I have a 95 suzuki sidekick that i am doing some minor upgrades on for off road etc called by the kids "project zucchini" and one of the things is upgrading to a mud tire.
The tires i have to put on have raised outline white letters on them and we are having a debate on whether they should be mounted out or the black side out.
So what would you do? :dunno:

Only low life road hunters have the white letters out.

Dude I almost lost it when I saw these on your new truck the other day.
I like the blackwalls out. I don't have the guts to roll like you.
If I had an old 70's lifted Chevy truck I might stick the white letters out for the sake of nostalgia.

Blackwell for 4x4 and every day rigs. Show cars, cruzers and sports cars white walls out.:yeah:
I did have white letters out on my 98 chevy 4x4 but the 2007 and 2015 both ended up black out. I have a 68 Camaro black out and 67 chevelle white out.

Rainier, would love to see the pics of your old Chevy's (that's my 68 Chevelle above). Guess I could start a new classic car thread and not hi-jack Buckmarks :rolleyes:

There's no way you're gonna sneak up on a deer with those bright white letters.

What upgrades are you doing to your sidekick/tracker? A couple of our club members have them, and our club president just got done with a mild build to make it the perfect around town/hunting rig. Bumpers mild lift tires winch...Nothing wild at all (although like everything else you can go wild with these rigs, toy axles and other stuff $$$$).
Going to add a spacer lift of 1.5 or 2 inches but want to avoid cv problems so not sure which yet, maybe also a 1inch body lift but i am not a big fan of body lifts, LT235/75r15 tires so a little bigger than stock (205/75r15) but still driveable and easy on drivetrain, rear hitch for a basket and slide in winch, i have to make a front mount to slide in the winch when needed, some lights, maybe a roof rack and some under vehicle skid plates/armor. Might ad a locker but not sure yet, it is a budget build.
it is basically our sidebyside, the kids told me we needed a sidebyside and i told them we already have one that has a heater, wipers and is fully inclosed :chuckle:
I was surprised where with good driving skills i could take this rig stock.

Like i said in the original post, upgrades for off road, so it will be used for off road hunting :chuckle:

No road hunting, jeez you deplorables...My bad, I just re read your post, I missed that you wanted something "less" controversial. Woodchuck and I were trying to stir the pot and give you more controversy. Jackelope just likes to make fun of my jacked up truck. :chuckle:

I don't own one but the sweet spot on those is 2" or less 30" tires good bumpers front and rear to attach winches and pull points. One buddy has developed a frame drop and stretch to gain about 4" of lift and move the axle forward a couple inches keeping all stock gear. It's pretty impressive but not a bolt on project. If your gona keep this as a commuter / side by side I'd go with 2 sets of tires on wheels.What upgrades are you doing to your sidekick/tracker?

If you don't drive fire roads, and worse, the raised white letters may not get scrubbed off and it is mox nix, but if you want the pickup to look like it has never seen a fire road, and you go way back in before piling out for a hike... have them mounted raised white letters in.

My Dakota is white with all the accents blacked out, the white letters out look pretty darn good compared to the black out on this truck.
