I think that is true, the problem is there is no mount point on the sammy 3rd member rear to bolt onto the front cross memeber of your tracker.

I think I have read that there is more than that but can not remember what is was, maybe ring and pinion depth :-/  The 'snout mount could be fixed like the strap mount mike made on his 7.5 front conversion without alot of work.

I'm sure that someone has tried it :-/ Anyone ???

ya here.  this is out of Hagen article,  You will need a ring and pinion retainer sleeve kit. This can be purchased from Hawk Strictly Suzuki or Spidertax. This kit is designed to put a Tracker/kick ring and pinion into a Samurai axle.  This kit is a two-piece kit. Since we are putting a Samurai carrier in a Tracker/kick housing, we will only need the barrel from this kit. The barrel is to hold the pins for the locker in place so they do not hit the pinion. Assemble into the Steel housing.    lata stu

i heard that you can take a front third member out of a tracker and put it in the rear of a sammy(i think).   now why couldn't we just swich the two around.  lata stu


The sami housing has an oil gallerie on the bottom that hits the crossmember. I have cut it off and welded the pinion mount to it but its a lot of grinding and welding. Dropping in a gv or xl7 chunk would be a lot cleaner.

Have you called Hawk to see if they have a used one? They usualy have good priced on their used stuff. I'm going Bone Yard shopping in the next couple of weeks for another parts truck, I'll keep my eyes open for a GV.
