Hey, names Michael! I just did a partial trade for an 86 Sammy sitting on yota axles. Truck is awesome except I'm having a great deal of troubles with the weber carb. Doesn't like to accelerate without bogging down.
Anyways! Who all is around Washington?
-
That depends, what section of Washington are you in?
You might need to put a pressure regulator on it, or re-jet the carb. Has it ever run correctly?
-
Welcome! What part of Washington are you from? I'm over towards the coast.
-
I live in Tacoma. I tore the carb off and I am rebuilding it as we speak. Should run all better once I putter back on. Fingers crossed
-
I am up in Seattle, crawlersnw.com, but there are a few of us further south. nw-wheelers is a great place to find out if people are running in Evans or Elbe. Or even Tahuya, all are a short run from Tacoma.
-
That's awesome! I'll have to look on there. It would be neat to meet up with someone who's truck has similar mods to mine, I like to see what all I can improve.
-
We might be running the Naches trail on Sunday, I'll let you know.
-
That would be awesome! I haven't taken this thing out yet so I am egar to see how it performs
-
Looks like we are thinking of running the Naches trail on Sunday morning. That is the plan currently, jump over to http://crawlersnw.websitetoolbox.com/ (http://crawlersnw.websitetoolbox.com/) if you want to put in your 2 cents.
-
Do you all trailer your trucks there? I would have to drive mine there
-
Yea, to long of a drive and most of our rigs aren't really built for highway miles anymore. Besides, it's nice to know you can load your rig up at the end of the day if it's broken and you have a nice warm place for the drive home.
-
Yeah, eventually I'll need to buy a trailer and a truck to pull it with
-
Not sure you really need to. I setup for a trailer because my SJ-410 just wasn't really capable of road duty over 50mph or long distances. The White Rabbit is better and if I put an ARB in back it would be fine if a bit slow.
It spoils you, but you do need space for it. Luckily I get to park all my toys at BRD HNTRs. :D
Otherwise my DD would probably see quite a few more mods.
-
Looks like Walker Valley is open again after fire dangers. Combined with the fact that my trailer has gone missing, I blame BRD HNTR, it looks like we will be doing that instead.
-
Someone stole your trailer??
-
It has only been gone for a month. It was a good thing I had it because my busted suspension would have meant renting a trailer to get home from Montana.
Broncoboy80, welcome aboard.

Well, my day ended after 5 miles. The passenger side CV adapter decided to twist off:

-
Are you going to try another one, or go back to stock? That one didn't last long.
-
Thank you bird guy haha
-
Ouch, that might put an end to a run!!
So... I might purchase a stinger front bumper for my truck tomorrow. Not really sure if its what I want but its better then no bumper, right!
And, what motor swaps can i do? I want more power.. I was thinking maybe a new focus 2.0 engine? But im not sure which transmission would work.

I do not know of any swap that is a direct bolt in, for more power. So that means fab work, wiring, & alignment issues that need to be done. If you are not prepared and have a place to do it, then I would recommend that you enjoy what you have until you are better prepared. Drone637 ran his SJ410 for many years (36hp), and managed to climb and go where he wanted. Trailers are about the same price as motor swaps, and if you can get your rig to a road they allow to you to drag them back home when things go wrong or break. They also make long hauls more comfortable/tempting to do.
-
The SJ had 45 hp, thank you very much! :D
We'll make up another adapter, the way it twisted I think the issue is that it slipped out a bit and was able to bind up. We need to get that bushing to put in there, that will probably fix the issue.
-
Aw man, damn! I thought these little damn motors had at least 80hp lol. Well guess I was wrong... So the motor i have to put in has nearly 10 times the hp lol
-
The SJ-410 has 45hp. The 1.3 in the Samurai is rated at 65. The Trackers have 85 and 95 respectively.
