GeoTracker90 04-27-2007, 10:47 AM Very nice! the front bumper looks like it of production ready quality. Can't wait to see more. Keep up the good work.

Kraqa 05-01-2007, 05:59 PM should have some more substantial work completed by this weekend.
zooki guy 05-01-2007, 06:05 PM Why such the slow progress. I thought you would have got way more done on the weekend.:flipoff2:
Kraqa 05-05-2007, 08:03 PM More progres today. the rear suspension, axle, and breaks are done. now i just need to move on to the front.

the pics are all jumbled up. but they shoudl give you a good idea of whats going on.
The sheet metal tabs that hold the brake lines are just like factory ones. upon final install they will be bent and hold the lines in place.
Also i put on 2 more coats of paint after the pics were taken.
95geo 05-07-2007, 11:50 AM the brake lines look cool but i think your going to have a problem getting all of the air out unless you bleed them on a 45* angle.
Kraqa 05-07-2007, 03:40 PM the brake lines look cool but i think your going to have a problem getting all of the air out unless you bleed them on a 45* angle.
care to explain how 90% of all other vehicles are capable of doing it?
Vermin 05-07-2007, 04:49 PM I think he's refering to your high spots in the the hardline where you bent it to follow the contour of the axle brace. I wouldn't sweat it - don't think it'll be an issue at all.
Kraqa 05-07-2007, 08:42 PM dude i'm not worried about it at all.
i've dont lines in a similar fation beofre woth zero problems. I just wanted to know why he thought this woudl be a problem.
95geo 05-08-2007, 08:10 AM care to explain how 90% of all other vehicles are capable of doing it?
yup, high spots.
if you cant get a firm pedal, i would go there first... $.02
Good looking build. For some reason my PC will not allow me to veiw the first page of this build???? Can someone copy the pics to this page so I can veiw?
I'm a long time toyota guy thats lurking around sammie/sidekick/tracker stuff for a future build. Thanks in advance
-Josh
lil_mike 05-08-2007, 05:50 PM as long as the bleeders are at the highest point .. and they are ..no probs.looks good kris.......
Kraqa 05-08-2007, 06:43 PM we can end the string of brake line comments now if you guys want. it will work fine. i dont' need every second person stating their opinion.
THanks for the props mike. I can't wait to see what yours looks liek when its done. we gotta hit the trails in the zuks this summer!!!
EHeye 05-09-2007, 10:07 AM I dont know if the brakes will bleed as well... It just doesnt make sense, why would someone go through all that trouble to have no brakes in the rear!! :shaking:
:flipoff2:
I wuv you.
zooki guy 05-09-2007, 07:06 PM :flipoff2:
I wuv you.
fag. Are you sure those lines will let all the air out?:flipoff2: how do you know:flipoff2:
Looking good so far kracker
Zucchini 05-17-2007, 12:50 PM Looks Great!
FFRubicon 05-17-2007, 12:54 PM Never thought I'd say it about a tracker, but it's looking good!
Kraqa 05-27-2007, 03:33 PM updates:

wheelnrock 05-28-2007, 04:59 AM Make sure you fill those steering stops to keep them from crushing.If they crush,it will not be good for your birfields!
Hvy_Chevy 05-28-2007, 06:24 AM thought Longfields could turn sharper than the knuckle can...
build is looking great!
EHeye 05-28-2007, 10:00 AM it looks like poo. Shoulda sand blasted it. :flipoff2:
She's gonna love it, gonna have it done by the weekend so we can let the girls go and play trucks? :grinpimp:
Crab Bait 05-28-2007, 12:16 PM I remember doing the same extensive welding and great BLACK paint job...just to swap it out for a 44 later :D
zooki guy 05-29-2007, 07:57 PM yup looks like crap. to shiny:flipoff2:
Bobzooki 05-31-2007, 10:42 AM My Gawd! The axles will weigh more than the vehicle!!!
Looking good! :beer:

SWEET!
Now get us some pictures please. I wanna see it done.
GeoTracker90 08-23-2007, 11:12 PM Pictures? Realy like this build.
Kraqa 08-24-2007, 07:45 PM ok so here they are.
The rear shocks are getting changed tonight. cause wel they were thrown on quickly to get Kelsey Rolling. I still need to do exhaust but with this 4 link i should have no problem outting the stock muffler back on.
THen rock sliders, rear bumper and fender protection. Oh and i will be putting in a cross support spanning the top of the shock towers over the motor, this will be removable as you well know.

Turned out pretty good. Have you flexed it yet? How'd it do? How does it do on the road?
ShaunO 08-27-2007, 11:58 AM Looks great! Any idea of what your materials cost you?
red_zook 08-28-2007, 09:46 PM dam that thing looks the goods:mr-t:
lovin how neet it is..
hows the flex?
EHeye 08-29-2007, 09:38 AM talk about hack.
:flipoff2:
Turned out really good Kraq. Now go get some real tires, maybe ones that dont leak. :grinpimp:
It flexed really good when we tested it out, and it drove really well, little under powered, but it drove nice. :smokin:
