the tracker. 85,000 miles, little rust, 2 part hardtop.

Its first mod!

Next on list remove tracker stickers on side...

Thanks to a good friendof mine for x-mas this will also be added once I get a new bumper.

Hmmmm they dont fit yet.... but its funny how u see 31's and even tho there a nice size tire they dont seem that big.... but then you see them next to stock.... I'll get alot of lift just out of the tires... lol

Springs are here, soon to be in.....

So today I decided to head out to the garage, turn on some tunes and get started on my lift..... oh wait I dont have a garage but I am a true minnesota man.... here ya go.....

Stock rear spring next to my lift spring

My well vented garage....

rear lift spring is in~~!!

Stock tires back on you can really see I get alot of lift from the springs

Rear view with stock tires on and rear lift in... NO the highlift is not holding it up~!

I need to fab up a rear A-arm spacer still and buy rear shocks! but thats all for now... I am soaking wet and tired!

Well got the front done today....here is pic of the spring in, along with the strut spacer that u cant see.

Lifted product!

Now I need to get shocks for the rear, upper rear a-arm spacer, and toss on my 31x10.5's and she pretty much done for now.

31x10.5's are on.....

Couple small issues with the tires, first as u can see from the rear picture the axle looks shifted to the left, it is a couple inches due to I dont have the rear A-arm spacer and shocks yet. Back doesnt look like it will rub bad when it flexes, the front will on the front bumper but I will trim that plastic POS. Might need rear of front fender cut about a inch.... unless I body lift it... But I do seem to have the same amount if not more Clearance as my sammy did.... seems bigger to me for some reason....

Well got the new shocks in, and my a-arm spacer. I probally will redo that spacer, just bothers me... I gotta trim the front rear fender alittle, but its driveable as is...

of course I had to get my poser rock out....

oh and yes thats mud on the side of the truck.... you may ask yourself where did he go wheeling.....

WELL IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!

Ok so took off the front bumper today.. going to make a new one....

Took the rear plastic part of the bumper off, will stay this way til I decide what I want to do...

Trimmed the backside of the front fenders, hammered up the lip in there, will still rub when I am turned and flexed... 1-2inch body lift will help....

My friend hooked me up with a scrap metal bumper, from stuff he had laying around... it looks ok, about 75% what I wanted, but for now it will do...
before paint....

After paint...

Got some skid plates today to go on! front and T-case

looking good so far.

need a good suspension lift to fit them on.
3" would do.

You should have brought someone with you to talk you out of that purchase........You probaply could have gotten a better deal elsewhere.

J/K I think you got a smokin deal on "track" and from what I've heard of your plans it will be pretty sweet when your done.

Stick to the plan man Laughing

ah man, I was going to wait til I had pictures... but I know u guys, and if I did that you all would pull out what little hair you have left..

So

I just ordered today a Suspension lift. its not a complete kit, because some of it I can do myself. But here is what I got 3inch lift coil spings, and some strut spacers.

I might after this is all installed at 1.5 inch lift spacers to it for a 4.5 inch suspension lift. and of course then get fron diff lowering brackets. but I kinda want to see how it will sit with 31's and the 3inch suspension..

will be fine at that.

just brace the front diff at the mount on the crossmember.

weak spot

basically if I can get it to be about same ride as far as clearence and height of my samurai, thats good for me.
