Instablaster.
Great build. I just picked up an 87 Jimny and incredible condition here in Thailand and beginning the build. Your work is a real inspiration, lots to think about it.
Thank you Bruce!
The Suzuki’s are quite big over there still right?
Enjoy the build mate! 🤩

Wish I had 1.6 efi in my samurai 😣, what a beautiful machine
Thank you mate!
great little rig! wasnt expecting the violent soho song at the end i thought my playlist started playing lol. good stuff all around !
Thanks legend!
Such a good jam hay!!
One of my favorite samurais I’ve seen
Wow mate thank you!!! 😍
superb!!! owned two of these a 1litre carburetted and a 1.3l MPFI from factory. owned these for over 20 years:). Bullet proof little monsters did 250k kms across the two vehicles . Miss them now.
Oh you would be missing them!! They are a little gem that has a special soot in your heart! I won’t be getting rid of this rig 🤩
Good looking Samurai! I have the same color, but with black hood and top. It goes anywhere.
Epic mate! One of Suzuki’s best colours!!
Awesome video man, i love the little beast mate you've made me wanna do a walk around on mine now, i got a 98 isuzu mu with a l67 supercharged v6, lifted on 33s.. petrol all the wayy!
good it's amazing!! I am at WA too. Wish one day see you on road!!
Hells yes, keep an eye out!!
Nice one..👍👍
Man love the beast you have made
Why thank you!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I absolutely froth it mate. The colour is honestly the best part
this is so cool!
Really nicely modified.. i wonder why they still ride in our army fatigue..
nice build
Great video mate,
Can't go wrong with a car like yours tho!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate! Currently working on a sj410k i picked up 😊 Trying to get it road worthy as a bit of a fun daily driver
Zukis for life !!!!! Sick Rig ! Thanks for sharing it just subed to your Channel mait !! This has to be the suzuki samurai that was just featured on 4WD247 CZcams channel and you were the winner !
Ahah thanks mate! She certainly was 😍
Yeah buddy 😍 Love this rig 🤟
Hells yes!! Cheers ya legend 😝😝
Looks Amazing Jamie
Thank you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
really nice Sammy.
My Intake also sits on the same side as yours, I like that Snorkle. So Vitara Snorkle should be ok.. Depending on how big that Pipe is. Cause my Intake can take a 72mm inside diameter pipe :-). So Snorkle needs to be the same size.
An Amazing one Brother !. This is a really nicely toy ! . Let me have it, it's a good one !..
Sweet build mate! Hoping to see you out on the tracks! Great video too
Thanks man! Where are you from!?
@@riddoes up in the wheatbelt but I spend my time down south pretty often, you're from that way hey?
@@danielmoore2555 You would have a few hidden gems out there!! I’m from Mandurah
hola jamie, felicitaciones por tu sierra/samurái, soy un feliz usuario de un samurái, heredado de mi padre, que esta todo original año 1992 , mi padre lo compro en 1997 y desde ese tiempo lo disfrutamos, se va quedar para siempre con migo, creo que los dos tenemos el mismo encanto por nuestros Suzuki , te vuelvo a felicitar por el tuyo y como lo quieres, Antonio, desde Argentina
I only speak English sorry friend
Just picked up a 94 RHD Sierra. Very good content. Going to steal the tire set up 😅
Epic mate! I want to see this 🤩😍
@@riddoes you have an Instagram?? I’ll follow you.

Wish I can also get like this 😢
Suzuki Killer! mint bro...
Nice jeep!
love it need it
Wana come to the states and apply that recipe to mine?
Great job man. It looks great.
love it
Looks awesome man, gotta love a Zook👌
Cheers legend!!
Que belleza !!
Awesome!!!
I daily an 87 tin top, I guess I'll have to fix the 1.6 in the garage now.
Also, you under-sold that rear brake setup. I went the same adjustable route, haven't gotten teh disk conversion yet. Worth it's weight in gold.
Yeah get the 1.6 happening!! They are a great motor for it 😊
I think you’re right there, its a fantastic mod, the drums were trash and shes much safer now!!
Lov this zuke
Bought a mint 1992 sierra hard top in white, needed some inspiration for what i need to get done and found your vid, absolutely love your build! I'm in VIC, I'll have to ask you some questions when i get to doing the big mods cheers
Wow Thanks mate! Any questions mate I’m all ears 😃
I’m glad you were able to get a good nic sierra (and a tin top!!)
@@riddoes the stock 1.3 that I got is super reliable but definitely need some more power and am trying to find a 1.6, where do u reckon I start looking for one?
@@zaculbricky You could look for a written off or rough Suzuki Baleno or Vitara, or try a wrecker, or even a wanted add :)
Nice rig mate
Thanks mate!
Muy lindo, saludos.
In Canada it’s called a Samauri I have a convertible with all calmini suspension and 6.5.1 transfer case gears as well as a header I need to restore it and in process of getting the rest of what I need to Finnish her up cool truck you have👍🏻
Yeah i sometimes accidentally call mine a sammi! My best mate has a soft top too, pretty well done like mine!
6.5 gears are the go, best mod to do!!
Thanks mate!
Great video and nice to see a very simple AUS video on this great build. Any tips on finding a model as a project? I assume a hardtop is better with potential for less rust compared to soft top. Thanks!
Thanks mate! She’s a great rig, when I look for a Suzuki I make try make sure it’s a leaf sprung wide track. They will be the 1.3L 5 speed with discs on the front rather than drums all round. Personally I prefer hard tops (quiet and no leaks) or a fibre top. Cheers!
nice
What a weapon killer zuk man.
Thanks legend! Much appreciated 🤗
Gr8 baby👍🎉
Nice
Good
Wow 🙌
fucking beautiful
Hi!! Great video! Would you recommend buying a 1988 Suzuki samurai for everyday driving? I'm checking one out with 120.000 km and it looks beautiful. Thanks
Thank you!!
I think they make good daily drivers when they are kept factory, but when modified they are easily made thirsty and unreliable. Let me know how it goes!
very nice build mate, i am working on 2 models
Thanks mate!
Oh mad, i want to get another one for a project but they are crazy expensive even for crumby ones
@@riddoes haha yeah they used to be cheap, even in Indonesia where i am they are not cheap anymore
@@magicalempire One day we will find another bargain!!
Hi man. Amazing work! Can you please tell me where did you buy those wheel arch extensions?

Hi from and greece and i give you my love from greece also sorry for my english i have a problem with speaking them, so i am 18 years old and i love offroad and you know to be how it is to be a offroad guy do you believe is worth the money to build something like this i have a suzuki samurai and i am thinking so much to build this like this and do you believe is good for my first car-offroad car?Good job brother
Hi! All the way from Australia, these are a great first car and a great first 4wd. As it was both of these for me, i have put a lot of money into this sierra, but there is nothing stopping you from having a really capable, fun and thrilling cheaper samurai/sierra!!
thanks you very much for your answer so i am starting thinking it serious xD love from greece
🥰
Looks sweet man! I had a question about your lift all the way from Canada here ayy?😂 are those stock rears up front? Or lifted thanks mate!
The ruf leafs are 2” lifted, but with the big helper leaf taken out as theres not enough weight to need it in the front. You might get away with factory leaves but it may create a bit of body roll, from being so soft
@@riddoes thanks man your zuk is super sweet
@@xxxdatboi22xxx66 Thanks mate! 😄
Hello Mr Ridder... I own a 1987 carbureted model...same color also a hardtop..
Original engine...no rebuild...burns oil but still passes emissions test(barely)..
I have contemplated on swapping the engine for a fuel injected motor as you did... Or buying a rebuilt carbureted motor..
The carbureted engine costs $1150 USD rated at 98 horse power...
I use my hardtop for fishing...to reach streams and lakes that are farther and harder to reach... I dont off road...
I have so many questions to ask but this issue is the largest and most important to resolve.
Thank you all the way from east los angeles USA...
Hi mate!
When i got this car it had a very tired 1.3 carby, it burnt oil like it did fuel 😅
The 1.6 efi was the best upgrade, it cruises so well and is such a strong motor!
They are great cars for all types of four wheel driving! Go any where cars ☺️
Any questions mate go ahead! All the way from Western Australia! (I was in LA this time last year!)
