Runaway Winch! Ultimate Suzuki Samurai Episode 16. The shake down run.

This Episode of our build series was tough to film! With all the people blaring music, using language YouTube doesn't like and no co-pilot... I had to either cut footage, talk over it or not video at all lol. But it was important to me to share the first time this Samurai hit dirt! This Little monster is such a fun machine to use offroad, but this trip wasn't without it's problems!
Today we will tighten fittings, troubleshoot problems and get a game plan of what to fix before it's first real trip!

This Episode of our build series was tough to film! With all the people blaring music, using language YouTube doesn't like and no co-piolet... I had to either cut footage, talk over it or not video at all lol. But it was important to me to share the first time this Samurai hit dirt! Since this trip, I bought a new transmission and have huge list of things to finish. The next trip should be a longer format trip video like I normally do. But since this was the first time offroad with the samurai... I felt compelled to share what I had! I hope you enjoy this little peak into my 2 days at KOH! Now I need to start editing the first Rock-lander route video 😁

That's the coolest, chilliest, little crawler. Effortlessly gliding over the rocks like nothing I've seen. Congrats!

[thesneak]

Pretty wild to see a Ian and jessie combs vehicle. My childhood right here with those two!

[kjhaglfjhgfasd]

Man this rig is SO sick... I absolutely love your build of this Samurai. But also, new fear unlocked... winch runaway. lol

[FlexRocksRollovers]

Awesome to see this thing perform! Can't wait to hit a trail with you! See you soon!

[Lukaslevanen]

These are the videos I love. Not some huge video endeavor but just a guy and his love for offroad in the raw. Keep up the great content Nate. It’s what brought most of us here.

[mbagley]

The little diesel that could, LOL ! Awesome build Nate, keep up the good work !

[deadskimountaineer]

I used a Blue Sea Systems battery cut off switch (one of the rotary ones) for my winch, never had any problems.

I put mine in because I got spooked about big unfused cables and fires, but it would work just as well for a runaway.

[jeremywood]

Amazing. That was a mind blowing demonstration of some rock crawling.

[matthewgood]

When you started this build I was not to stoked about it. It’s weird and ugly blah blah. After watching it preform, Nate you are a genius. That thing is so stable and looks like once you fix all the kinks it’s unstoppable. It’s the new moon rover.

[ratfarmers]

Soo awesome! It even sounds like a Unimog with that little diesel clackin away!

[Jan-pwpo]

So glad to finally see your efforts on the dirt

[StormbornJKU]

Definitely super cool to see all the build videos finally lead to this. Badass rig and I look forward to more content containing it!

[shanenorwell]

Great episode as always man. The content with Brad will be awesome.

[OutdoorAuto]

Wow… when the lockers work.. that thing was floating. Pretty cool… you have got to be stoked.

[SirWilliamGoes]

Watching this thing crawl the rocks in person was pretty dope. Great job on the build bro 🤙

[bRad]

Been following the entire build. Super nice job Nate. This thing is wicked cool! Can't wait to see more of it. You're gonna ROCK at Matt's off road games.

[DaddyJeepGarage]

Glad it was a successful shake down. It looks awesome on the rocks.

[RM_Garage]

All things considered - that's a win for a shake down run. Super difficult trails and overall the issues weren't that serious! Awesome job dude

[scourier]

The world loved this Suk when it was built on Ian and Jessi's show. Still loving it.
