I AM NEW TO THE SPORT AND WANT TO KNOW WHERE I COULD GO IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO SEE WHAT ALL THE EXCITEMENT IS ABOUT>  I WANT TO GET A SUZUKI AND MOD IT AND CLIMB ROCKS BUT WANT TO TALK TO PEOPLE BEFORE I INVEST>

WHERE SHOULD I GO TO SEE THE LATEST IN EQUIPMENT AND ROCK CHALLENGES??

where are you located? i live about an hour from pismo, me and my buddies go all the time, people stop and take pictures of some of the jumps and stunts we pull. 6feet

If your into rock crawling, I'd either go for a Samurai (which somes stock with a solid axel) and save up for the Calmini "rockcrawler" gears.

If you were wanting a sidekick I'd wait for the new solid axel kit to come out sometime in the spring. Then throw some lower gears into it once you have the chance. (This option is more expensive)

I think the two main things you need for rockcrawling are...

1) Long suspension travel (flex) :  Which is best achieved with a solid axel in front and back, and a suspension lift of your choice.

2) Gearing:  The lower gearing you get the more control you will have in the rocks.  If your too heavy on the throttle due to a higher gearing ratio, then you will end up breaking stuff.

Thanks guys I am located in San Diego.

Is the solid axle going to be offerred by Calmini.

What do you think of the Calmini products??

Yup Calmini will be offering the full meal deal when the kit is released.  (The solid front axel, the suspension lift, the new CV and SYE drive shafts)

I personally like Calmini because their kits come fully equipped and their product is built tough.

I’ve heard stories about other lift manufacturers that don’t send you everything you need, or they cut corners here and there.

Calmini does it right.  They have done their homework and include everything you need in their kits to lift your truck the proper way.

 I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH MY 6" COMBO LIFT FOR MY 4 DOOR KICK ( COULDN'T WAIT FOR THE 6" SUSP. KIT TO COME OUT BUT HEY THINGS CAN BE CHANGED   ) ...I'M NEW TO LIFTING VEHICLES, ALLTHOUGH I PREVIOUSLY HAD A SAMMY WITH NO MODS THAT ROCKED   ! BUT THE KIT CAME WITH EXC. INSTRUCTIONS AND WENT IN WITH OUT ANY SETBACKS  ... DID ALL THAT WAS PROMISED TO DO..... NOW IF I CAN JUST GET THE ZUKE FUND BUILT BACK UP WITHOUT THE WIFE INVADING IT    I CAN GET SOME NEW TIRES & GEARS    HAPPY ZUKING!  MATTY D.  

I have been building my tracker for about 13 months and it already has 34's on it.  i bought the calmini body lift and it was a bitch to put in.  But my tracker had been rolled before a got it so the body mounts where probley messed up and stuff.  anyway best of luck and BUY A TRACKER, NOT A SAMMY!  LOL  lata stu
