Id like to Have a list of mods that have been made to your KICKER, TRACKER.


I currently have a 95 Tracker with only 235/70/15 on my Ride and a 3 inch custom BODY lift. Im planning on shelling out another 850 for calminis 3 inch articulation lift and adding 32" or 33" tires.

Main Probelm I have now is Gas I only have a 10 gallon tank and want to put a larger one in. I currently have a 16 gallon Amigo/Rodeo Tank sitting in my garage from my brothers old vehicle he rolled... he is planning on removing the Fuel Pump and taking it with him when hes done stripping his old ride.

Id also like to IMPLEMENT anything that will increase Articulation. Lift, and Footing. its a sfot op 1600 16 valve Manual. I have Air conditiong as well. Id like to remain in legal limits mostly but .. not too concerned about it. Id like to mod the gear ratio, put limited slip into it.. or lockers not sure. I do go to moab with my current setup but cant compete with the big boys yet on rock Crawling.

I have access to a MIG, ARC, And plasma cutter.. I Have pretty much all the tools between my 3 other brothers. Please let me know any info you have Id appreciate it.

Straight axle the hell out of it!

Id love to but i dont know how any info links? what do i use for a axle .. where do i get it from what kind of car.


if it cant be done over a weekend i cant do it since its my only car at this time

Talk to SkyMfg, he's a member on this sight with a straight axle kit for Sidekicks in the works.

Anyone else have any simple tricks? anything ... im mostly stock right now except the Body lift and tires. Also have 15/8 instead of 15/5 I HAD to put the body lift on so tires would clear

IF YOU WANT SIMPLE BOLT ON THEN TRY CALMINI.

:D

WELCOME NEWBIE:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

calmini doesnt make a bolt on axle for trackers/Kickers

also if anyone can leave pics or great links for trackers

As in bolt on lift. There is nothing for a bolt on axle yet. Put a 3" lift, gear the case, lock the rear, and call it a day.

:flipoff2:

A friend of mine is currently having a solid front axle put under his 89 kick. He is using Toy axles and Wrangler springs. :smokin: Look under Brett Bybee in this web address www.jp008.com

Yeah that is a neat tracker My brother knows hom or talked to him told me about it.. I live in Clearfield Utah so not far from most great resources. Id love to get Rear lockers and a suspension lift.. just need the moolah


Come on guys post your links for your Tracker/Kicker..

All i ever find is the Sammy

I actually bought a Sidekick today, pick it up next week.

Plan is to go with my D44 axles, 35x15x50 tires, F/R coils, bunch of other stuff.

Should be pretty bad-ass when done.

Of course I'll be ditching the crappy Kick power steering :D

Dunno if it was you that hew talked to Jp My brother is Matt smith Drives a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ill add my link if you want to see pics. Im adding mine .. and some of my brothers rolled 98 amigo .. was bad .. Dropped down Farmington Canyon about a week ago. Hes PArting out the Drivetrain and Engine. Im thinking of trying to put his 200 horsepower Coil Over v6 in my tracker.

Coil-over V6! That's a good one!

Nothing wrong with it . Decent engine tranny all the hardware is there. its Really decent. if your interested in anything from a Amigo, Rodeo, Look up the specs on the 98 v6 its 205 horsepower VERY NICE engine. And currently not alot of market for amigo or Isuzu products they are expensive.

He had a 98 AMigo He rolled and Totalled.
He has a new 99 already we swapped all the lift, bumper anyting extra we he didnt want to buy.

In off-road circles, "coilover" refers to one of these:
<img src="http://www.swayaway.com/Images/RR%20Shock.jpg">

well what would be the appropriate reply or meaning for what I mean

Specs are as follows: 91 GEO Tracker, Stock rear axle w/ 4 link suspension and 18" rear coils that are attached to the bottom perches but "float" at the top. Front suspension is stock IFS w/Calmini tube A-arms, rear shocks are Ford Explorer units, fronts are KYB's, rear has a lock-right, while the front is a spool. Twin Toy t-cases bolted to the back of an 86 Toy "turbo" tranny with a 4:31 1st gear mated up to a 1.6 engine via an SOS RingeR adapter all conected together w/ Tom woods double-cardan CV driveshafts, SOS TwinSTIX setup with a crawl ratio of 115-1. Engine has a one off cam from Rob Hawk, dual Jacobs ignitions, port & polished, balanced and blueprinted, headers etc. Tires are 33" Buckshot Mudders on MRT 15x8 beadlocks. 6 point cage, Summit seats, RCI 5 point belts, Auto Meter gauges, Warn M5000 winch Bought the GEO new in 1991..... two days after purchasing I tore the interior out and put it in a box in the attic so if I ever decided to "trade" it in It would be just like new, what an Idiot................... and the rest is history!
P.S. Big claim to fame is that this is 1 of only 3 vehicles to have ever made it up the notorius "Death Spike" (Rated a 6+ trail) @ Paragon Park without using a winch and/or breaking

What im mostly interested in.. What did you NOT purchase that you had to make, Roll cage, or very nice web sites that you noticed for trackers Sidekick... things like that if you can give me some hints small things like that VERY impressive pictures.. Ill add some of mine tonight and tommrow to my web page. I have some of my brothers Jeep in Moab also

I love my car itr handles decent on trails next to my brothers Jeep and My other brothers Amigo. Sad part is I only have a 3 inch body and 235's on it on a scale what do 235 equal to a 30 inch ? 29 inch ? im not sure there.

and if anyone can direct me as how to Add power steering to this ID LOVE IT I hate not having it..

OUCH!!!! The Amigo has seen better days. Marc get ahold of me and I'll take you to see the solid axle kick. Nice start on your trak/kick. I've seen it around.
www.jp008.com :bounce2:

Cool Jp yeah my Brothers Amigo was totalled and he has since bought a 99 and transfered his Calmini Lift and Bumper and Warn winch to the new one. Now we gotta figure out what to do with the Engine and tranny and everything else.

The kit exists, use's 5 leaf wrangler springs f/r. Main reason we used leaf springs is to keep the kick somewhat stable, and to clear the tires, as we used coils at first, and we set them outside the frame, problem was, the tire hit everything, so you move them under the frame, then it becomes a rolling nightmare like the HH coil kit for samurai's.
Were now selling our first kick, and building a new one, with a new suspension design using coils.
Problem with solid axle kicks is the slip yoke t case, which we have adressed on a very custom basis but it can be done.

I think in the next few years we will see a lot of sidekicks out there as samurai's become harder to find, and a lot of products will hit the market, we've got bumpers, nerfs, cage, light mounts, and the 1st gen solid axle kit.

Id like to see updated pics as your making adjustments to the ride
