Samurai fun ftw. I like my new Bronco, but I miss my old budget $1400 CJ-5. The site lines, trail feel and connectedness, and simplicity.

I've viewed some other trail videos having various base and decked out Broncos, and the base versions were generally more fun to watch. The decked out Broncos sometimes seemed on auto-pilot with drivers lounging behind the wheel. (Maybe they had that off-road cruise control feature activated, lol.)

It's not always a good decision to spend big and over-equip, you might gain something but also lose something.

I’m shocked that 1987 Samurai is still in great condition. Has it sat in the garage since you bought it new? 🤣 Fun video guys.
I’ve had the Samurai for 6 or 7 years. The previous owner had it in a garage with a non-op title so it had been mostly sitting for a while.

Great comparison! Loved the Cybertruck method of towing the Suzuki for dominance numbers!

I love this! I came from a '97 Geo Tracker. Now I'm not the only one!

Regarding them blowing away... I had an experience with a huge gust of wind picking the body of mine up (windows down) as I started to come up a hill, made me feel like I was going to fly away for a second :LOL:

Very cool. Had an '88 Sammi hardtop on 33's that was a blast to cruise around in, simplicity at it's best. Flat towed it everywhere, little dude never gave me any troubles. Always joked my Sammi had cruise control, pedal to the metal and she'd mostly keep highway speeds! Should have kept that one.
