Hey guys found my way from the old site. See there’s more goin on here, right on
I won’t post pictures of my rig cause it’s not impressive nor run at the moment haha but also recently bought a tracker so I can get out and bring the family.

An impressive rig isn't really a requirement to post pictures of it.

And ya the tracker is gonna just be a simpler build. Prob weld the rear and upgrade the front to have Manuel hubs so I can weld the front and choose weather to lock one side or both.
Only gonna put 31s on it because it’s got thick drinking straws for cvs hahaha

Yeah, the IFS in those things isn't the most robust.

But I was also told I’d be breaking cvs in my Toyota as well Rollin on 36 13.5 wide but I have a secret... it’s an automatic 22re with the worse transfer case ever made that sucks the power down to a impossible to break parts amount

I thought I read somewhere that all four doors are v6 but mine is the 4 banger so shouldn’t hurt much haha. Does have a 4.88 gear ratio tho. Deeper than my Toyota haha

Mine is a four door with a four cylinder and a Manuel trans it’s a blast on gravel roads
You can swap the whole front diff in from a first gen tracker that gives you locking hubs and 5.13 gears

Ya I gotta get some stuff done to it then take her out. I’m sure that 4 cylinder is gonna feel like gobs of power compared to the Toyota. If I need more I’ll find some gears. Is just a family rig, try to leave the serious stuff for the toy.
Heard snow racer wanted to do a stock tire run up baldy at some point haha figured that be good test for it lol and a chance to make it even smaller

I had a 2.0L 4 door tracker like that with 235/75r15 muds on it. Was a nice rig. Little stiff on flex, think if I had one again I’d step up to a 2” lift, 30” tires and try popping the sway bars off and see if it flexes a bit better. Had decent power on the 29’s and up north by Hudson’s Hope we had 3 10% grades so you noticed a lack of power.
