Well I finally found my 98 4 door Tracker. It has the Calmini 3'' suspension lift, 30" Pro Comp muds. My plans for now are snorkle, locked front, welded rear, 2" BL, aftermarket front bumper w/Warn 9.5 TI, Aftermarket4x4 front skid and tank skid, slidders, which most is temporary as I will do a 4.3 swap with auto tranny and Toy axles. Jim

Get to work and take lots of pics...

We are thinking about a 4 door sport as a DD.......

I have a weird feeling it won't remain stock....... :shaking: :laughing:

I don't know about up there? but down here the sports are a different animal and there isnt much aftermarket stuff that fits those. Frames are different than regular 4 doors. Jim

A welder helps .......http://bb.bc4x4.com/images/smilies/welder.gif


We are looking at a Sport with the 1.8L Engine......:smokin:I don't know about up there? but down here the sports are a different animal and there isnt much aftermarket stuff that fits those. Frames are different than regular 4 doors. Jim

the 1.8s are good motors... i wanted a sport, but the trail slayer kit wasnt offered to fit it.

a buddy of mine had a 98 sport, and it was very nice!

I have a low miles 2L for you with auto...LOL

dont do that to me!

I have the whole rig...LOL

you aint right im sayin!

Cleaned out my closet.

I have the Bobby Long 300M's I should be OK...LOL

I knew you would be smart enought to run them :smokin:

The axles going under this are 85 Toy front: trussed, shaved, All Pro diff cap, FROR knuckle ball gussets, V6 4.88 w/ARB, ARP studs, BL 300M shafts, vented rotors, IFS calipers, SKY widening kit, heat treated and frozen hubs. Rear is 95 thats trussed, All Pro diff cap, V6 4.88 w/spool Front Range Off Road FF kit with alloy axles, ARP studs, treated and frozen hubs, vented rotors, alloy axles. I think thats it?...LOL

I ordered some Mastercraft seats for the Tracker this week. My sweetie is getting them for me for Xmas. I hope they are everything they are supposed to be. They will be worth more than the Tracker itself...LOL

I got my rear shocks today Fox 14" 2.0's. Fronts comin soon. Jim

So you hide your air shocks like your porn under your mattress.......:laughing::laughing::flipoff2:

LOL Im treating them fox's like porn...LOL

:laughing: Zuki4X4chick sounds like a Pirate kind of chick. I'd say welcome to Pirate but I see you started here back in 2004. Guess I just missed seeing your other post. My bad.:eek:

Oh now I see, I replied to your modify oil pan thread in 2 of 2005. Now I remember you. Did you go with IROK's or Trxus MT's?

I like having her in my thread, alot...LOL

Me too, Jim.:D

Well my MasterCraft seats finally arrived, so did my Fox 2.5's. Pics comin, Jim

where da pics man?!?!?!?

HAHA.......

Well, 36" IROKS went with the yota SAS back then......


We do not own the trackers anymore. Sold one to my sister, and stripped my

tracker for parts.

New project is the buggy. It will be a grand vitara buggy(Hood,headlights,grille.....

v6 running gear, auto, kicker2, yota 4.7:1 case, yota axles, locke F/R ........etc----)

....... Wonder if anyone else has done a G.V. buggy yet????? :smokin::smokin:

Oh ya........ I forgot to add that the tire selection is in favour of the TRXUS M/T stickie (37"):laughing:

Sorry to highjack Jim.........hehehe

PICS PLZ!!!!!

Hi jack welcome...LOL Jim

I am getting tired of the 16V so I think its time to start the 4.3 instal. Jim

your the guinea pig this time!!!

i was with the suspension! lol

I'll let ya know how my light weight aluminum Grand Viagra engine works out also.......... :flipoff2:

Well I just happen to have everything I need minus the exhaust piping and mufflers and a tcase. Donate me your engine and I'll swap it in my Tracker...LOL

Nope, the chassis on the buggy is like 90% done.......:bounce2:

I doubt that I wont like it. I loved it in my Zuk and the 4 door should be even better. I have another 4.3 in the machine shop now and I might consider putting her on a diet and getting some aluminum heads? We will see. I want some power and the new 4.3 should be around 250HP that way if I want to sling rocks or mud I can. Ask about my rock throwing...LOL

High Jack.........Jim, since you requested this in a PM ......

:bounce::bounce:

Can you get this for your GV buggy engine?...LOL http://www.wynjammer.com/ALM1115/CPI_Supercharger.html

I don't want to hop it up...... There is a kicker 2 back there :laughing:

IIRC there was a 2.5L with a turbo or something drag racing....:D

Im going to run a D300 for now then either a STAK or an Atlas?

Bah, Domestic parts :flipoff2:

Atlas is bling.........:smokin:

Yea I know I want the 4 speed case bad, I just think the 2 options they offer are RETARDED

Ok, yesterday we managed to pull the motor, tranny,tcase and all related goodies. For anyone interested the 16V weighs 232 lbs. dry no motor mounts, the 4 speed auto and tcase weigh 195 lbs. dry. My 700R4 with converter weighs 175 lbs. I have no weight for the 4.3 yet.

good numbers for weights.

I'll weigh my engine when I get it built and we can compare to the 4.3L. :grinpimp:

I am betting my new drivetrain consisting of an aluminum v8 (pushrod with plastic intake), 700r4, 2 speed atlas will weigh less than my current 2.7L, 4 speed auto, kicker 4, toy case, toy-d300 doubler, to dana 300

so whatcha gonna do with the current setup?

Dayum 3 cases...LOL Id be interested in the ToyD300 doubler

Dayum 3 cases...LOL Id be interested in the ToyD300 doubler

If I cant sell the complete setup I'll let you know.

only 2 cases: 4 speed auto|kicker 4 adapter|toyota low range box|toy-dana 300 adapter|dana 300 t-case.

with the 4 speed its about the same length (+/- 1.5") as my 3 speed/kicker 2 setup before.

[/hijack]

I thought you were running the Kick case to a Toy case to a D300. My mistake.

i know you took more pictures on sunday, where are they at?:D

My cord isnt with my camera...DOH

I have been seperating the wiring harness to clean it up under the hood and all (seperating lights and things from engine). Pulling the dash to get to the wiring behind it is proving to be harder than I thought it would. My plans are to link it out. I have 16 Currie JJ's and tube ends for same, 4 Fox air shocks. I am open to suggestions and any pics someone would have of their link setups that would help in this project. I have never attempted anything like this before and have no idea where to start. Thanks Jim

Well picked up my link material today 2" .250 wall 4130 for my lowers and 1 3/4 .120 wall 4130 for the uppers.

That should be beefy enough.:smokin:

That should be beefy enough.:smokin:

i think it should be:D....if jim changes his mind and wants even more beef i told him it could be sleeved on the inside with some 1.5" DOM:p

for the $$ you have in all that, couldnt you have just bought an atlas??:eek:

I know but, I"ll have better gear options with this setup. The 4 speed atlas gearing sucks. I have heard of issues with the rear disconects? No coin involved, traded parts.

Jim i hope your wife gives you a kick in the @rs ........ Slow poke :flipoff2:

Maybe thats the reason its slow?...:flipoff2: LOL

Uh Oh, I am not sure if this is a good thing or not? I just scored a pair of steerable 2 1/2 ton Rockwells...:D
