How did I get one then?

Mike

You must of stolen yours from a cool kid
Zig

I recomend 96 through 98 2 door. I like the open air top, short wheel base, 16 valve power, and as far as the airbag... well I still havent been able to make it go off. Im thinking if you hit something hard enough to make the air bag go off then you will probabally be glad its there. As for family and gear... well we drive it all over the country with the whole family(4 of us) and luggage. Im 6'4" my wife 5'6" and 2 kids 6 and a 9 year old. We arnt tight on space yet but mabey someday. :-/ Everybodys got their opinion, thats why they make so many different kinds of the same rig. What we like may not be what you like. Good luck!  

NO KIDDING AIR BAGS STILL INTACT WITH ALL THE AB-USE YOU GIVE YOUR TRACKER...I'M IMPRESSED ...BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK THE FUSE OR SOMETHING  

I don't have to worry about air bags, I have to worry about whether or not the thing will run! lol

Goddamn.......man........that is a trip.  in your rig?  Not to be funny but is your AC factory or 2/40?  
Wow......this I gotta see.........co workers tracker is jam packed with hunting stuff, 105 lb yellow lab, chest waders, 4 or more shotguns, beer, ammo, food for us and the ****** dog.  PLus decoys and game bags.
Once we came back we had to strap the birds to the roof as they were within reach of his rather powerful jaws.  That's why I got the 4 door so I could fold the seats flat, get the dog cage in there, lay the guns down instead of having them poke us in the ass, plus chest waders.  Its still tight, but more livable that way.  And I got better AC than he does so during dove season, we can sweat it big time in the field but cool off in my hamster.

Wow............all the way to FL and back in your 2 door.  And I though I had a monster trip from PA down there in my 4 door.  You got big ones mike, big ones.

The A/C is still stock. The trip seems shorter I think because you can pull the top off and it feels more like a scenic drive.

Ok, when you hoof it to the sunshine state, are you still redline all the time?

How is the ride?  I mean with all your mods, isn't it like riding a pogo sitck?  

Tell me more, this is really fascinating.  I've taken trips to cooks forest in a 2 door as a passenger and by the time I got there, I thought I lost a filling or something.

Redline... ALL THE TIME!

Hows the ride? Plush... Very plush. I have just the right mods to make the Calmini 3 inch ride perfect. Its certainly much smoother than stock. Anybody who has rode with me I sure would certainly agree.  I know Eric has driven it... I think Zig rode in it. The only downside I have is I get a little more bodyroll than I would like. Ive learned to drive it that way so it seems normal but get a new passenger in there and they always think Im gonna roll it doing nothing!

Mike

Mike, you truly are the King of these machines!

For years I did not give enough credit to the fact that the trackick made worthy candidate for serious mods.

(my apologies to those who own them!)

Last year at Moab , I went flying into slick rock camp ground, lock up my brakes , because to my surprise there is a 9 inch under a black tracker!!

Then you describe the million other cool mods you've done!

The next day I am made a believer, as I am amazed by it's wheeling abilities. (Mostly amazed that it held together, with your ever so gentle driving still!!)

I promised my wife, my freak zuk was my last truck build.  Sorry honey,,,, I'm build'n a trackick next!!

My wife says "you've done enough to the Suzuki"
I just say "for now" Never make a promise you
know you just can't keep  

THATS WHATS NICE WHEN I START ADDING GEARS ,LOCKERS, HEADER, ETC. YOU KNOW THE STUFF YOU CANT SEE..SHE'LL NEVER KNOW THE DIFFERANCE UNLESS I BRING IT UP...THATS ONE OF THE REASONS I DID THE COMBO LIFT 1ST...CANT HIDE THAT    I WAS GONNA DO THE HEADER EX.COMBO & DUAL CF CLUTCH ,AND BODY LIFT TO START ..BUT FIGURED I COULD HIDE THOSE MODS. IF I HAD TOO (YOU KNOW WHEN SHE THINKS I'VE ALLREADY SPENT TO MUCH) AS I DID THEM  

Gotta get a wife that works on her own Suzuki.





Heather

I'VE BEEN TELLING HER ITS TIME TO GIVE UP THE ASTRO AWD  8 HAULER ...AND GET AN XL7    NO LUCK YET...SHE SAYS THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN IT WHEN WE GO ON VACATION  

The astro is all wheel drive...LIFT it lol that would be quite the sight.

More stupid questions:
What's a 'spool' and why do you need one?
With WAY bigger tires, don't you need to mod the gear box as well?
It never ends! :-)
Thanks guys, still learning', C

NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID  .....A SPOOL LOCKS UP THE REAR SO BOTH TIRES SPIN SAME SPEED ALL THE TIME...WHICH CAN BE A PROBLEM FOR PAVEMENT DRIVING, ESPECIALLY CORNERING...SOME LIKE IT SOME DON'T  SOME HAVE BROKEN A REAR AXEL & SOME HAVEN'T ......YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE RING & PINION GEARS IN THE 3RD MEMBERS FOR BETTER POWER RATIO'S...........
