1989 Suzuki Sidekick 8v efi, 5spd
In Centennial, CO 80122
I've been messing with this machine for the better part of the last 3 years. It is my entry into a cheap truck challenge amongst my friends. I acquired it in barter for some labor.
It ran and drove great. The body was so bad that I had zero shame in cutting away anything unnecessary. I replaced bearings and seals in the front and rear differentials and the steering knuckles just for good measure. I then made the following changes:
-hagen mod
-stub axle/flange mod, allows use of same cv on both sides.
-extended lca's to fit grand vitara cv's, skid plated
-Grand Prix struts
-4door coils rear, Ranger coils front.
-front diff drop brackets...blue
-welded front and rear, 5.13
-1 inch wheel spacers in the rear
-Walker Evans 2.0 8 inch travel in the rear
- boatsides that aren't skinned....
-surface rust for character
-excessive rectangle tube back half
-rear mount Honda aluminum radiator with e fans and Hayes controller
- e bay 5 points
-Honda VTR1000f chrome muffler for horsepowers
- 4-31x10.50r15 on 15x8 to remove said horsepowers
-general vibe of tetanus and disdain, but performs frustratingly well.
- new clutch and cable
I think $2000 sounds fair.... but I have been wrong before.
I have the title, but the PO signed it incorrectly. It is registered with parks!...
Trailer status only
Top 2 pictures are 31s, lower 3 are 235s
I also have 5-235/75r15 in great shape and an auto trans w/ tcase from a 98', need the case to mod for deep gears, 89 case won't support deep gears.
I would do $2500 with extra tires and gearboxes.
I also have a 2002 Tracker 4door, 2.5 v6 auto that has a bind in the front axle somewhere, hub I think. It is in great shape otherwise with 130ish on the odo. Just passed emissions then the bind appeared. I intended to motor swap it and keep the rest for spares. I would include for another $500, $800 separate. I have a good open title on this one.
Here's a link to my YouTube, there's a little history of this machine on there and some running footage.
