Has anybody done this? Ideas? Im trying to get the lowest gear ratio possible for my tracker.
If you could couple a 1.6 kick engine in a sammy, why couldn't you put a sammy 5 speed with sammy t-case in a kick?driveline angles ?, Fabbing up mounts would not be a problem.
Any other concerns?

Thats funny,  I hope somebody out there has some info on this.(I think I need some coffee it's gonna be a long night)

If you are going for the lowest possible gear ratio.....keep the trackick engine, tranny and tcase.....then add the samurai tcase behind that.  Regear your diffs to 5.12, if they aren't already (or 5.38, if you can find them).  Put 4:1s in the tracker tcase, put 8:1s in the samurai tcase, then you can start breaking stuff. 

Wow... that would put the user just a bit lower crawl ratio then I have right now... and that is while they are in 4th gear... 

 

The idea is to go a little lower and to have gear options.

I think simply have a 4:1 Sammy T-Case behind the stock Tracker T-Case with 5.12 gears will give you plenty of options.  That gives you a 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 options allowing you to go down to 160+ for your overall crawl ratio.  Throw in an automatic transmission and you should be able to go as slow as you need.

Do you have to do some cutting on the tracker tcase? I know there is the ott and kicker3 out there. We were wondering if there was any other alternatives that would be cheap. A few of us have some extra sami parts laying around ....

Yeah, that is what you would be doing....basically building a kicker 3 type setup.  The front output would need to be cut off the tracker tcase for clearance of the front driveshaft.

You can do it, there are a couple posts talking about it.  The only one I was able to find quickly was from a few years ago.

I am trying to find stand alone set up...

Like switching to a divorced transfer case?

The topic is titled : : sammy 5speed w/t-case in tracker/sidekick. A few of us wanted to know if this is possible...

Details please. What is all done?
