. I think I can see what the kids will learn to drive on🙂. Fair bit safer than a tractor. Enjoy your paradise.
Back in Yorkshire, my grandad was a chartered engineer who chose his cars wisely. I have many fond memories of my Grandma picking me up from school in it, and just seeing the interior took me right back! Thanks for the video, Marty.
My dad had an old truck and took me trail riding just like that. Good on you for making some healthy core memories with the kids. Well done on fixing-up the old truck too.
Another great save Marty,and them Sammy's were fun little machines and went most anywhere due to their light-weight, solid axles,manual trannies,real high/low t-case and low power which equates to reliable,non part breaking, traction maintaining(other than the short springs limits) and just an all around fun machine..
These old Suzies are indestructible. My brother has an LJ40 and an LJ80 and both of them have the traction of a Skyrim horse. One of them had sat around for thirty years and we got it running by pushing it through the paddock.
Well done Marty such a great buzz to turn something unusable into a working unit again. I had an Escudo which was awesome on our backcountry trips around the likes of the Ashburton lakes and Hanmer/Molesworth always get a thrill whenever you turn up on screen.
Nice to have a surefooted little rig for the road less traveled. Kids sure did enjoy going 4 wheelin'. Great to see that you didn't have to put in a tremendous amount of work to get 'er going again. Thanks, Marty, great stuff!
Absolutely fantastic, Sir-with the kids laughing and your dog running along, all having a good time-was great to see. And now I have even more respect for the little Suzuki jeep-she's a keeper alright. Thanks for taking the time to capture all this and put up for our consumption.
Wonderful resurection there Marty , perfect little truck as you say , very usefull for running around the trails and will happily haul a trailer of firewood when you need it . Great fun for the kids to learn to drive on too
Those youngsters are growing up fast but are getting a great education along the way! Always a pleasure to peek in and see the latest project. It's amazing how simple some of these fixes can be and it'll certainly be handy for some of your chores about the place. Thanks for sharing, as always!
After years of watching your videos, I know more about engines, hydraulics, differentials, bearings, than ever before, and I don't even own a car. Great educational channel.
Glad to see you got all the problems fixed up. It sounds great. It looks like you need to do some tree trimming. Always enjoy all your videos. These 2 videos were excellent. Can not wait to see what your next project will be. Thank you for sharing.
Wow Marty that runner has turned out brilliantly. Purrs like a kitten. Driveline appears to be solid now as well. I especially enjoyed the backwoods body work and the assistant photographer doing excellent work. It has some rot for sure but another door or 2, front fender(s) and a hood would really make it a gem. A damp soapy rag across the dashboard couple times and you'd never know it came from the dead. Well done sir.
In a world of ipads and screen time as a Dad myself seeing the kids helping out and learning is great to see mate. Keep up the skills and teaching your kids stuff they just wont find on google. I helped my Dad aged 80 on the weekend line the inside of his shed with some old timbers he had saved and wont ever forget that time together, building and problem solving. Love the channel mate.
Love off-roading and have been doing it since 1968 (discharged from USN). UK & US citizenship, and occasionally chat with some blokes as they bounce around some of the accessible trails in Scotland and the islands that have ferry services. Perhaps I'll sniff around and see what is available in the Suzuki market. Keep producing great videos!!!!
Indestructable little jeep with an indestructable little Datsun A12 engine. Great combination. Its quite theraputic watching your videos, doing all the things we'd love to do, but can't. Good stuff!
Had an 86 samurai jx convertible and loved the mechanical simplicity, durability and reliability. From northern Canada and plowed some deep snow and bush terrain. Wish istill had for fun and memories.
Thanks Marty! What a great little rig for running banging around the farm. Here in the states we had an old Army Jeep CJ2A on the farm and it was used for everything.
Great ride for the kids, but maybe the best ever ride was on the rotary tiller back at the house. You couldn’t say no so you rigged it so they got their ride. Your old salvaged equipment is back to work with an additional job of bringing smiles to children and your viewers alike. Thanks Marty.
Learned to drive in a flat Deck SJ410 on my families 6000 acre farm in the back blocks of Taranaki... that little truck was Highly capable machine that could go pretty much anywhere! Great to see you giving this one another shot at life Marty!
Such a fantastic car, we've had one in family for the last 20 years. I learned to drive with It and it was my first ever car, now it's still with me and in perfect conditions! Thanks for saving her :)
My first Jeep was a 77 CJ-5. It had tires similar to the ones you put on. Size back then was H78/15. They were narrow tires and did better in the mud and mush than wider tires would do.
I sure enjoy your videos Marty. Just watched a guy doing what guys do. As I sit here recovering from some minor surgery I wanted to thank you for your time!
Thats perfect! My family had a 1952 Jeep that we used on the property, never worried about scratching the paint. I learned manual shift on it and and have fond memories of riding with my dad…as will your children.
Great video Marty!! I wasn't expecting to see the grand finally quite so soon. Good surprise though with the pinion all being good!!! Great luck! Nice to take the kids on a little excursion with you to test it out. The seem like great kids! They must have a great mom and dad!! 😁
