This is a set of procomp 31-10.5's on my DD Sidekick, more than wide enough.

very nice sidekick....

what does dd stand for though?



and what rims are you running those procomps on? they look very nice and not skinny at all....




so far the only sidekick i found was an automatic 96 black 2 door 16v 1.6 fuel injected everything i wanted sxcept AUTOMATIC...i wish it was manual sooo badly

dd is short for daily driver

wow okay i feel dumb...

The wheels are ProComp 15x8, 3.75"bs steelies.


I searched high and low looking for an automatic, had to settle on a 5spd and I will just have to swap the transmissions around is all. LOL do the same

You "need" a manual transmission or just want one? The automatics, especially the 4 speed overdrive in the 96 and up is a nice find. You would be able to put bigger tires on with a simple gear swap to the gears from a manual and have almost stock like performance.

i saw that one before but it is automatic and i need manual...automatic has too many problems and is just IMO not as nice as manual i have drove manual all my life and have tried automatic but just do not like it i cant stand it!

 I have rebuilt many a auto trans and if proper maintenance is performed(well above factory recommendations though) and trans fluid/filter replaced regularly it will outlast a manual in about 95% of cases. There are alot of issues IMHO with the 5spd, cable clutch, weak synchros and a weak clutch pedal and a lack of available gearing(that doesnt cost an arm and a leg).

The Suzuki Sidekick/Geo Trackers are not speedshifting canyon carvers or street racers, 

i know its not a fast supercharged car but still its decent...right?


i am debating now if a tacoma would be better but idk...i love the look of some sidekicks how they are made but would i be better with a tacoma modding it than with a sidekick? would a 1.6 16v fuel injected be a nice sidekick or would that too be very slow? the thing is with tacoma you can easily put 33's on it without gearing it (another big problem with the sidekicks and odometer reading wrong with 31's) and you have so many options (long travel, supercharge, suspension, fenders, bumpers, bars)


my uncle said he used to have a sidekick back in the day and he said he went everywhere with that thing, offroad, street, and it never let him down...he had 31x11.5 tires on it...anyone know would i be able to just get 31x10.5 and get a bigger rim to make the width bigger on em? he lifted it and did some other things to it...never had a problem with it...i need to get some picures from him of it back in the day to post up...

I have 30X9.5's on mine and it does every thing i want it to.

 You should just get a Samurai many people invest tons of time an money then sell. Check out zuwaharri bbs many nice trucks for sale an for the record carburators are way simpler than fuel injection.

i am probably going for the sidekick but still no luck with finding one...



with 31x10.5, swapping gears? how bad is the effect when i will be running 31x10.5 as i have not found any updates on gears such as 5.625...



so far my upgrades include:

31x10.5 tires
headers
2" body lift
shocks front/rear
bumpers fr/rear
for now i will get the following and then once i get the car then i will see what else i will do to it...


what do most people who race or go for i guess speed do to the 1.6 16v engines? is a supercharge available?

What do you mean you haven't found any updates on gears such as 5.625?  You mean you can't find any?  I have some for sale.....$1000, complete in thirds, ready to bolt in.

if you need gearing help always call on skyhiranger, he has all the sets for sale and ready for you
