yea um.... from what ive been hearing the stock front end on a tracker well ... um ... SUCKS.... ..... so i was tryen to get some ideas on what would beef it up a little ....

                                        -mo

Replace it  with a steel one from a Grand Vitara or get an Anvil from Calmini.

the steel one form the grand vitara will bolt right up?

the steel one form the grand vitara will bolt right up? also any ideas for stronger cv's and drive shaft in the front

i have never heard of a prob with the drive shaft.

Note:  With the Anvil you need the calimini 3" suspention.

Hang on, what are you doing with it? What mods have you done to your ride already? Why I ask is you may be jumping the gun and soending alot of money on something that could be better spent some where else. For stock top moderate built rids there is nothing wrong with the stock front end. Once you lift, gear, lock, etc... Then you will start having problems.

Also what kind of riding are you doing?

Shit, I didn't regear anything or lock either diffs and I broke a couple of housings That's the main reason for me to go SAS.. so I can have a drivetrain I can give a beating that won't break (hopefully).

Yea, but look at the tires you are running with a HEAVY foot in the mud I beat the hell out of mine and NEVER broke a housing, only lots and lots of half shafts If they are running 30's, unlocked, stock gears and riding medium to mild trails, they will probably never break a CV much less a housing.

im installing about 3.5 suspnsiton lift upfront .... and 3.75 in the rear .... i was planning to put some 31's or 32's on ..... i mostley do mud and trail stuff not a whole lot of rock ....

I'd break it first before I spent the extra $$$.  You'd be suprised at the differance it makes between driving style and terrain.

Yea, that was my point. Some people have no problems with the front diffs, and others distroying them everytime they hit the trail. I went Anvil to get rid of the passenger side half shaft that I broke almost everytine I tried a hard obsticle. But that was with 33's, gears, lockers, and alot of gas in 2nd gear

There are options to fix it better if you do havce problems with it though.

i haven't had any problems with the front housing, even though its alloy, and i seem to break my left hand side half shaft before anything else goes, and i'm still not running any lockers.

currently i sorta see it as: if i cant get past it or over it unlocked, then any other attemp at the obstacle will result in me breaking something.

i only give it curry when i'm on the flats or in the mud etc etc, but when its dry and i'm climbing, i'm a little more gentle, even though i'm only running 31"s. CV angle also plays a big part.
