I am planning on makeing a full belly pan kind of like your. I was wondering if you have anyclose up shots of it. Also what did you use to make your rock sliders under the door frames and is this where you connected the belly pan. I read the previous post on this  and am gonna use 10 gauge steel. How did you make the front skid plate (the one that goes from the bumper to the fron diff) or did you buy it. If so from where. I am always afraid I am gonna ram the front diff into something. Oh one last thing. I am also planning on doing the rear axele rotaion thing you did, but the link with the instructions isnt working, so I was curious if there was another link. I have a full set of Rancho 5000 series shocks for my 88' 3/4 ton dodge, could I use those for the rear, or do I need to use the f-150 ones. I am just getting into Zuks and am getting addicted. I have only had mine for two months now but I love it it is a blast. thanks for the help. have a good one

I found the link

The belly pan does attatch to the rocker skids. The front skid was homemade. I made a mock one out of thick cardboard taped togather, then dissasembled it, cut out my pieces and welded it up. It was a lot of work but worth it.

I dont know if the shocks would work or not? They might. I chose the f 150 ones because it had a post on top like the kick. There is more than one way to do things though.

I have never seen the front skid plate on you tracker.  I away thought t was a cal-mini.  dose anyone have a good pic?  lata stu

What did you use to make your Rock Skids? Do thye connect to your frame? If so if you hit them hard will it put a lot of stress on the frame?

My skids were a crappy ripoff of the calmini ones. To be honest the Calmini ones would be real easy to add a full pan to. On of the guys in our club is running them. Im making a new rocker skid and bellypan setup for my rig now. I think its going to work pretty good. Only time will tell. I dont plan on installing them untill after its painted. As far as strength of the frame... Id have to say it has increased strength if anything.

post some pics of the new pan when it is done, I think I am going to wait and do the t-case stuff first and then make the skidplating stuff. thanks for the info
