Suzuki Sidekick Sport custom bumper project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 янв 2016
- I built this bumper for my 1996 Suzuki Sidekick Sport. The sport submodel was only produced from 1996-1998. It was designed to fit a v6 engine that never made it through the US's safety and emissions programs. As part of that design, the frame rails were spaced further apart than a normal Sidekick. So, even though the sport looks similar to other sidekicks and trackers, certain aftermarket accessories (including bumpers) don't fit. The factory bumper was in rough shape, so I decided to pull it off and make my own.
I ended up with a custom plate bumper that looks good, and adds all sorts of functionality to the sidekick. It is equipped with a Warn M8000 winch, Viair 400c air compressor with approximately 2 gallons of air storage, and twin LED light bars for added light.

I don't even own this vehicle, but I'm watching it for your DIY/fabrication skills! Nice work!!
Thanks for sharing this project! You've helped inspired me to make my own bumper for my 91 Trooper!
Very nice bumper. I just bought an 03 Tracker as a toad for my motor home. No real plans for upgrades other than wheels and tires this fall, but I do enjoy seeing what other people do.
that is a super nice and functional bumper!!!!!! excellent job
Love it. You did a super job and I like how you made innovative built ins to the bumper.
Best plate bumper I’ve seen yet...!!! Looks great and functional... and the best part, you did it yourself !! This is the first of your videos I’ve watched and now I’m subscribing... I’m going to build one for my 2001 4runner, thanks for posting, this is inspiring.
amazing bumper, amazing integration, amazing video!!! just over all.. good job, man.
I built one of those in my dreams. Nice job! Would look great on my 04' Chevy Tracker!
Very cool design and functionality!
What a sweet build man , Thumbs up !!
That's an awesome idea to use the bumper as an air tank !!!
Nice work, I seriously dig this. When I find the right tracker/sidekick I'm definitely fabricating the bumpers
Very nice Job!!!! Congratulations

That is a one of a kind thing of beauty. 👍
That bull bar is better quality then ARB.
top job!
I would seriously pay for one that nice.
Wow! Genius.
nice setup! id have the lights a bit more recessed or protected, but still great design
really great
This is Awesome! You should be an engineer for SpaceX!
I need the measurements of that Bull bar, could you tell me? Thank you.
beautiful bumper.......are you worried at all about water sitting in those air tanks? I didn't see a drain
Thinking of building something similar for my Colorado. Was it real hard to wire in and mount the air compressor? Thats my biggest concern.
What lower control arms are you running?
nice!
How did you wire that light switch up to work with and without your high beams? I’m very interested in doing this as well
Did you use a DPDT switch to make your lights work with two power sources as well as light the LED properly? I have mine wired this way but had to unhook the LED because it stayed lit all the time.
@4:16 Wow😲 the tow hook switched places....
wery NICE.
excellent job !!!. Great. I suppose you haven't got any drawings ?
what is your tire size 31 ? lift and body lift ? it really looks good
Hi, Are you using after market independent front suspension? What brand is that? Is that as strong as solid suspension? Thank you, Regards from Indonesia.
nice!!! Beautifully done!!!! What gauge metal did you use? Thinking about building one!!!
The Other Guy most of the bumper body is 3/16 flat plate, the winch Mount and mounting brackets are 1/4"
sewerzuk any particular type of metal?
Fixing to start a bumper for my 2000 tracker glad you made this video it will help alot. what was the approximate weight of the bumper minus the wench? if you dont mind me askin. anyhow good looking bumper and nicely done. Have a great day.
great!!!
Really well thought out. I am curious about the long term durability of the air reservoirs with vibration, pulling forces, and compressor condensation, but still, really nice!
I have built a few bumpers with air reservoirs before. I've never run into problems with leakage or corrosion...but have never cut them apart to check either.
thanks and no worries. Btw...you did an awesome job on that bumper that suzi is one lucky one to be yours. Any ideas for the rear?
thanks! I'm kicking around some ideas for the rear...will be sure to do a video when I build it.
@@MattVerley HI MATE I LIKE YOUR BUILT. CAN YOU BUILD AND SELL TO US ?
That is definitely amazing job. Where did you get those switches? I want something like that for my geo tracker.
You can buy them here: www.otrattw.net/home.php
Do you have any template?? I want to make it one to my vita94...
Matt, do you have plans for this bumper you can share?
have you done a rear /swing spare tire gate
Cary Kane not for my Sidekick, but I'm mulling that exact project around
Are there only 4 bolts holding the bumper to the frame?
Like the looks and it is just a matter of time before I do something similar as the front and back bumpers just do not look 4x4ish.
6 bolts; 4 on the side brackets and one on the top of each frame rail. I’ve done several full power pulls with the M8000 and there is zero movement. It’s plenty strong.
@@MattVerley Thank you , I have not ventured as far as removing the front bumper to see what lies beneath.
Hello my friend absolutely great bumper I would be interested in purchasing one... how do I contact you for further information I have a 91 Suzuki Sidekick JX
what size tires do you run on your sidekick ?
They're metric; but measure out about 32x11.5
what kind of lift do you have on it?
WHAT WHEELS & size are they?!?!
Muy bueno. l like
Nice work!
Can you give us the design plan with dimensions? Please!
👍👍👍
HOW MUCH FOR YOU TO BUILD ONE FOR MY 2000 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA?
John Leonard sorry...I don't build bumpers to sell. too much time into them for me to make any money.
that shit is dope.... do you build for sale or just for fun?
Hi there, can you please send me the measurements
What thickness metal was used for the bumper ?
3/16" for most of the bumper, 1/4" for the winch mount plate
Guess u did mention it right at the very beginning just caught that.
Thats fairly thick stuff then hey. I would have thought maybe 1/16 thick, that must be heavy and bullet proof then lol. I guess if your doing some winching with it must need it fairly sturdy then.
@@MattVerley bom dia irmão como está nos estamos bem graças adeus
Would like to see one of these kits for a Mitsubishi Mightymax.
sewerzuk, are you on suzuki samurai owners 2.0 on FB?
