The Best Trail near Anchorage, Alaska | Driving Up to a Massive Glacier in a 1987 Suzuki Samurai

[@bryanwahlstrom6300]

This is without doubt one of the coolest, best produced Suzuki offroad videos in history. So hyped for you and can't wait for more of these... congrats brother, truly epic

[@TruckHouseLife]

Cheers man!

[@jimg7784]

Thanks Timmy, being from Texas I was a bit snow machined out, but hey, I get it, different strokes. Ready for some four wheeling. I have a 1978 CJ5 but always liked the looks of the Samurai’s. They kinda look like a mini FJ40, which I also love.

[@jarredvelier3490]

I love the fact that you are a driving instructor as your job.

[@susanadams-wauro6716]

Wow...such fun! Love the music u played when you guys were driving across Jim Creek...great tune!!

[@goldensilverfox]

Check your door sticker. Sammy only wants 25psi on the road & Will be way smoother & less bouncy with it. Thanks for another fun video.

[@jessebellis478]

Zukis for life! Bad ass zuki buggy rig !! Best off road rig in the world ! I've got a a white 1988 suzuki samurai with a white fiberglass hard top

[@laurastewart2418]

Thanks for friendly smiles and inspiration during challenging times😁

[@srqsup]

That’s my back yard! We love fat tire biking and XC skiing out to the Knik Glacier. A truly incredible place.

[@marcusadams1927]

Oh Clint and his love for Mayo. I’m so glad that was hinted in the video. Valley local here! 😂

[@erindunebuggy9772]

Hey Tim, looks like everybody's out and about this weekend. Am up on the Smith River again way up on top in my CRV RD 1 overland setup. More snow on the way! Love this Nomad life.....🌎🌞😎

[@2Morethings]

I have an 86 samurai soft top and love the size I can go anywhere in it. Yours looks super nice; I'm going to Raptor Bed Liner mine yellow and black inside and out its key lime now

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks man!

[@michaeldomanski9352]

never had one of the Suzuki Samurai but i did have a Suzuki Sidekick just like the white one that your buddy is driving and i LOVED IT!!....I couldn't get the damn thing stuck anywhere and/or it just wouldn't DIE.....great vehicle!

[@jonathanandtalley4391]

Awesome I can see Timmy got a smile on his face taken his toy out for some great time. From fairbanks Ak

[@bartpowers9972]

[@ofgodandman7337]

Made that run in my Sami (87) many times! Working down in the lower 48 so it was great to watch your video. Bought another Sami down here in Georgia (88.5) hoping to bring it home with me...soon...

Great video as always Tim, was good to see a Tracker out there. I worked at the factory here in Canada that built those little tanks, they are a blast! Keep up the great content, and as always, Cheers from CANADA.

[@axelportillo7558]

I've heard they were sold under the GMC brand up there.

[@hatchbacktaco9964]

Love your videos brotha. Keep up the good work. Also your intro music is so dope, I’ll catch myself humming that tune throughout the day all the time

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thanks mane!

[@Ohnoohnoohno]

love the day adventures that you share

[@MattParris-ey9yg]

If you still don’t have washer, sprayers a good cheap fix is one of those 20 ounce plastic water bottles with a squirt top. Just roll down your window squirt water at your windshield with the wipers on.

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesomeness personified. 👌 And the music...👍😎🇨🇦🌲🔥💜🦅

[@sierrasandsunsets5499]

Another awesome video! I bring ziplock bags to pack snow or river water in for my back, when off roading, strap it to you with an ace bandage or ratchet strap 😂

Amazing trip.

Now thats a nice trail. One heck of a video dude

[@derekpaterson603]

Thanks for the rip. Cool spot !

[@daveneil3963]

I think Samurais would be fun to build and drive, they are so light and small. I had a Land Cruiser with 33s and a 283 Chevy but no lockers, lots of fun. Then an 85 Toyota pick up with 33s and a TRD rear diff., lots of fun to, did put 488s in it and was about 10% under stock, lots of fun too! Now all I do is remember the good old days and go along with you, thanks.

