Well, there is no pic because it's scattered all over the property, but mine is a little different.  8)
It's a std Sammy drive train & chassis that I'm fitting a flat fender jeep CJ3a, fiberglass body to.  Plan to paint it up as a WWII army jeep w/graphics.  Pics when it's a little further along.  Currently rebuilding all the drivetrain components and moving the engine mounts back |removethispart|@ 6" and shortening driveshaft etc.  This should weigh well under 1800#  2 people can easily pick up the body & walk around with it.

Just so you don't forget what a stocker looks like, here is my '96 Tracker.  That's my wife driving...

The only real modification are some bigger tires (Dunlop AT 225x75x15)

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/jzap/P7100167.jpg)

We also had some custom body work done a while back, Body by Bambi, so we gave it a '92 Tracker hood (pink on the bottom) and an '89 Kick grill (cut down to fit the opening)

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/jzap/P3060317.jpg)

We have wheeled basically stock at five Zukimelts so far, and had a great time.  This year, we did a refurbish on the camper, stripping off the old peeling and faded woodgrain trim, and giving the Tracker and the camper matching paint.

I saw somewhere that if you measure from the inner rim to the edge that is your backspacing.  If you can I would appreciate it

It began on a cold day in March,2005.

It arrived from a bad part of town populated with incompetent car mechanics and sleasy "Buy Here/Pay Here" used car dealers.

(http://www.ackerdackerly.com/samurai/93kicknmrsmiley.JPG)

Dollied to her new home by a 1973 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 710M (Ex-Swiss Army) aka SJ-425 SE.

Then the fun began.

(http://www.ackerdackerly.com/sidekick/kicknoradiator.JPG)

Here is why I was able to pay $500.00 for an otherwise loaded JLX with a near-perfect body, interior and drivetrain:

(http://www.ackerdackerly.com/sidekick/kickwallowedkey.JPG)

Then I sold the Pinz.

(http://ackerdackerly.com/pinzgauer/DSC00329.JPG)

Bye-bye... :'(

One thing led to another and I ended up pulling the engine and replacing the Crankshaft

(http://ackerdackerly.com/93sidekick/93kickG16akevin.JPG)

and then I replaced the Exhaust manifold...

(http://ackerdackerly.com/93sidekick/crackedmanifold.JPG)

and an A/C compressor with a broken mount...

and rebuilt the CV shafts...

replaced the auto-locking hubs with manual Samurai hubs...

and repainted the wheels...

(http://ackerdackerly.com/93sidekick/wheels.JPG)

...then discovered one wheel was bent...

...fought the timing battle, got it running, bought new tires, got an alignment

and here is the finished product:

(http://ackerdackerly.com/93sidekick/kick080905.JPG)

At last, something to cushy to drive that has a radio and rides nice. 

Someday, eventually, it will evolve...

That's what us USAans got when we went to the dealership to pick up a new one...

I've heard tell that broken cast iron manifolds were common on the early 1.6 engines.  Around 1994, they changed from what is pictured to an even beefier cast iron unit, which is what I bought on eBay.  Me and the muffler shop were able to "adapt" it to the rest of the exhaust system with a matching downpipe (Thanks Hawk's!), a new cat and a length of pipe.

The older manifold (pictured above) had a two-pipe downpipe that reduced to a single pipe where it attached to the cat.

So here she is..
How did you paint the inside(brush or spray)? I'm worried to get overspray on my interior...
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: White95 on October 01, 2005, 03:23:13 PM
I did it the wrong way actually... we started by rolling on paint from Home hardware on the entire truck, outside and inside... some parts weren't drying and some were peeling...so I stripped the entire outside of the truck to white again...Lesson learned and then paid someone to spray the outside with automotive paint/hardener... the interior is still the rolled on from the first try.... it's dry now and it works... so to answer your question ..it was brushed and rolled on rust paint... and when done it's going to have roll on gravel guard on the floor panels as well

I had one before the Tracker, it was loaded with 32's and a rear locker. I sold it for $300, looking back, I shouldn't have sold it, I would have tried to put the axles under the tracker  ;)

I looked at the Trooper also before I bought
the Suzuki, I didn't like the power, and they
only had a 4 cylinder then, that and the wife
can't take pushing the clutch on here knee.

The salesman was a shyster too, he actually told
me the dealership pays MSRP for the vehicle, and
when I said you don't pay that he said ohh ya we
do, trying to justify a $3500 dealer added markup

Actually the red Kick does NOT use any spacers. Just 3" lift springs and hardware. It has awesome flex. It was climbing rutted hills with the 4x4 trucks the other day.

The spacers I showed you Chai were the ones I added to my green Trackers 3" lift so now I have 4.5" and my 31s look too small. The spacers fit awesome. Conform perfect to the spring and the mounts.

Hello, my name is Jeremiah and I'm a zookaholic.

A few years back I had an '86 Zuke - she had over 200k and ran great for her age, but... she looked like she had 200k+ miles on her. She was beat to piss... wich was fine 'cause then I didn't feel bad about riding her hard.

Gone is the '86... I was feanding though, so I got an '88 yesterday. This one's in great shape (original seats are even in good condition!) but it overheats (will talk about that in another thread)

Just wanted to introduce myself and my little silver 88.

bought them for $100 from a discount aftermarket place. basically they get the factory defected stuff. the seat rails were messed up to were you couldn't slide them at all. took me 5 minutes to fix them. they usually sell for about $180ish apiece so i thought it was a good deal.