Cheers
@@riddoes cheers mate... I will look for a fuel injected 1.6.. It may be awhile... When i get it done...i will be back with more questions..
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
@@camposvazquez No problems!! Good luck 😄😁😄
Sick build bro🔥...what kind of blue is your zuk? It’s dope
Thanks mate 🙌🏼 She’s a style of turquoise! More of a sexy green if you ask me :)
@@riddoes I couldn’t agree more😁
Thanks mate.
Is the stuff that you put sound deadening on like a paint or like vinyl?
Its a beauty. i recently purchased a 97 Samurai can you recommend anywhere to order parts?
Sounds like you’re from the states? Lowrange offroad has everything Suzuki
Hey mate love the little beast. Just curious what bonnet latches you are using, I’ve noticed mine lifts up a bit on the highway and I’m always a little paranoid it will fly up!
Hey mate, they are from Lowrange offroad! I feel the paranoia, my lwb ute is scary haha. There is cheaper ebay ones but aren’t as good. Cheers
@@riddoes legend! Really appreciate the quite reply!
Ihad sj410 I wanted to do the same mod but idk how much it will cost to lift the tires.
How do you engage and disengage the 4 wheel gear for a 90s susuki sierra. Mine broke a shaft recently and i was told it was possibly because of that
Tough and lovely . A hypothetical question - is it possible that if for some reason the rear propeller shaft in a 4wd vehicle is removed , the vehicle can still be driven to a place some 500 kms away ??
Thanks!
In an emergency situation yes it can be done, it should be fine but not ideal. You won’t be able to do it if the front has a locker in it though
@@riddoes thanx , man
Beautiful! Advice needed: Do you think a stock 1.3 71hp would have the power to spin 30 inch tires? We are speaking of asphalt roads, a Zuk for daily drive, only occasional off road trip.
Looking for tire size to compliment the Zuk but not torture him! Thanks in advance for the advice.
Yeah you should be able to roll 30” tyres fine. All depends on the sort of life your 1.3 has had... mine rolled them fine back in the day, definitely a healthy size for the little zooks!
@@riddoes Thanks for the reply! Ordered 265/70/15 which should be 29.6/10.4/15 in inches.
@@user-fh5mj7bx1u Awesome man! Should be a nice set of boots for the rig :)
@@riddoes
so how will my 1 litre sj410 Suzuki engine perform with 31 10.5 15 tires or can it handle even bigger boots and will it need spacers for the rims for that offset great look, how many inches are best for the body lift too?
Great mod . I also plan to try the rear up front setup on my zuk. I intend to install the leafs with LROR missing link shackles instead of extending the chassis mount. Wondering how she'll behave on the highway at high speeds with the missing link setup
Awesome mate! I hope the conversion goes well and that system is safe for your purpose!! 🤩
Hello there was just wondering what size lift your little beast is
Where is your tank shield?Nice build
I’ve got a long range tank now :)
How much was the restoration cost roughly?
Hey man, good job! Can you tell us from where you bought the parts?
Depends what you’re wanting! A majority of the mods are from Lowrange offroad in the usa and superior engineering australia
And common replaceable parts, ebay
That's a track bar. Not a swaybar.It's needed to keep axle located!. Did not see any swaybars. Nice rig, drive safe.
I would call it a track bar if it were a coil cab, the axle can’t go anywhere on leafs so its restricting sway only. Anyway cheers and much of a muchness! 😎
Hey mate where abouts did you buy those bush wacker fenders from? I've been searching for ages and found nothing.
Lowrange offroad
Very good job sir, I just bought my self a Sj 410, Can you tell the colour code of Suzuki ? And is your transmission is 4speed?
Hi mate! The colour code is 27G, i also got a sj410 two weeks ago! A little ute 🤩
And they started 5 speed in the late 80’s, so shes a 5 speed 😊😊
@@riddoes Oh great, Actually its my first Sj, I have kept earlier Vitaras, And Pajero. So I will take your guidance, Regarding some improvements, Cheers.
@@maximuskhann5318 Hit me up with any questions mate! You in Aus?
@@riddoes : No man I'm Pakistan, But surely I will be needing your guidance, Regarding my Sj project.
