    Awesome Tracker you’ve got!
    Here’s what I have on my 93 Suzuki Samurai 1.6L upgraded everything myself, and I don’t have a shop but love the outdoors off-roading so I build my little Samurai. I currently have 37” tires on and front axle was from an FJ60 9.5” diff 5.29:1 and rear axle from a 1994 FJ80 full float axle for the rear both with lock right locker. The leaf springs comes from an Isuzu Rodeo rear spring for both front and rear extended wheelbase 6” front and rear, 3” body lift, missing link shackles articulate above 14”, Ford shock mount for longer shocks for the front and rear, transmission from a 94 Suzuki Sidekick 4wd cut off transfer case chain and patched with aluminum plate upgrade to 4.24:1 ratio connected to the Samurai 6.5:1 transfer case. Power steering box from a 4runner 2nd generation Toyota high steer and connected to 07 Toyota Prius EPS really smooth turning the 37” tires. Made a custom bumper inner winch 9,500LB winch, onboard air compressor conversion from tracker air condition into air pump. Home made rocks slider and roof racks with LED light great for night run, equip with Midland high frequency long rang radio MTX400 for long distance communication on the trail. Broke other axles before but with current axles from the FJ60 front and FJ80 full float rear it’s bomb proof DANA 60 for now. Crawl ratio should be around 540:1.
    Next project will be a tracker similarity to yours, I think you got one of the badass small rig of all time. I know these small light weight rig are truly most capable than Jeep if build it right. I have friends with Jeeps and they punch through the trails with lots of horse power only to suffer breakdown. Hope to meet have see your rig sometime later in the future. Stay safe! Thanks

The rear was pretty easy because it is semi float, we just put the rotor and hat over the axle shaft and Jesse Haines built caliper mounts for the Wilwood calipers. In the front I am using FJ80 components, Jesse had to do a little machine work on the hubs but bolted the brake hat BEHIND the hub and then again built custom caliper brackets.

    Just think, if he would have put the huge amount of money this thing cost to buy and build, into an IRA, by the time retirement struck he would have a small fortune. What is this thing going to be worth when he retires?

      You will be relieved to know that I have a healthy retirement account.

      Sometimes it's about the journey and not the destination. Life is all too short for many that never make it to retirement. Enjoy the journey if you can afford it. BTW, IMO, cat food would taste better in this rig than most others.😊