[@TruckHouseLife]

They're super fun, get yourself one;)

[@martinheatingcoolingmartin4693]

I really appreciate these Suzuki videos also! As I used to have two samurai’s. But neither of them were that jacked up or that nice, one of them was white It had a little lift and a little bit bigger tires and it was fun off-road. Until I swamped it in the pond behind my house , So I had to use My Ford Ranger to pull it out, but I had to use a come along Because I got the Ford Ranger stuck also. But the come along snapped and hit me in the knee that turned out to be a very bad day/summer. But eventually got the samuri out and eventually got the water out of the cylinders, and she fired backed up like a champ!

[@sevenfifty1688]

I didn’t know the samu till you buy one, such a sweet car, uncommon in Europe ! That was a Nice video Timmy ✌🏼

[@rmontena4583]

you can get the Jimny in the EU, right? Unfortunately not in the USofA :(

[@saxman7131]

My sister had a Suzuki Samurai. That thing could go anywhere.

[@jimg7784]

Got a like.. loved it. Love that you work a job and still do KZbin RESPECT.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Not easy but yup takes a lot of time!

[@kellyheath6293]

Great job putting together this video. Really enjoyed it. Thanks

[@DB1Journeys]

Just picked up a 1988 Sammy. My second one. I had one brand new in 1986. This 1988 has the big tires, already lifted, looks great, great shape, but drives like hell on the road.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Right on!

[@Beana10]

Great video. Loved seeing my son join you on the ride. He brought us to Jim Creek last year, cool place. Btw, Raisin Canes is the bomb.

[@TruckHouseLife]

We had a good time!

[@lesabre1972]

That was great man I would love to see that again hell ya.

[@jimschulte351]

This was totally freakin awesome. Got me all fired up for the day. We are preparing for a 1 month trip from Eastern PA. to Yellowstone, Moab and Grand Canyon. Can't wait. Thanks for the inspiration! You rock!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Nice man! Enjoy the road trip!

[@equestrianalways6132]

Well that made my back hurt just watching you lol. Beadlock rims and 6psi will make it a softer ride on coil springs . I just travel slow in my zuk ,my back is fubar too

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup my back is still out from that ride lol.

[@summitdave8782]

Ohh wow. My home town area. Been there a lot. Fun times

[@AloneIsntLonely]

Awesome adventures Timmy!! I love it!! I watch your videos everyday as much as i can and they have helped me soooo much with my anxiety. I feel so relaxed and happy watching your content, itching for more. The scenery alone is just so beautiful. I really want to come up and viaot when you get your newest project built for sure! Can i go ahead and book!?! 😊

[@JohnVanHare]

Man, you’re always taking it to adventure level, I am impressed! Saw your link on a KZbin post, didn’t even know you had merch, got a couple hoodies for the wife and I to help support your endeavors. We used to do some crazy stuff when we were younger. I followed her over a dam once on a kayak just to make sure she was alright. 😆

[@TruckHouseLife]

Right on, cheers man! oh, and watch out for those dams;)

[@vangilanteryan713]

That was badass!

[@WACONimages]

Great Samurai! Love that dash! Use to have a Suzuki LJ80 with soft top + soft top doors too

[@TruckHouseLife]

Cool:)

[@davep4610]

Great video !

[@loganwinger9223]

Looks like a blast. That Sammi is about as clean as you can find them. But you really should cut and cover those bolts in your headline before you perforate your skull on them.

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@Lorelly5]

Very awesome-

[@bigblue1287]

TIMMY GOOD MORNING TO YA from the North east!!

[@lmalesci]

Hello, warm greetings from the province of Pontassieve in Florence, Italy. I am the respected owner of a Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 with a m13a 1.3 LT petrol engine, petrol, completely original, year 2001. It is indeed completely original, which I often drive on country roads and forest roads, and with the appropriate mud tires it will also do me good. The Suzuki Jimmy 4x4, although completely original, I see it is in its natural habitat when I approach rural farm roads and forest roads that are used by logging companies to transport wood in logging trucks.

