Please, he broke a freaking tie rod, KJ's blow ball joints and diffs... Guess I just don't see the humor.

Too bad....because I do, and by the looks of it, so do quite a few others. :wink:

LOL, i love my liberty but i can tell you this. After owning my suzuki samurai... i will never own a wrangler. I've actually wheeled with wranglers on 37's that weren't as capable off-road as my sami was on 33's. but then again everyone has their own opinions.

okay guys you know this is starting to sound like a TJ board who shall remain nameless. I say chalk this up to agree to disagree. I saw the video I and I feel sorry for the owner of the H2. It's always cool to see somebody elses rig get blown up buy at the same time you gotta feel sorry for this guy. There are a select few ppl that wheel thier vehicles. Whether it is the H2, H3, TJ, KJ, ExTerra, etc.owner out there they are a very small percentage of ppl the wheel. I don't care what I pass or get passed by on the trail so long as good ppl are wheeling what they got. Yea I get a poo eating grin when my KJ walks up a loose rocky hill that the TJ w/ 4" of lift and 33's have to stop and get another go at it. And in closing just remember..... Opinions are like @$$holes, everybody's got one, nobody wants to hear it. Just my "opinion."

I like listening to (reading opinions) keeps posts like this interesting.

And I don't feel sorry for him, sorry to say. Its a funny video. The spotters aren't doing diddly, and yammering on about something else...until he breaks his stuff, then a spotter shows and tells him to stop when he's backing up with his toes pointed in. Its funny. My wife is a social worker....they find NOTHING AT ALL funny, she laughed at this video.....need I say more. :lol:

OH dude don't get me wrong it's funny as all get out. Namely the spotters. But at the same time doesn't your heart go out to him that now he has to spend his hard earned money on fixing his rig just because of the stupidity of his spotters. Mine does to a point because that could be one of us in that situation. And seeing that video is glad I joined a local club that are some of the best wheelers I know.

It goes out to a small point....very small....but I believe he can afford it if hes gonna wheel a $60,000 +++ vehicle without worry.

Those were some tough rocks, with my city salary, I wouldn't dare spend that much on a vehicle and wheel it like that. :wink:

I've noticed over the years that the Samurai is wheeled pretty hard core but I've never asked and questions. Just real quick, what components make them so strong, and why? Good tranny, drivetrain, for the vehicle weight? Or maybe a good platform to build? I have no knowledge of them, but I see so many good adventure movies and pictures with them that I've always wondered "how'd they do that?"

We have two brothers from Ohio out here with us in Moab with a basically stock Chevy Tracker and just going over everything we KJ's, Rubis, and Wranglers are going over and it looks like their tires are about 27's. He has sliders but it is really stock looking. No problems bouncing over everything we bounce over..and sometimes doing better than the others when bopping over, down, or up obstacles.