Hi,  new to Trackicks, but have had my share of jeeps and scouts in the past.  so, here it is:
1991 Tracker, stock 1.6 8v, 5-spd, no lockers (yet), std. diffs and t-case. 
mods include:  k&n style intake, DG header w/2in exhaust incl. the cat, strut/spring spacers for 1.5in lift, 235x15 Hercules Ironman m&s on a nice set of 15x7 turbines from the 1970's, pulled the ac for better cooling (didn't work anyway), spray-on truck bed liner for the grille and more to come for the lower body and rustoleum bed liner for the interior will be done before winter gets here.  also will be trimming some of the lower pastic off the front fenders.  cb radio w/weather channels, radio cassette and XM satellite radio as well.
so i run it at 3500rpm on the highway.  stock it avg'd 65mph and 33mpg.  still gets about that even with the taller tires.  still running same rpm, but i'm sure i'm going a little faster now.  hills seem to have very little impact on it so far. 
hope the pics come out here.  new to digital photography as well!!

big thanks to Blake for selling me such a great tracker and doing some of the mods!! ;D

well seems like everyone esle is doing this so i might as well post a pic of mine, its a 92 jlx auto. Its stock right now, except with 235/75/15 tires, you would consider this a before picture, I'm going to mod it soon with 5.13 gears, locker in the rear, 2" body lift, 2" suspension lift, and some 31" tires. also going to upgrade the brakes, and maybe try to get a  little more power out of it.

here's a pic.
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/4njeep/IMG_0237.jpg)

Edit: Now has 2" Suspension lift, CSA Scorpion wheels, 30x9.5 Goodyear MT/R with 5.13 gears and a locked rear :)

kick looks clean, 2"BL and a 2" susp lift won't clear 31's. just so ya don't go out and buy tires forst. ;)
with a pile of fender trimming they will fit.
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: 4njeep on June 20, 2006, 01:07:45 PM
hey JayN, thanks,
i know it will be a tight fit for the tires, i do already have some old 31's that i can try before going out and buying new ones, but i dont mind doing a little bit of mods to make them fit, I like the lower big tire look than up high, thats why im not going with the 6+" lift. Its going to be a daily driver/trail truck. and i dont plan on doing anything extreme with it. well we will se how it works out in the end.
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: Jeremiah on June 20, 2006, 07:40:25 PM
Just cut the fenders - there's threads on how to do it. It looks better with bigger cut fenders - instead of TINY wheel wells, and big tires.
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: Maroon Monsoon on June 20, 2006, 10:01:41 PM
a friend of mine did a really cool squared fender cut that turned out pretty cool looking.

if you are going to cut the fenders and like a low look I wouldn't even bother body lifting it. quaddawg fit 31's with some fender trimming and it's a nice low look and very functional. he also doesn't have the higher center of gravity a body lift would have given him

that's awesome that it's a diesel. I wish there were little diesel rigs like that in the US. the hilux with diesel sounds nice... almost the same as a tacoma I know but I think it's retarted that they don't sell small diesel 4X4's in the states. they get better mileage and better low end power right?

What do you mean by flipping the strut?
In Portugal at least we have 3 diferent body, the soft-top, as you have it, the metal top, you also have it there, a like mine, the hard-top, that as as hood scoop that i though you also have there.
Yes i completely removed the front bumper which increased a  lot the aproach angle.

bujas, if you haven't done so already you should flip your strut mounts. completely free and you'll put your travel where you need it. if you already did it, sorry in advance for even bringing it up

What do you mean by flipping the strut?
In Portugal at least we have 3 diferent body, the soft-top, as you have it, the metal top, you also have it there, a like mine, the hard-top, that as as hood scoop that i though you also have there.
Yes i completely removed the front bumper which increased a  lot the aproach angle.

you take the pice that the top of the strut bolts to and turn it upside down. puts your travel where you most need it with your lift

completely free as well

others have mentioned it on here and that's how I found out about it. if you want info from many people so you can get as much input possible on it just post a topic about it. I told you just about all I can although I know how to do the job. to get more perspectives and possibly pics posting a topic is a good idea. good luck with that kick, it's got serious potential

I ended up replacing my rotting white tracker with this:
1995 Sunrunner 5spd 16v
I kept my bfg winter tires from the old truck(235/75), and just had to put them on, I painted the rims black, much better than white  :P they're stock Samurai wheels.

My new ride is an '87 Samurai. Bone stock at this point. The only mod so far is 215/75/15 mudders. I have alot of "shopping"(my wife hates that) to do for other mods. No definite choices yet.
The best thing about it is that I didn't "spend " a dime on it. I traded a Chevy Astro van title for title for it.
Since I'm new to the Suzuki game I'm sure I'll be asking questions, so stay tuned.

heya guys. havent got round to putting my pics up yet, so see if this works, shes an 88, went through a few different "looks" started out standard, then got some vitara wideboy wheels and some stupid wide tyres jeeping her low. then i crashed her, got a 2 month driving ban. so i thought i would make the most of my time... resprayed in black, replaced all the broken panels, got hold of 5 brand new 31s on brandnew wheels for £140 (bargain yes!) then got 2" lifted springs and went SPOA... let me know what u think! :-D

and i got a few poser pics but there rather big files...

other stuff done include nikki carb, got a weber i might try out aswell at some point, brandnew soft top with blacked out windows (looks rather pimp) all custom made side panels inside with nice black carpet, sound system? amped 6x9s and a 1600watt 15" sub... dont ask where i found room for it... ;-)

ive had 7 Sami's/SJs etc in under a year... so doing well for spares... and the cost of all the lift and tyres and paint came to just under £300.... i seem to be very lucky with finding bargains...

Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: JayN on September 25, 2006, 05:24:22 PM
mine is just a beater, nothing special. it has a 3" steel block body lift with 1 good ol canadian hockey puck as well. then i have some 2" coil spacers, with some rancho 5000's in the rear. the front i have some calimini strut spacers that i still need to put in. i built the rear cage, the gearing is just stock, i drove it to work today and it still has pep witht he 33's on the road. my motor has had the head shaved to give it some more compression and a cold air intake.
works good, will be better once the rear is welded.
you coming to the island for Zukes On the Rock?
thats what my hurry is. ;D
i'm just in victoria.

i do have some xj coils to go in the back and will grab some ranger coils for the front. then i can throw my spacers in my 4 door DD. ;D

Good luck on the Zukination kit...I waited 2 months after being told it would be ready in a couple of weeks (that was 6 months ago)...which was the same story my buddy was told over a year ago. Then when they told me the price, I almost shat myself.

