Here's my 1995 Sidekick JX 4 Door back in 2000, when I bought it from a friends Mom to replace my dying Dodge...



I quickly realized that I really enjoyed this little rig, and after a few trips offroading with some friends and they're Jeeps, I saw how great this rig would go....

I then added some 29" used TSL's....What a difference! 



Then put a 2" Jeep TJ coil spacer lift on it:



Last year, I added a 3" body lift, and some 31" TSL LTBs, a rear locker, some longer shocks and some exaust/engine upgrades:

 
 
 
Two weeks ago, I finally added a Calmini 3" suspension lift with the intent to eventually add some 34" LTBs to my rig.   

 
 


The one thing you quickly realize is these projects are never "complete"....No matter what you do, or how far you've come, there are always things you either need to do, or more often, want to do....   

But, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Who's 450R?

the 450 R on my car domain page is mine, i freaking love it. I just remembered that it looks a bit different now, I should post some new pics of it on car domain...


Cool! I've been racing ATV's professionaly for the last 17 years. Last year I raced an 05 450R in The Best In The Desert series and I tested the 06 450R in a 12 hour race last november. The 06 is a major improvement over the 04 and 05.

nice, mine's an 05 that's pretty much stock other than my gear reduction sprocket. I am very novice, it's the first 4 wheeler I have ever owned. I have ridden utility 4 wheelers and my old 3 wheeler a bunch and not really any sport quads till I rode my friend's 450 R before getting mine. I read up on the improvements on the 06 and was a bit upset cause I had just got the 05 but it was twards when the 06's were being introduced so we got a better deal on it....

for a beginner like me it's much more than enough. It's a beast

Hey Echojeff,

Yeah, I actually kept the 2" spacers on the truck, so it has both the 2" TJ spacers, and the Calmini 3" kit on it.   

You can find those TJ spacers on Ebay from time to time....They're not terribly expensive.  If you do decide to get them, you'll need to use a hole saw and bore the center of the spacer out to 2 1/4".   There are some companies that make spacers that are already predrilled to fit over the zuk bumpstops.

Do you have a picture of your CV angles with all that lift??  It seems that that would be very extreme..

Have you considered removing the body lift??  I think it looks much better in the middle picture to be honest.. the last picture it is just too high for my taste.. whaddya mean you didn't build it for me!!!  lol  JK...
