If Sidekick's (Vitara's, whatever) came out of the factory with a SFA everyone would be wheeling them. Even in IFS they were still pretty capable I always liked them and being a Jimny driver always lusted after the engine. Cool video thanks dude!
Zukis for life ! The best off road rigs in the world !!!! Nuthing compares to the old school zuks ! They are always showing up all the outher off road rigs out there lol . I've had nuthing but zukis buggy rigs ! My whole life hahaha
I'm a Canadian who moved to Australia 5 months ago, in a week or two I'm picking up a SJ51T Ute, a SJ70 Targa top Sierra 1.3 and a '93 Vitara SWB. All need some love, but I'm getting them for around $4k AUD which is like less than $2800 USD. Amazing 3-for.
I've had both, but only did up the Samurai for offroad. 31's, SPUA lift, bumpers, 4.9 t-case. Stock for stock, the Sami is smaller and more nimble. But the Tracker is good too with more power and a surprisingly flexy coil suspension. Tracker downside stock is the wide and low rocker panels. But your Suzukis are both nice- especially that Sidekick!
Not sure my comment posted. I just noticed your shackles and realized that I have the same ones in my watchlist on ebay! ... then I realized you're the one that made them! 😂 I just got a Sammy and I think one of my shackles is bent. I'd love to support the shop when I get a bit more funds... a little sore after buying the actual vehicle. Would love to exchange info and send you a pic or two and ask a little advice. I'm sure you'll manage to sell me something 😁 Cheers man, Trev
I really like the SAS on the Sidekick, but Here's a question: This may be just a matter of opinion, but if you do a SAS on a Tracker, it still a Tracker or is it now just some modified off-road buggy? I have a CJ5 drive train that I am considering adapting to one of my Trackers and I plan to remove all badging and significantly change the appearance of the body. Does that violate Brand Loyalty? Am I improving a Tracker or creating a Frankenstein... should I just save myself a lot of work and headaches and buy a Toyota or Jeep.
It’s a sidekick. Why would you change the appearance I think they look tough built. I like building this rig an samurais because they are light an easy to work on. Jeeps are heavy. Toyotas are heavy too. But I’d build a Toyota over a jeep.
@@DrZFabrication Loved the two Suzukis, l had a factory lwb 413 Samurai a few years ago that was also heavily modified with front and rear difflocks, heavy duty axle shafts, heavy duty clutch, 2" suspension lift, power steering and 6.5 to 1 low range, l had to go up to 30" tires as the low range conversion also lowered high range and top speed on the highway was about 55mph! lt was a lot better offroad than my Defender Td5 90 until l put front and rear lockers on that and an Ashcroft underdrive. An interesting video would be a comparison of your two Suzukis showing the difference going down a long steep hill using only engine breaking in low 1st.
@@DrZFabrication I’m looking into this lift and have a few questions like the drive shafts and stuff could you possibly make a video about most asked questions about a sas kit?? OOVE the rig man!
Not fair comparing approach and departure angle when the tracker doesn't have bumpers. Leaf springs are definitely a disadvantage if you are looking for a better approach angle.
I thought that I was subscribed but it turns out I was not. That seems to be happening a lot lately. Is it possible for a creator to unsubscribe you from their channel for making smart remarks? Who is the Sidekick driver? Is she single?

@@DrZFabrication Not really what I was asking....but thank you for replying, very kind of you.
Sick setups
That,'s the best! Congratulatios!
Compares a SAS Sidekick on 35's instead of an IFS sidekick/Tracker.......
I just Subscribed.
Like what your doing. I’ll look back through your old vids. Do you send parts to Australia?
I did once. It’s super expensive
How do you like those treps? I’m thinking of getting a set. Are they decent in mud?
I like them. Haven’t done much mud. But i don’t see why they wouldn’t work good.
Would love to wheel the 4door with “lil kick”
Definitely have too

What gears did you go with for your axles and what years are they?
Samurai axles are stock gearing. Sidekick has 5:71
