Try downshifting Down shifting will help but the reason it helps is because the Samurai is a low power engine. Brand new from the factory my '86 1.3 liter is 66 horsepower.

That is less that some motorcycles and maybe even a few Golf carts... Ha! Seriously is is a lot of metal powered by a small engine so the weight to Horsepower ratio is low.
