    Owned two in the early 90's. 4 wheeled the hell out of them in Washington state on 30x9.50" mud tires. Awesome little trucks, went everywhere my friends went in their Toyotas.

    Here in India theres an abundance of suzuki samurai aka gypsys and they're long wheel base. So cool looking cars they are.
    They are so suitable with modifications anything just looks good on them.

    My dad is a die hard sumari guy. He has a few of them in the yard. Great for the rough terrain in the islands. No other car exists in his eyes but then jeeps.

    I would have to call this the cutest truck they make you could put an old snowmobile engine in one and double the power 😁 but that's what makes them so good - they're small and maneuverable and the short wheelbase keeps you from getting hung up as much, especially if you drop a small lift on it lol it's basically a deluxe street-legal UTV

    how do you find the ride with old man emu springs?

    • @jecustoms52
      @jecustoms52  5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Thank you, the ride is ok. My factory springs were not completely worn out so I guess the change wasn’t quite as dramatic as some people on the forums experience. I still have to remind myself that it is a leaf sprung solid axle vehicle and it will never be a Cadillac.
      Definitely satisfied though for the lift and price.

      Hello, I am considering the possibility of buying the old man emu kit but I have many doubts and here in my country it is quite expensive to make mistakes.
      What opinion do you give me?
      Did you choose normal crossbows or for more weight?
      Is it too hard to suspend or have it become more comfortable or uncomfortable?
      I want to go fast on mountain routes
      Thank you very much for your cooperation,

    Right there at about 215 is pretty much what i did that broke my steering gear box. The red samurai is way lower with tires not sticking out and he appears to have better control of the steering. Mine rips the steering wheel out of my hand. Like i said on my other comment im doing some research on wheel backspacing and stuff