That Suzuki is PERFECT for your place! I can't wait to hear about your kids ripping that thing when they are a bit older, it'll be a fun time for them! So much fun to be had with that old thing!
Marty, so that is your commute to work. I'd suggest putting a bush hog upside down on that vehicles roof and prune as you go. Your energetic dog makes a fine pilot fish and the junior officers make good camera position scouts.
Hi Marty, Great video on a great little fun work pony. 🥰 One hot summer's Sunday afternoon in Alice Springs, I went on an errand from home in Braitling; to the local shopping centre. I angle parked went inside coming out with milk etc, hopped in and backed out of my spot, selected 1st and came to a prompt gronchy stop!. The Timken bearing cage front left had disintegrated; locking up the front wheel completely. So how then to get it home the ten or so blocks?. Well reverse it all the way, "as you do" in the bush, eh?. Noisy yep, but backing it released the menagery of mangledness sufficient to allow me to do so, slowly. Ten blocks slowly is a long way in reverse. Fearing that any moment a Plice Cunstibule would appear, drag me off to gaol (without even being able to say goodbye to wify and kids even!), and would be waving by'e bye to my poor forlorn FJ44 circa early 80's Darling beloved~yet~badly treated Suzuki Wonder Machine. Yes I made it, and discovered that indeed the very same Toyota front wheel socket fitted!!. And so the Supreme Suzuki Machine was plying the byways highways and narrow scratchy dry creekbeds one again in a very short time. 😇
Very clever using the brush to remove all outside rust. This will be perfect for firewood hauling. Just pull out the back seat. Who knew just a loose nut in the drive train. 🥝👍🏻
Most of what you’ve done is catching up on a lack of maintenance. Wonderful what you can do with patience, a few tools, and some fresh oil. Years in it now!
Well done Marty, the easy fixes are the best sort but of course it’s knowing where to look. My brother in Christchurch made good money fixing rust in cars. If a car had rust that perforated the body it would fail it’s warrant of fitness so the car yards would call my brother and he would turn up with his tools in the boot, a mig, a grinder, some sheet metal and some hand tools. He’d cut the rust out and leave it ready for the panel beaters to finish it off. They just hated doing the actual rust repair. He called himself The Rust Cutter, probably after the Toe Cutter in Mad Max. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
MartyT does detailing! Careful of the scratches those trails may make! It seems a good little runner, be great for the kids to muck about in off road in a year or so!
Running pretty nice for the price after a bit of fiddling and fixing I say! Love the Bull terrier leading the way then catching a lift ! Good fun with that !
Just a phenomenal job, Marty. I truly admire your composure. I reckon that's the only way to get things done properly. The kids had a blast with the pressure washer; loved it!
Awesome Marty! After you did up the condenser nut the engine sounded sweet as considering it was abandoned for so long. Great work and thanks for the video.
Datsun engine... twice the horsepower.... and somewhat longer lasting. 5 main bearing 1179cc 4 cylinder and very smooth running.... high revving yet long lasting as well.
Such a tremendous little beast that you have in there friend, Samurai is by far the best all terrain for all times, not even niva or UAZ are such a powerful machine as this little real all terrain vehicles, I love my samurai’s though they are a little bit newer than yours, but the only difference is that they are inyected, not carburated. I have travel half of my beautiful Chile including very snowy mountains in them, and they never fail.
Great Job!!! Right Kids!!! Make the cabin area water proof in case you need it in the rain and windy weather... Messy weather with floods and need get out of the mountains!!!! Weld holes closed!!!!
When I see that you've posted a new video I cannot wait to watch. So informative, entertaining and wholesome. You have a lovely family. When I get to the end of the video I'm already looking forwartd to the next one! Great job. Thanks so much for letting us into your world. God bless.
Hey Marty just wanted to say, I absolutely love your videos I’m 14 and mid diesel swapping my samurai and this is motivation!I’ve always loved all the tractor videos and heavy equipment as I work on the same things! Thanks for all the amazing content!!
Everyone's running around spending thousands of dollars on brandy new "side-by-sides". Not Marty, he just takes another person's trash and makes it into a treasure. Smart man.
That car turned out amazing. Must have had some incredible build quality from new. Fun to see the girls go along, my girls would too when they that small, now they are teenagers....
Between Marty and the Guy that runs AngryRam, the NZ folks sure make great videos. ;) Jokes aside, Marty, It's pretty impressive how far you've come on the platform. Well done & well deserved. I remember finding "Home made twin blade sawmill in action" a decade ago, and thinking it was super cool video, then a year or two ago having a "wait a minute..." moment. There's plenty of folks stuck in the office living vicariously through your projects - thanks for everything. :)
Hi Marty, I notice your offroad trip is clearing tree branches with your windscreen, try an old Landrover offroad trick, of thin steel cable with a turnbuckle to tighten between the top front outer of both front wings (fenders?) to the top outside of your roof, a tight steel cable will just move tree branches over your roof safely.
I like your words.. hahaha!! Smooth as silk... Runs like an Swiss watch... hahaha!! Be safe and be well .. see you on the next one with your little engineer.

