Suzuki Sidekick Sport custom bumper project

  • 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.

    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.

      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.

      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.