Go talk to Clay at Evolution, they will make you one that is similar to the trailtough setup, for around the same price. They do awsome work. Wish I did that instead of buying the Calmini kit. ::)

Some of the things we had to do

custom flywheel, pilot bearing, wiring, motormounts,radiator brackets and much more.

Hopefully there will be much more information soon.

Since then:

Installed 1 inch digger coil spacers and gabriel ultra shocks (crown vic), westar strut mounts en route...
29x8.50 Super Swamper TSL's on 15x6.5 factory ford rims.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/TehkNine/newtires.jpg)

Sorry about the crappy pic, took it last night after a laborous too many hours getting the rims to clear the calipers.  I knew going in that the ford rims needed the center holes milled, and the back spacing was 3.75", I thought I cleared every issue...  So temporarily there are washers behind the front rims to hold until I get a some 5/16" spacers.

Wheeled the hell out of it today, but forgot the camera...

Post by: TehkTracker on December 03, 2006, 04:48:03 PM

Like crap.  it came out of a old home tower.  I have it hooked directly to the CD (settings applied to direct only bass to the rear) unamped, no bass-blockers up front so whatever frequencies the sub puts out decent bass is canceled out by the blown fronts.

But it fits under the passenger seat which saves precious cargo space  ;D

I kinda want to stick 6" mid-bass' (aka: mini-woofers) under each seat, powered by either a small amp or a pair of boosters...

it has never left the driveway has it. that thing would flex out and hit the floors and fenders leaving my driveway.

mine had home made body lift, and coil spacers with only 33x12.5's and i had to do a tonne of firewall pounding. there is almost no way that 35's won't rub after you start cutting.
the clutch won't hold uptp the 35's either. when wheelin i had a few times where i thought my clutch exploded. filled the cab with clutch smoke.
yum.

if i can make it turn it will go as is... if not after lift i will put my 33's back on... the fenders have already been cut i was runnin 32's on now lift... i decided to try to 35's for now if not ill put my 33 truxus MT's on.... if it breaks it breaks... as long and it looks cool doing it... Also what terrain do you wheel JayN?

very tight and technical mountain terrain. lots of off camber, loamy dirt with lots of rock. you name it and we have it. then there's snow sometimes.


doesn't really matter what the terrain is though, flex is flex and you will need clutch for anything.

have fun with your build

Finally beginning to do some more work on this again.  Hubcaps:  check.

Next is to get rid of the stocker baldies.  Unfortunately, my World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals season ticket money is due next week, so it may be a couple more weeks.

Yeah, I know.  I like to keep it subtle.  Outwardly, all that's different are the mild lift, wheels, rock rails and mirrors.  The operating plan is to keep things looking as "factory" as possible.  I'm in a quandary about how aggressive to get with the tires and muffler now, though.

Well with me still being in high school some of my buddies are in a shop class so we made the brackets in there which on the inside of the seat we used an L bracket I think on the front. the back inside part uses stock hole. The outside bracket is a nice size I-beam lol which seriously weighs as much as the seats so we bolted those to the slide rails and then drilled holes through the under body and bolted it to the I-beams. I will get some pics up of them sometime soon on here or cardomain. For the 4 point harnesses they bolted into the rear left where the old seat went, the other side bolted to where the old seat belt went and the back straps bolted to where the old bolts from the rear seat went. But I will try and get some pics up here soon hopefully when it warms up.

Here is mine, not many mods as of yet but being on the forum has peaked my interest and brought alot of cool ideas to light. I love to trail ride in this so I will not get a huge lift or anything but some 29s would be nice. This is my third suzuki, first two were Sami's. Fun and loads cheaper than a jeep.

I can finally start my suspension work now since im starting to get money coming my way so i ordered 1.5" coil spacers and got them today and now im working on 3" body lift which I will then get 31's and then 3"suspension lift haha cant wait. My Tracker has been needing a lift for awile now lol. On those spacers it said somethin about having to get longer shocks and somethin about different struts up front. Instead of getting different struts could I just flip the mounts or whatever I have seen on this forum before and that would sae the hassle of getting new ones. What about the shocks do I need to get new ones that are longer or is there somethin i can do to eliminate that? Anyways help would be greatly appreciated since Im new to suspension lifts completely.

You may do a search and/or post this in a different place. I have read on here people using the shocks off a crown victoria on there lifts so that may be a good place to start your search. Good luck on your lift!

I used 78 Lincoln Continental rear shocks they are alot longer than the stock ones and give you a lot of articulation in the rear. My spring doesn't fall out but i can move it around a little and git it out. but it hasnt caused any problems in the 1 year (+) i have had them
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: Trackin92 on May 02, 2007, 04:53:41 PM
Ok so I obviously need longer shocks and it looks like from a Lincoln. What about up front the struts?

Oh nice comment about the wrecks and Indiana. I myself say oh shit like when I hit a deer lol

Post by: jeff1997 on May 02, 2007, 05:54:49 PM
Hey trackin92, I think you bought the spacers from me on ebay??? The instructions I sent with the spacers has the part # for longer rear shocks. They are pretty cheap, if I remember right. I hope the install goes good for you and I recommend flipping the front strut mount. Look on here for the instructions.
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: Trackin92 on May 02, 2007, 07:10:54 PM
It all depends on whats the cheapest right now because im trying to get the next part of my kit the body lift then suspension. How much are they?
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: Trackin92 on May 02, 2007, 08:19:02 PM
Its a little late but I just remembered someone on this forum asking to see how I got my seats to fit so here it is. I still need to take the brackets or I-beams lol out to get them sand blasted and painted.

Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: 95tracker on May 03, 2007, 05:14:54 AM
Ya the shocks were about $11-$12 at advanced auto parts

Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: Trackin92 on May 03, 2007, 10:56:17 AM
Yea I liked the old seats even but these are so much better I think.