Be careful that you don't scratch the paint Marty!
He was giving it a bush car wash.
HAHA thinking the same here, hahahaha!
Best thing about having an old bomb like that!
If if was mine it would get some flat sheets of metal to cover the rough bits so there arent any sharp edges to cut yourself kids or animals up. Riveted or glued or welded on doesnt matter, just so it stops unnecessary injuries.
He's giving it Kentucky pin stripes.
You Tube just wouldn't be the same without you Marty.
Agreed!!
@@Haakonisak I also like FarmCraft101, Mattias Wandel and Marius Hornberger.
The thing on the dash I think its supposed to scare birds away
Hey, don't forget SampsonBoatCo and Tally Ho!
@@HaakonisakI would have added Lummina Acres

In a throw-away world, it's nice to see someone finding potential in old junk. A man after my own heart. I always drag home rusty junk.
The simplicity of old rigs is the key of their longevity in running ..and your English bull terrier is a stunner ..
That! is an Oscarian malamute Siberian upbreed, will fetch a German and return him to your feet, any location on the planet.
I think you deserve an award for dad of the year too, good on you mate!
Marty saves another one from the scrapper ,you now have fixed yourself a going to town rig your videos a delight to my day thank you

Bought a new 410 back in 1990, best fun car I ever owned. I wasn’t scared to take it anywhere, it always went where it was pointed.

“This is so fun” sums up this little 4x4 adventure. Great work!
I heard that too , his kids will be driving it soon enough
Marty, you have the luck of the Irish. I aplaud your good fortune, everything you touch seems to come good.
Great job. It'll be a fun vehicle.
Well done Marty such a great buzz to turn something unusable into a working unit again. I had an Escudo which was awesome on our backcountry trips around the likes of the Ashburton lakes and Hanmer/Molesworth always get a thrill whenever you turn up on screen.

