Just say Fawk the stock case and get one of these.

No more gearing problems. :D


Is someone trying to get their hands on a used Sidekick 4:1  :-\  ;). Not gonna happen on this build  ;)

I would rather spend the money on parts I need instead of want to complete the project. Already having a 4:1 and a V-6+Tranny that will bolt streight up to it, I really dont need a T-Case. Plus with the Auto, 4:1 and 5.83's, I dont think I will have gearing options. Plus, if the stock T-Cases can hold up to Hagens set up and driving, I think it wil hold up to mine.

I considered building the X before I sold it to you, but it was in to good of shape to start hacking up, plus the first time you flopped it over, you will waste a lot of hard to find parts and probably wont be able to replace it.

I hired a Private Eye to investigate this alleged resurrection... This is what he turned up...

Zukipilots rig is not turning out the way he planned and it is now for sale on ebay.

If I built what I am wanting, it would look like that, with MUCH bigger tires and one of those scary ass huge lifts that should never be driven.  :P

I talked to tt the other day and they said that their prototype gear reduction is due in soon for the tracker/sidekick. It will set after the trans before the t case and is 3" wide this will also reduce high range 
and will sell for about 800.00 with the 4 to1 gear it should reduce low to about 6 to 1.
this would help as a dd using a stock gear.
95 tracker:  5.12 gears, 4:1 calmini t/c gear, locked front and rear, 6'' calmini lift, header, flowmaster, 31x10.50x15, beadlocks

Thanks for the info! I believe that I will be geared low enough with the 4:1, 5.83's and an auto tranny, but if looks like a need for more gear, I will definately look into this.
