[@TheBulstrom]

I like watching trophy trucks and pre-runners, But I LOVE watching uncommon pairings like this.

[@rhouser1280]

I love these off road "This vs That" races! It's closer to something I grew up with as opposed to Ferraris & Lambos that I'll never own....Almost every one of these buggy's are available for anyone to make.

[@dub537h5]

As soon as the Scoob touched down after that first jump, it just BOLTED outta there!

[@motorsandvoltsandrobots7162]

I miss Daily Transmissions.

​@JaredR1996 and this already failing. They would release 500k view videos everytime. Now they can't even sniff it.

The old hoonigan Is dead…

[@russellbutler8957]

V4?!? Come on, guys!!

Yeah so bad 🤣

[@CesarSanchez-wf1zg]

No way they put “v4” on the samurai description 😂😂😂 hoonigan is gone

[@MoBiLoViNc3]

Yeah so bad 🤣

[@rhouser1280]

Center console cover coming up and down with the bumps...yea that'd be my vehicle🤣

[@unwanted_zombie]

I knew when i heard "we used an ej205", "we kept the internals stock", and "wrx drivetrain" that the end result would be what it was lmao. (I literally had that exact spec in my forester for a time, so i can talk shit)

[@TheReaper42069]

Yeah I was afraid for the engine for sure

[@AlchEm1st88]

@@TheReaper42069 Nah, as someone who's jumped many a Subaru during rallyx the drivers technique was the issue there for sure. I promise you he either destroyed the clutch or broke the trans. Engine is probably fine With a manual car you have to clutch in mid-air or when you land it will shock the driveline and it spins the clutch disk between the flywheel and pressure plate. It puts extreme stress on the clutch disk and the gears in the trans. He was wide open throttle for every jump. If I were a betting man I'd say that clutch disk shredded. He could've sheared the gears in the trans or bent the rods that hold the gearset too though. Or maybe he got lucky and it held up and something else let go. Either way, he better learn to clutch in mid-air!

[@ProjectWagon]

Engine is totally fine guys. Appreciate the paragraph of guessing of what’s wrong tho 😂 the radiator support brackets snapped and the hot rad touched our wiring harness causing a fuse to blow and lose power. The car was up and running with a new rad the next day 🤙🏽

[@unwanted_zombie]

@ProjectWagon hell yeah, glad she's okay then! Now please put some rods n pistons in it haha. Old mail car is badass though. RHD without the import fees lmao

You gotta race a Samurai vs Subaru BRAT in the ultimate early 1990s offroad showdown!

[@mr.pritchard67]

You mean mid 80's. Lol

[@yolosubmarine]

Yeah man, the MCM brat v samurai

[@oddrocket2743]

In the 80's, these were new cars and were not off-roaded much. By the 90's these had become $2000 beater cars. No one cared if they got trashed off road, so you saw a lot of BRATs and Samurais in Tahoe and on rocky trails and beaches.@@mr.pritchard67

[@DysonParkes]

@@yolosubmarine MCM did such a good job on that brumby, didn't they? Absolutely gorgeous end result.

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

This track is pure gold. I hope the concept takes off into an actual event

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

I wanna see A. Hodges or R. Sipes run this with dirt bikes. Maybe Pastrana

[@MiniFilms96]

it being that slow gets me even more excited for my samurai project 🤣 im keeping it 1.3 on 35s. pretty sure the 0-60 is gunna be 3-5 business days.

[@zakhand6992]

0-60 eventually 😂

Miss the the old hoonigan

[@chris18t]

Just watched DDE's new video and saw that they took over the Hoonigan building!?! So is this spelling the end for Hoonigan? I miss the old days.

[@jameswilde6713]

Yep, it’s over. Now “Hoonigan” is just a crappy wheel company. Time to unfollow and move on.

[@rngr.]

i just watched the DDE video where they moved into the old hoonigan office. curious, i came to the channel to see what they had been up to since i hadnt seen them on my feed recently and quickly realized why. its literally months of this vs that back to back. got tired of scrolling to find a build video so i gave up. i really hope that the new management can help them find their footing and a new identity

[@TSSFABUS]

Sick!!! seeing our parts on Hoonigan!

[@Redd-O]

The glove box flying open got me 😂😂😂

[@bg710]

when are yall gonna talk about the end of hoonigan HQ?

[@dub537h5]

Wait, nobody checked out why he broke down? We need the deets here, boys!

