Drove 2 hrs to go wheeling today and didnt get 200ft across the parking lot and the r&p let go in the rear end of the samurai.
I knew the pinion bearing was going bad, but did not think it would get worse that quick.. Long story short, I need new r&P.
Now, I am thinking about kick gears. I do have a complete rear end out of a tracker. I think it was about 90' vintage, with manual 2wd. anyone know what ratio it might be? I am going to tear it down tomorrow to count the teeth. Would it be worth swaping out r&P only or maybe using the whole axle assembly? Does anyone have any pics of this swap? Anything i should look out for? If i use this axle, what type of tracker /kick should i look for at the junk yards for a matching front 3rd?
Thanks
Steve