those old sierras are pretty much unstoppable, great farm machines.
I’m starting to feel like there’s nothing Marty can’t fix, he makes it look so easy!
Wonderful resurection there Marty , perfect little truck as you say , very usefull for running around the trails and will happily haul a trailer of firewood when you need it . Great fun for the kids to learn to drive on too
Hi, this guy could get Pigs to fly. Many thanks Marty and family, from UK.
Hopefully he never does, because I'd have to pay out alot of money to a bunch of people!
Pink Floyd already got the Flying Pigs dun
Hey Marty, those scratches will buff out, don't worry about it! Cool little bush rig, love it!
Those youngsters are growing up fast but are getting a great education along the way! Always a pleasure to peek in and see the latest project. It's amazing how simple some of these fixes can be and it'll certainly be handy for some of your chores about the place. Thanks for sharing, as always!
Turns out to be quite a find. Nice little vehicle. Enjoyed seeing this jeep come back to life. Thank you for taking us along.
I love your shows and the way you include your children. Reminds me to try my best to include my children in my life as much as I can as well.
After years of watching your videos, I know more about engines, hydraulics, differentials, bearings, than ever before, and I don't even own a car. Great educational channel.
You are the envy of every green laner in Britain 👍🏻🏴

Drum brakes. Points ignition. Carbs. Bloody awesome.
Perfect little beater to take off road. I can see why they scrapped it but it's good to see you revive it and put it back off the road

Very satisfying video - bringing something back to what it was is just good karma

I love how it sounds, it reminds me of my grandpa's old truck
Love this! Not only do I also love bringing old cars back to life, not only do I currently drive a Jimny, but I also have a white EBT!
My first Jeep was a 77 CJ-5. It had tires similar to the ones you put on. Size back then was H78/15. They were narrow tires and did better in the mud and mush than wider tires would do.
They do, thats what I did with my jeep,
I had a 74 cj5 with the factory v8 & 4.11 gears with posi. Put a locker in the front and it would climb trees. Great fun
SJ410 can get up the grades. Useful for small jobs and narrow tracks.
I really wish I had the time and knowledge like you do to fix up older vehicles, great video tho, I live vicariously through your videos
Amazing what some care and maintenance can do to get old machines back in operation again. Well done Marty. 👍👍
Great little unit for the woods well done sir Marty
I sure enjoy your videos Marty. Just watched a guy doing what guys do. As I sit here recovering from some minor surgery I wanted to thank you for your time!
Marty we love to see the children enjoying your work!!!❤❤❤❤
Thats perfect! My family had a 1952 Jeep that we used on the property, never worried about scratching the paint. I learned manual shift on it and and have fond memories of riding with my dad…as will your children.
Great video Marty!! I wasn't expecting to see the grand finally quite so soon. Good surprise though with the pinion all being good!!! Great luck! Nice to take the kids on a little excursion with you to test it out. The seem like great kids! They must have a great mom and dad!! 😁
That Suzuki is PERFECT for your place! I can't wait to hear about your kids ripping that thing when they are a bit older, it'll be a fun time for them! So much fun to be had with that old thing!
Great video as always.
Thanks God you changed the wheels. My OCD was going into overdrive looking at the one mismatched wheel!
😂
Marty, so that is your commute to work. I'd suggest putting a bush hog upside down on that vehicles roof and prune as you go. Your energetic dog makes a fine pilot fish and the junior officers make good camera position scouts.
Hi Marty, Great video on a great little fun work pony. 🥰
One hot summer's Sunday afternoon in Alice Springs, I went on an errand from home in Braitling; to the local shopping centre.
I angle parked went inside coming out with milk etc, hopped in and backed out of my spot, selected 1st and came to a prompt gronchy stop!.
The Timken bearing cage front left had disintegrated; locking up the front wheel completely.
So how then to get it home the ten or so blocks?. Well reverse it all the way, "as you do" in the bush, eh?. Noisy yep, but backing it released the menagery of mangledness sufficient to allow me to do so, slowly. Ten blocks slowly is a long way in reverse.
Fearing that any moment a Plice Cunstibule would appear, drag me off to gaol (without even being able to say goodbye to wify and kids even!), and would be waving by'e bye to my poor forlorn FJ44 circa early 80's Darling beloved~yet~badly treated Suzuki Wonder Machine.
Yes I made it, and discovered that indeed the very same Toyota front wheel socket fitted!!.
And so the Supreme Suzuki Machine was plying the byways highways and narrow scratchy dry creekbeds one again in a very short time.
😇
Making memories I see , the kids are so fortunate. Great parents make great kids, your pooch is always a hoot. Thanks for another great video :)
Wow! Thanks for taking us along on the journey.
Very clever using the brush to remove all outside rust.
This will be perfect for firewood hauling. Just pull out the back seat.
Who knew just a loose nut in the drive train. 🥝👍🏻
Most of what you’ve done is catching up on a lack of maintenance. Wonderful what you can do with patience, a few tools, and some fresh oil. Years in it now!
Nice work mate, paint work polished up nicely. Ready for SEMA now. 👍
Easy fix with extra work is a lot better than a difficult fix with money spent on spare parts.
shes running beautiful, amazing how solid old cars are
Well done Marty, the easy fixes are the best sort but of course it’s knowing where to look. My brother in Christchurch made good money fixing rust in cars. If a car had rust that perforated the body it would fail it’s warrant of fitness so the car yards would call my brother and he would turn up with his tools in the boot, a mig, a grinder, some sheet metal and some hand tools. He’d cut the rust out and leave it ready for the panel beaters to finish it off. They just hated doing the actual rust repair. He called himself The Rust Cutter, probably after the Toe Cutter in Mad Max. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
MartyT does detailing! Careful of the scratches those trails may make! It seems a good little runner, be great for the kids to muck about in off road in a year or so!
Running pretty nice for the price after a bit of fiddling and fixing I say! Love the Bull terrier leading the way then catching a lift ! Good fun with that !
Just a phenomenal job, Marty. I truly admire your composure. I reckon that's the only way to get things done properly. The kids had a blast with the pressure washer; loved it!
Nice work. A little bit of elbow grease and running perfect. Have a great day
Thanks for bringing us on the ride , Marty..👍
I'm sure it will never pass a WOF but still it sounds and its running smooth as butter 😮
Awesome Marty! After you did up the condenser nut the engine sounded sweet as considering it was abandoned for so long. Great work and thanks for the video.
Love your videos. I had a samurai the same color but it was a soft top. Great little off-road vehicles and a wonderful addition to the fleet.
Well if this isnt an excellent commercial for Suzuki I dont know what is. That engine sounds smooth as butter. Amazing.
Datsun engine...
twice the horsepower....
and somewhat longer lasting.
5 main bearing 1179cc 4 cylinder and very smooth running....
high revving yet long lasting as well.
Love those old Suzukis, rode them over many sand dunes in west Africa 😊