[@ProjectWagon]

We built cheap radiator brackets for the lower for the sema show and they snapped causing the radiator to touch the wiring and blow a fuse. She’s back up and running now 🤙🏽

[@loomspace]

​@@ProjectWagonShould've had those Sammy circuit breakers! Cool build bud 👍

[@jeepgibby]

Cool, glad i cant watch this in 1080p because youtube has it behind a youtube premium paywall. What a great company!👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@andymelendez9757]

Enjoying what you guys and gals do. Keep it coming!

[@Victumpwns]

I had the same year and color Samurai about 10ish years ago, I miss it so much. I wonder if this is actually the my old one seeing as how I removed the fender flares and painted the stripe there the exact same way. And of course the Sammy is gonna keep driving and driving, my friend rolled his at a monster truck show and it landed on the wheels and he just kept driving it for years after lol!

[@frun4]

Where are the rest of the videos??? I want to see some more builds and stuff 😢

[@rustybros]

Hoonigan going thru some stuff atm. Their building in long beach was cleared out and DDE took over.

[@elloyale9200]

Great race! Almost my garage fleet. I got a Subaru Loyale SW 4WD and a Jimny JB43

[@GustreBALIofficial]

DDE take over HOONIGAN SQ🔥🔥😊

[@Fervor2Germinate]

Hi Hoonigan, love the show! Could you guys add the horsepower and weight of the cars/trucks too along with the rest of the specs? I understand the power to weight ration kinda does this but I'm still interested in the actual hp and weight of all these sweet trucks.

[@jeremymann8930]

That Subaru had some seriously clean jumps, he's done this before

[@ktrocknerd]

He was in first gear until well after landing the first jump...and then caught deep in gear over the whoops. Only 400 hp and a tonne of boost made those wins possible.

[@84gssteve]

With leaves and solids, the Sammy did better than I predicted. With a nearly identically setup 87 Samurai, I've never had the guts to jump my rig mainly because of the wheelbase and the fact I like mine not broken. But, with a 130HP Chevy V-6 and Dana 44's I'm betting mine would have been a closer overall race.

[@kaidensheroan7089]

I love the off-road stuff I hope y’all keep it up man

[@sivrxJ]

This made me miss my old 94 Jimny I had when in Japan 😢 the things I would have done to it if I brought it back stateside 😂

[@rubenmarin3390]

[@pmdinaz]

I thought they shoved a Motus V4 in there when the spec sheets said "Engine: V4" on the Samurai side at 0:33 ...LMAO

37 seconds in, power to weight ratios: 0.12 vs 0.02 (rounded) and the subby has all the yellow so...this shouldn't be close, but I'm darn sure gonna watch! still loving this idea!

[@danzifer]

Had that same Subaru, except green. Was my favorite car. Plenty of room, AWD, 2.5l dual cam 5-speed, party in the front business in the rear. Rebuilt the motor and replaced nearly everything else. Wrapped it around a tree upside down. No seatbelt or airbags, unscathed. They're increasingly rare today, especially without rust or high mileage. Nice rig...

[@bcyr-CO]

My buddy and I race a green ‘95 wagon. We’re putting a high compression (14:1) EJ251 with 22E heads in it because the original EJ22E gave out in September with 300k. It’s gutted with janky fender trimming and it’s a hell of a good time. For the $1 that I bought it for, it’s been the funnest car I’ve owned.

[@turtleturtleshufffleshuffl5588]

HANNAH BANANA IS BACK!!! 😍

[@Chris_Love]

So when are you guys coming back with some of the ordinary materials, what about your drift cars thats been build for awhile and so on?

[@paydroku]

That wagon wants to fly

[@ktrocknerd]

I feel like the paint job kinda resembles the old space shuttle paint jobs. If he put it in second for that first jump it might never have landed.

[@nukacola8026]

Idk if this is a good idea but I'd like to see a full race to finish line and back from the side road they use or just make another aide road u seee in the video some times

[@Alex-lp4mr]

Did the Subie ever leave 2nd gear on the first run?

[@bullriderinwrangler1]

This has got to be the most anticlimactic races you all have ever had. I was expecting so much better. Y'all slippin.

Vitara, nice... Suzuki swift GTI is a common swap in these around here. You'd cry at the amount of these i see rotting in paddocks. They were a real workhorse for some farmers here in Australia. Love a good Suby too, The brumby is another loved car/ute here. Still a lot around. Plenty of Liberty's and Legacy's too. 0