Is this a G16 Engine? I am planning to put a g16 engine and power steering to make it everyday use my Samurai 88 g13 Engine no power steering. Some people has suggested me to buy a sidekick or Geo tracker and get everything from it to update my Samurai. What do you think guys? I just want a 16v Engine and power steering conversion for everyday use and some off road trips a year.
Hi mate, it is the g16b. So it’s the efi Version (much better in my opinion)
I’ve not done the power steering conversion. But it’s fairly easy running this motor so I’ve heard
@@riddoes Thanks, I will be finding a g16B. What you say about the assisted wheel encourages me to try to do a swap, another problem is my country rain all like 8 months so an A/C is a must another challenge yet. People told me getting a tracker or sidekick getting pulled everything I need will be the cheaper way.
Please pleased pleased ! . Let me have it ! .
New guy here. The leaf springs seem like the whole system is compromised if you were to smack them while straddling...
Ay?
Ay. Don't the knuckles get hit? The leaf spring system?
@@axiom.ai.obviousbattletank7139 What do you mean by knuckles?
@@riddoes the tip of the leaf springs. Where the metal leaf meets the mount? I don't know the terminology.
@@riddoes maybe I'm seeing it wrong, but it looks like there's an inverted chassis leaf that's hooked to a low point. Am i tripping?
Gday Jamie I'm from West Oz bro. I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Jimny Sierra,it has a 2inch lift kit,ARB front bull bar,snorkel, all terrain tyres with stock rims,tyres not as big as or thick as yours, stock 1.3ltr engine ,& they're asking $19800,is that a good price or a rip off?
Hi mate! Its got a bunch of fruit with it by the sounds, how many km’s?
Personally i wouldn’t go an auto, i think they are even more gutless and thirsty. And yes it seems quite expensive for 11 years old!
Yeah its got 155,000 ish on the clock.Im thinking the same thing bro.Cheers for the heads up
@@bjs7799 anytime man! Good luck on the search 😎😎
How high is it raised in total? Ive got some 33” tires laying around and wanne throw them under my 93 samurai. Just not quite sure how much i have to raise it. Also need to get a different engine cuz burning oil and fuel like crazy can barely get 125miles on a full tank
Hi mate its about 4-5” and can fit 33”s easy! 😌😌
Lift won't fit tyres mate, when the suspension compresses the tyre will always end up in the same spot, no matter how much lift you have. I've seen 34" tyres on these with no lift. But with 33s a 2 inch body lift will stop your scrubbing. Just make sure your offset is correct and then you're good to go
Hello, where did you get the parts?
I need a transfer case for Suzuki Sj413
I would search wreckers or people privately wrecking or selling parts
Hi is this a g16a or g16b engine and wats the difference thanks
A is carby
B is fuel injected. Mine is the g16b, much preferred over the carby
Hey mate I am about To buy a Sierra for my first car at 16 have u got any advice on what to look for or cheep mods
Hi mate, It all depends on the quality of ride you want. Bodylift is cheap, get some second hand bigger tyres, or extended shackles for a bit of clearance too. I wouldn’t go bigger than 30” tyres if you’re not going to put money into the driveline etc 😄
@@riddoes thx for that would you recommend any good Tyers and lift kit
@@rileyenso4900 Maxxis are my favourite, value and quality!
I really rate Iron man leaves over any other from past experience on the sierra’s
@@riddoes thx heaps
Do the rear seats fold down I'm looking at buying one
Yeah mate, they fold up against the front seats. They came out with two styles, 1 big bench or two singles. Singles are the go i reckon. I’m currently running one in the back now, and i have my fridge next to it
Aw yeah cheers legend
@@nickharvey2607 Easy bro!!
Looks like a mini land rover defender
Haha she’s got enough dents to look like a Defender 😂😂
...... But more reliable 👍
What are the flares?
He tells you, 6’ bushwackers!
Hi. Where can I get those hinges for the spare tire?
I made them in a fab shop, but you can get similar ones from a good hardware or salvage shop!
@@riddoes The problem is i a. From Germany
Where do you buy The headlights?
Ebay :)
I need the LED Front Lights, please give me the Link. Thanks!
I tried looking for the link but the listing has finished, i took a photo of the old listing if i can send it to you somehow!?