Well 15 bucks a piece will fit my budget nicely. Thank god i get payed today. Looks like I have somethin to look forward to this weekend. sweet

Post by: jeff1997 on May 03, 2007, 04:57:03 PM
Hey 95tracker, did the spacers fit good? And what brand or part # of shock did you use?
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: 95tracker on May 04, 2007, 05:27:10 AM
I got energy suspension 2.6102 it is actually 1.75 front and 3/4 rear because the front saged so low(or the rear was just alot higher) but ya they fit good after i bored them out to 2.5 inches with a hole saw and a trusting buddy. i have yet to get tires so i am still on 30s but my dad gave me 31s but i still want wheels b4 i put the tires on.

Post by: 95tracker on May 04, 2007, 05:30:19 AM
I got monroe gas matic shocks for the rear from advanced off a 78 lincoln continental they were like 11-12 bucks. i had thought about just ordering some off of you jeff1997 but i work at a auto parts store so i got a awsome discount on them.
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: darkd on May 04, 2007, 08:19:14 AM
I couldn't find the box for the shocks but on that shock body itself it said P289X  ::) Im not sure if this is of any help, i will keep looking for the monroe part number...

edit, after alot of digging i found it, Monroe Part # 32162

Thanx a lot Tyson.

AS I already wrote: Or I think I wrote it before: I am using front Cherokkee XJ and they are already very long. I am using them together with 35mm longer Springs and 40mm Spacers and the Spring get very loose when going into flex.

Post by: jeff1997 on May 04, 2007, 04:42:25 PM
Hey 95tracker, did you buy the spacers from me? If so you said you had to bore them out? The ones I make should fit w/o any drilling or enlarging so I just wondered if they were the ones I make. By the way I do not sell shocks or anything other spacers, I just include the part
# I used on my 97. Please let me know if my spacers did not fit right so I can make adjustments!!!
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: 95tracker on May 05, 2007, 10:48:09 AM
No i was going to but since i work at a auto parts store i could buy them for like $30 o and the shock thing i had just worded it wrong i really need to double check these things b4 i post.
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread
Post by: jeff1997 on May 05, 2007, 04:14:55 PM
GOOD!!! I'm glad you did not have to bore out my spacers. I had a dimension issue with the first sets I made so I was really hoping they were still not too small. I only mentioned the shocks because on ebay almost everybody wants to buy shocks from me and I don't have any. I was just putting that out there so everybody knew I'm only in the coil spacer business. I hope to post some pics of my 97 4dr really soon. What are the seats you used out of?

Well... I Used this topic plenty when researching various stuff before modifying mine, so i thought i'd try and help a bit here too!

So... just an update really, i finally got my new tyres! After a long wait saving! So i took her for a photo shoot on the sunny Cliffs of Guernsey!

(http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e365/skandy32/jeep2.jpg)
(http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e365/skandy32/jeep4.jpg)

Quick spec...

A stock '94 Vitara (sidekick/tracker) 8valve with...
-De cat-pipe / Calmini cat-back exhaust
-2" Coil Spacers
-Shock/strut extensions to match
-3" Calmini bodylift
-32x11.50x15" BFG MTs on...
-15x7" TSW alloys

Rubbing tyres?  -  Had to cut about an inch off the back of the front fenders, but very minor rub at full lock offroad on the chassis... and tight, but suprisingly no rub at the rear!

Gearing?  -  Stock...! but working well, not going to change it! Drives fine on and offroad, plenty slow enough offroad!

Andy
Hope I'm of help to someone! :)

RocDoc's Ride:

1988 Samurai tintop, stock engine & axles.
5 inch SPOA Lift
Over-the-top steering
Panhard kit
Long-travel rear suspension & shocks
Tires:  Firestone Destination M/T, 30x9.50x15--these are Fantastic!
Wheels:  15x7 chrome 8-spoke, 2.5 inch backspace.  I like the wide stance.

Future:  Probably 4:1 transfer case gears--it runs out of OOMPH too easily, but gets me on every road I try so far.

Couple of photos:

Yesterday I bought a 97 Sidekick JX4x4 4 door to be my new daily driver. I had recently sold my 88.5 Samurai and used the funds from that transaction to get the Sidekick. I have been driving a LX450, but it's 10 mpg thirst was about to kill me with twice weekly refills. I am looking forward to the 30 mpg that I hear that Sidekicks can achieve.

This Sidekick looks and runs great with 154,000 miles. I think I would have preferred a 5 speed but the automatic gets the job done. This one is totally stock and will probably remain so.

I reflect back that I have had 5 4x4 SUV's in a row:89 Montero 2dr, 97 Montero Sport,97 Lexus LX450,88.5 Samurai, and now the 97 Sidekick.

Here are some pictures:

i got more pics  some where, ill try get them up once i get back from sea. 6 weeks. it has a 350 small block, sm 465 tranny and np 208 trsnsfer. toy axles front and rear(locked) 35"tires,the tire rod is off on the drivers side as im going to make alot stronger front end parts for it. the engine smokes right now, (dead #1 cyl) and it is by far the scariest thing i have ever driven. the wheel base is 14 " longer then it is wide. once i get a steering stabilizer and the tires balanced it should be a bit nicer to drive.

no major rust issues just had my brake master leaking so it caused a bit of corrosion. nothing I can't cut, weld, and patch.  I'm not quite done yet, just finished my body and suspension lift along with my transfer case and diff gearing. I rebuilt my front end because everything was already apart.
I'll keep updating Pics as I finish things. Right now I'm trying to get my hands on original military camo type paint from somebody who bought some for his hummer. working on the body because of rust on the hood and below the windshield. Gotta put on fender flares so the law doesn't get me, tires sticking out about 3 inches . Its getting better from what it was (http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=35.msg159069#msg159069)

Here is my 1987 Suzuki Samurai, Found her for sale on the side of the road for 800$, talked the guy down to 500$! Everything is pretty much stock. 1.3 L 5 speed. It has a 2" shackle lift on it. I have plans to build her up. She runs pretty darn good but I'm having a problem with it putting oil all over my tranny and Cat. Conv. so it smokes when I am not moving!  :-\ I'm happy with it over all. P.S. In one pic you can see some white paint. That's from a paintball game with some pals, we used her as a transport vehicle! haha fun times. Everyone have a good night, :laugh:

Title: Puddlehopper Snowed On
Post by: cadtek12 on December 03, 2007, 09:36:50 PM
'

Remember the Blizzards of 2006-2007 in Denver?  This was the first and biggest one on my Samurai.  Usually the sun comes out after a storm and everything is melted in a few days.  We almost broke the "consecutive days of snow on the ground" record, at least made the top five all time.  What's 63 days after Dec20? Last week of February, according to the Weather Service, but we still had ice on the streets for a couple of weeks beyond that.  Big tires were too worn out to do much good and the motor has been very tired since the summer before.  Bought a cheap set of snow tires and put them on the old stock rims and got around when we had to anyway.  Got the motor short blocked last month, leaving the 1.3l stock.  Finally getting close to having it back in.

