This Suzuki started its life in Georgia which is where my Uncle bought it. He purchased it in 92 and owned it until just a year and a half ago when I asked if I could have it to turn into a off-road/overland vehicle.

He had it sitting in his yard for 4 years unused and luckily before he parked it he rebuild the engine

Had to do a lot of things to get it road worthy at first. Obviously all the tune up aspects. The transmission had a strange sound and unfortunately it gave up on my while I was starting a day trip to a nearby park. So I had to get the trans rebuilt.

First thing I did to it was throw on a bumper form Low range off-road.

A few weeks after the bumper I got a 2in spacer lift from low range. 29" dynapro all terrains and new some white steel wheels

And this was the most recent upgrade. Installed some KC hilites so far so good have had them for about a month so can't say much about them

My dad and I took the trip myself in the sidekick and he had his 1997 BMW gs

We rented a air Bnb near terlingua ranch
The place was called "Tin valley" and I highly recommend it if you visit Big Bend
 
Small rigs are (in my mind) alot cooler then big overland rigs, not everyone needs a fullsize rig.

Please keep the updated coming. [emoji106][emoji106]

Very cool seeing the mini rigs! Very cool its amazing how capable they can be with lack of weight and size!
