Hmmm I'm in need of a usable transfer case that's 91-98 but will have a fine spline output shaft (91-95), so I can install a 4:1.  I'd gladly trade you cases from my '90 since you won't be using low gears 

If you want to drive up and do the work.

Do you need the case, or good gears?  I have a good set of gears, and good tail shaft case, out of either a 93 or 95 tracker.  I cracked the fwd housing (by drop checking it) so that section is not useable. 

project trouble is looking mean!!! hey i made my brackets for the seats. i ended up taking the bottom frame of the seat like someone said, then took two peices of 1" square tubing to run across my seats horizontaly instead of vertically then welded them to the seat frame.  the seats sit 1" higher than stock but fit perfectly! ill get some pics soon. anyone want to buy my old cushins They're like new!!

Thanks for the compliments!  You should post a How-To with pictures on your seat frame modifications.  I have been looking at new seats for my daily driver and threw out the seats from Trouble before taking a really close look at how to add the mods. 

k will do, i am doing a coolant intake leak job right now on my Sonoma 4.3 so once i am done with that ill get some pics and post it.

Not too sure.  I'm still unsure about doing anything to my t-case and which way to go.  A '93 just popped up for sale locally that says "make offer" it doesn't run and he said there's water in the oil and it stopped running on him.  Could just be a head gasket but either way if it's a 4wd Tracker I can rob the case and make my money in parts if I get it for $500!

Well if you need them, just let me know.  It is not that hard working on the Transfer case especially if you have access to a FSM.   Not a piece of cake, but doable.  There is a gear in the front section that you need to pay attention as to the way it came out.  There is a front side, and a back side (very little difference), and it only works right the right way.

That's good news to me since I got the original 1990 FSM and an "electrical diagnosis" accompaniment manual as well when I bought my Tracker
The '93 ended up being a 2wd, oh well.  As usual, best to concentrate at the projects at hand right now (especially since I have a gaping hole in my backyard to finish making a pond out of!)

Some pictures from the last weekend.  We ran into a small problem with the paint not setting up properly forcing us to loose a day on the cage installation, but BRD HNTR was able to get the rest of it installed this week.

Pictures of the front hoop before installation:









And the rear cage install.  The cage was mounted by cutting holes in the floor then building a table for the for the tubing to mount to on the frame.  This allowed us to run the cross bar to a flat surface along side the main rear hoop.  We will be frame mounted in 4 points, with the option of adding an additional 2 points in the rear if we require a 6 point frame mount.





A quick shot of the finished front cage in the vehicle:



Full size pictures are being migrated to http://picasaweb.google.com/CrawlersNW/RaceCar so you can check there for larger pics and for additional photos.

Main job for this weekend is the dash installation and to finish up the wiring.

Hey, it's looking good!

I noticed something in the pictures and was wondering, how are you going to attach your racing harness?

The harness is going to be installed after the seat's are mounted.  that way we can make sure that our harness is in the correct position and all the angles are setup correctly.  We will add a lateral bar on the B-Pillar and weld the mounts to that.

That's the current plan anyway. 

How's it going guys?

Put tube braces w/slide stops across X braces in roll cage for Safety Harnesses.  Roll cage & seat mounts painted.  Seats will go in today, and Harnesses should be here today also.  Tires are mounted and on car.  After spool in diff is installed it should be ready for FIELD TEST this weekend. 
Still lots of smaller stuff like Fire Extinguishers, orange safety light, etc.

Hey Drone, I thought you were trying to lightin' that rig up, what are those door panels still doing in there? They must weigh a pound at least.  And how about the door windows? Really though, nice work so far.
