From there we added some simple custom build bumpers to bring the whole look together.

I've got plenty more photos if you're interested.

 

...... that's not a SXS. heavier, with less power, less suspension travel, and smaller tires :shaking:

not trying to bash, but come on. there is no way that would hang with a completely stock teryx in the hills

 

Maybe if the effort that went into the pointless dash work was put into something, ANYTHING that improved off-road performance I’d feel better about this but I just don’t get it.

How is this better than a stock tracker?

 

Ha yeah of course its not a SXS. Its a Geo Tracker. The original idea was to improve the suspension but ultimately there would not be enough return for the investment to increase travel for that IFS.

It really is just an improved stock Geo Tracker at heart. The beauty of the custom cage and dash is to give the driver a better feel behind the wheel. That stock dash is just pathetic.

 

There are a large number of suspension kits available for the front of a Tracker that increase wheel travel. Old Man Emu struts have significantly more travel than the stock struts and don't require any other supporting mods.

Adding lockers, starting with an automatic tracker, and choosing a tyre size appropriate for the weight and size of the vehicle would have been priorities.

Have you considered rear occupant safety into your cage design? I wouldn't feel safe sitting in the rear of that car at all - too much tube my head can collide with.

 

Definitely something to consider though no way would I put an auto in. That takes all the fun out of a small engine.

The cage is actually completely out of the way. We tucked it up and out as far as we possibly could.

 

I also like the idea of having a 4 seasons rig. My Sidekick was originally purchased just for a Bach toy. It has grown into all around off road toy. I also prefer driving it in the road, more than my new truck. The new vehicles get used for family road trips and the wife's DD.

It may not have the performance of a SXS, but I would prefer it for most of my off road driving.

Do you have any pics of the roll cage or bumper builds?

I know I have more photos somewhere of the actual build but here's some more of the cage after powder coating.

 

The work looks clean and I like the dash. To many people build the cage last, Or never

 

Removing the dashboard makes the rollcage install so much cleaner. I drive mine on the road. After being hit by a drunk driver, I want airbags.

A cage would be great, but it would mostly be just for the sake of building a cage. I don't hard core wheel or race. I am also in 4dr hardtop.

LOVE it, hopefully my next project.

 

Fail. Theres another tracker SxS thread in here with some actual performance mods

 

Are you missing a wheel stud on the left front? How are the UTV tires wearing on the road?

 

These have been on the ground under a tracker for over 4 years now. no they aren't DOT and no I don't care. Yes I drive it on pavement, ALOT! With a spool in the rear and a locker up front. Same tires on their second tracker. The pics of the white one were taken about 2 weeks ago.

 

I like it, Saw this for sale in my local area, kinda a cool
rig, seems it just needs someone to take the suspension further.

 

where are the bumpers from
