Ok guys he is the plan for my Modified Stock Rig.
This is for Werock and RRock.

Tracker

Custom 3 link Front
Custom 3 Link rear
Front axle D44 60" wide or Toy front - Locker
Rear axle Stock Tracker or toy rear - welded
Transfer case gears
Roll cage
Front and Rear bumpers
Sliders
Skid Plate
35" tires would like 12.50"
May have to upgrade steering to hydro assist.
4 point harness
Suspension seats

I think the hardest part is going to be getting the 35's to fit with very little lift and not changing the WB more than 3"
Let me know if there are some other things I am not thinking of.
Thanks, Jake

thats a 98" wheelbase and 37s

if you can only change the wheelbase 3" i would choose another rig. i dont see a 91.5" wheelbase doing too well on those courses.

I'm running 37s with the wheelbase extended 1.5 inch in the fri=ont only. Trimming was required, evidently.

You can fit 35's with no lift if you push the front forward all 3 inches and do tons of cutting and hammering. I fit 33's on the front of a bone stock sidekick this way, only reason we didnt do 35's was if we banged the firewall back any more the clutch wouldnt dissengage anymore. So if you pushed the front axle forward a few inches it coule be done. We are talking about LOTS of cutting here. with some lift it would be a lot easier but still take a bunch of hacking. I do think you are still looking at an awfully short wheelbase here. We hacked up the kick just for fun but it is getting yota axles on airshocks and full hydro soon.

I agree on the wb thing. But I think with keeping it low I can drive it and and hang on. Alot of the courses at rockport are rock garden style stuff so I think I would have a better advantage there. If it doesn't work there is always more tube and a higher class.
Thanks, Keep the ideas and comments coming.

Start with a 4-door Sidekick/Tracker, then you'll have the wheelbase you need: 97.6"

Yeah I had thought about teh 4dr but then the break over would be killer with keeping it low. There is not much room to modify alot with the rules. I thought alot about a toy pick-up and a jeep but I really want to be different. It sucks because the rules are realy set around jeep vehicles too....

What are my options on t-case gears? Is there just the one?

I have a 9" for the back and I am going to try and get a scout 44 for the front too. Still working on donations and we are going to try to set-up with muchado productions to record the whole build and bring it to you live here on pirate.

Still planning, jake

I'll email you... but that weekend we talked about (mid OCT.) I've got XRRA to shoot. If we can reschedule it that'd be cool, I need to get you a list of available dates. I'd love to do something like this.

Yeah I'll get in touch with you and see what dates are good for you. we are going to be doing the build at Expert Offroad so it also has to work with greg's schedule. The end of sept is really busy with a week in clayton and down to hot springs. Then the club picnic the first weekend of october. Things are really progressing at this point however. Trail tough set us up with some t-case gears and we got a set of seats and harnesses plus our links and roll cage tubing donated by expert offroad. Still need tires and I would really like to get one of the Rc9000 warn winches oh yeah we still need a tracker too..... :D
