Thanks Kreg. ;)

I forgot the paint part of the question. Im tearing it down starting tomorrow.  :'( No tracker for 2 weeks! Im still freakin out about the color change. Ive been thinking of just staying black. :-/ but if I dont do it will I just keep thinking I should have gone orange?  >:( So frustrating!!! Of all the mods Ive ever done I find it strange that this is the one that freaks me out. My freinds are divided. Half say orange half say stay black. The ones that say stay black feel its my signature. The ones that say orange argue that it should look more like the radical machine it is. Ive always been more of the sleeper kinda wheeler but thats kida out the window now with the 35s and the Calmini bumpers ECT... My reason for the change is mainly the loads of crappy pics. In every woods pic I have it looks like the trees are growing out of the hood! OK, Im done babaling.  ;D

Hey Mike,
Have you thought of painting the nose orange then fade it to black with thinner and thinner stripes kinda like the old AA/R Cuda stripes but over the whole vehicle instead of just a trim stripe...that way you get the black and the orange...just a thought

I'm so jealous. 35' inch tires look pretty good. Nice pictures, I used those for wallpaper.

Your rig on 35" look soooooo nice !!!!!

For my 99 tracker i will put aproximatively 6.5-7" of lift.

And i think that a 33" would fit nicely...but after i have seen your rig, 35" look better.

Ok you run 3" calmini lift(they give realy 3" or you upgrade it for more inchs) and 4" body lift. You have 7" of total lift, right?

How much you cut the front and rear fender and floor too?

And finaly i look for good year mt/r too, what is your opinion about this tires? I need very good on road  performance and i prefer rock to mud...

Thanx

Mike,
Go for the Orange!!! If yo udont like it you can always go back to Black ;) It freaked me out going from dark metallic blue to white, but I loved the end result.

From what your description of what your looking for in a tire. I can say the the MTR would be perfect for you. The road performance is awesome. Sand, Snow, Rock is great. Mud is Fair.

Dont worry. I'll show up at Moab with some BIG UT Vols stickers to highlight the Orange ;D Do you think he would get kicked out of Minnesota for having a VOLS Tracker?

Thanx Eric!

And finally dou you think if a 35" are too big for a 99 and up model 4 doors tracker/vitara? With enough lift and cutting?

Or going with a 33" is a better idea?

And i wait for Mike answer about lift and cutting!

Thanx

Honestly I dont know enough about the 99 up tracker. :( From what I seen of the Calmini one in moab Id say 33s would be max and that would include fender trimming for sure in the front and possibly rear. Im not saying It cant be done just that its my best guess.

I was really hesitant on the MTRs but I couldnt afford BFG Krawlers and paint so I had to sacrifice. I am actually quite suprised. I havent found a place they dont kick ass in. I was in some pretty good mud too and I thought they performed suprisingly well. I just dont think they look as cool as Krawlers or swampers. :(

I have thought of things simalar to this but I want to keep it simple so replacement panels can be matched easily.

OOOPS. :P

The bigger they are the harder they are to turn. No suprise there. The wind seems to really slow me down. I use 4th more like when I had 32s and stock gearing. I have a set of 315/75/16 (35s) on XL7 rims I use for most of my street use. For some reason it hauls ass with those.  ??? I dont know if its because they have less sidewall or because they dont stick out of the fenders. (wind resistance ???)