My son made a shrewd deal for it about three years ago.  Traded an '85 Dodge 4X2 one-ton with no doors plus $700 for this '88 Samurai.  The truck got a new timing chain in auto shop class and we put exhaust stacks thru the bed behind the cab with glass packs to make it sound cool.  I thought he'd gotten the short end of the trade until we heard that the truck caught fire a couple of weeks later.  This rag-top came with a fiberglass cover and a bikini, which makes a nice combination.  It had a spring over axle conversion done and P265/70-15's, but the brake lines and gears hadn't been properly addressed.  Plus it had been abused.  All the door handles and window cranks, along with just about everything else plastic had been busted off.  At least the outside looks pretty good.  Got a long list to fix.

Happy trails.

Here's a quick pic I snapped the other day walkin' out to the truck to head to work.  Had some snow flurries falling, but it was too warm for anything to stick.  Just put a new coat of Herculiner on it, so I thought I'd snap a quick shot.

2" coil spacers
strut spacers (don't remember...1.5" maybe? LOL)

 ;)im new and ill get a few pics tomorrow but i just purchased a 90 tracker tsi for 500 bucks, ive been working on fluid and filter changes, and a front main seal but have go to do some minor wheeling(hills, light mud) i didnt know there was such a vast aftermarket for these but so far its been a great mini truck im going to keep it for a while....may need a tranny soon though, shifts hard and slips in 2nd when cold

90 tracker tsi hardtop
3 speed auto
auto locking hubs
everythings stock except for the cat delete that was on it when i purchased it...

future mods are a camo paint job(was blue with white tops, tops are flat black now)

decent sounding exhaust

Finally getting around to posting some pics. I found an 89 Sidekick(1.3L) for $500, previous owner said it had a blown head gasket, he threw in an extra head. Bought it, took it to the shop where I work and upon examination, it needed an air filter and new plugs and wires. Head gasket was not needed. Since then I have added a 2" spring spacer lift with strut extensions, and a set of Goodyear Wrangler AT's I bought at Pull-a-part. Had the aluminum 10" rims when I bought it. I run the stock tires off a sammy when I am not wheelin and get 20 mpg, the 31's are only good for about 15 mpg. Future plans includ a lockrite for the rear, and maybe a trans/tcase from a sammy. More to come...

Im sooooo happy, I had a 95 geo tracker back in Kentucky, but sold it before I moved to Florida, my reason was that I was going to get into the VW baja bug's instead.... BAD IDEA!! Ive looked and looked for another one, and finally found one, I pick it up today, but I do have some questions from ppl who know more about these than I do. Like I said mine was a 95 geo, the new one is a 01 chevy ZR2, are there much differance's in the two? whats the pro's and cons of the newer models? And whats some good sites to start building it up? Its bone stock as of now... ill post pics as soon as I get a chance.

My new Florida ride 2001 bone stock ZR2 Chevy Tracker.
just got it 1 week ago.


I first had a black '96 Tracker, then traded up to a new '03 exactly identical to yours (mine was 5-speed), so I know where you're coming from.  I peeled off the splashy "ZR-2" stickers as soon as I got it home.  I loved the stock wheels, but the 15" wouldn't fit when I did the drivetrain upgrade.

To answer your earlier question, there are significant differences between the Track-Kick (like your '95) and Track-Vit (like your new one) trucks so, outside of some differential bits, not much is interchangeable.  The aftermarket is still stronger for the older models, but it's slowly coming around for the later generation. 

I liked how light the '96 felt, but the newer truck is so much quieter and smoother that I really do like it a lot more...even when it was stock.

Upgrade your stereo and speakers, just a little.  Nothing expensive.  You'll appreciate it.

Hi, I'm from Canada, I picked up a beat up Sidekick from a girl in Montreal, she planted it in a light pole and probably her dad fixed it cause its been really poorly repaired.  And to top it all it was canary yellow...

(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h236/greyguild/Sidekick/IMGP0335.jpg)

Got a new hood, grill and a fiberglass top, changed tires and rims and more most of all, the color...

It ain't much for now but I will be installing a homemade 3" bodylift Kit, fixing the rust and holes in the floor mainly, new driving/fog lights and if I have the time a new set of bumpers

cool

but dude, thats a regular aftermarket intake

a CAI doesnt take in hot engine air because it (typically) runs down through the fender
(or blocks off engine heat [somehow])

Yep.  That's low-restriction (although also probably low-filtering...see http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest1.htm (http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest1.htm)...), which may help, but not cold-air.  So far, I've stuck with the stock airbox; it's of a higher-restriction, but it also draws colder air from the fender.  My guess is it's probably close to a draw, one way or the other.  One of these days I'm going to implement a real solution; cowl-induction would be....cool....

K&N or Trueflow drop in filters will do it now

i should have recorded the sound the engine made when i got it.  When i got it the #4 rod bearing was toast so i rebuilt the whole engine and head ground up it set outside for about a yeah with just a bikini top on so i had to clean out a inch of leaves out of the backseat.  also where the clutch cable came through the firewall had rusted out so the guy put a c-clamp on there to hold it.  the little compartment on the top of the dash was full of ciggerett butts.  it was nasty but i only paid 200 for the truck with 95000 miles on it.

