Post by: dingus on February 15, 2009, 04:40:25 AM

Hopeing someone with and 96 or 97 LSI Tracker has one of them Calmini Bush bumpers.

I looked at alot of pics but cant find one anywhere  ???

Thing is there front Bumper is a little diffrent where it wraps around the front Corners.
Head light surounds look like they come down lower to!
Also like to see the Calmini Back Bumper the one that comes around the back corners.

Im worried if i buy one when i take off my Bumpers im gona have big ugly Gaps.  :-\

Which bumper do you mean? They have a double tube bumper, and the winch plate bumper.

There are a few articles that have pictures that may help...

I don't know if those are the same bumpers you are looking for. It's a 1989 Sidekick.
Might try contacting Calmini and asking them. I don't know if that helps at all. ???

Hi No none of them pics are of LSI models,
 and the 1997 has a Diffrent grill and headlight surounds that hang down lower.

I just dont want to spend $700 on a Bumper that will have huge gaps all along its to Edges.

I looked thur 41 Pages of Picks here and can only find one pic but the Tracker is all at a crazy Angle.
It has the gaps im worried about.
The older trackers or non LSI models just are Strait all the way accross the bottom of the grill  lights and fenders ect.

The Sidekicks have a slightly different grill then the Trackers.   They have an extra spacer that wraps around under the headlight, giving the bottom of the grill straight line.  The Trackers have a slilish V sort of setup instead.

You might be able to slide the bumper up so the gap is gone, but the easiest path would be to replace the grill with a Suzuki one.

ZOR's bumpers are way better, and only $250. Myron's a cool guy too - I have his prototype version of the sidekick bumper. It's cold-rolled & welded. Good stuff:

1) Your profile isn't filled out, so I don't know where "up here" is.
2) I can't imagine there'd be a significant change in shipping cost between SoCal & Arizona.
3) Calmini $600 - ZOR's $250 = $350 in savings. I guess if the shipping is $350 more, it would make sense to go with Calmini  ???

Im up in B.C Canada.
The bumper is nice not sure its got everything going for it Calmini does tho no Up right sections.

Your right tho Shgipping would be the Same. I can add them Up right sections myself.
I will give them guys a call and see what they Say!
I like the Hitch part they can add to it.

I also have the Calmini Rear Bumper, will look for more pictures tonight. If you need a more specific shot of something, like brackets or edges, let me know. I'll do my best.

Now, mind you, I have a Calmini 3" body lift and my rig is a 1998 Chevrolet Tracker.

Thanks Guys thats a good shot! or Shots  :)

The gap is not that bad at the front fender corner.
That has the same Headlights surounds as my LSI they do hang down lower.
But the Calmini bumper does look great on the rig.

More pics of theback bumper would be great?

If it's got the Buick Series II 3.8L, it could be a GREAT addition to a Zook. Those little V6 are sweeeet.
