I just picked up a 93 4x4 auto hardtop tracker. My plans are to take the lift out of my wrecked 96 soft top 5 speed and swap the diffs for the 5.12 gears and run some 30x9.5's. I will post some pics if i ever get off work before 7pm.
-
started working on it today. I got the rear lifted with my 4door spring and Zuks spacers. I am looking under the dash now trying to find the nag switch to shut off the check engine light.
-
It's there, trust me. I just found it on one of my Trackers behind that little dash panel under the steering column. That was the only thing activating the light. I knew that's what the problem was when disconnecting the battery wasn't resetting the battery, and I couldn't flash the codes. Once I found the switch and reset it, the CEL shut off. OOOH MAGIC
Glad you're able to put those parts to good use! I'd like to see pics of what's going on. You know where to find me if you need some other parts...
-
I think it was by passed. i un-hooked the batt. and the light has not come back on after starting it.

this is it with 4door springs and 2" spacers in the rear. I may be take the spacers out if i cant safely run 2" spacer up front with 4door springs
-
Wow nice find man. 93 is the last year of the tintops too. Good job on the lift
-
There is 2" more lift in the front now> I think i my go with a 1 or 2" body lift or mode some diff. brakets so i dont blow out my cv's >

If the code never came back after disconnecting the battery, you just cleared the code (whatever it was). It was not the mileage code.
Nice clean looking tin top. Did you invert the strut mounts?
-
i have spacers in the front. I just got my tires mounted and will put them on tomarrow.
-
I can't remember...just how bad was the other one wrecked? Anything still usable?
-
Oh ya, a bunch, i can get in it and it starts right up. 4 wheel drive is 100% . Just the damage to the right side was more then i wanted to put in to it. I want to pull the gears this weekend if i can.

Mine must be incredably rare since it's a 95 tintop! 8)
-
Doh bentparts you got me!! That's right. I believe the tracker tintops were through 95 but the sidekicks cut off the tintops after 93. Thanks for the reminder ;D although bentparts yours IS the ultra super rare turbocharged model :laugh:
-
Thats right buddy and don't you forget it :laugh:
-
Is there any thing i can do with the timing to give me a little more power down low?
-
Only if it isn't running right to begin with. I run mine about 2 degree advanced over stock, but with plugs that were gapped to large I ran it a bit more.
-
do you think bumping up the timing would help with the high NOX i am getting ?
-
So i took the tracker to Fallon,Nv I am out here for the next month training. Today i went for a little drive out on the public land. All i can say is that i am realy surprised how well it did.
-
With good plugs and wires your timing should be set to spec. But some of us have found that a lot of engines like 1-2 degree advancement over stock. On my engine I would see a bit of a dead zone in power between 2-3k and a drop in mileage. Right now I get 25mpg with 23lb's of air in the tires.
-
So i been rideing alot and this thing is awsome
-
I installed my Sky body lift but i cant get in 2w high? what can i do with the shift lever?

Did it come with a shaft extension? I thought that was required. If you have that and it still doesn't fit then I'd think it just needs to be bent a little
-
High NOX is from too fast of a burn, more advance will make
the NOX worse, so go to stock or even 1-2 retarded just for
smog check, then dial in 1-2 advance in your timing for driving

I am going to take this in for a new cat back now that i have my new manifold. I was thinking 2 1/4 with a good muffler that size sounds about standard.
-
2" is what most have gone to, unless you are turbocharged, then
it's what ever will fit, but you need some back pressure to run best,
or you might find you lose power and/or economy

-
2" sounds good to me.

Looks good. Now you need bumpers. :)
-
Got it to pass the sniff check today. only took a new cat even though every thing else needed to be changed to. Is there any other radiator i could put in for more cooling mine needs to be changed out (leaking) and if i could put in a bigger one i will.
-
How are the 2" spacers working with the 4 door coils in the front and rear ?
-
Hey sorry been out on a ship for the past few weeks. I have not put the spring on the fronts yet as the CV's would flex too much. On the back it was realy nice i had alot of travel and didnt ht the bump stops.
-
if your having trouble with the cv's use diff drop brackets, the spacers and four door springs should be just fine.. the only place to get the brackets that I've found is alteregomotorsports.com, being that calmini doesn't sell separate parts... the other thing i really can suggest is new struts up front.. i replaced mine when I did my lift and now it sits an inch high up front. my .02

Stock radiator's should be sufficient, unless you have modified the power department. I was running the 93 radiator with a 2.7L V6, and only had slight cooling issues when just idling. I went to newer Tracker/Vitara radiator, took major modifications to get it in place and it is still too tall for normal hood functions. I DO NOT recommend using one. Others have used T-Bird radiators, again with some modifications.
A good clean stock radiator is probably your best choice.

I ordered some from them about a week ago, i hope to have them soon.
-
got my brackets a few weeks ago have not put them in yet hope to today. Also got the new timing belt in, looking at adding a tranny cooler also.

This is my new screen name i forgot my login and dont have access to yahoo mail on the ship. Plus i like this name better!

I have been at sea for the past few months due to get back to Lemoore in about ten days or so. I had some trail tuff bumpers and rock spiders sent to the house and will bolt them on as soon as I get home.
-
Installed my TT bumpers and 5.12 gears.

Without pics it's jut heresay ;D

Up in the mountins outside of NAS Fallon.

Looks Good! ( I am kinda partial to tintops ) Seems to get around ok too by the looks of the places you've been. Any of them jeepers give you a hard time? I hope you kept up >:D. Mine had the exact same dent in the DS front fender when I got it. Probably the same tree :laugh:
-
I just took the axle out and replaced it with one out of a 95 with bigger drums. It is nice to be able to cut a twenty foot circle again with out the locked diff in the rear.
