Suzuki Steve's '97 4-door Sidekick Build (the real build thread)

[SAMI]

Got any fat buddies? Just go for a day of wheeling with 3 of your heaviest buds. Problem solved, thems coils'll settle up quick.

Well after Ive read every page of this build for the past Hour and all I can say is wow! It looks great and can't wait to see it on the trail..... SOON! But I personally think an Exo would look killer on it!

There's no good option for the b-pillar on these. I haven't seen an exo that I like yet, and it's not going to be hardcore enough to need an exo (meaning I"ll be picking the easy lines).

 

[Max Power]

Looks great. What is your front driveline angle looking like?

 

[SAMI]

^ You've missed a lot.

 

[Max Power]

Caught up.

 

[sixstringsteve]

front driveline angle hasn't been determined yet. I'd rather have a hi-pinion, but I'll be fine with what I've got. Once I add my undertaker the front ds angle will be better.

Highly doubtful!

 

[sixstringsteve]

haha, no. This rig will not be going anywyere the blue yota went. I'm going to take it easy.

I shouldn't say the "easy" lines, but I'll be taking the lines where body damage/rollover is not a concern. If I wanted a super capable rig I would have build another yota, or bought my old blue one back.

Isnt body damage/rollover always a concern? On the highway to the trail? Slippery unexpected muddy section of off-camber trail?:greg:

 

[sixstringsteve]

Ok, I cancelled my order with 4wp. They were taking forever on shipping me my wheels, so now I'm back on the lookout. I think I'll go with some steel chevy rally wheels.

i kid, i kid

 

[Chevycrew]

Your going to cry now if it rolls first time out.

 

[sixstringsteve]

yes, I definitely would. No question about that.

 

[1TonTom]

I didn't mean to stir anything up about the cage steve I flopped my XJ out at 5 mile this year and that is on my list for sure!

 

[sixstringsteve]

nah, you're fine. You didn't stir anything at all. If I could find a way to do a sleek exo, I'd do it. Thanks for the comments man, we're cool.

 

[BCGPER]

[sixstringsteve]

Yup, those are exactly what I'm looking for. I think they have a 3.75" backspacing. PM sent.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I found me some nice chevy rally wheels. Brandon will be cutting the centers out to fit over my toy hubs, then I'll probably get my tires mounted tomorrow.