Yes, their external roll cages are all custom  built. I just have some few more pictures of them as well as some of my toyota buddies. BTW, the big toyotas in some of the picture did notreally  have any trail advantage over  my zuk specially in uphill  mud climbs, tight turns (between trees) and swamp areas. Too bad, I am not a photo buiff and I rely mostly from buddies who bring cameras.

thanks for the pics cool dad

looks like you have a good looking bunch of rigs out there.

i wheel with a yota and he hates going out in the woods with no trails due to no able to turn as tightly as i can and plus he hates getting big scratches.

       thanks again

 Your welcome SNJ,
BTW, I have another Suzuki Samurai 1300 (1993 LWB) which I rebuilt for my son. It's basically stock except for the 32 inch M/T on steel ROH wheels,, reverse shackles and fender trimmed and some ordinary long travel shocks. The interior were all fixed and restored to original. 

Happy trails,

Current mods:

Calmini stainless header....stock cat....with no muffler.  =)

Ebay cold air intake....sounds cool....but kills my throttle response.  It's garbage.

29" tires on 15" aluminum wheels.

In the very near future:

Coil spacer lift (thanks to jeff1997)

30" ProComp tires on American Racing steelies.

New intake...might go back to stock, or make a snorkel.

although that my friend is a regular aftermarket intake

(a cold-air-intake/CAI is longer and lower so it pulls air from a fender or bumper)


good news is that you dont have to worry going over water so much  ;D

it fits perfect. it was a joke at first. i got the filter from a car at work and i was trying to figure out a new way to run my intake pipe with that filter and a buddy was like just put it on top. i was alittle loose so we just put elec grease around it and with the hood on it doesnt fall off.

Hi guys, This is my first post here so I'll do a quick introduction :)

My name is Óttar and I'm from Iceland. I've always been into sport cars (first car a Dodge stealth and the second one a mitsubishi 3000gt VR4.)
But as a financial crisis is settling in over here I decided to get something more practical.

And then out of the Blue my uncle offered me his 97 vitara 2L turbo diesel for free. I couldn't pass that offer so now i'm joining your society.

A little info about the car.
He bought the car new in 97 and has taken good care of it since, always maintained by the dealership and I've got a receit for every little part that's went into this car.
the interior is like new and the body is pretty good for a 11 year old car.
It's lifted a tiny bit and I got it with new rims and tires.

The cam timing is a bit off, sounds like it has jumped one tooth, not enough to damage valves but enough to make it horrendously slow. Fixing that this week.

But now on to the pics.

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3015/3000978346_97640534d6_o.jpg)

I'm not really sure yet what my plans are, but I might decide to turn it into a toycar.

If there are any special precautions with this car when doing the timing belt and tensioner I'd love to hear them :)

Thank you.

wish they had more diesel cars in the usa. its weird it seems the American car manufactures just realized there's a thing called force induction and diesel. only diesel vehicles we has is trucks. they still haven't caught on to build small diesel for cars.

Thanks Jay, Yeah, That's pretty sweet. I'm curious, how much performance do you think you gained with the Weber? How about the MSD? I ran MSD (6AL) on an old Trans Am,and it seemed to work quite well, but I never thought about using it on a Sammy.

Gets closer every time I get around to working on it........ hoping some time in the next year to be done.  :P

Do you have any additional gearing other than the 4.62 R&p?

I actually modeled the bed lightly off of a Kaiser M-715- I have a buddy that has one and I love it......

Amilia, Your sami caught my eye because that is exactly what mine looked like before I started chopping it up! My gearing is stock otherwise. I had a 16valve 1.6 in it that blew up, but it wasn't bad for power. Next engine setup in it is probably going to be a Mercedes turbo diesel out of a 240d- you can get entire cars for a little over a grand in my area.....

I also have a different hood for it.  ;D

Post by: IHBP on December 07, 2008, 12:58:51 AM
Hello all, here is my 88.5 sam JX.

435k miles..

1.3L block, 1.6L 8v head with a calmini midrange cam and stronger valve springs.
Hawk TriY header, Weber 32/36DGAV, stock intake ported to match adapter. Block is bored .040" and milled down for 13:1 Compression. Bosch Platinum plugs and stock ND ignition. K&N air filter replacement in stock filter box.

The drivetrain is stock save for the transmission which was replaced about 200K miles ago and is in serious need of new bearings now and the clutch has been replaced 3 times I think since I bought it... Stock gears/case, open diffs.
15x10 KMC wheels with 235/75 dunlop mudders

Earlier this year I pulled this rig out of a 7 year retirement. I had forgotten how much fun it is to drive.

Right now I'm just working on getting it back to running and driving right, rebuilt the front knuckles and got the steering all fixed and aligned so it drives nice now.

Next things on the list:

New front seats, some body work, bigger alternator, transmission/tcase bearings/seals. front bumper/winch, lift springs and new bushings, new driveshafts and a locker for the front axle. Not necessarily in that order but that should all keep me busy for a while at least.

This little truck has amazed not only myself, but all of my friends that have gone on rides with me. I'm looking to pick up a few more of these trucks along as I can get the people around here to sell them...

They actually work quite well, plenty of heat.  I also have a block heater that helps keep the motor just warm enough to start it right up, I so love my Samurai.

Good to hear Todd. Mine need a little work, but then again, I live in the desert, and my Zuk has worn a bikini top all winter.

Now I'm just jealous Bruce, sounds like a place I'd like to live.  I'd much rather have my Bikini top on year round than to deal with snow, wish it was Spring time already so I could take the doors and top off.
I would like to say that I really like Lockman's Samurai.  Looks like something I would really like to do except with a diesel under the hood.