Great Job!!! Right Kids!!! Make the cabin area water proof in case you need it in the rain and windy weather... Messy weather with floods and need get out of the mountains!!!! Weld holes closed!!!!
Think the track you were on needs a bit of attention Marty, that little jeep seem a steal for the price. Thanks for the video
Marty.👍👍
You are the man Marty! Thanks heaps for your logical sanity.
Those kids really do have the worlds greatest Dad
When I see that you've posted a new video I cannot wait to watch. So informative, entertaining and wholesome. You have a lovely family. When I get to the end of the video I'm already looking forwartd to the next one! Great job. Thanks so much for letting us into your world. God bless.

I was cringing when you went through the tree branches, you must have scratched what little paint remains. LOL
Good to see it running well.

Gosh, that sure does look like a fun ride!!! Congrats on such a great find.
For those wondering. This isn’t a video on auto repair. It’s actually about the luckiest man alive.
These old SJs were not so easy to destroy! A rough ride, but so capable...
I love your jack stands!!!!
Hi Marty, I notice your offroad trip is clearing tree branches with your windscreen, try an old Landrover offroad trick, of thin steel cable with a turnbuckle to tighten between the top front outer of both front wings (fenders?) to the top outside of your roof, a tight steel cable will just move tree branches over your roof safely.
I like your words.. hahaha!! Smooth as silk... Runs like an Swiss watch... hahaha!! Be safe and be well .. see you on the next one with your little engineer.
You should definitely keep it as a bush car. You should teach your kids how to drive it. Awesome vid