[@rvoverland01]

Awesome on the trail rig if I had my jeep Here in Happy Valley Alaska I would consider on staying here I can now see how you love this place my every day view I wake up to is the ring of fire. And 1.8 th of mile away from the Happy valley falls

[@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures]

Exactly where is the trailhead you went in on? Is that the one past the normal Jim creek park parking lot or somehow off the old Glenn? Wish I been able to make that run with you. Last time I was there the ice on the lake at the glacier was a lot bigger. I parked on one of them! Anyway I’ll catch up with you out there eventually.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Not sure what it's called?

[@IsopropylRecordings]

Just found your channel with this video. Nice chilled video. Would have loved to watch many more hours of Samurai adventures. just sas you sold it, oh well.

[@blankczechz]

Oh man having owned an 87 soft top in iowa, the Samurai is an excellent vehicle. Except for the heater, which was woefully inadequate for the entire vehicle. Glad he had a half cab. Put a tracker engine in mine and it made a world of difference.

[@MyAlaska12]

It was cool seeing your version and Admins version of this trip

[@TruckHouseLife]

Yup it was fun rallying with ole Clint haha!

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Of course, Enjoyed as always

[@richardvalitalo3670]

Yanking with a winch cable will break the winch ! I use a 30 foot braided rope that stretches. Fun trip!

[@TruckHouseLife]

It was bound stuck/pinched wrap so he was trying to jerk it loose lol.

[@samuraiszn]

You guys know how to have a good time! We should link up sometime soon and do some wheelin'

[@Sholti]

I've watched your videos a few times over the past year. I especially like Your Samurai content. Thought I'd comment after seeing this video. It'd be cool to wheel with you (and Kevin) my Samurai isn't white (LOL) but mostly street legal. I hope to have it on the road again this winter. Thanks for the content!

[@TruckHouseLife]

sold mine early this year, didn't want to but had to do some stuff to the truck

[@pierreleblanc5361]

Really like this video. You did pretty good driving and filming or drone filming at the same time.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@southernrockiesselfreliance]

Man, as another fellow Texan, I do enough wheeling for myself I absolutely DIG the snowmobiling and it’s a definite goal for me to get in that game.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Do it!

[@notoriouslyfunky4706]

I am absolutely loving this video, incredible stuff thank you for sharing, but one huge detail about the story when you were 16, was the bus driver driving a bus or a personal vehicle? feel like the difference would be you alive right now but I thought I'd ask lol.

[@TruckHouseLife]

driving a school bus

Great video!! I lived in AK in the 90s and wheeler that trail a lot. I have an aluminum dash kinda like yours on my built Grand Cherokee and the reflection was so bad on the windshield I had to paint it flat black. Dig the Sammi

Nice!

[@jiminalaska]

Went there on our 4 wheelers last week, quite a trip, I bet your back was killed , its a rough trail and your suspension is probably not soft. Almost lost a 4 wheeler crossing Jim Creek

[@rickreese5794]

GR8 tunes too…

[@TruckHouseLife]

Nice! Yup my back was out lol.

[@amerkel08]

I didn't see you add breathers to your Sami. If you did good, if not you should change diff/trans/tcase fluid after all this water. Sami's are notorious for sucking water with stock breathers. I used to get milkshake outta mine everytime I did stuff like this before putting on breathers.

There’s been a lot of vehicles and utv’s swamped in Jim’s creek. I don’t like riding out there the silt is bad on breaks and bearing 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yup I drowned a Honda Rancher in there back in 2007, had to pull the plugs and shoot water out of the engine lol.

[@monpotecreux2411]

Were you able to traverse from the Knik to Girdwood? I've looked at that on a map and it seems possible. Like a bigger E traverse. Either way, awesome that you tried.