Hahaha, that would be interesting!! Im brave but not rich. Broken gears and nuked engines are not fun. It is a bit more than I want to throw in it. I have the NSX system so that I can change out the nozzles to give me 30 hp, and will probably do that for longevity purposes. As long as you run prem. gas, retard it a degree or two, cool down your plugs a couple of steps and monitor your exhaust temps, you will be good for 30% on a stock engine, 50% is pushing it a bit. I only use it in highgear for hillclimbs. The autotrans lets me run that, anything lower and I would be gone. The rig has been a long and slow work in progress, I tried to keep the major parts Suzuki, the manual trans, petroworks clutch and 22 spline front did not hold up well with the 35 inch tires, too much shock on the drivetrain. I swapped in an autotrans, and a 26 spline front. That is a good combo so far. I wheel the crap out of it and I really did not want to go to a Yota axle. It works great and I didnt have to swap Yota, Chevy or Ford parts in. So Im happy.

Thanks, my friend Anthony owns the Polaris and in all fairness, I drove that same Polaris up the same obsticle a couple of months earlier. He owns a bad ass jeep that runs on propane and currie axles, he is use to stupid peddle and needs to worry more about wheel placement. He's learning though. The video came out blurry on the transfer. I am going to try and get it cleaned up. The key for me was to keep the Zuki within the average guys budget and get it as wild and reliable and stable  as possible without swapping in parts from different vehicle makes.

1 1/2" tube bent using Bend Tech Pro, welded to some angle in the front behind the headlight and to the tube rockers. 1/8" Aluminum screwed down to holes tapped in the tube. The old fenders were too rusted out. I'm making some similar flares for the back. A rear swing-out tire carrier is in the works for tomorrow. Winch is getting re-furbished.

Post by: dustybadlands on January 31, 2009, 10:22:00 PM
I'm not sure I know what you mean by "new fender sides". I have contemplated cutting the top portion off some old fenders to bolt above the flat part of the aluminum. I can think of no purpose other than appearance. It would be easy tho, I might try it.  Honestly, I built this rig to work on my property as a hunting rig/tractor. Did some web searches and caught the bug. Now I want to fab a crawler. Today I bent up a swing away spare carrier, it goes on Mon. when I buy more mix for the MIG. Tomorrow I'll do the rear fenders. I don't know what's next, maybe shorten up the top and button it down behind the seats to the boxes lip and I think I'm done. I know "you're never done", but I have 2 other Trackers to screw around with.

Got a PM from member freeriders98 asking about how my 29" tire fit on my stock Sammy. They fit fine, but it's not quite stock anymore. Figured I had better update.
I only went 2-21/5" lift, and replaces the shackle bushings with polyurethane ones.
Oh, The bumpers are changed out for some that are a bit more stout. ;)

New guy here (lurking for awhile). I'm not knew to Sammys. I bought my first Samurai in 1987 brand knew. It is currently in the back yard of a friend who married the girl my daughter sold it to. I currently own two Sammys. One is an 88 soft top with a removable hard top. It is pretty much stock except for rust and dirt. I have had it about six years and it has always got me where I wanted to go. Paid $500 for it. My second one is an 87 tin top. It is a work in progress
1300 Sumo II
Thorley headers
Calmini 2" cat and exhaust
New paint
Roof rack built by R. Tunell and myself
In the works;

Looking GOOD!  ;D Just gotta snug it up a little more. Once I got the front part centered and tight, I pulled down on the bow from the back stretching it out while cinching the velcro strap with the other hand. Mine's CAMO as well, but it's difficult to tell with the light it was in.  ;)

Love the BFG MTs. (235/75/15) They ride smoother and less noise than the worn out street tires that were on it when I bought it. Like night and day. I run a lot of gravel roads with a lot of washboard bumps.

Thought i would update my ride. I posted her up on page 42. Now has CJ/ RUF swap, longer shackles, and procomp explorer shocks. Still need a couple little things to finish it all up. Longer brake lines and some trimming of the relocation plates. But so far it has been awesome.

2.5" backspacing. Just a little rub |removethispart|@ full articulation and full turn. Nothing eating up tires or anything like that, Just a very minor rub of the outer knoby. If I dont turn full steer then no rub. The  cutting I did was maybe and inch towards the top ( I started cutting about even with the tire/mirror line, Maybe just a tad higher) and took off about 2.5" down by the mud flap, tappering it as I went down. On the front side of the  I took a litte off the inside of the fender, and cut the underside of the bumper "in" towards the license plate. I consider this all still minor trimming. Here is a flex shot, and it still has a few more inches easy.

My new Sami, bought it as a winter driver. I am the fourth owner. All stock and came with A/C. I feel a little guilty about using in the salty winters seeing as how it has very little rust. The only thing left to do is fix the drivers seat upholstery.

Get it undercoated or do it yourself with rustcheck cans or ATF fluid. Doing it yourself, you can pull off the interior panels and do a better job. I'd also do the frame, getting inside all the holes.
Nice find ;)

It looks AWESOME good job on the trimming and everything else!  Definitely has a great looking WIDE stance, and those wheelwells full o' tire makes it look even nicer since it's not lifted higher to clear the 32s.

Looks good!  Do you have any additional info on your cardan modification?
Title: Re: Members Rides Info thread (PICTURE THREAD)
Post by: hot-wheels on November 21, 2009, 01:24:05 PM
simple and easy to do.

it take two front d-shaft from a sj-410 or samy,and you rebuilt it to the proper lenght as the original cardan.

you have to figure the full travel susp (up/down) of it and you weld the flange to the part that goes into your diff and wheels.

(from your kick/tracker donor cardan)

i have no picture yet but as soon as i have one i will put it here to show you the result.

since i have put these i never broke one(yet)

When I first looked at the two pictures I thought you had re-painted the Vitara.  Then I realized it was just really really dirty.  :D

For suspension suggestions I suggest starting in the Tech faq that was recently posted.  If you don't see the answer in there start up a thread in the tech section.  Welcome to the board!:

Nice job with the two-tone, it blends in great!
Thanks DJ!  She had her bumps and bruises, and even her share of cancer. So I did the best I could on the body work, taped it off , and then had my cousin spray on the bedliner. I was a little nervous about the color choice, but I let the kids pick it( school colors) and really like it now that its done. I'll dig up a pic from before the bedliner and you will be able to see some of her damage!

