Well. I had every intention of running a 32" tire on the tracker, but I ran across a great deal on a set of 31's.. I've never heard of them before; Federal Couragia M/T. They are a rougher tread than I had intended to use, but I like the look of them, and they are actually not very loud at all.

And just for reference, this is what I started with on May 31, 2007

Let me know what you guys think. The only reason I've moved along so quickly is because of all the members here at ZUKIWORLD! ;D

The tires look cool.
In general, brand new mud terrains are pretty quiet, but as they get more worn, they can get louder.
-
Nice, what kinda lift you have on that thing??
-
Looks good and I like the agressive tread! Looks like you're awfully tight on space at the back of the front wheelwell and front of the back though.
-
Nice! I also run 31x10.5's and I love them...

yea, you'll wanna trim the front fenders, and the rear will probably lose the stock fender (and may also need a trim too boot).
flex it out *before* you hit trails, or else you might end up chewing those nice shoes.

It's running a 2" spacer lift from Jeff, along with a strut mount flip and Crown Vic shocks. I trimmed the inside of the front fender and beat back the firewall seam. That's it. I love the aggresive tread, and on the ROAD I have absolutely no rubbing at all. I did some mild little jeep trails today (really just logging roads through the backwoods), and still only rubbed a VERY small bit one time. Tomorrow I'm gonna hit the trail behind the house and flex it out and try some obstacles to get a full stuff in each fenderwell because I know I need some trimming before I hit any trails too hard. Thanx for the input guys! :)
-
Who cares what brand they are , they look awesome!! I like them better than my 31" Super Swampers. Where did you get them? What a BIG difference the lift and tires make on these things. When I see a stock Track/Kick I cannot believe I used to drive that thing! These little things are just awesome and with a little work look great too.
-
I'd like to know where you got those tires from as well, look great and if they're easy on the wallet I'd be into a pair.
-
WOW. Looks really good.
Makes me want to start all over agian.
Or just take off the Flames.
It's in the back of my mind some days

Wow. Thanx for all the positive input guys, makes me feel like I may be on the right track here. The only thing I know about the tires is that I had never heard of them before, Federal Couragia M/T. I got them from our local tire and allignement shop in my SMALL hometown, Edmonton, Kentucky, so I don't know about the availability everywhere else. If these things wear pretty well, I'll probably continue to use them after this set wears out.
Jeff- No kidding about the lift and tires going a long way on these trackers. I parked beside a bone stock Tracker in town the other day, and WOW. They looked like 2 totally different vehicles.
Hey HotRod, don't lose the flames. Your rig is amazing. Do you know what I would give for a winch, set of bumpers, Calmini Lift, and 32's? Plus, the flames are what make it a HotRod!! ;D

Thanks, Seeing yours just reminds me of where I started B-4 I saw Erics Rig.
Then the EvilSeed got planted and B-4 I knew it, I was Knee Deep in Debt with a HotRod
I haven't had the pleasure of useing, lately..
Hopefully, It'll get it's Butt back out there. ;D
BTW: there are no Haters here.
Just the Luv of being a Zukiholic ;D
-
That looks great! I've been waiting to install my 2" body lift before mounting my 31's, but now that I see yours fit, I think I might put them on before the body lift ;) Did you only trim onside the fender, or was there any on the outside fender?
-

That's crazy talk! Stay away from the back of your mind!
Bandit02, you are not far from me in Bowling Green!

Yup, only the inside of the fender. I haven't touched the outside of it at all. After I do some serious wheeling I think I may need to trim them up a little bit, like during full stuff situations that I have to have my wheels turned. But for just mild trails and driving everyday, I don't have any issues..
Hey LilRed- That's good to know. I've never seen another modded tracker or sidekick around. I work in BG. I work for Coca Cola and deliver in BG with one of those big ugly trucks you see all the time lol, so I'm there every day of the week!
-
That looks good. It really doesn't take a lot to make these little trucks look mean ;D
-
Hey Bandit it looks great. What size wheels and how much back spacing?
-

they are 15x8 w/ 4" BS. I wanna buy a set with 3.00 or 3.25 BS, but these were free, so they will work just fine for a while. ;D

I also live quite close to you in BG. I live in White House TN. That truck looks AWESOME!!! Who did you get the coil spacers from?? I am about to begin modifing the Tracker I just got from my sister.....

The coil spacers are from jeff1997 on this board. They are Amazing in quality and finish. I'm extremely happy I went with him instead of one of the Brands... He is also great to comunicate with. I changed my mind mid transaction, and caused him some troubles with shipping, and he couldn't care less, he just seemed happy to be helping out another guy with a trackick. I recomend his product to anyone who needs spacers. Just contact him here on the boards. ;D
he is also on ebay:

Thanks! Found them. How much and where did you get the tires from? I am in the Edmonton area pretty often and would consider a ride up there to get some.

I go them at Bob's Auto Supply, here in Edmonton. They are almost always the cheapest place to buy tires anywhere near here. I'm pretty sure the tires are $105.oo a piece, mounted and balanced. Although, I didn't pay that much, went to high school with the tire guy ;D . If you do decide to come up this way to get a set, just stop anywhere in Edmonton and ask where Bobs Auto is, it's a VERY small town, something like 3 or 4 miles long, so it's not gonna be hard to find Bob's ;) . Tell em Kojo sent ya.

Decent lookin Track/Kick's... Decent lookin tires too...
They are made in Australia by Federal Tyre...

Hey Kentucky guys, my wife and I just went to Pennyrile state park for the weekend. How far is that from you guys? The state of KY is just gorgeous. So much better than IL.

That's NNW of Hopkinsville, right? It's about an hour from me and a good two hours from Bandit.

Cool, we will probably go again sometime. Is there any place to go wheeling around you or in southern IL that you know of ?
