Looks great. I have the same one but in white. What did you put on it for tires? I have 235 bfgs all terrains with a 2"lift but would like something more aggressive like mud terrains or even supper swampers

We just bought one, and I still haven't decided what rubber to put under her. Going to get a 2" lift first. Yours looks great!

is there much difference between the sidekick and the tracker?
is one better than the other?

wheres the winch and bush bumper? Otherwise right on, but I still prefer my Rhino

if this is going to be mainly for off-road and won't be a daily-driver, I very strongly recommend the swampers.
those tires have got me through shit that others would have gotten me stuck.
and they are much cheaper as well.

Ya it's just for hunting , the tires I have on it now I got for 150$ so it's good for now, what swampers do you have?

Gotta make up some brackets for the bush bumper and gotta look into the winch a bit more

the tsl's.
awesome, awesome tires.
some say they aren't great on ice, but I've found the opposite.
they are so soft rubber, they just want to grip everything.
the best is how these babies sling the mud though.

I'm jealous as heck! I've been looking off and on for 2 years now and haven't found one that looks as good as yours for under $3000.

if you were even slightly impressed with the thornbirds, your jaw will drop with the tsl's.
the thornbirds are probably the worst of the intercos.
they are the street-friendly interco.
I run four 34x9x16 on the rear, and two 33x13x16 on the front.
not often is the truck even put into 4wd.

Looks good. I hear that the Sidekicks are a better ride and have more power than the Samurais.

I wouldn't trade you though.

Good Luck with your rig....
