Today, we delve into the thrilling world of Japanese automakers in the off-roading scene. It's a battle between two titans: Subaru and Suzuki. Uncle Gary, our guide through this adrenaline-fueled journey, starts by shedding light on Subaru's humble beginnings with the Subaru Leone in the 1970s. This unassuming car would go on to revolutionize the industry with its all-wheel drive system, a feature that has become synonymous with Subaru's identity today.
But Subaru wasn't the only player in the game. Suzuki, with their LJ10, entered the scene in 1968, unleashing their 4x4 system upon the world. When the LJ10 made its way to America, it transformed into the legendary Samurai, a truck that allowed for complete customization. And speaking of customization, Four Wheel Parts steps in as the go-to source for all your off-road vehicle needs, offering everything from lights to suspension to sound, ensuring that no adventure is left uncharted.
Now, let's get to the main event: the face-off between a Suzuki Samurai and a Subaru Legacy. The Samurai, piloted by the spirited Nic AA, boasts a modified 1.3L engine, Jeep YJ Springs, Fox shocks, King bump stops, and BFGoodrich tires. Inside, it's all business with a sleek switch panel from Bent and PRP seats. On the other side of the ring, we have the Subaru Legacy, transformed into an off-road rally car by the talented Jimmy Crook and the team at Kaiju Motorsports. Under the hood lies a JDM EJ 205 engine, a Twin Scroll Turbo, and HKS blow-off valve, all working together to produce a jaw-dropping 400 horsepower. The Legacy is equipped with coilovers from Raceworks and rocks BFGoodrich tires.
With the stage set, it's time for the ultimate showdown. The race is fierce, the whoops are conquered, and in the end, it is the Subaru Legacy that emerges victorious. Its raw power and impressive performance leave no doubt about its capabilities. But let's not forget the valiant effort put forth by the Suzuki Samurai, proving that size doesn't always determine the outcome. In the end, it's the thrill of the off-road adventure that truly makes us all winners.
