Well hello yall

Post by Johnny5 »

Hey guys found my way from the old site. See there’s more goin on here, right on :popcorn:
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.

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

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 :homer:

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.
