MY NEW SIDEKICK!
« on: November 26, 2010, 07:52:20 AM »
So I was looking to replace my old rusted out 94 green tonka (geo tracker) and found an amazing replacement...its a 95 sidekick 2 door fully loaded with power everything and not a spot of rust since he had it rust proofed by krown! i now believe in rust proofing vehicles after seeing this one! I paid a whole $1100 for it which is good since it's near impossible to find one thats not rusted through around toronto...this also allows me to keep my upgrades and just switch them over! pics to follow
finally get power steering!

Ok so here's some pics...sorry for the bad angles and qualtiy its a small garage...came with a huge bumper brush bar and aluminum rims...so far i've gutted it of the carpet and mats to prep for bed liner,switched the rear lights for all reds, fixed the 2 cv joints, taken the brush guard off and changed the brakes and fluids...more pics to come as I plan on rolling bed liner as stated and putting jeffs 2 inch coil spacer lift with my bigger tires on that are on my other zuk...the only rust ive found is a small hole near the rear seat bracket and from the engine bay to the drivers side foot area...
It wont let me post pics can someone do it for me? thanks

Great find! 95 is the best year, imho, because of the mpfi 16v with obd1 electronics. Much simpler to maintain ( and modify!) Finding one in such good shape, damn, you must have done something right somehere, sometime. It's kharma.
So, keep trying with those photos. What camera and software are you using?

Yes, the 95 2-door is a great platform!

That is a truely great find.....Congrats! In Ohio it is next to impossible to find them that nice. With all the salting and snow we get each winter. You are surely to find some serious rust somewhere on them at that age. Another huge issue we have is there is absolutely nothing in the junk yards for Zuks, trackers, isuzu's, and toyo's. Every now and again you will find one for sale on craigslist. But, if you don't jump on it right away, it will be gone quick. Again, great find!
