    Unmodifying a Samurai

    I guess it's my turn to start a thread. The time has come put my OG samurai back on the road. I've been wanting a fun stock samurai, but without the stock samurai bit. Big motor, soft ride, power steering etc. and instead of building another samurai, I'm gonna undo the rock crawling mods. I'm...

  3. 2003 Vitara/Tracker 2.5 - MPG tune, Mods, Is it a good vehicle?

    Hey all. Eyeing an 03 Chevy Tracker. Nicely kept, 160k miles, suspension rebuilt recently etc. Rhino lined, lol. The MPG figures are frankly a bit.. uh. Unreasonably low for a sub 3000 pound vehicle. Abysmal, lol It is the 2.5 motor. Has anyone ever done a chip tune or something like that to...
  4. Sami's Sidekick

    I bought this 1995 auto Sidekick originally in 2019 and no matter how many times I sell it I always get it back in a trade. The current plan is to get it back roadworthy so my little brother can do some trail running with me. Eventually I will end up swapping my spare toyota axles under it with...

  6. Build 5.3 swapped 00 Vitara

    Bad Zuki? More Like Bad Influence :fangers:

    Really didn't think this warranted any kind of build thread, but due to peer pressure here we are. :flipoff2: Always wanted a Samurai, but at 6'3" and fat I never even looked at them because I assumed they were just too small for me. Picked up some stuff for my JK from bad zuki two summers ago...

  13. Sammy on 37s, 2.7V6 or quit messing around and V8 it?

    Not a stock Sammy...years ago I did the Vitara 2.0L swap on it while it was still on 31s, and that worked well enough. I've since swapped to a Vitara 4 speed auto set up for full manual, 14SF/10 bolt axles, 4 linked the front, full hydro steering, went to 37s. Stock 4.10s in the axles, 6.5...

    Build Bulletproof IFS: Geo Tracker XL-7 Steel Front Differential Swap Tech

    Since I’m working on a 2006 2.7 V6 swap in to my 1995 2 door Geo Tracker why not bulletproof it by installing the XL-7 steel front differential. I read on the internet it bolts straight in … well as you’ll see that’s not exactly accurate! Stock front diff: The factory aluminum Tracker diff...

    Samurai drums losing tension when offroading

    Hello. Ive been fighting a constant losing battle with the rear drum brakes. Literally everything is new on them but the handbrake gets lose every time i go in to more demanding offroad (i think mud gets pushed inside of the drum and the auto-adjust thing gets unhooked from the gear, which lets...

    16v GM alt bracket

    Did I read that there is a different GM alt bracket for a 16v vs the 1.3 and 1.6 8v? I reused the one I had my 1.3 when I installed the 16v, but to get the belt to somewhat line up I’m using the front 4 ribs on a 6 rib pulley. I’m constantly fighting a squeaky belt.
