Nice kick dude, were you selling that a while ago? i bet it was in december when i saw it on buysell.com? or did you buy it off of there?
fredo where did u get that picture? the yellow one looks like bikers.

where abouts in BC do you lvie? im on the island

That's Dwayne's rig, he lives in Vancouver. His SAS build was done by Reo at No Limits Off-Road here in town. Reo specializes in Suzukis he's a prefers doing SAS lifts instead of IFS builds, and he does good work. I was going to do the same lift until I saw Mike Hagen's rig. Then a local guy by the name of Locash Mikey did a Calmini lift, I went to meet Mike to see what a Calmini lift looked like in person, and made up my mind stay IFS.
Oh and I see Dwayne has listed his tracker up for sale again in the buy&sell again :( why with the price of gas going up I'd reconsider Dwayne.
-
The black X90 is Reo's latest ride.
-
dwyane? the guy who owns the yellow tracker? he lives in nanaimo i thaught ???
-
Chopper's name is Dwayne also.
-
OHh ok i gots confused, because i think the yellow tracker is bikers from nanaimo
-

well, i'm not canadian .........but hello any how ;D welcome to the boards ;) great looking tracker :P .......matty d. 8)

Reo charges $3000 for the lift using rear leaf springs from a samurai up front with a samurai front axel, and 2" wheel spacers on each side. I don't know why that could be considered a better option than staying with the Calmini lift, I mean the samurai front axle is now you new weak point. I don't want to slam this lift but it just doesn't make sence going leaf springs up front and coils in the rear.
He wants $4000 to do Toyota axles, and another two grand or so to do coils, it keeps adding up. It would cost me $1000 to put in the Calmini anvil in, and best of all I can do mods to my rig without having to pay someone else to do it for me, I feel it's more rewarding that way.
PS: I did my lift with new ties, and wheels for $3400 with tax, and judging from the way Mike Hagen wheels his, I shouldn't have any problems with my IFS.
Sorry for preaching, but I don't get why everyone in Vancouver thinks SAS is the only way to go.
-
Your right, that is my yellow tracker in the pic. I have to agree with you on the IFS thing, I'm having too much fun tweaking my rig and playing around with the ifs to make it work better. VIVA IFS ;D ;D

I agree with you 100%
It's like a freaken pissing contest on the BC4x4 boards about SAS .vs. IFS
Sure SAS flexes more, but when does flex become too much?
I agree with Mike when he said that he would rather have a stable truck than a flopper.
To each his own I guess.
Oh ya, welcome to the boards dude ;D
-
i love solid axle i would use toyota axles if i did it .
and coils all around . would like to run 35's . sidekick is

My only point is Trackick IFS is just as valid as SAS. To each his own.
:-*
WELCOME CHOPPER! ;D See what your in for!

On the IFS thing, I agree.. its more of a challenge to make it work anyway! Mine has a 3 inch lift all round and does quite ok. I have just fitted some 24.8 " (extended length) shocks in the rear and the springs are only just loose at full droop.. Sure does make it articulate well !
-
yes i live in bc, hey ornage i wnet solid axle due to that i wanted a solis axled'd truck, all the local ppl oaround me we should all get together and go out for a run..... i posted my truck up for sale to see if there is any interest in it( and trust me even with the price of gas my truck is still a pig to drive) well gotta go to work ttyl happy wheelin'
-
If your ever on the island bro, give me a shout and we'll head out for a run.
-
Hey Dwayne I like to hook up with you to check out your rig, it looks awsome :)
-
Took ya long enough, I left that note on yer window a while back. Welcome to ZukiWorld. Nice axle conversion. Looks wicked. There is another solid axle in Cloverdale by the track, a white one.
See ya round the "depot"

Nice looking YOTA ;D
(http://www.kielbassa.com/pictures/cruiser%20forum.jpg)
I've thinking of going SAS. Spoted a 85 Yota for only 500 bucks. Going to check it out Sunday ???
Who Knows After Watching Heathers build up I my look for a 4dr for the SAS ;D Maybe, Maybe not We'll see. From what I've heard Yota axle gearing doesn't go up to 5:83s, Only 5:13. Any more info on those?
-
Thanks i love my cruiser . small block ,little bit more horespower . but i have to say the little sidekick .kick's ass too . ÂÂ
i've seen the white one in cloverdale also ,who is this ?  . also seen a purplish colored one in cloverdale with coils up front . ÂÂ

if i hadn't lifted the frame in my tracker this winter then i would be doing a SAS with D44's next winter.  still might, we'll have to see how well it prefoms(sp)  the way i look at it, eather the frame and gas tank have been holding it up in the mud so it wouldn't sink or  they where slowing me down so i could get through the really sicky stuff.  i dunno, wel'l find out in just a few weeks!!!
