Hello ladies and gentle men! I have some exciting news! I took the sidekick out on some hills today, nothin with rocks or anything (dont want to break it) this damn thing can climb some steep grades. I had a S10 blazer when I was younger and this zuki can do much better it seems.
What kind of off road capability can I expect from this guy? no lift, 235 75 15 tires and 4x4.
What size tires can I max out on no lift?
Has anyone ever been to "The Cliffs" in Marsailles Illinois? Whats it about?

a stock samurai can do alot. Mu samurai has lcokers front and rear, 31 inch tires and a 4 to 1 t-case, but on a hill with no rocks my buddys samurai did better. and the side kicks have more power yet. I figured out that with open diffs theres more power goin to rach tire that is spinning aswell as having smaller tires it does have some advantages over a vehicle with alot of mods.

I took my stock 88 up a hill climb, well acculty i drove down it and didnt realize it was so steep and mudd. Took me a couple of tries but it finally made it out, just had to find the right line i guess.
But it deffinatly sucks having open diffs

That is why a lot of people recommend lockers first. You can do amazing things with just a pair of lockers installed... :)
When I first took my Tracker out on the trails I was surprised by two things. One, I couldn't just roll over most rock piles however I felt like. The lack of about 5" in tires and a spool probably had something to do with that. :P The second was that the 1.6L Fuel Injected behaved completely differently then the little 970cc. It made me want to get a Tracker, leave it low and just trash it. :P