Yeah that stuff will cover up ANYTHING.  Nice color choice.  Orange has been my favorite color since I was a young 'un (I believe it leads to my fascination in engine blocks).  That would be a good school mascot vehicle for one of the highschools in my town!

Almost sounds like somebody joined Pirate4x4 and didn't like it...
lol  I think I joined Pirate a few years ago,but didnt really lurk over there much. I recently joined suzuki-forums.com and there are a few very arrogent (yet knowledgeable,thats the crappy part) smart azz's that seem to get their kicks out of being more sarcastic then straight forward helpfull.  Id rather take advice from someone that is sincere,even if they have less knowledge, then take advice from someone that feels they need to show how much more knowledge they have then everyone else.
Sorry about the rant,but so far zukiworld has been great! Thanks

I agree.  pezpon, I keep seeing pics of your LWB pop up...looks great.  Nice choice of color, too  ;D
I especially like your sliders and bumpers...the way they extend out also gives you a nice step to store stuff on that roof rack on that tall hardtop, and keeps the trees away from your car...looks great!

Hello, just joined up today, live in Scotland

Just bought this
(http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv290/tangerinearab/goingtoknockhill.jpg)

1999 G/V 2.5 V6, 65k on the clock
Mods so far are a set of BFG AT, new wheel cover and a polish as bodywork wasn't great, car is to get us through winter really/camping trips etc had a swb vitara before which ended up highly modified and a discovery 300tdi too, seemed to break quite a lot on them so this one is staying fairly normal

Other mods planned are : roof basket (now on but not in pics), powdercoat wheels black (away getting done) nudge bar painted black (to put on) and a 2" suspension lift (next year)

(http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv290/tangerinearab/closergloryshot.jpg)

Previous vit, ended up with 3" calmini lift, 2" bodylift, snorkel, ratchet rear diff...

Hi all.

I'm fairly new to the forum here.  I'm a first time Suzuki owner and here is my ride:

2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4x4 limited
SR Customs 2" lift
TSW Carthage wheels 17x8
Maxxis Bighorns 255/65-17
OEM hitch and roof bars
Floor liners
Thule cargo box
Crystal Vison fogs/lows/hi beams

I bought it new and I only have 1500 miles on after a couple of months.  Seems like a nice little truck so far.

Here's my tracker

Year: 1990/1991
Type: Tracker
Engine: Stock 1.6L 8V with 119,000kms and 200,000kms on the drive train
Transmission: 5 speed
Lift: 3" body lift
Tires: BF Goodrich a/t 215/75/R15.. Soon 31's or 30's

 I live in Quebec so there's millions of trackers and sidekicks around because they were cheap and people drove them in the winter, now they're all rusted out but there's tons of parts. I had a tracker with a good frame and my friend had another tracker that he welded new floors in and changed the fenders on.. but the frame was broken so I made a trade with him and swapped the body over to mine. I put a homemade 3" body lift on it at the same time.

I finally had a little time to find some dirt for my new toy.  It's pretty stock except for the lift, wheels/tires, spacers, and the bar and lights on the front bumper.  Drivetrain's been rebuilt from one end to the other, tho it's still the original 1.3l with around 60 screaming hamsters of fury.  Interior's completely restored with new carpet, headliner, panels, upholstery.  I was going to find a project vehicle and put a 1.9l turbo diesel in it but, after pricing those engines, I'm glad I found this one with all the hard work done at a decent price.  I can live with the small engine for now.  I have twin sticks on the way and an instrument cluster with a tach to replace my non-tach cluster.  Also a center console to hold my water and/or soda.  I guess nobody used drive-thrus in the 80s.  I'll probably also add AC but that might just be Tuesday's 106 degree peak talking.

New to the group and forum. Also new to Zuks/Trackers. I have 99 2wd that has a ZOR 2'' sup. lift, 30'' bfg tires, lots of new engine parts for the 2.0 5speed in it. Runs like a champ. Going to be adding a 4wd conversion and ZOR bumpers. Also will add a few extras (cb radio/straps/jerry cans/etc). Main use will be trail runs and getting to my fav. fishing holes. I am sure I will be asking a lot of questions with regards to my tracker and my wifes little 91 2wd 2dr sidekick 16v that we couldnt pass up for 50.00 and the thing runs fairly good right now.  Cheers to all and I look forward from hearing from you all. I see a lot of nice rides and great information here. Thanks

PS I have included a pic but before tires and its not the best of pictures overall but it gives you all an idea

Well I've been working on this for 28 years since I bought it new. In the beginning it was the family car until about 2000 when the engine through a rod at 130k miles. It sat till about 2010 when it got a rebuilt 1.3 petroworks engine. Did a 3" spring lift, rebuilt trans, 30" tires, winch and one of My's bumpers. Its done most of the extreme trails in So Cal with no problems.

I used the Mustang rear shocks. The front struts are OE spec for the TrackKick. The shocks about 2" longer when extended. I didn't check the difference when compressed though. I had read that if using the Crown Vic shock that you have to do something with the lower mount, like the diameter is different or something. These are the same length and diameter, so bolted right in. As far as ride, they definitely ride better than the 20 year old stock ones, but I don't have anything else to go on.

Thank you.  I read it wrong. 

I used the Ford LTD shocks when I first lifted mine, but switched to the Doetsch shocks.  They had a significantly better ride.

Here's my '87 Samurai.  I bought it a couple of weeks ago and plan to lower it and get something closer to stock tires on it.  An interesting side note is that after purchase I found the owner's manual in the glove compartment.  On the cover was a sticker showing the original owner's name and VIN.  Something caught my eye.  I was the original owner.  So the Sammy came home after all these years.

Eric,  I'm not sure how many years we had it before my now ex-wife decided she wanted something faster.  Three years, I think.  I have service records kept by subsequent owners indicating that it traveled to Connecticut for a number of years before making its way back to Texas.  Along the way it changed from its original silver with stripes down each side to red and now its current black.  So to answer your question, it took about 28 years to find its way home.
