Nice looking Sammy.

he is correct the front bumper as well as pretty much everything else is from Trail Tough. in my book it's a really nice bumper for the $$$. when i built this rig i was gonna fab up bumpers and such, but brents stuff flowed togeather real nice.

Thats what I want to do as well now. A 4 door Side Kick Sport. But I was told the kit won't fit! Still If needed I figure it  may be poss. to do a little cutting & adding to the Trail Slayer. Here is a picture of what inspired me to build a X90. But now I want to take the kids along & the X is a two seater. Is that why you want to build a 4door?

We wanted to build  longer a arms to get more travel but the struts are binding now with the Calmini. Did you come up with a mod for that & if so do you mind shairing a few pic's ::)
Title: Re: I'll show U mine if you show me yours! "custom daily drivers"
Post by: ChileKick on December 07, 2007, 12:14:32 PM
I added 3 inches on each side , yo can do more if you want , but yo need to reposition the upper strut mount more to the outside in order to keep alignment correct.
I can take some pictures for you if want.
Remember that CV axles need to be widened too , and steering components also , but it's not that hard to do.
cheers

Post by: ToyYoda on December 07, 2007, 01:04:58 PM
Did you add onto the Calmini kit? We make/install "boxe'd" lower arms on our trucks (pic. of my 1992 Toyota 4X) If you used tubes, can you please take a few shot of them. Thanx

Hi Chilekick,

As many pics and if possible a write up on the mods would be awesome - looks VERY interesting  >:D.

 
Title: Re: I'll show U mine if you show me yours! "custom daily drivers"
Post by: ChileKick on December 07, 2007, 08:08:52 PM
I didn't use tubes , or boxed A-arms , I simply used the original A-arms that come with Suzuki.
Worked on them and added a few inches. It can easily be done by the same method on the calmini A-arms
If you are still interested , I have no problem in doing some write up , and take some pics for you.

cheers

Here's a quick pic I snapped the other day walkin' out to the truck to head to work.  Had some snow flurries falling, but it was too warm for anything to stick.  Just put a new coat of Herculiner on it, so I thought I'd snap a quick shot.  I drive it daily during the winter, but in the summer, I drive my car more often.  It doesn't go very far in the slick stuff...  I'll post a pic of that too, just for shiggles.

94 Track/Kick
3" body lift
2" coil spacers
strut spacers (don't remember...1.5" maybe? LOL)
31x10.50 High-Tec-Retreading OTR Muds
15x8 steel "wagon wheels" LOL

Here's the car.  It's a 92 Nissan 240sx.  Not even gonna attempt a mod list for this one... HAH!

This was my DD until a couple years ago.  When I started doing field work and carrying tools and a computer, I needed something that I could lock up.  The Tracker was pretty much retired to recreational use, but its still pretty much stock.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/jzap/P3060317.jpg)

Last summer we did a matching paint job on the Tracker and the camper. 

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/jzap/P7040807.jpg)

I really don't know what I'm going to do with it other than drive it...

Here is my baby, lil Suzy, she is an 89 Sidekick. She has been a good friend to me for over 16 years now. I bought her from her first owner in 1991, she had 30,000 on the OD. I started modifying her for off road in 1995. She originally had one of the first 2" kits Calmini sold. In fact it did not fit when I got it because someone at Calmini had mistakenly put one prototype axle hanger in my kit so the front axle hung crooked when everything was bolted in.

(http://www.zuwharrie.com/gallery/albums/userpics/16092/IMAGE_00086.jpg)

(http://www.zuwharrie.com/gallery/albums/userpics/16092/IMAGE_00083.jpg)

Calmini 3" kit
OME Struts
Hagen widening
Hagen over-rotation with F150 shocks
2.5" custom body lift, first body lift ever put on a Sidekick
Calmini first generation winch bumper
Ramsey 6,000 Pro winch, wired to dash and remote
Calmini Header
2" straight exhaust with High flow cat and glass pack.
Jacobs Omni Pac coil with 8mm wires
On-board Air, converted AC compressor
Electric cooling fan, converted condenser fan
AC Delco 105 Amp alternator
Optima Battery
5.83 gears
Front EZ locker, samurai 4 pin carrier conversion
rear lockright locker
26 spline front axle conversion
4.24:1 Rockmonster Transfer Case Gears
Gas tank lift
31X12.50 Boggers on 15X8 wheels, soon to be 33" Trexus MT's
Calmini skid plates
Superwinch hubs
Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
Nerf Bars
Snorkel
K&N drop in filter
Factory roof rack
Cobra CB
Recovery gear (to help the jeep guys out)
I'm sure there is more stuff i can't think of right now  ;D

One day soon lil Suzy is going to get a big brother, He will be a 16V 4 door which will get a TrailTough style 4link SAS suspension. And a few other goodies as well  ::)
