'98 Sidekick in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.  209,000 km.  In the paint shop right now for a makeover.

New windshield, new soft-top, new tires coming this month.

I just have a little purple one. No mods or nothing. Runs great even in ND winter

Sweet.  I love to see the well-cared-for, unmodified ones.

Here is the 98' SideKick i just picked up 2 weeks ago.


I put a new top on her, installed a new set of Warn hubs and started installing the Altered Ego 4.5" suspension lift today. I will finish cleaning and applying Chassis-Saver on the frame after the stock suspension has been fully removed.

Any idea who manufactured the Bull Bar? That looks sweet!

Not sure who makes it, the previous owner had bought it. I seen it advertised somewheres, just cant remember at the moment. IIRC it is called a brushguard w/light mounts. It is constructed just like the cheap nerf bars the parents bought at Cabelas for my Silverado, they are liberal college educated so common sense is null and void.

I just found it at NAPA's site, https://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?A=BK_8171083_0293991006&An=599001+101998+50069+2069004

Thanks for the update!  Much appreciated.

93 Sidekick w/ 94 s10 4.3 vortec CPI
4L60E trans /Dana 300 with custom twin stick
Trail Tough Trail slayer kit with Toyota axles (5.71)
35" BFG mudders

I still need to save up for front and rear bumpers and a winch. This thing will practically do wheelies and will go anywhere you point it.

Here is my work in progress:

31" tires on Tracker lsi wheels
3" Altered ego suspension lift

I took a rusty 95 Tracker with a good motor, and swapped everything into a 90 Sidekick I picked up from Virginia.  Paint by the end of the summer is desperately needed.

Hey y'all.
The name is John, I live in SE WI just north of the IL border.  I have a 95 Kicker 4x4, 1.6L 16v.  I was at a mudding event a month ago and people laughed when I first pulled up, she's completely stock right now.  They weren't laughing after my first pass, I made a total of 20 passes in holes that the guys with big trucks and jeeps with MTs were getting stuck in.
My plan is to go with a Tonka truck theme.  It will be a progressive lift and build as money is tight right now, first thing I have to do is figure out the brake issue that has been eluding me for a full year already.

just got this today,sorry about the pics,its the one on the for sale add

Suzuki Vitara 1.6 8v JLX 4x4
Full Off Road body Armour Plus 3000kg winch, front winch bumper, rear armoured bumper, rock sliders and sump guard.
X5 Mud terain tyres fitted on wellar wheels as new.
2inch suspension lift new shocks and springs.
Roof Rack with cargo net, roof spot lamp bar and spot lamps and rear work lamps.
Radio/CD, CB radio and Ariel.

Going down?  How about an X-90?  My build is a little backwards from the off-roaders here but I'll show it anyways.  It's getting lowered more but here it is now with about ~2" of drop and 215/50-17s on Mazda rims with 5.5 to 4.5 wheel adaptors.

Build plan.
-'07 GV single mode tcase (full-time AWD)
-'07 GV 5-speed
-'02 2.5L v6
-4.30 gears if I can find them
-Wiseco (Focus SVT) pistons
-BMW E36 H-beam rods
-Garret T3/T4 turbo
-AEM FIC piggy on the '02 2.5L ECU

Calculated 0-60 3.38sec.  Calculated 1/4mi 11.6sec  (2700lbs 400 crank HP)

In interesting difference in builds in the last few posts. 

lazzer408 - I sent your engine build specs to a buddy of mine, he loves the idea!

My 89...
