Title: My 89 Kick JX official thread
Post by: 89SuzSK4x4 on October 15, 2011, 07:33:30 AM

I am new to the forums and a new owner of a 89 Suzuki Sidekick jx 5spd. Story behind it is my grandfather owned it and painted it John Deere Green, then my dad owned her and he just recently gave it to me, When my dad got it it was missing back seats, soft top, etc So he customized it a bit lol he enclosied the front cab and put a board over back and made a trunk. I am currently redoing it the way he did but he used mainly all wood and it rotted/warped over time. 

Current upgrades: Custom soft top delete, A/C delete, 235 75 15's instead of stock 205's. John Deere green paint job.
Future Mods: New tires, New paint, New grille, new door handles(inside), Rugged Edge Hubs, etc.

Pics below

This first pic is when my dad owned it we were on a fishing trip

Well I wanted to update you all

I just did a oil change, new spark plugs NGK R, a new air filter.


Ok so I did some more work on the custom enclosing the back since I have no top.


Replaced the old wood and plexi glass my dad had there with metal signs, pop riveted them together and installed a $30 dollar sliding window with a screen on it from Home Depot. NOTE: still need to replace trunk cover which is currently a rotting board with something more durable soon.
