Tracker math
« on: May 28, 2004, 04:17:59 PM »
This...





...plus these...





...and some lovin' from this...





...equals...





Still need to trim the fenders.  The sawzall only came with one blade and I didn't think to buy more.  I have to trim the back side of the front fenderwells and the front side of the rear fender wells.



The new tires are 36x13.50x15 Super Swamper IROKs on 15x8 wheels with 2.5" backspacing. The old tires are 32.9.50x15 bias ply TSLs on 15x7 Allied beadlocks with 2" backspacing.  Believe it or not, the new tires and wheels are lighter than the smaller package.



A couple of random shots.









Next up...4.3l :) (well after the Calmini rear bumper)

Local cop is buying the beadlocks and 32s.

Seems everyone and their brother wanted those. :)

Gotta report back with how those fit after trimming... gonna do any additional spring spacing? I'm trying to decide on 34" or 36" TSL's...

PS: I remember your buildup thread on the [H] from a while ago... that was what got me interested in Sidekicks :)

Oh, damn!



You bought a Tracker 'cause of me?  I'm sorry!  ;D



Whatever you do, don't ever look at my Eclipse, then.  :P



It's raining here, tomorrow doesn't look much better. It's in the garage (barely) but there's hardly any room to work on it, we still have a buttload of boxes crammed in it from the move.  Hopefully I'll make enough room to finish the fenders tomorrow.



As it's looking now I may need to re-work part of the interior floorboard on the rear.  Hard to say right now.



Either way, it's worth it to get rid of the pizza cutters. It looks MUCH better with some meat on it.



Some crappy shots from in the garage...

lol... I remember hearing you talk about it occassionally over there, but I never did see it :o

I've already got more than one project already ;)


Your truck looks great with those tires on it... :)

Also: how high do those tires actually measure out to be?

It's very cooooool!!!!!!

But i think that a widened front end with a rear axles rotation (a la Mike Hagen) can help you for tires clearance!?

Trimming is done...to a point.  It's streetable right now, will need more trimming to reach the limit of the suspension's twist.  Took it to the gas station for a fill-up, it rode tons better (no beadlocks) and the engine didn't have a problem pulling the rig along.



Agent_Orange, ROFL.  Is there a pool going on how long I last when answering questions that were directed to me?  ;D

1bigtracker, no floorboard cutting yet.

Digger, could you stomach it?  :P  It might get pretty ugly.

In_Flames, Yeah, I don't think "Tonka Toy" applies anymore.

explosivo, on 15x8s they measure out to 36" even.

Fredo, not sure on Hagen's front end and rear axle set-ups.  I've seen them but I haven't really messed with the Tracker in months.  I just got the new 2004 Calmini catalog and though "Yeah! I need to do something with that thing!"  Too bad Calmini's swing-a-way will only fit up to a 33".  :-/

No Chevy motor?  What about Jeep axles, then?   :D

No, haven't updated the old website in ages. I've been working (slowly) on a new one.

Here's a better shot to give an overall idea of how it looks.

So, are those Iroks lighter than similarly sized TSL Bias Ply's? Your Tracker have any trouble pushing them?
