Title: A new star is born
Post by: Mikerpm4x4 on April 25, 2007, 10:04:57 PM
 One of our RPM members and ZW member osceola stu is wrapping up his build. Here are some pics and specs to follow.

Its not entirely done. It still needs some additional panels and a lot of black paint to be added to the rockers, frame ect. I couldnt wait to post up the progress.  ;D I will post up some final pics when its done.

Its a 94 4 door sidekick with
* the back cut off
* motor and firewall moved back 10 inches
* 6 inches cut off the bottom of the doors and rockers raised
* 2 door sides and tailgate welded in
* 7.5 hybrid front diff, locker
* overrotated rear axle
* Stans toyota CV conversion
* Stans twin stick
* Calmini 4 to 1
* Stans coil spring spacer lift

I know you were working on this one instead of getting the X-90 going. How much longer do I have to drool waiting to see it mobile? You'll did an awesome job on this Star, now let's see the XXX-90

Very nice!  I can't imagine the amount of work it took to get this project to this point.  What are the details on the 7.5 hybrid front diff?  Pictures?  Thanks!!

Post by: osceola stu on April 30, 2007, 08:59:20 PM
the 7.5 is a rear cut down to a front center section with toyota shafts. Stan built mine, but Mike has made them before. they would know all the details. i'll try to get a picture, but i'll have to get the manufactuers {Stans} permission. you know trade secrets and copy right things. lol

Any updates on this?

Also do the windows still work with 6 inches cut off the bottom of the doors and rockers raised?  I've been wanting to do this on my stocker, so any info on the material for the boat sides (rockers/sliders) are made of would be great! 

Thanks!
